The research dwells on criminal and legal aspects of international cooperation in the field of combating transnational organized crime. The issues of fighting against transnational organized crime affect all states without exception. Therefore the formation of national legislation in this area should consider the international experience in combating this phenomenon and utilize international legal acts that serve as the basis for creating not only specific norms but also a national policy to counteract transnational organized crime. This article aims at studying different forms of interaction between agencies carrying out criminal procedure activities on an international scale and developing recommendations in order to introduce the most effective methods of such interaction into the procedural practice and legislation of Kazakhstan. The authors of the article analyze the international legal framework, regulatory documents and law enforcement practice of a number of states (mainly the US, the EU, etc.). The authors conclude that criminal procedure aspects of the international legal framework for countering transnational organized crime in the context of the legislation of Kazakhstan require further development, improvement and comprehensive research. The study results obtained by the authors can serve as the basis for further scientific discussions and new surveys, as well as be used in the development of educational and practical manuals on the study of international cooperation both in criminal proceedings and in the fight against transnational organized crime.

The pursuit of consistency in European conflict of laws is fully understandable and of pressing importance. It demands a cross-sectional analysis of a comprehensive nature in order to align the various legislative instruments and synchronize their treatment of legal issues. In respect of the practical application of European law, attention needs to be paid to promoting a convergence of international jurisdiction and the applicable law. It is frequently the case that competing policy values face off, with the result being a multi-step legal inquiry that not only is overly complicated but is in fact outside the actual domain of conflict-of-law instruments. Here as well greater consistency is in order. As a first and essential step, the numerous inconsistencies and contradictions must be the subject of detailed research. Only then can an earnest inquiry be undertaken as to how these shortcomings are best resolved; in part, the solutions will lie in the application of legal tools and devices, such as characterization and mandatory rules, and in part a consolidation of existing instruments will be called for. The time for a comprehensive codification of European private international law, by contrast, is not yet ripe. Those striving for clarity would be advised to pursue the model of a "creeping (or expanding) codification" that initially only aggregates existing texts, e.g. the Rome I, Rome II and Brussels I Regulations. The effort, moreover, needs to be conceptualized as a form of open legislation, one capable of later absorbing additional elements such as general rules, a revised Rome III Regulation or rules in regard to maintenance.

The axiological plane in the interpretation of provisions of the waste management law plays a significant role due to dynamic changes which are taking place concerning its values and which are related to waste management procedures. Although they are, to a large extent, one of the elements forming the structure of the general objectives of the environmental law, they also retain their individual systemic properties, as presented in part 1 of the study. Analyzing the main structural assumptions of the teleological aspect in the derivational theory of legal interpretation created by Maciej Zieliński will allow us to examine whether it may be a valuable tool in the interpretation of provisions of waste management law. In this context, we must note that supporting a particular ideology of interpretation may be conducive to maintaining axiological consistency when applying provisions of a given branch of law. Furthermore, the detachment of particular interpretative directives from the methodology of their use (or as M. Zieliński puts it in his conception - from certain principles, rules or guidelines) makes them a “passive” instrument in the hands of the interpreter that may lead to interpretative results that are often irreconcilable with the objectives of the law ascribed to the legislator.

The good administration of justice is an essential element of the functioning of any state of law, representing a national security objective through the prism of the implications and dysfunctions it can create at the level of society, but also a fundamental pillar in ensuring an act of justice in accordance with the law. That is why the State has the primary obligation to organize the activity of judicial bodies, being liable in the event of a violation of this mission, considering the fact that the errors produced in the act of justice produce serious effects on the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens, including material damages and morals. The foundation of the State's liability for judicial errors is free access to the court and the right to a fair trial, with national legislation effectively guaranteeing a high quality of the judicial act.

The retributive mechanisms of transitional justice seek to provide answers to crimes from the past, to bring those responsible to justice and in this way provide a kind of satisfaction to the victim, and represent an opportunity to prevent possible future crimes. It seems that the retributive mechanisms had the greatest reach in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Numerous authors advocate that Bosnia and Herzegovina represents the best example of retributive responses of transitional justice compared to other post-conflict countries. In this paper, there is no agreement for such a position. In contrast, retributive responses had numerous shortcomings such as extremely slow processes and lack of a unique and strategic approach in practices. This paper reviews the retributive responses of Bosnia and Herzegovina to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, which includes institutional, framework normative elements and relevant policies to combat the crimes that are the subject of this paper. Based on the review of the literature and the state of the responses, the basis for the argument that retributive responses were necessary, but mostly unsuccessful, is developed. It is concluded that retributive responses could never achieve the preventive effects advocated by transitional justice because the restorative mechanisms of transitional justice either did not exist (e.g. lustrations) or were not tailored to achieve an adequate effect (e.g. reparations, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions).

The ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities signed by Romania in 2007 has generated the necessity of elaboration of the National Strategy on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2027. Among persons with disabilities, the deaf and hard of hearing people have often been the subject of legal provisions in what access to communication, information and culture is concerned. Access to television programmes is thus, regulated through a series of laws and regulations that ensure the rights of the deaf and hard of hearing people to fair acces to the content of films, documentaries, commercials, news, etc. through subtitling or other means of equivalent language. This article focuses on both linguistic aspects of rendering informational and cultural content through subtitling and legal provisions of Romanian laws on deaf and hard of hearings persons beginning with the Audiovisual Law up to present.

Since the start of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, there have been enormous efforts to conduct investigations and trials on the war crimes committed in Bosnia, leading to a large number of war crimes trials. While various scholars have discussed and evaluated the trials of the war crimes committed in Bosnia, they have done so mostly in a qualitative manner. In particular, none of the previous studies has presented a comprehensive picture of the domestic war crimes trials held in Bosnia, even though they constitute the largest share of the trials on the war crimes committed in Bosnia. In order to fill the gap in the literature, we collected the verdicts given at various levels of courts in Bosnia as well as from neighboring countries (Serbia and Croatia) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Based on the information available in the verdict, we coded key variables regarding the defendant, crime, and legal process and published the data as an online database named the War Crimes Trials Database (WCTD hereafter). This research note introduces the database and presents an overall picture of the data.

The principal aim of the present essay is to explore the relationship between international law and nationalism, whilst arguing that both concepts cannot be viewed as two separate and self-contained realities, but should rather be considered in light of their mutual interaction. The external actions of a nation are reflected internally. Similarly, its internal actions have external repercussions. In this work, such consequences are examined in a nation-state with an authoritarian structure as opposed to those found in a democratic nation-state. Additionally, the concept of nationalism is studied in its variant forms in both these contexts, leading to the premise that an aggressive and expansionist nation-state is unlikely to be guided by a constitution that places a high value on democracy and freedom. A nation which does not respect the liberties of its own nationals will undoubtedly disrespect other States and their nationals, and vice-versa. This begs the question: should internationallaw be irresponsive and neutral in these cases?
