Abstract: The article includes analysis of such categories as peace, right to peace and right of peace within the framework of international legal relations. The author studies the reß ection of these categories in international legal acts, drafts of international legal acts and doctrine, and he also provides his own position on the subjects of the right to peace and mechanisms for the implementation of this right. The author analyzes the Western and the post-Soviet international legal doctrines on the issues of peace, acts of the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council of the UN and UNESCO on right to peace. It is noted that the right to peace is a global natural right of peoples, which should be regarded together with the rights to self-determination and to oppose oppression. It is offered not to equal the right of peoples to peace with the right of individuals and social groups to take part in implementation of this right. The author offers to depart from the concept of the exclusive competence of certain states to protect the right to peace for their peoples. At the same time, the author disagrees that the states have a right to facilitate the right to peace of the peoples, which do not possess connection with these states. The article proves that monopolization of the system of guarantees of protection of the right to peace by the states in the international relations should be revised. The author provides a hypothesis that the right to peace cannot be regarded as a higher value than a right of peoples for development, self-determination or opposition to oppression. At the same time correlation of these rights does not mean that they can be substituted with each other. Implementation of one of the rights of peoples should not lead to the considerable limitation to its other global rights.

Abstract: The article is concerned with the criteria for the accepting the states as the new UN Members, as well as some specific features of the procedure for such accepting.

Abstract: The peace-making activities of the international organizations, and mandatory states is a key instrument for the support of peace in the modern world. The peace-making activities of the USA and its NATO allies provide a vivid example in this sphere, since their psychological operations for the management of international conflicts around the world provide great amount of factual material and are reflected in official documents, normative acts, doctrines and strategic conceptions, showing the role and place of modern conflict management technologies in the international competition as well as in any forms of global and regional international conflicts, as well as their influence on the evolution of modern conflicts. It should also be noted that the use of international conflict management technologies for the peace-making operation currently takes place in the conditions of the formation of the new global order, formation of the new centres of power, changes in the role of the existing political institutions, military political blocks, and lack of balance in the traditional collective security mechanisms in favour for the radical means used for achieving the goals, which in turn makes the conflicts more difficult to manage ad to influence, calling for the new forms and methods for the outer management of the conflict processes.

Abstract: The article includes analysis of the French followers of Bertrand D’Argentre, who in turn was the founder of the French theory of statues in the international private law. It is concluded that the theory of three statutes, as offered by B. D’Argentre was hardly accepted in the French doctrine of conflict law of XVII century. 17 scientists of that time are known to us, and they made a great influence on the development of international private law, while we may only recognize there of them as the followers of Bertrand D’Argentre (Paul Challine, Denis Simon, Denis Lebrun). It was Paul Challine who reintroduced the rule for the three classes of statutes (real, personal and of mixed nature) into the conf lict studies after this classification was almost forgotten for 80 years. The dissertation of Denis Simon serves as evidence of spread and application of the D’ Argentre’s system in France in late XVII century. The thoughts of Denis Lebrun show the great inf luence of this theory by the end of XVII century. It was thanks to the works of these three scientists, that the theory of D’Argentre was finally accepted in France.

Abstract: Protection of lands (soils) is one of the most topical problems, which both the international community and the states have to face. Together with climate change, lowered biological variety, atmosphere and water pollution, overproduction of waste, anthropogenic catastrophes, etc., it becomes a more and more important issue within the general mass of negative influences on the environment, lowering the quality of life of people. That is why specialists, lawyers, environmental specialists, economists of various states strive to find efficient means for the prevention of further worsening of quality of lands (soils) and to regenerate their quality. One of the means of such protection is legal responsibility. May states develop and implement means of civil law responsibility, including fines and administrative legal sanctions. Criminal legal prohibitions serve as the most severe reaction to the violations of the legislation on protection of lands.

Abstract: The article includes a review on the monograph, which was presented within the framework of an international interdisciplinary project on coordination of various needs in the coastal areas with the accent on the water environmental systems and fisheries, in which T. Markus, LL.M., took part from 2005 to 2008 From the standpoint of legal sciences, especially criminal, environmental law and forensic studies, the problems of preservation of water biological resources and fishing regulation are closely related to the violations of law, corruption, organized crime, including trans-national organized crime and other violations. That is why it is quite useful for a Russian reader to get acquainted with these studies by T. Markus on fisheries law in the EU. In spite of critical evaluations of the EU environmental policy on fisheries and preservation of water biological resources, taking into account the current reality and practice of other states, the author of the monograph comes to a conclusion that the EU regime is probably the most well-developed system of fisheries management in the world.
