To reveal the causes, significance and outcomes of migration of the labor force. 3. To establish the extent of mobility of the citizens of the Republic of Lithuania within Lithuania based on the data from the Department of Statistics to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania and Lithuanian Free Market Institute. 4. To perform a questionnaire survey of the heads of the respondent Lithuanian companies, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the received data. The object of the research is Lithuanian labor market and international migration of labor force, which has influence upon Lithuanian labor market. Period of research is from 2001 to 2006. When preparing this final paper the following methods of investigation of economic phenomena were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison and summarizing of scientific literature, investigating migration of labor market, the causes and outcomes thereof; survey of Lithuanian companies, qualitative and quantitative analysis, graphical visualization and other methods of investigation of economic and social phenomena. When analyzing the collected material it was established, that the international migration of labor force has both positive and negative influence upon Lithuanian labor market. Due to the increase of emigration, the unemployment rate in the country decreased and in some spheres a lack of labor force was even felt. Such situation in labor market promoted immigration of labor force to the country, which in the nearest future can have negative influence upon the average level of wages.

This master thesis is devoted to analyzing and comparing Community, national and international systems of trade mark registration and their interrelation, revealing the substantial opportunities they provide for the proprietors of registered trade marks. First of all, historically the earliest national trade mark registration system is being studied in the thesis following the law of the Republic of Lithuania, distinguishing those issues, regulation of which is substantially different in the other EU member states, e. g. the examination procedure of the applied mark. Further the international system of trade mark registration (the Madrid system) is being analyzed: the distinctions and relation of the treaties regulating this system, the features of registration procedure and its consequences, the international registration dependency on the national one and the possibility of converting and transforming the registration are analyzed. Essential features of the operation of the Community trade mark system, its relation with national and international systems are being analyzed in the thesis; special attention has been paid to conversion and seniority analysis as well as the matters of solving national and Community trade mark conflicts related to the enlargement of European Union. In the last part of the thesis the factors which can determine the choice of a registration system (registration costs, territory in which protection is sought and may be obtained, other important features of the system) are summed-up and briefly reported.

Current debates on conscientious objection to military service reveal a conflict between conscription and individual freedom of conscience; they question the scope of human rights and liberties as well as raise an issue of their extension. The majority of member states of UN and CoE officially recognize a right to conscientious objection. However, the flow of complaints to international human rights monitoring bodies demonstrates absence of a general consensus on the concept, origin and legal status of this human right. The paper aims to examine, whether and how the right to conscientious objection to military service has a link with fundamental human rights in the main international human rights instruments. Human rights documents of UN and CoE – two international organizations, most relevant for the development of human rights standards – were chosen as the object of research. The scope of analysis is limited to recommendatory documents of UN CHR, PACE and Committee of Ministers of the CoE, the case-law of ECtHR under ECHR as well as the case-law of UN HRC under ICCPR. Results of research show that in the recommendatory documents of UN and CoE institutions the right to conscientious objection to military service is derived from the fundamental right – the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, embedded in Article 18 of ICCPR and Article 9 of ECHR respectively. However, the case-law of UN and CoE institutions is ambivalent in these terms. After a long-term disavowal of the considered right with regard to ICCPR, in 1993 UN HRC explicated that this right can be derived from the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion (General Comment No. 22: Article 18 of the ICCPR). Meanwhile, ECtHR (The Commission) does not recognize the right to conscientious objection to military service under ECHR. However, both UN HRC and ECtHR (The Commission) recognize legal consideration of complaints on the violation of the right to such conscientious objection in terms of discrimination. Till January 2007, Article 4 ECHR and Article 8 of ICCPR respectively were regarded to be the only obstacle to originate the right to conscientious objection in the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in the case-law of UN HRC and ECtHR. According to these institutions, recognition of the right of conscientious objection fell within the jurisdiction of the contracting State Party under these articles. Nevertheless, the January 2007 Communication of UN HRC disavowed the significance of Article 8 of ICCPR and, on the grounds of Article 18, set a task to contracting State Parties to justify non-recognition or restrictions of the right to conscientious objection as well as prove the damage done to the State by the implementation of the right under consideration. A ground-breaking position of UN HRC can be explained by recommendatory character of the decisions, and legal obligatory nature of ECtHR decisions determines a more conservative stance of the latter institution. Notwithstanding, the lately practice of UN HRC demonstrates that this institution claims to embody a driver of international legal recognition of the right to conscientious objection.

