Раздел "Международные экономические отношения" ; В статье раскрывается сущность международного туризма, его роль в мировом масштабе и значение для национальных экономик отдельных стран. Рассматривается необходимость и специфика государственного управления международным туризмом на современном этапе развития мирового хозяйства. Потребность в процессе регулирования международной туристской отрасли со стороны административных органов обосновывается исходя из характерных особенностей туризма как вида экономической деятельности (сезонность, гетерогенность, статичность предложения и динамичность спроса, трудоемкость и т. д.) и основных тенденций его развития, существующих на сегодняшний день (быстрый рост отрасли, появление новых туристских регионов, повышение запросов туристов, дифференциация, индивидуализация и диверсификация туристского продукта и т. п.). Актуальность данной проблематики находит свое отражение и в необходимости обеспечения устойчивости в развитии международного туризма, что невозможно без соответствующего контроля со стороны государства. Туристская политика страны направлена на повышение привлекательности и конкурентоспособности туристского региона. Автором раскрываются теоретические аспекты данных понятий и подчеркивается принципиальная разница между ними. Конкурентоспособность рассматривается как способность туристского региона производить качественный продукт, удерживать свои позиции на международном рынке туризма и по возможности со временем расширять сферу своего влияния, не нарушая при этом принципов устойчивого развития. Привлекательность туристского региона определяется с точки зрения ее способности привлекать к себе внимание и вызывать интерес потенциальных туристов. Проанализированы факторы, определяющие конкурентоспособность туристского региона, и предложено новое представление о критериях привлекательности национального рынка для международного туризма. Делается вывод о том, что туристская политика государства должна строиться с учетом всех особенностей и качественных и количественных преобразований в сфере международного туризма в современных условиях трансформации его структуры. = The article reveals the essence of international tourism, its role on a global scale and importance for national economies of some countries. The author explores the necessity and specific features of state control of international tourism at the current stage of world economy development. The necessity in regulation of international tourism field of industry by government bodies is substantiated by characteristic features of tourism as a form of economic activity (seasonality, heterogeneity, the static character of supply and dynamic nature of demand, labour-intensiveness etc.) and current main trends of its development (the rapid growth of this field of industry, emergence of new points of destination, new requirements of tourists, differentiation, individualization and diversification of tourist product etc.). The topicality of this issue is also proved by the necessity of providing sustainability in international tourism development, which is impossible without control from the state. The tourist policy of a country is aimed at raising the attractiveness and competitiveness of the tourist region. The author reveals the theoretical aspects of these notions and emphasizes fundamental differences between them. Competitiveness is considered as capability of the point of destination to produce a high-quality tourist product, to hold its positions in the international tourist market and, if possible, to expand the sphere of its influence without violating the principles of sustainable development. Attractiveness of the point of destination is determined by its ability to attract attention and be of interest to potential tourists. The author also gave the analysis of the factors determining competitiveness of a tourist region and offered a new conception of the criteria of attractiveness of a national market for the international tourism. The author made a conclusion that tourist policy of a state should include all particular features and take into consideration qualitative and quantitative changes in the international tourism sphere in the modern conditions of transformation of its structure.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное гуманитарное право" ; В статье на основе анализа Конвенций, ключевыми из которых, по мнению автора, являются Гаагская конвенция о защите культурных ценностей 1954 г. и Конвенция об охране культурного и природного наследия 1972 г., выявляются критерии выделения всемирного культурного наследия из общей категории культурных ценностей, исследуется механизм защиты всемирного культурного наследия как в мирное время, так и в ходе вооруженных конфликтов. Автор акцентирует внимание на вопросе эффективности механизма защиты и приходит к выводу, что он не создает надежных гарантий охраны всемирного культурного наследия в период вооруженных конфликтов. В качестве недостатков конвенционного механизма автор указывает: легализацию ссылки на крайнюю военную необходимость, хотя и в исключительных случаях, которую можно квалифицировать как репрессалии, запрещенные к применению воюющими сторонами в международном гуманитарном праве; недостаточную урегулированность вопроса об ответственности государств за нарушение положений Конвенции и Протокола; ограниченную сферу действия Гаагской конвенции и II Протокола к ней, не применяющихся в случае беспорядков, бунтов, мятежей, хотя именно в таких ситуациях опасность уничтожения или разграбления всемирного культурного наследия очень велика. = The article relies on the analysis of Conventions, the key ones , according to the author, being the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property and the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage so as to single out the criteria for identifying the world cultural values within the general category of cultural values. The article also explores the mechanisms of cultural heritage protection, both in the peaceful times and during military conflicts. The author focuses on the issue of the effectiveness of the protection mechanism and comes to the conclusion those it does not provide secure guarantees of the world cultural values protection during military conflicts. The following drawbacks of the protection mechanisms are pointed out: legalization of the reference to overriding military emergency, which, though used in extraordinary cases, can still be qualified as repressions banned for use by the conflicting parties; insufficient regulation of the states' responsibility for the breach of the provisions of the Convention and the Protocol; the limits on the effect of the Hague Convention and its Protocol II which are not applied in case of riots and civic disorder though it is in the times like those that the threat of destruction and looting of the world cultural heritage is particularly high.