2019
This paper examines some issues raised by the United States withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) related to Iran’s nuclear program. The JCPOA is a nonbinding document, there has been some debate about the effect of the subsequent U.N. Security Council resolution endorsing the document on its legal status and on the US faculty of unilaterally withdrawing from the plan of action. Iran brought a case before the International Court of Justice questioning the legality of the reintroduction of U.S sanctions, the Court could eventually address the issue in later phases. This paper concludes that U.S withdrawal is legal from an international law perspective. Security Counc…
Reparation Modalities at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC)
2020
Abstract In the last decade, the ECCC has ordered reparations for victims of the Khmer Rouge’s mass atrocities committed in Cambodia during the 1970s. Various scholars have examined those reparations ordered by the ECCC. Yet, this is the first academic piece to assess the ECCC’s reparation modalities under the UN Reparation Principles, which contain key standards on reparations for victims of atrocities. Overall, the ECCC has ordered important rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition measures to redress victims’ harm. This is a meaningful current development with regard to reparations for victims of atrocities. However, the ECCC’s reparation law and practice exhibits so…
The Future Of Mutual Assistance Conventions In The European Union
2010
The European Union, keeping to the traditional principles of conventional international law, dealt with judicial assistance within the framework provided by the Third Pillar, at first rather timidly through its new normative instruments; and then more effectively through the traditional route of conventions. The two main aims of the EU Convention 2000 are, on the one hand, 'ensuring that mutual assistance between Member States is provided in a fast and efficient manner'; 29 and on the other, guaranteeing that this is done in a way that is: 'compatible with the basic principles of their national law and in compliance with the individual rights and principles of the European Convention for th…

Informācijas atklātības princips un tā galējā robeža: teorijas īstenošana praksē
2009
Informācijas atklātības princips un tā galējā robeža: teorijas īstenošana praksē Kristīne Jarinovska Promocijas darba mērėis ir pārbaudīt hipotēzi, ka laikmetīgas demokrātiskas valsts tiesiskajai sistēmai jānodrošina sasniegtais informācijas atklātības aizsardzības līmenis publiskas informācijas pieejamības sakarā, kam savukārt jāatbilst vismaz vispārīgi atzītam minimumam. Līdz ar to darba ietvaros apskatīti vairāki jautājumi, tostarp tas, kas uzskatāms par informācijas atklātības aizsardzības līmeĦa minimumu publiskas informācijas pieejamības sakarā, kādas ir šī minimuma optimizācijas iespējas, kas uzskatāms par attiecīgā līmeĦa samazinājumu, kādu Latvijas tiesiskā sistēma nosaka informāci…
Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas pilnveidošanas aktuālie valststiesību jautājumi
2013
Anotācija. Atslēgas vārdi: Latvijas pašvaldību sistēma, Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas atjaunošana, pašvaldību teritoriālās un funkcionālās reformas. Latvijā pašvaldību sistēmas izpēte ir aktuāls juridiskās zinātnes objekts. Tomēr kopš valsts neatkarības atjaunošanas joprojām trūkst apjomīgu teorētisku pētījumu par pašvaldību sistēmu un šīs sistēmas izmaiņu pamatojumu. Šo promocijas darbu var uzskatīt par pirmo pētījumu Latvijas valststiesību apakšnozarē, kurā kompleksi raksturota Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas atjaunošana pēc padomju okupācijas perioda beigām, kā arī zinātniski izvērtētas līdz šim būtiskākās īstenotās pašvaldību teritoriālās un funkcionālās reformas. Promocijas darba kopsavilk…
Somalia: From the Errors of Colonialism to the Horrors of War
2012
Chapter 5 analyses the reality of the Republic of Somalia, a country which is currently facing the worst humanitarian crisis in history. The first descriptive part of the article shows how the current human catastrophe devastating the Somali people is the result of the incomprehensible de-composition of one of the most homogenous peoples in Africa, not only ethnically speaking, but also from a linguistic, religious and cultural point of view. This de-composition, which has led to Somalia being known as the “State without State”, is undoubtedly rooted in the errors and horrors suffered, in the first place, during the successive processes of colonization and de-colonisation, but also during t…
Flaws in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as shown by Marshall Islands v. United Kingdom, Marshall Islands v. Pakistan, Marshal…
2020
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) amongst its goals included both non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear disarmament. The cases Marshall Islands v. United Kingdom, Marshall Islands v. Pakistan, Marshall Islands v. India show that nuclear disarmament remains an unresolved issue. These cases refer to Article VI of NPT as being breached, and allege that the NPT can be considered to be customary international law. Furthermore, nuclear non-proliferation obligation has been fulfilled, however the obligation of nuclear disarmament has not been fulfilled. The Marshall Islands cases present three significant flaws in the NPT. The first flaw which is the ambiguous…
