From the time of the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) until today, there have been occasional but continuous attacks on the territory, the population, and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. No matter how the agreements of the Novi Pazar Convention, the Sangermen Peace Treaty, the Vidovdan Constitution, or the Zavnobih principles were violated and circumvented, the attack on the independent, sovereign, and complete BiH, a country of equal peoples and others, ie citizens, continued with equal intensity after the 1990s. XX century until today. The paper presents the continuity of fraud in terms of legal regulations, ie the legal order of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are witnessing continuous unconstitutional and illegal activities in BiH, and whose political mentors and tutors almost always came from outside BiH, while the concrete action was carried out and is still carried out by certain Bosnian Serb and Croat political entities who often behave completely servilely concerning the national policies of neighboring countries: Croatia and Serbia, but also certain international factors due to the consequences of Islamophobia are often willing to ignore the rule of law and human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, what they jealously protect in their countries. The example of promoting the unconstitutional Day of the Republika Srpska entity and the overall state of legal unfoundedness and political hysteria created around it testifies to the claim that the political destiny of this country is still largely conditioned by local servility, and not by correct political-partnership relations with Serbia and Croatia. Given this, it is quite certain that the constitutional consistency and consociational model of democracy as well as the principle of the constituency of the people, although a big noose around the neck of this country on the path to a civil state and full realization of human rights, is extremely important legal and political support in Bosniak and all other patriotic forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which should be used properly in an insincere and ill-intentioned environment. The work in front of you contains two interrelated parts, the first part which refers to several historically important legal documents, from the end of the 19th century, which are mala fide the activity of different subjects, who initially proclaimed them and even stood behind them, played or derogated fraus legis, and the second part indicates the continuity of these actions, both domestically and internationally when it comes to the current time and recent history of political and legal relations in BiH.

Abstract The Wukan Incident attracted extensive attention both in China and around the world, and has been interpreted from many different perspectives. In both the media and academia, the focus has very much been on the temporal level of the Incident. The political and legal dimensions, as well as the implications of the Incident in terms of human rights have all been pored over. However, what all of these discussions have overlooked is the role played by religious force during the Incident. The village of Wukan has a history of over four hundred years, and is deeply influenced by the religious beliefs of its people. Within both the system of religious beliefs and in everyday life in the village, the divine immortal Zhenxiu Xianweng and the religious rite of casting shengbei have a powerful influence. In times of peace, Xianweng and casting shengbei work to bestow good fortune, wealth and longevity on both the village itself, and the individuals who live there. During the Wukan Incident, they had a harmonizing influence, and helped to unify and protect the people. Looking at the specific roles played by religion throughout the Wukan Incident will not only enable us to develop a more meaningful understanding of the cultural nature and the complexity of the Incident itself, it will also enrich our understanding, on a divine level, of innovations in social management.

Human rights advocates call for reparation as an important step to acknowledge and repair historical injustice and mass harms. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, victims of war continue to seek monetary reparation for non-pecuniary damages caused by genocide: murder, injury to human body and dignity, and harms inflicted upon a close family member. They seek legal remedies using national, foreign, and international human rights judicial venues. Drawing from qualitative, ethnographic research data and archival documents, the article examines legal claims and public discourse regarding reparation and makes a case for a reconceptualization of reparation by including victim voices. The article concludes that despite being absent from the post-conflict victims’ reparation programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, monetary reparation has assumed a social valuation attribute. On the one hand, it is a victim’s call for retributive, legal conceptions of justice – that someone who escaped international and national criminal justice programs pays. On the other hand, it is a tool to draw attention to Bosnian victims’ present civil and political exclusions that came with the international post-conflict peace treaty. While the post-war reconstruction focused on international trials, democratization, restorative justice, and state building programs, it also restricted socio-economic and cultural rights by redefining the citizenship and dismantling the welfare state. Reparation is a debt owed to victims.

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th a sense of solidarity shared by the people of the Northern Europe appeared: Pan-Scandinavianism. First it had a certain impact at cultural and spiritual levels. In a narrower sense the term was used when referring to the possibility of creating a political union between the Nordic kingdoms during the middle decades of the 19th century. Although it seemed that the political side of Pan-Scandianvianism had a good chance of accomplishing itself, especially after the Three Years War (1848-1851), the international context from the period that followed did not favour that plan. The collapse of the political Pan-Scandinavianism was in 1864 – the Second Schleswig-Holstein War. Sweden-Norway failed in helping Denmark against Prussia and Austria, despite the fact that King Karl XV was an advocate of Pan-Scandinavianism. Leaving this aspect aside, there were other internal difficulties of the Nordic states that Pan-Scandinavianism had to face, including the emerging nationalism. On a broader view, Pan-Scandinavianism appeared as an opponent of Panslavism and Pangermanism. Thus the dream of a unified Scandinavia was abandoned in the 19th century and Pan-Scandinavianism focused on cultural, scientific and economic cooperation.

The article contains a study in the field of interaction and dependence of constitutional guarantees of human rights in the Republic of Moldova on power, economy and capital. An example is given of the set of meanings and forms of this democracy, the measure, level and values of the citizens who make up a collective or make up the crowd, from the point of view of organizing the means by leading the people over the state. The causal relationship is analyzed between the interaction and the direct dependence of the implementation of the constitutional norms on the political will, the level of the economy, including the interest and purpose of the capital dictatorship.