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное частное право" ; Статья посвящена рассмотрению вопроса о том, какие обстоятельства определяют международный характер договора факторинга. На основании изучения белорусского законодательства, международных правовых актов, трудов отечественных и зарубежных ученых автор приходит к следующим выводам. В мировой практике не сложился единый подход к определению того, какие критерии наделяют договор факторинга международным характером. Как правило, выделяют исчерпывающий перечень таких критериев (Банковский кодекс Республики Беларусь, Конвенция УНИДРУА о международном факторинге 1988 г., Конвенция Организации Объединенных Наций об уступке дебиторской задолженности в международной торговле 2001 г.). По мнению автора статьи, существующие подходы к определению критериев международного характера договора факторинга нельзя признать оптимальными. Ввиду того, что договор факторинга всегда затрагивает интересы, как минимум, трех субъектов (кредитора, фактора и должника), которые могут иметь различную национальную принадлежность, а также принимая во внимание вариативность международных хозяйственных отношений и их постоянную эволюцию, при выделении критериев, определяющих международных характер гражданско-правового договора, в том числе и договора факторинга, нельзя сводить их к конкретно заданному исчерпывающему перечню. В этой связи автор признает целесообразность подхода, закрепленного в Межамериканской конвенции о праве, применимом к международным контрактам (1994 г.), где под международным контрактом контракт, стороны которого имеют обычное место жительства или коммерческие предприятия в различных договаривающихся государствах, или контракт, имеющий объективную связь более чем с одним договаривающимся государством. По мнению автора статьи, этот подход вполне соответствует отечественной доктрине о предмете международного частного права. В заключение сделана попытка сформулировать собственное определение договора международного факторинга, которое, по мнению автора, охватывает все возможные случаи проявления международного характера рассматриваемого договора. = The article deals with the issue of the circumstances which determine the international nature of a treaty on factoring. After the study of Belarusian legislation, international legal instruments and the research of national and foreign academics the author came to the conclusions that follow below. No single approach has emerged in the practice across the world as to the criteria which provide a treaty with international character. As a rule, comprehensive lists of these factors are compliled, such as the Banking Code of the Republic of Belarus, the 1988 UNIDROIT Convention on International Factoring, the UN Convention on the Assignment of Receivables in International Trade. According to the author the existing approaches to determining the criteria of the international nature of a treaty on factoring can hardly be considered efficient. In view of the fact that a treaty on factoring always involves the interests of at least three subjects (the creditor, the factor and the debtor) who can have different national allegiance and also considering the variability of the international economic relations and their constant evolution it is not advised to limit the criteria which define the international character of a civil law treaty including treaties on factoring to some specific comprehensive list. In this respect the author recognizes the expediency of the approach fixed in the 1994 Inter-American Convention on the Law Applicable to the International Contracts (1994) where an international contract is regarded to be a contract the parties of which have permanent residence or commercial enterprises in different states which agree on the contract, or a contract which is objectively connected with more than one state-parties to the agreement. In the author's opinion, this approach corresponds to the national doctrine on the subject of international private law. In conclusion the author makes an attempt to formulate her own definition of a treaty on international factoring which covers all possible cases of manifestation of the international nature in question.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное гуманитарное право" ; В статье рассматриваются юридические проблемы, связанные с перемещением в конце Второй мировой войны культурных ценностей из Германии в бывший СССР. Автор анализирует новую форму международно-правовой ответственности — компенсаторную реституцию, содержащуюся в Федеральном законе Российской Федерации «О культурных ценностях, перемещенных в Союз ССР в результате Второй мировой войны и находящихся на территории Российской Федерации», принятом 15 апреля 1998 г. На основе анализа международных актов, устанавливающих международно-правовую ответственность государств, автор делает вывод о неправомерности установления национальным государственным актом новой формы международно-правовой ответственности — компенсаторной реституции, как это сделал российский законодатель в Федеральном законе 1998 г. Общий вывод: перемещенные культурные ценности, по поводу которых ведется спор между Германией и Россией, должны быть возвращены в международный культурный оборот. = The article considers the juridical problems, connected with the transference of the cultural valuables from Germany to the former USSR at the end of the Second World War. The author analyses a new form of the international-legal responsibility — «compensatory restitution», which is contained in the Federal law of the Russian Federation, adopted on April 15, 1998: «On the cultural valuables, which were transferred to the USSR as a result of the Second World War, and which currently are on the territory of the Russian Federation». On the basis of the analysis of the international acts establishing the international legal responsibility of the states, the author comes to the conclusion about the unlawfulness of the establishment by a national state act of a new form of the international legal responsibility «compensatory restitution», as it was done by the Russian legislator in the Federal law of the Russian Federation from 1998. The general conclusion is: the transferred cultural valuables which are the subject of Germany and Russia legal dispute should be returned and put into international cultural circulation.