The author focuses on one of the key analytical documents of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine - the National Report on the State of the Environment in Ukraine. The importance of presenting the systematized results of monitoring studies of the ecological situation in the country and regions is characterized. The peculiarities of the participation of state bodies in the system of ecological monitoring in collecting the necessary information are determined. It is noted that the presented list of subjects is assigned to the relevant areas of monitoring. It is noted that the current procedure for obtaining information on the environmental situation is inefficient and ineffective. Accordingly, this may negatively affect the quality of the content of the Analytical Report. The structure of the Analytical Report, which was determined in order to fully cover the environmental situation in the country, is described. The study found that in recent years, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine has not publicly presented the National Report on the state of the environment, due to quarantine restrictions and minimization of bureaucratic burden on the Ministry. It is noted that at the same time the Ministry continued to present regional reports on the official website divided up by regions. It was found that national and regional reports differ in their structure, which leads to the devaluation of the regional format due to their limitations. It is noted that in the future, regional reports can be a replacement or continuation of the national one, as long as a single structure is fulfilled. The important role of the National Report on the State of the Environment in Ukraine in the development of regulations, targeted programs to improve the environmental situation in Ukraine is pointed out.

Indicators of pollution in the area of tailing dumps allow us to qualify the environmental situation in them as an emergency. Environmental assessment of the role of tailing dumps allows realizing the costs for ensuring the safe interaction of the facility with the environment. Between the state of the environment of the mining region and the possibilities of technologies for the recovery of mining waste, there are legal links that need to be considered when developing a mechanism for their regulation.

The article is devoted to the review of current changes in the legislation on notaries related to the development of electronic civil circulation, analysis of existing digital risks and assessment of the role of notaries in combating them. In modern economic realities, a significant expansion of the sphere of competence of the notary is carried out by introducing completely new notarial actions into the scope of the notary’s terms of reference. At the same time, the notary does not just follow the general ‘digital’ trend, but independently makes significant efforts to effectively perform the tasks of the social sphere regulator assigned to it by the state. The creation of the Unified Notary Information System as part of the formation of the technological infrastructure to ensure the security and stability of legal relations in the context of electronic civil circulation takes to a new level the quality of notarial services and the security of legally relevant information. The role of notaries significantly increases in conditions when the use of digital technologies in the economy, public administration, social sphere becomes one of the main vectors of world development, and society and the state inevitably face the flip side of this process – digital risks that jeopardize the safety of participants in civil turnover and their property. In 2020, as part of the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy’, it is planned to introduce a number of innovations that will create the basis for a stable and secure ‘digital’ turnover.

Since 2002, Sunni jihadi groups have been active in Iranian Baluchistan without managing to plunge the region into chaos. This book suggests that a reason for this, besides Tehran’s military responses, has been the quality of Khomeini and Khamenei’s relationship with a network of South-Asia-educated Sunni ulama (mawlawis) originating from the Sarbaz oasis area, in the south of Baluchistan. Educated in the religiously reformist, socially conservative South Asian Deoband School, which puts the madrasa at the centre of social life, the Sarbazi ulama had taken advantage, in Iranian territory, of the eclipse of Baluch tribal might under the Pahlavi monarchy (1925-79). They emerged then as a bulwark against Soviet influence and progressive ideologies, before rallying to Khomeini in 1979. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, they have been playing the role of a rampart against Salafi propaganda and Saudi intrigues. The book shows that, through their alliance with an Iranian Kurdish-born Muslim-Brother movement and through the promotion of a distinct ‘Sunni vote’, they have since the early 2000s contributed towards – and benefitted from – the defence by the Reformist presidents Khatami (1997-2005) and Ruhani (since 2013) of local democracy and of the minorities’ rights. They endeavoured to help, at the same time, preventing the propagation of jihadism and Sunni radicalisation to Iran – at least until the ISIS/Daesh-claimed attacks of June 2017, in Tehran, shed light on the limits of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of reliance on Deobandi ulama and Muslim-Brother preachers in the country’s Sunni-peopled peripheries.

The drainage basin is spatially and functionally clearly defined and relevant hydrologic, geomorphologic and ecologic landscape totality. Therefore, it mostly represents basic geo-spatial unit of generation, monitoring, and studying numerous physical-geographical and geo-ecologic occurrences and processes. One of the most important components of geo-space, on the level of basin, is manifested through the state and quality of surface waters. So, the acceptance of systematic approach in studying mineralization of the surface waters would contribute to the deeper understanding of the process in complex systematic surroundings which drainage basin represents. The Visocica Drainage Basin was chosen as proving ground of this kind of the research approach for several reasons. The highest specific runoff on the territory of Eastern Serbia, heterogeneous geologic structure of terrain, almost complete absence of the influence of the anthropogenic factor on the state of the environment, as well as the existence of water accumulation enabled perception of the values of dissolved mineral substances of surface waters as landscape-ecologic component of geo-space.

The work examines modern methodological approaches to assessing the quality of life using environmental indicators. Analysis of the existing methods in Ukraine for determining the environmental component when measuring the quality of life showed the need to develop a new method for a comprehensive assessment of the state of the environment. This is due to the fact that the existing methodology for assessing the quality of life does not take into account the ecological component as a separate block of indicators, and also contains some inaccuracies in the formulas for calculating the final indicator. In this regard, a new method is proposed for determining the ecological component in the general system for assessing the quality of life of the population, which is the scientific novelty of the work. Based on the analysis of monitoring data on the quality of air, surface waters and soils of Ukraine, statistical reporting on environmental indicators of the development of regions of Ukraine, intermediate indicator indicators are calculated, and then the final complex indicator of the state of the environment is determined. Calculation formulas and assessment scales in points of the state of environmental components are proposed. The proposed method is based on the processing of data from official state statistics and environmental monitoring, which determines the reliability of the initial data. The proposed technique can easily be used as an algorithm for computerized calculations of the indicator of a comprehensive assessment of the state of the environment. The calculation of the indicator of the ecological state was made on the basis of current statistical data, which showed the need for immediate environmental protection measures in the industrially developed regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Lugansk regions.

