Heutzutage existiert Piraterie an vielen Orten und in vielen Formen auf der ganzen Welt. Der Grund dafür ist, dass kriminelle Organisationen erkannt haben, dass Lösegelderpressung oder Ladungsraub ein einträgliches Geschäft sein kann. Auch internationale Organisationen und nationale Regierungen haben diesen Trend erkannt und erwerben ein immer höheres Know-how, wie mit dieser Art der Bedrohung umzugehen ist, bzw. wie gegen diese vorgegangen werden kann. Auch Reedern und Schiffseignern ist bewusst geworden, dass ihre Schiffe jederzeit Ziel eines Piratenangriffes sein können, wenn sie sich in diesen gefährdeten Gebieten aufhalten. Aufgrund dessen wurden Maßnahmen ergriffen, um Schiffe, Ladungen und Besatzungen zu schützen. Dabei müssen die Reeder und Schiffseigner jedoch den Kostenrahmen beachten, weil sich die Transporte sonst nicht mehr rentieren oder die Preise für die Kunden zu hoch veranschlagt werden müssen. In recent years the worldwide threat of piracy has increased. Ransom or robbery charge can be a lucrative business. In this matter West Africa and Indonesia are currently the most vulnerable areas of the world. A disturbance of the sea transport streams causes economic damage and should therefore continue to be actively discouraged. International organizations and governments have recognized that. The military operations at the Horn of Africa effectively decreases the number of pirate attacks. Ship owners are also aware that their ships could be the target of a pirate attack at any time. They have taken steps to protect crew, ship and cargo. However, the ship owners need to consider the cost framework; otherwise the prices for the end customers will become too high. This article describes piracy in general and especially the economic aspects of this threat. Keywords: rechtsrahmen, nutzwertanalyse, imb pcr, gefährdungsgebiete

This presentation will focus on the issue of the privatization of water. The privatization of water is currently being facilitated by the growth of trade liberalization and the free trade policies of international organizations like the IMF and World Bank. It is also growing due to the neoliberal policies of states and because of the increasing power of the private sector (including well- funded lobby and special interest groups) over the policies of governments. The principal arguments and viewpoints of those who both support and oppose the privatization of water will be examined and evaluated. In particular, arguments concerning the cost and accessibility of water for people will be studied. The effects and implications of privatization in highly diverse communities in both developed and developing countries will be discussed. An example from the community of Cochabamba in Bolivia will be analyzed, showing many of the drawbacks that can come with the privatization of water. This presentation will argue that water is a precious resource which ought not to be treated as a commodity. Instead, it should be treated as a human right that no individual or corporation should make a monetary profit from. Governments ought to provide safe drinking water for their citizens, rather than leaving this duty to the private sector as is happening in many parts of the world.

This contribution discusses the hostilities that opposed Israel against Egypt, Syria and the armed forces of other Arab states, which took place in October 1973. After setting out the context of this confrontation, which is directly linked to the 1967 Six Days War, it presents the legal positions of the main protagonists (Israel, Egypt, Syria) as well as those of third states and international organizations. The third section examines the legality of this resort to force under jus ad bellum and concludes that the military operations on behalf of the Arab states can be justified as an exercise of the right to self-defence. Finally, the conclusions discuss the limited precedential value of this specific incident with respect to the interpretation of the prohibition to use force in international relations.

Abstract: Modern military conflicts have proved that military actions are characterized by very rapid situational changes. Commanders and staffs must know how to react promptly to these changes and order, according to the situation, the measures to be taken, knowing that their decisions will coordinate the combat actions of the forces according to the missions received. The tendency of modern armies to increase the mobility of their troops by technological up-grades in short time, which incorporated the latest developments in science at that time, has been constantly backed up by the tendency to find the most economical and effective ways to reduce the maneuverability of opposing troops. These trends generated by the high dynamics of the current confrontation environment have practically imposed the need for the permanent remodeling of the military structures having as final goal the obtaining of the victory in the military operations/actions.