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное частное право" ; Статья посвящена рассмотрению такого вопроса, как коллизионный способ регулирования договора международного факторинга в Республике Беларусь. На основании изучения отечественной и зарубежной доктрины и правоприменительной практики автор приходит к следующим выводам. Рассматривая вопрос о правовом регулировании договора международного факторинга на международном уровне, автор указывает на то, что в силу ряда причин его нельзя признать эффективным, особенно применительно к факторинговым отношениям с участием белорусских субъектов хозяйствования. Вследствие этого единственным способом регулирования международных факторинговых отношений в Республике Беларусь является коллизионный способ на основе национальных коллизионных норм. Автор отмечает, что в том случае, если стороны не договорились об ином, к договору факторинга подлежит применению право страны, где фактор (как сторона, чье исполнение имеет существенное значение) имеет основное место деятельности. В статье предлагается закрепить дифференцированный подход к определению права, подлежащего применению к отношениям между фактором и кредитором и отношениям, складывающимся между фактором и должником. В заключение автор обращает внимание на то, что законодательство Республики Беларусь, регулирующее договор международного факторинга, не является совершенным и требует приведения в соответствие с мировой практикой и потребностями хозяйственного оборота. = The article deals with the question of conflict rules that regulate an international factoring contract in the Republic of Belarus. After studying native and foreign doctrine and law-enforcement practice the author comes to the following conclusions. While considering the question of legal regulation of an international factoring contract on the international level the author points that because of several reasons it is impossible to regard it as effective especially in respect factoring relations with participation of Belarusian entrepreneurs. As a result of that fact the only way to regulate international factoring relations in the Republic of Belarus is regulation by means of national conflict rules. The author emphasizes that unless the parties agreed different, the law of the country where the factor (as a party whose performance has vital importance) is based should be applied to a factoring contract. The article suggests fixing a different approach to determine a law which is applicable to the relations between the factor and the creditor and a law which is applicable to the relations between the factor and the debtor. In summary the author draws attention to the fact that the legislation of the Republic of Belarus that regulates the international factoring contract is not perfect and is to be brought into line with the world practice and needs of economic circulation.

Раздел - "Международное право" ; The present paper considers some issues of regulating of a quite complex legal institution, that of multiple nationality. Currently, European integration in general and the phenomenon of multiple nationality in particular are arousing a lot of interest. This is caused to a large extent b y both the relative stability of economic and political guarantees of rights and liberties of the citizens of Western Europe and by the search of Eastern European countries for their place and their road in the united Europe, b y the necessity to overcome cultural and economic disunity of European states and also b y the unabated interest in the structural elements of diverse and variously speeded integration in this region. In this regard the institution of multiple nationality stands out against the background of all-European integration. It has been in existence in this region for many millenia and embraces practically all states of the continent. Multiplenationality creates at the same time both real possibilities and prerequisites for integration and real problems, causing sometimes protracted conflicts between states and peoples and separating their political interests. The author sees multiple nationality to be a complex legal state expressed through a complicated legal relationship, which lends form to a multistructured social political, economic, cultural and moral relationship between states (representations of citizenship/nationality) and the person as regards responsible possession by a person of the complete or the basic set of rights and duties of nationality equal to the persons of his/her category of nationality in more than one state formation. With this assumption the paper shows in general terms the causes for the emergence of multiple nationality and the ways of settling its problems. The citizenship of the European Union, which the author refers to a kind of multiple nationality, is a particular legal institution which could serve as a source for forming all-European and global citizenship. Alongside with the study of the citizenship of the European Union the paper considers the institution of multiple nationality within the framework of the Council of Europe. The European region has accumulated abundant experience of regulating multiple nationality; part of which experience was embodied in the provisions of various international treaties concluded by the member-states of the Council of Europe. It would be effective to use in the countries of Eastern Europe and Asia. The European Convention on Nationality from November 6, 1997 was a progressive step in the realm of developing nationality and multiple nationality, though it has a number of drawbacks and as a whole does not adequately take into consideration the existing needs in this sphere. A number of norms, for instance, the right of the state to terminate citizenship, declared in article 7 and other provisions of the Convention have not been specified. The drawbacks of legal regulation of these issues and the issues of state succession and nationality (article 16) arouse doubts in the compliance of provisions of the abovementioned convention with the requirements of articles 15 and 29 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Unfortunately, the European Convention on Nationality is trying to unite disparate points of v i ew into one, there arising as a result some apprehension as to the possibility of its arbitrary application. The citizenship, being established within the framework of integration of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, is also a peculiar institution which could be transformed into a different type of citizenship. The author considers that reasonable application of the institution of multiple nationality could facilitate the solution of a number of problems of contemporary international law, including the problems of international cooperation, human rights protection and development of integrational process. This experience could be promoted b y all states and especially the former USSR countries who have various directions of solving the issues of multiple nationality.