The topic of the paper is the principle of self-determination of peoples in international law and the limits of its implementation. The aim of the paper is to analyze and evaluate theoretical and practical aspects of regulation and implementation of the principle of self-determination of peoples. In the first part of the paper we examine the evolution of the principle in international law. The origin of the principle of self-determination of peoples is connected with the American and French revolutions in late XVIII century and the idea that government derives from the will of people. After the First World War the principle became the ideal of USA president Woodrow Wilson and it was used in redrawing the map of Europe, its practical application was inconsistent though. Since the dismemberment of European empires and the creation of the new national states were based on economic interests, historical claims and strategic calculations we can think of the principle of self-determination of peoples till the Second World War as the political declaration only. The principle of self-determination of peoples got the status of the right of international law under the regime of United Nations in the context of decolonization. Though the formulation of the principle in the Charter of United Nations is abstract, its content is clarified by the resolutions of the General Assembly. The scope of the principle was revised after the Cold War. It became obviously that the right of self-determination overstep the limits of decolonization and the questions about the holders of the right and the right of unilateral secession were raised. In the second part of the paper we analyze the scope of the principle of self-determination of peoples. The principle can be divided into "internal" and "external" self-determination. The former means the right of people to determine its political and economical regime. Civil and political rights claimed by international instruments are the guarantees of the "internal" self-determination. The "external" self-determination means the right of the people to determine its international status and is connected with the problem of the claim to secede. The right of secession does not exist in the instruments of international law, but it is not forbidden either. That is why in some cases it can be justified. The restriction of the right of self-determination is directly connected with the principle of territorial integrity. "External" self-determination, which influences the boundaries of a territory, does not contradict the principle of the territorial integrity if it is implemented by the people, which is the holder of the right of self-determination. In the context of the principle of self-determination a people means an entire population of particular territorial union. It is questionable whether the recognition of the right to unilateral secession would eliminate the ethnic conflicts; the respect to human rights and the preservation of identity of peoples should be a key to the future peace of multinational states.

Judicial Peculiarities of the Collective Labour Disputes Resolution: International Regulation, Experience of Foreign Countries and Future Perspectives in Lithuania. In this task are analysed judicial peculiarities of the collective labour disputes resolution in international regulation of law rules, these disputes judicial resolution of foreign countries and future perspectives of this institute in Lithuania. Judicial procedure of solving this kind of labour disputes is applying effectively for a long time in a lot of foreign countries while the rules of Lithuanian law are not directly talk about this institute. The rules of law talking about it are equivocal and abstruse.There aren't a lot of collective labour disputes, in other words, they are unpopular in Lithuania, because the collective labour relations are undeveloped, weak and have no deep traditions in the country. It was noted, that principles of social partnership and tripartite cooperation are the main talking about regulation of collective labour relations and solving collective labour disputes arising of that.The analysis of international and European Union rules of law showed that there are not directly fixed any special rules of law regulated judicial peculiarities of the collective labour disputes resolution. Each country have the right to decide which institution or what procedure will be applied to solve this kind of labour disputes. The main request is the workers rights should really be protected and defended. Development of collective labour disputes resolution in Lithuania should follow the western practices and realisation of basic principles such as reconciliation of parties and striving to compromise. Consequently, it is suggested to set by law criteria allowing to distinguish collective labour disputes arising because of violation of interests from those arising from violation of rights. Besides, to start solving collective labour disputes arising of violation of rights in general competence courts and to think to introduce independent specialised system of labour courts in the future in Lithuania.