Post-9/11 civil-military challenges associated with sustained military operations against assorted enemies in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and other regions around the world are examined through the Clausewitzian concept known as the "paradoxical trinity" of the people, the military establishment, and the civilian government. As America's wars are conducted by a consortium of land forces that General Peter Schoomaker once characterized as a "new strategic triad" composed of the Army and Marines with Special Operations Forces (SOF), the Clausewitzian framework is employed to help reassess three interrelated lessons drawn from the Vietnam War: the legality of war, the use of advanced weapons and their associated strategies, and the persistent debates over how best to employ military power focused on conventional versus unconventional forces' roles, missions, and tactics. Potential futures of landpower and civil-military relations are identified and discussed to challenge current political and military policies and stimulate further inquiry.

Transparency is one of the most contested aspects of international organizations. While observers frequently call for greater oversight of policy making, evidence suggests that settlement between states is more likely when negotiations are conducted behind closed doors. The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) legal body provides a useful illustration of these competing perspectives. As in many courts, WTO dispute settlement is designed explicitly to facilitate settlement throughprivateconsultations. However, this study argues that the privacy of negotiations creates opportunities for states to strike deals that disadvantage others. Looking at product-level trade flows from all disputes between 1995 and 2011, it finds that private (early) settlements lead to discriminatory trade outcomes – complainant countries gain disproportionately more than the rest of the membership. When the facts of a case are made known through a ruling, these disproportional gains disappear entirely. The article also finds that third-party participation – commonly criticized for making settlement less likely – significantly reduces disparities in post-dispute trade. It then draws parallels to domestic law and concludes with a set of policy prescriptions.

This paper focuses on the underground military galleries and countermine system of the Petrovaradin Fortress near Novi Sad (Serbia). The Petrovaradin Fortress was presented within the working group Underground Built Heritage Reuse and Valorisation Strategies on the COST action Underground4value as a good example of tourist valorised underground cultural heritage in Serbia. The goal of the paper is to consider as widely as possible the options that could contribute to the sustainability of these galleries. Numerous field observations, complex research of the literature as well as other available sources, and interviews with visitors to the fortress were necessary for this goal to be achieved. The paper has special historical and practical significance. On the one hand, it represents a record in time concerning the condition of the Petrovaradin Fortress. The practical significance is reflected in the scientific contribution based on the critical analysis of the results obtained from authorities on the Fortress and visitors, as well as the ideas that the authors conceived or adapted from similar sites in the world, assessing that these ideas can be applied to the Petrovaradin Fortress. The results of the paper explain the aspects of ecological, economic, and social sustainability of the Petrovaradin Fortress, and indicate the need for it to be supported by various institutions.

This forecast examines the major trends in Russia's relations with the world and in the Russian view of the world in 2016. The forecast looks firstly at Russia's role in the world in the context of the extant and emergent state of geopolitics. In a confused international environment, caught between the multiple, discordant and disorderly games of checkers of the present and the emerging design of a new grand chessboard for international relations, Russia and the West have been forced into cooperation. While far from easy and far from guaranteed to work – or last – this situation does offer the possibility of overcoming divides to pursue mutual interests. These interests become particularly apparent in the context of increased shared threats and the need to act jointly against them, the uncertainties created by rising powers, and the difficulties that Russia finds itself in. The key role of new mega-regional trade agreements in this emerging great game is also emphasised in the subsequent sections of the forecast, which deal, respectively, with foreign policy and political economy. The foreign policy analysis sees the US in flux in a presidential election year, and the EU caught at the crossroads of its own failure to capitalise on integration and a migration crisis of unprecedented proportions. Meanwhile, foreign policy in the post-Soviet space is characterised more by stasis than by substantial change, with frozen conflicts and stagnant reforms in Ukraine and limited room for manoeuvre for other players the order of the day. The Russian involvement in the Middle East, however, is anything but stagnant, with the military operations in Syria having dramatic effects in both the situation in Syria and global and regional geopolitics. The sustainability of this quest for influence, however, is questioned by the attitude of other players, but also by Russia's own internal weaknesses, notably its serious and deepening economic crisis.

