In December 2018, the General Assembly of PTP Delegates has accepted the new Code of Ethics of the Psychologists of the Polish Psychological Society and accepted the concept of a three-level system of ethical regulation. The proposal was supported by environmental and expert consultations. The first level is the newly adopted Code, presenting general ethical principles and the rights of clients, as well as the rights of psychologists. Regulations from this level relate to all professionals regardless of the specific areas of the professional performance, due to the fact they are all based on key values for each psychologist. Currently, work is underway to create ethical regulations from the second level, and hence individual psychological activities. The third level will include the detailed standards of psychologists’ work.

The first three, brief sections of the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers (1999) display striking inconsistency of content and uncertainty of purpose. The decision to incorporate those sections into a single code document along with the lengthy fourth section (Ethical Standards) appears to have contributed to their imperfection. The mission statement and the ethical principles, in particular, may develop better if they are divided into separate documents, each with its own distinct purpose. Such a development might help reduce the extent to which social workers must rely upon individualistic rather than shared wisdom in responding to common ethical issues.

Accounting is one of the foundations of the business in modern world and an accountant is a specialist whose level of professionalism must be impeccable. Today in Ukraine there is a “crisis of confidence” in the profession of an accountant, caused primarily by violations of ethical standards by specialists and neglect of professional values. The problem is aggravated by the users of accounting services themselves, who try to influence the accountant, satisfying their interests at the expense of others. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the importance of compliance with the basic ethical principles of behavior by accountants in order to restore user confidence in accounting and reporting data, identify the reasons for violation of the code of ethics by accountants and determine the main directions of work of the professional community, the state and the accountants to eliminate the identified problems. It has been determined that compliance with the basic ethical principles by accountants contributes to: the formation of professional values and the development of a conceptual model of accountant behavior at all levels of education (secondary vocational, higher, additional education, advanced training); the implementation of the national code of ethics for professional accountants by adapting it to Ukrainian practice, internal codes of ethics of professional organizations or accounting services; the creating a mechanism for identifying unethical behavior of accountants and introducing an effective system of sanctions for violation of the code of ethics. However, the ways of solving the problems described in the article will give a positive result if the comprehensive work is carried out to ensure compliance with the norms of the code of ethics – from the professional community, the state and the accountants. Most efforts will be fruitless until users of accounting services – employers and clients, as well as the public – begin to place real demands on the ethical behavior of accountants.

The effort of the delegate from Argentina to press the admission of certain states into the United Nations despite the negative vote of one of the five permanent members of the Security Council was denounced by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Poland, Belgium, Pakistan, The Netherlands, and France as being contrary to the provisions of the Charter in the discussion on the adoption of the agenda during the Third Session of the General Assembly. These states held that even discussion of such an item by the Assembly was illegal.

The Third General Assembly of the Latin American Episcopate took place last February in the Mexican city of Puebla. Without doubt it will make a profound impact upon the evangelizing action of the Church in Latin America. The documents produced at Puebla, like those produced in Medellin ten years earlier, will give rise to reflections that will find their way into the diverse pastoral plans of each nation.Neither Medellin nor Puebla can be considered isolated phenomenon. On the contrary, each should be seen as fruits of a maturing process in which Christian people, together with their pastors, express both the depths of their anguish and their high hopes and visions. That vision encompasses raising people from subhuman situations to a fuller experience of human life. Such experience should be expected to bring people together in brotherly love and lead naturally to a greater openness to God.

Positions taken by delegations in the U.N. General Assembly during debates of the Sixth and Seventh Special Sessions are analyzed to determine clustering on economic issues and their sources. Third-World states took positions consistently distinct from those of Eastern and Western countries, and economic attributes appear to explain this. Differences within the Third World were not consistent, however, and were more apparent in the Seventh Special Session. Divisions found between Third-World states on issues such as resource allocations and monetary reform included: states with slow versus fast economic growth rates; states dependent on Western versus Eastern aid; and regional differences. Neither OPEC nor a “fourth world” appeared distinct from the Third World as a whole. Coalitions, varying by issue, appeared to overlap to build the Third-World “bloc.”

ResuméDenne artikel argumenterer for, at en adækvat forståelse af den pædagogiske fagpersons myndighedsudøvelse involverer tre distinkte, men tæt sammenknyttede, myndighedsbegreber: Et formelt eller juridisk begreb der forstår myndighed som en grundlæggende juridisk og retslig kategori; et fagligt eller professionelt begreb der knytter myndighed til den pædagogiske fagpersons faglige kompetencer, og endelig et alment begreb der vedrører den pædagogiske fagpersons evne til forsvarligt at kunne forvalte asymmetriske magtrelationer. Den nuværende pædagogiske diskussion om myndighed har primært fokuseret på de to første begreber, mens det tredje begreb er blevet systematisk overset. Dette betyder, at der er væsentlige aspekter ved den pædagogiske praksis, som debatten og forskningen har svært ved at få greb og reflektere over. Artiklen ekspliciterer det almene myndighedsbegreb gennem en diskussion af BUPLs ”Etisk grundlag for pædagoger” og argumenterer for, at dette grundlag både understreger behovet for og giver et bestemt, substantielt indhold til det almene myndighedsbegreb. Artiklen afsluttes med en kort diskussion af Rasmus Willigs analyse af umyndiggørelsesprocesser i århusianske daginstitutioner ud fra og i lyset af det almene myndighedsbegreb. AbstractThis paper discusses different aspects of the authority possessed by professional educators and caretakers and argues for the theoretical need and empirical relevance of adopting a threefold distinction between legal authority, professional authority and general authority. The first two forms of authority have featured prominently in recent educational debates in Denmark whereas the third has been systematically overlooked. The paper argues that this neglect biases our understanding of the obligations and responsibilities of professional educators and caretakers. To explicate the significance and content of the general concept of authority the paper then looks at the professional code of ethics developed by BUPL, the Danish Union of Early Childhood and Youth Educators. The paper argues that this code both illustrates the relevance of and gives a particular content to the general concept. The paper concludes by briefly using the general concept of authority to examine and elucidate Rasmus Willig’s critical analysis of the structural processes through which the authority and the criticisms of professional caretakers from day care institutions in the municipality of Aarhus are undermined and disabled.

Article 22 of Law Number 11 of 2006 on Government of Aceh states that "The Aceh House of Representative (DPRA) and the Regency House of Representative (DPRK) have legislative, budgetary and supervisory functions". Then, the third part of article 25 concerning the rights, obligations and code of ethics in paragraphs (1) letters g and h states that the DPRA/DPRK compiles a budget plan in accordance with the functions, duties and authority of the DPRA/DPRK as part of the Aceh Revenue and Expenditure Budget and Regency/municipality Revenue and Expenditure Budgets using a price standard agreed by the Governor with the DPRA/DPRK. However, in reality the DPRA did not carry out its functions properly, resulting in delays in APBA ratification which could result in a number of executive agendas that were dependent on Budget approval that could worsen the economic conditions of the people of Aceh, which were stipulated by a Governor Regulation.
