Attention is accented on that informative safety of Ukraine in a modern period is the mortgage of maintenance of the proper level of law and order in society, providing of state sovereignty, integrity and economic power of country. On the basis of analysis of norms of Constitution of Ukraine, and also legislative acts in the field of information and national safety, the state of legislative settlement of participation of institutes of civil society is described in realization of the events sent to providing of informative safety of the state.

Election Monitoring

In this paper I question the existence of a global civil society, suggesting that what we have witnessed in recent years is the emergence of myriad transnational advocacy networks (TANs). I illustrate this claim by looking at a recently novel area in world politics: the international monitoring of elections (IEM), a practice which I claim has partially redefined state sovereignty. This paper takes form as follows. In the first section I present a conceptual discussion on world civil society and TANS , and suggest an unexplored way in which emergent norms might be adopted internationally. In the next four sections I follow the evolution of the IEM TAN. Thus, the second section deals with the foundational 1986 Philippine case; the third section with the 1988 Chilean plebiscite; the fourth with the 1990 Nicaraguan elections, and the fifth with the 1994 Mexican electoral process. I conclude in the sixth section by evaluating the usefulness of the path of norm-diffusion, and by discussing how the practice of non-state actors has contributed to the redefinition of both state sovereignty and the international system.

To interpret the responses of Greece, Portugal, and Spain to changes in the international political economy over the past decade, I would like to borrow eclectically from the conceptual frameworks developed by both Ellen Comisso and Peter Katzenstein. From the former, I take the stress on the centrality of politics and choice and the notion that state structures create the possibility for a course of action without determining the action itself. From the latter, I retain the general proposition that during periods of hegemonic decline those possibilities for choice widen and include the option of changing state structure itself. To these I would add that the nature of options, the flexibility of response they imply, and the realm of choice itself depend heavily on the level of development of a particular state and civil society as well as on their relationship with one another. The more negative and less reinforcing the relationship, the more the respective needs of civil society and state will conflict. The greater the conflict, the more circumscribed the range of options available to political actors. In the case of the southern European newly industrializing countries (NICs), the changing articulation between civil society and the state and the external pressures influencing it inform both the evolution of domestic structures and the policy choices of elites within them.

    This study aims to shed light on the humanitarian organizations in light of the growing role of civil society organizations, including constructive and destructive, in addition to dealing with its emergence and development and the role that can play on the local and international arenas in the light of the guidance of the Koran and the Sunnah. The researcher has followed the inductive fundamentalist approach through the use of verses from the Koran supported by the interpretation of the interpreters and try to drop these interpretations on the lived reality through reference to the evidence from the Koran explicit, as well as the researcher inferred the Prophet's Sunnah, coupled with the explanations of the hadith Hadith as well as his biography In the publication of the Islamic call, the researcher reached many results, the most important of which are the different philosophers of Greece and the Greeks in their contemplation of human organizations through their freshness to society and the extent of enrichment provided by Arab and Muslim philosophers in the conceptualization. The researcher reached the legitimacy of constructive humanitarian organizations such as advocacy, liberation and humanitarian relief and awareness- raising organizations and the fight against organizations with destructive orientations that target the nation and its unity as Zionist and atheistic organizations. In contrast, the study recommended that all constructive humanitarian organizations should be encouraged. The study recommended that the role of civil society organizations should be activated in parallel with government institutions so that they are of no help to them, as explained in the conclusion of the search.

Abstract: The United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council (HRC) is the principal UN human rights body, and arguably the lynchpin of the UN human rights machinery. It brings together States, independent experts, UN staff and civil society actors, and reports to the full UN membership as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly. Its mandate and work is broad, with the body combining highly political elements, significant reliance on expertise, and in situ human rights investigations. In the 13 years since its establishment, the HRC has received significant attention from scholars, observers, civil society, and the wider public. There have been many significant successes and other highly visible failures in relation to the Council's mandate to promote, protect, and develop human rights. Since its establishment, the body has been a battleground over which the UN has to overcome inherent structural and ideological flaws in the pursuit of making the idealist human rights vision a reality. This article will provide an account of the Council's creation, key elements, work, and some of the largest challenges including primacy of State sovereignty, politicisation of the Council, and some highly politicised country-specific situations.

AbstractSignificant transformations in the migratory landscape of Greece have been observed recently. In practice, the mixed flows of migrants and refugees have modified the role of Greece as a migrant-receiving country. Immigration, in terms of either transit or settled immigrants, has become a major policy issue; additionally, it has mobilized national authorities, international bodies as well as formal and informal civil society organizations. Changes in the immigration landscape, along with adverse economic conditions, has led to further efforts by public authorities in the effective management of refugee flows and reducing the risks of irregular stay for a significant number of migrants. Despite significant developments in the legislative framework for the integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers (MRAs) into the labor market, their access to employment remains more of a secondary issue for policy actors.