The article analyzes the flaws of the classical measures of economic growth. It is based on the assumption that, while not questioning the quality of the GDP indicator as a tool for measuring economic activity, it points out that the way this indicator is constructed influences the actions of governments, citizens and other actors, affecting also non-productive areas. What we measure affects what we do - if production is measured, then the criterion determining the success of the state and society will be the growth of production, and not the level of education, health or state of the environment. Gross domestic product in many cases includes production that, from the point of view of the community, indicates unfavorable processes. These are the so-called anti-goods, i.e., phenomena that increase GDP, although they worsen well-being and are socially undesirable).

While the creation of a dynamic agricultural economy was explained by the extraordinary quality of the soils of the state and their excellent conditions for the growth of coffee, the same was not the case with industry. But how such industrial capital was generated and the role of native and foreign capital explains how this occurred. The existence of an educated foreign born labor force was another factor. The chapter covers all the primary industries created before 1950 and how the state’s industries came to control a large share of the nation’s industrial work force.

This chapter studies the role of arbitration for offshore resources in disputed maritime areas. It is an observable fact that disputes over maritime boundaries are mostly caused by competing desires of states to exploit offshore natural resources, in particular oil and gas deposits. Indeed, it is well known that the law on maritime boundaries was developed precisely in order to allocate rights over offshore natural resources. However, it has also long been observed that the law on maritime boundary delimitation, as developed by international tribunals, ostensibly pays only scant regard to this underlying basis of the disputes at issue. Rather, the law purports to base itself on other principles. In particular, the unilateral activities of the parties are consistently rejected as being ‘relevant circumstances’ relevant to a boundary delimitation. However, if one looks at what tribunals do, instead of what they say they do, it seems that in fact the unilateral activities of the parties concerning the exploitation of offshore hydrocarbons play a rather larger role. Whenever tribunals have some discretion, they invariably choose a delimitation line that gives oil and gas deposits to those parties that have taken the initiative to drill them unilaterally, provided that this drilling has taken place at least within a plausible boundary of the state that issued the concession. Moreover, tribunals are extremely reluctant to draw boundaries over drilled deposits, thus avoiding making them shared as a result of the delimitation exercise.

<p>Perkembangan di dunia penerbangan terhadap prinsip kedaulatan negara di ruang udara yang bersifat complete and exclusive kini telah terkikis oleh berbagai perjanjian internasional di bidang penerbangan yang dibuat oleh negara-negara dewasa ini seperti perjanjian perdagangan jasa pesawat penerbangan baik yang berbentuk multilateral seperti WTO, Regional seperti ASEAN maupun bilateral. Tulisan ini mengidentifikasi dua permasalahan yaitu: pertama, bagaimanakah konsep kedaulatan negara atas ruang udara yang bersifat complete dan exclusive dalam hukum internasional diimplementasi dalam peraturan perundang-undangan nasional Indonesia melalui hak penguasaan negara? kedua, bagaimana konsep hukum yang tepat yang dapat mengharmoniskan kepentingan kedaulatan negara melalui hak pengusaan negara di tengah liberalisasi perdagangan jasa penerbangan? Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah merupakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa: pertama, terjadi pergeseran makna kedaulatan negara dalam penguasaan wilayah udara dari penguasaan yang ekslusif dan lengkap menjadi terbatas karena adanya liberalisasi perdagangan dunia penerbangan. Kedua, rekonseptualisasi peran pemerintah dalam hal penguasaan negara atas ruang udara sebagai sumber daya strategis adalah pergeseran peranan pemerintah dari sebagai penonton saja menjadi fasilitator dan regulator yang berperan besar dalam meningkatkan daya saing dunia penerbangan nasional. Penelitian ini menyarankan peranan pemerintah dalam meningkatkan daya saing dunia penerbangan adalah melalui: menciptakan peraturan perundang- undangan yang menjamin adanya kepastian hukum, reformasi birokrasi di bidang penerbangan, penyediaan infrastruktur penerbangan, peningkatan kualitas SDM di bidang penerbangan, dan penegakan hukum yang konsisten.</p><p>The development in the aviation world on the principle of state sovereignty in air space that is both complete and exclusive have now been eroded by various international treaties in the field of airflight made by countries today as a trading treaty services of an aircraft in flight, both multilateral treaty like WTO, and regional treaty such as ASEAN or bilateral treaty. This articles identify two problems, first, how is state sovereignty concept over air space that is exclusive and complete under international law can be implemented in the Indonesia’s law and regulation through State Right Sovereignty over Airspace, second, how is the legal concept that can harmonize sovereignty interest through the State Right of Sovereignty over Airspace under liberalization regime? The methods of this research are normative resecarh approach. The result of this research shown that: Firstly, there is a shift in the meaning of State Sovereignty over its airspace from the complete and exclusive control and be limited because of the trade liberalisation of aviation world. Secondly, role re-conceptualitation of the government regarding the state sovereignty over its air space as a source of strategic power from the role of the government as a spectator to a facilatator and regulator with a major role in increasing the competitiveness of national flight. This research suggested that the role of the government in increasing the competitiveness of the national flight can be done by: creating the law and regulation that guarantee the legal certainty, bureaucracy reform in the field of flight, providing infrastructure flight, increasing the quality of human resources in the field of flight, and law enforcement that are consistent.</p>