Раздел "Международные отношения" ; The Macedonia problem is shown to be the principal aspect of the growing diplomatic fight for political mastery on the Balkan peninsula. The events are analysed against a wide historical background and are considered within Yugoslav-Bulgarian-Greek territorial dispute, mainly due to Macedonia having its own history.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Вопросы миграции и беженцев" ; Failing to find legal channels mass migration in a number of cases has started to use illegal ones. The current increase in these activities is closely connected with the formation and functioning of organized criminal groups for the transportation of migrants from the third countries. Illegal migration should be considered as a global issue concerning all states and constitutes a threat to the global community. Experience worldwide has shown that in the majority of countries suffering from migration pressure migration rates exceed the states' potential to regulate the migration processes and to cope with their consequences. The author notes that what is most urgent today is to address the issue of the development of international norms to expand the legal basis for international organizations to control the observance by the states of the universal norms and standards in the sphere of migration as well as the adoption of sanctions to be imposed on those states which ignore international legal norms and conduct a policy that is likely aggravate the migration situation in their region. The author considers the issues of combatting illegal migration and discusses ways of raising efficiency of the measures undertaken to combat migration within the European community. Similarly, the author throws light on the cooperation of the Republic of Belarus with many European countries and international organisations operating in Europe. Western European countries strive to involve Belarus in a wider context in the control of migration processes since the country plays one of the key roles in the solution of the migration problems in the European region due to its geopolitical location (especially with regard to the recent expansion of the EU). The article explores the system of international legislation defining principles and basic mechanisms of combatting illegal migration, the cross-border cooperation in this field; it reveals new trends in migration policy, describes the drawbacks of the practice of tightening migration control and the side effects of such measures in an form in the increase of the number of asylum-seekers and of other migrants to some countries along with their decrease in others, a development that leads to an extreme aggravation of the migration situation in the region on the whole. These processes are tied with the dynamics of illegal migration. The article discusses the issue of further improvement and development of the international legal base of international cooperation to regulate and combat migration in its legal forms, to work out of a single strategy that combines approaches for the control of migration processes, to counteract negative phenomena, to adopt legislation and create to ensure that the rights of migrants' are observed and protected.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Права человека" ; В статье анализируется вклад БССР в международный нормотворческий процесс в области защиты прав женщин. Будучи полноправным членом Организации Объединенных Наций, Белорусская ССР внесла определенный вклад в развитие принципа равноправия на международном уровне (в том числе и по признаку пола). Принцип равноправия стал одним из основополагающих принципов ООН. Белорусская делегация принимала активное участие в разработке Всеобщей декларации прав человека, выдвигая конструктивные предложения, улучшающие содержание ее проекта. Всеобщая декларация прав человека послужила платформой, на основе которой стали разрабатываться международные договоры, предусматривающие специальные нормы, регламентирующие права женщин как определенной социальной группы. Кроме того, БССР, являясь на протяжении длительного времени членом Комиссии по положению женщин, участвовала в разработке большей части специальных международных соглашений по правам женщин, таких как Конвенция о политических правах женщин, Конвенция о гражданстве замужней женщины, Конвенция о согласии на вступление в брак, брачном возрасте и регистрации браков. Благодаря продвижению делегациями БССР антидискриминационных принципов в области регулирования вопросов равноправия мужчин и женщин, конвенции установили универсальные стандарты отношения государственной власти к женщине, а их нормы стали базовыми при толковании национального законодательства. ; The article explores the contribution of the BSSR to international rule-making process in the sphere of women rights protection. A UN's full member, the BSSR made a certain contribution to the development of the principle of equality, including gender equality, on the international level. That was the beginning of forming of the institution of women rights protection in the system of international human rights protection. The principle of equality has become one of the basic principles of the United Nations. Belarusian delegation took an active part in the development of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, making constructive proposals on improving the content of Declaration' draft. