The subject of the Sixth World Conference of Sport and Environment in Nairobi (Kenya) was "Sport, Peace and Environment". The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) were the organizers of the conference. More than 350 delegates representing about 100 different countries, IOC, International Sport Federations, National Olympic Committees, Olympic Games Organizing Committees, United Nations (UN), UNEP, and other representatives of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, specialists of international relations, scientists, the best athletes of the world, including famous runners of Kenya, took part in this conference. About 50 presentations were given. Environmental problems cause a huge headache for the whole world because of the influence for our daily life. Nowadays sport as an entertainment and physical training is integral part of our society. Actually sport influences environment in the same way as environment influences sport. IOC cannot solve such international problems as environment protection and its heritage with the help of Olympic movement and plenty of volunteers only. Considering the fact that all responsibility for environmental protection and world peace depends on authority, our input must be refilling each of mentioned aspects. Announcers have confirmed that IOC is trying to play very important role in this activity field as the main sport promoter. We can take people's fancy to the beauty of nature and inform them about environmental degradation risk through the sport. In this case global and local environment are natural partners for Olympic ideals and Olympic movement commonly. Environment is the third aspect of the Olympic world view. The resolution was adopted at the conference; all the Olympic family was invited to promote and to throw up sport and environmental problems. Sport is very good in nations integral function realization, it depolarizes different cultures, teaches to solve conflicts and contradictions in humane way and has very big educative power.

The research aims at establishing which activities or situations in maritime domain, which threaten maritime safety and / or maritime security, fall within the concept of international peace and security. Having demonstrated the validity of the international law principles that safeguard international peace and security in maritime area, the research reveals a changing list of the threats to international peace and security, which now encompasses activities and situations at sea, including terrorism, sea piracy and armed robbery against ships, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, etc. A maritime space safe from such kind of threats generally means maritime security. Thus, a great part of the threats to maritime security are or may constitute threats to international peace and security, subject to their recognition as such threats by the United Nations Security Council in its resolutions. Usually such threats also pose risk to maritime safety (safety at sea, safety of navigation, ships, crew and passengers); however, any threat to maritime safety does not necessarily endanger maritime security or amount to the threat to international peace and security.

SUMMARY Stirring international military activity has become one of the most important tasks of Lithuanian foreign policy implementation. Intensive international military collaboration and participation in peace keeping process are the main means to implement that task. The main aim of the paper is to detect geographical peculiarities of Lithuanian international military activity. It is defined that Lithuanian international military activity is reasoned not only politically, but also has a geographical validity. Bilateral and multilateral military collaboration of Lithuania clearly reveals it's priorities given to the most of the Baltic Sea region countries. Especially active cooperation in military range Lithuania holds with other Eastern Baltic countries – Latvia and Estonia. The main geographical factors of such collaboration peculiarity are: the Baltic Sea and the need of geopolitical balance. Moreover, according to Lithuania's increased activity in international peace making operations, it's very important to have a good military staff preparation system for such aims. Perhaps a combatant preparation is in a high level, but geographical preparation is insufficient. It becomes especially important when the country sends peacemakers to the geographically distant regions. Membership in NATO and other international organizations obligate Lithuania to be an active associate in peace keeping process. Lithuania was taking part in military operations that were prosecuted in four regions of Europe and Asia: The Balkans, Persian Gulf region, Caucasus and South and Central Asian region. The priority is given to the geographically closest region – The Balkans, where Lithuania have sent the biggest part of it's international peacemakers, that served in five countries of the region. Furthermore, consideration of Lithuanian activity in peace keeping process shows that the country gives priority to NATO, European Union and USA, which is the most important strategic partner of Lithuania, supervising military missions. Finally, Lithuania is participating in peace keeping operations not because of it's own national interests in the "hot" regions. It is more determined to the obligations to NATO and other international organisations and regarding to the position of strategic partners. Military and political benefit also remains as a very important factor of participating in the chosen peace keeping operations.

The paper deals with the purpose and particularity of the annual international scientific conferences "Vision of the Modern Village", organized at Šiau­liai University by Rural Development Research Centre of the Faculty of Social Sciences (Lithuania). Necessity for these conferences is determined by three main factors. First of all, understanding of the village even in academic society is extremely closely related to the agrarian sector. Even investments in the development of rural economy more often than not are evaluated as prospectless and unable to stimulate progress of science and home manufacture. Secondly, the majority of scientific discussions dedicated to rural topicalities are, as a rule, designated to sur­vey of one field of agrarian science or to one branch of rural economy, for example, animal science, husbandry, apiculture, horticulture, etc. The scientific workshops organized for analysis of rural development topics with participation of natural, social and humanitarian sciences, are recognized as rarity or exception. Thirdly, the integrated implementation of scientific and managerial innovations for the countryside (rural) economy is still hardly imaginable in the postsoviet region. Objectives of the implementation of sustainable and wellbalanced economics in the nonurbanized areas and hinterlands are still at the level of nice verbal declarations or good intentions. The differences and inequalities in economic and social development of regions become more and more evident. Social, cultural and e ven political disjunctu­re of rural population become the main obstacle to the state progress. [.]

The feature of modern world is superfluity of information therefore, it is necessary to generalize it. There are presented reports that initiated the most of discussions. The subjects do not encompass plenty of educational problems analyzed in the conference. The representatives of scientific committee stressing the increased level of conference participants, new paradigmatic thinking, problematic and critical level of reports emphasized the following problems: relevance of integration of Lithuanian higher education into general environment of the European Union and the analysis of the situation; the spread of theoretical and empirical researches of the quality of university and non-university teacher training; the problems of creating a quality system in higher education; experience of teacher training reform in Latvia, Ukraine, Croatia, Russia, the USA; the relevance of adults training; the world experience of study quality evaluation, emphasizing similarities and differences of various countries; the objective to get acquainted with various models of modern teacher training, analyzing the organization of studies, communication with students, qualification of lecturers, development and management of studies, the system of quality guarantee, achievement and evaluation of goals. Exceptional attention was paid to preschool and pre-primary education problems and possibilities to solve them. The context of European documents regulating the system of higher education (Bologna process, Lisbon Strategy, Salamanka Convention, etc.) and in the context of analysis of the Lithuanian strategic guidelines of the change of higher education, the possibilities of Lithuanian study guarantee, shifting to knowledge based economy and creative society were discussed.