It is generally assumed that the result of the healthcare company's work is taxed. This is the principle used by most tax systems in the world. But not with us. The tax system that is currently being used in Russia, which was invented and implemented by "experts" from the IMF, is not based on the state withdrawing from the producer some, even the lion's share, of the profit that he received. The know-how of this system consists of “wind up” taxes and other mandatory payments of a tax nature on the cost of production and on each other. The concept of social entrepreneurship at the microeconomic level is revealed. The characteristics of social and socially oriented enterprises are given, their role as a palliative in alleviating poverty in Russia is shown. The main obstacles to the formation and development of social entrepreneurship in Russia are identified. Measures to overcome them are proposed and the prospects of this type of entrepreneurship are evaluated.

When the World War I began Lithuania was on the vanguards of the military operations. Around 60,000 Lithuanians were recruited in the Russian Army and employed on the operational fronts of the war. However, they were not blind performers of Tsarist ambitions, but, as The Amber Declaration showed, nurtured political ambitions of their own. The document issued on 4/17 August 1914 was signed, inter alia, by the patriarch of national credo, Jonas Basanavičius , and clearly affirmed the Lithuanian ideals, i.e. the aim of unifying Lithuania with Lithuania Minor then in German hands and the awarding of an autonomous status to a united Lithuania within the Russian Empire. This article tackles an enticing moment in the process of national rebirth, the Congress of the Representatives of the Lithuanian Military Officers of the Romanian Front held in Bender (Tighina), in southern Bessarabia, on 1-3 November 1917, calling for the creation of a Lithuanian national state. How this congress and the proclamation it issued fitted into the general frame of self-determination movements and Lithuanian national revival of 1917-1918, which led to the rebirth of the Lithuanian state? Who were the conveners and the participants to this congress? What arguments did they put forward in their national-building claims? What role did it play on the pathway to Lithuanian independence? Overlooked in most of the Lithuanian historical treatises, the Congress of the Representatives of the Lithuanian Military Officers of the Romanian Front in Bender City had in fact of greater significance than it allows to be understood when counting solely the relatively lower visibility of its leaders or the direct institutional lineage to the proclamation of independence.

In this paper conventional and innovative phyto-technologies, applied on different kinds ofpolluted waters to obtain their safe reuse, are showed. Today, the last frontier ofenvironmental recovery in the world is: Water Reclamation. Most important targets of waterreclamation are: recover and reuse wastewaters in safety, freshwater aquifer recharge, publichealth protection, and new economic viable source. There are a lot of technologies to treatdifferent kinds of wastewaters (urban, industrial, zootechnical, etc), but conventionaltechnologies able to treat, recover and reuse wastewaters in the same time, are very few and soexpensive that the cost of recovered water is no sustainable by public administrations; overallin the developing countries in Africa, Asia, South and Centre America (F AO-WHO).In the latest years, phyto-technologies proved their efficiency in the wastewater reclamationand their cheap and easy way to be built and maintained. The phyto-technologies experiencesshown in this paper are applied on polluted waters from industries and agroindustries, pigfeedlot, towns, and polluted water of rivers and/or lakes. The paper is completed withanalytical data and results; compared with national and/or international (F AO-WHO) lawlimits for reclaimed waters; and building and maintenance costs, compared with conventionalactivated sludge systems.We speak about projects financed by public administrations or international organizations(F AO-European Union) and realized to reclaim and reuse treated wastewaters usingconventional and/or advanced phytoremediation technologies. All this has opened a newcheap and easy way, to reuse in safety treated waters, to protect environment, and to controlfresh water pollution.