Las regatas de traineras son competiciones deportivas entre embarcaciones de 12 metros de eslora, que durante el siglo XIX estaban dedicadas a la pesca, y que competían dentro de un ambiente festivo en las principales localidades del norte de España. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX fueron evolucionando hacia un evento deportivo, compitiendo para obtener la bandera de la localidad organizadora. Con el paso del tiempo y la mejora en el transporte los equipos viajaban a otras localidades más alejadas, creciendo el interés por estos enfrentamientos tradicionales. El número de competiciones fue elevándose, pero hasta la publicación de este artículo no se había determinado cuando se produjo este crecimiento. Para conocer cómo ha evolucionado el número de estas competiciones se han introducido todas las regatas de la historia en una base de datos, para constatar que hubo un aumento sustancial en los años 1970, cuando varias localidades afianzaron sus competiciones. También se ha observado un crecimiento en las regatas de traineras en los últimos 10 años debido a la presencia de competiciones en categoría femenina y veterana. Este aumento constante desde hace 50 años ha sido debido principalmente a la creación de clubes de remo en toda la franja Cantábrica, desde finales de los años 1960. Estas instituciones se han fundado casi exclusivamente en las provincias de La Coruña, Pontevedra, Cantabria, Vizcaya y Guipúzcoa, regiones donde se celebran la mayoría de las competiciones de esta especialidad. AbstractI Trainera races are sports competitions held in northern Spain between boats made up of thirteen rowers and a skipper. Since the middle of the 19th century, the trainera were mainly used for fishing, and only competed in the festivals of their home towns, or those bordering them, with the aim of obtaining the economic prize and the flag of the organizing town. During the first half of the 20th century these competitions evolved into a sporting event, and their rowers, who had traditionally been fishermen, were replaced by members of sporting societies. The better structuring of the races, the political support, the increase in prizes, the improvement in transport and the strong identity of the local coastal communities led to an increase in interest in these traditional competitions. The number of competitions was increasing, but until the publication of this article it had not been determined when this growth occurred. In order to know how the number of these competitions has evolved, all the races in history have been entered into a database, to confirm that there was a increase in the 1970s, when several localities consolidated their competitions. There has also been an increase in the number of rowing boat races in the last 10 years due to the presence of competitions in the female and veteran categories. This constant increase over the last 50 years has been mainly due to the creation of rowing clubs throughout the Cantabrian strip since the late 1960s. These institutions have been founded almost exclusively in the provinces of La Coruña, Pontevedra, Cantabria, Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa, regions where most of the competitions in this specialty are held.

‘May the safety of the people be the supreme law!’ Cicero’s slogan is invoked to justify the claim that during a state of emergency, the political sovereign may do whatever in his judgement is required to secure the people, including acting against the law. It would seem to follow that when human rights are made into legal entitlements, they may legitimately be suspended along with other legal protections during a state of emergency. As a result, human rights would be relativized to what we can think of as a political judgement about when the safety of the people is not in issue. The author contests this claim through an argument based in Hobbes’s political and legal theory that the safety of the people is a juridical concept, as is sovereignty itself. The sovereign cannot act outside of law and his exercises of power have to be justified to his subjects as being according to law, where accordance with law requires respect for human rights. These ideas are located in the constitutionalist tradition which stretches back to Cicero and his much-misinterpreted slogan.

This chapter is interested in how there has been a lack of transitional justice in Zimbabwe in the aftermath of the political disturbances and genocide of the early 1980s. The overarching argument is that the failure to recognise the value of Ubuntu has engendered a missed opportunity at transitional justice and healing of wounds, which were caused by the massacres. Ubuntu's three fundamental praxes, according to Samkange, are the three fundamental maxims: the respect and recognition of the humanity of others, the preservation of life (human and otherwise), and the importance of the will of the people in as far as governance is concerned. The failure, by ZANU-PF governments, to recognise the salience of these three maxims has led to the persistent marginalisation of ethnic minorities and also the violent impunity of governance characterised by human rights abuses. This chapter proposes an Afrocentric restorative justice model that is founded on the concept of Ubuntu and focuses on the salience of the spirit of humanity in managing human conflicts.

The aim of the article is to show the forms and content of public and political activity of the Slavic elites in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the time of Habsburg rule (1878–1914). The research into the press releases and academic publications allows to show the most prominent circles and individuals who aspired to be the representatives of the people, defined in accordance with ethnic and religious divisions. These groups are characterised via an analysis of the correlation between the socio-political circumstances in Bosnia and the external influences (such as ideologies, personal and organisation relations, the impact of the state authorities). The political stances among the most prominent circles are portrayed in the context of the legal and institutional solutions regarding Bosnia, as well as the ethnic and religious policy of the Habsburg administration.

Injustice certainly occurs between communities, especially in politics. This injustice gave birth to activists who fought to defend the rights of the people who were victims of oppression, violence, kidnapping and so on. One of the human rights activists in Indonesia, Munir, who died because he was poisoned on his way to Amsterdam, Netherlands, became the inspiration for a music group called Efek Rumah Kaca on their song ‘Di Udara’. This pop genre song full of political messages conveyed to the community aims to inflame the spirit of activists and is expected to give birth to a new Munir. The political message packaged in the music video for the song ‘Di Udara’ is the focus of this research study. Through the study method all signs and codes contained in the visuals contained in this music video were analyzed using the sign theory namely Semiotics. The purpose of this study was to inflamethe spirit of activists and facilitate the delivery of activists’ messages through music videos.