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights became the foundation for further international treaties, which included specific regulations on women's rights. Besides, a member of the Commission on the Status of Women for a long time, the BSSR participated in developing of the major part of special international treaties, such as Convention on the Political Rights of Women, Convention on the Nationality of Married Women, Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registration of Marriages and other, in the sphere of women's rights. Thanks to Belarusian delegation's efforts in elimination of discrimination in gender equality regulation, the Conventions set universal standards of state authorities attitude towards women. Nowadays these standards are grounds for interpretation of national legislation.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное частное право" ; В статье раскрываются понятия «электронная торговля» и «электронные средства связи» с использованием законодательства Республики Беларусь и актов международного права. При осуществлении электронной торговли электронная сделка может заключаться путем оформления электронных документов или путем обмена ими. Электронный документ подписывается с использованием средств электронной подписи или иных ее аналогов. Для передачи и обработки данных по каналам электронной связи используется программно-техническое оборудование. В том случае, если одной из сторон внешнеэкономической сделки, заключаемой в сети Интернет, является резидент Республики Беларусь, такая сделка может быть заключена только в письменной форме. Заключение договора посредством электронной связи приравнивается к письменной форме сделки. В том случае, если по законодательству сторон договора разрешена устная форма договора, при заключении договора с использованием сети Интернет будет иметь место письменная форма сделки, так заключение договора посредством электронной связи приравнивается к такой форме сделки. = In the present article the notions of «e-commerce» and «e-communication facilities» are explained with reference to the legislation of the Republic of Belarus and the acts of international law are used. During e-commerce realization, the e-deal can be concluded via designing an e-document or via an exchange of e-documents. An e-document is signed with the help of an electronic signature or its analogues. For transferring and processing the data by electronic communication channels the program-technical equipment is used. In case one of the parties of an external economic deal, concluded in the Internet, is the resident of the Republic of Belarus, such deal can be concluded only in the written form. Concluding a contract via electronic communication facilities is equated with the written form of a deal. Even in case the legislation of the parties of the contract allows oral forms of contracts, while concluding a contract with the help of the Internet the written form of the deal will take place, as concluding a contract via electronic communication facilities is equated with the written form of a deal.

Раздел "Международные экономические отношения" ; Оценивая международную торговлю, можно определить, что ее рост относительно незначителен и составляет около 1 % от роста ВВП. Однако очевидно ее положительное влияние на экономический рост. Насколько велики эффекты экономического роста? Отечественная и зарубежная литература по международной торговле подчеркивает статистическую, но не экономическую зависимость отношения «международная торговля — экономический рост». Использование инструментов мета-анализа взаимосвязи международной торговли и экономического роста страны позволило преодолеть проблему снижения доверительных статистических интервалов с минимальными размерами выборки. Определено влияние показателей внешнеторгового оборота, обменного курса, уровня неграмотности, индекса уровня среднего образования, индекса развития человеческого потенциала, уровня безработицы, государственных расходов в (% к ВВП), индекса R&D на экономический рост с учетом либерализации торговли. Получен ответ на главный вопрос: является ли свободная торговля гарантией экономического роста. Эмпирически доказано, что новые развивающиеся страны с показателями роста экспорта в 12 % в год или более смогут демонстрировать темпы роста ВВП примерно на 2,5 % в среднем быстрее, чем промышленно-развитые страны. = The estimated welfare gains from international trade are small enough, on the order of one percent of GDP. However, under free trade, their positive impact on economic growth is obvious. But as to the size of these effects, national and foreign literature on international trade has emphasized the statistical significance, not the economic significance, of the international trade-growth relationship. Using the instruments of meta-analysis of the international trade-growth relationship has enabled the authors to overcome the problem of credibility with a minimal sample sizes. The influence of such indicators as foreign trade, the exchange rate, the illiteracy rate, secondary education level, human development index, unemployment, government spending in % of GDP, R&D index on economic growth are defined in relation to trade liberalization. The research has answered the main question, whether free trade guarantees economic growth. It is empirically proven, that the developing countries with the growth rates of exports up to 12 % or more per year will be able to demonstrate an average GDP growth rate of about 2.5 % quicker than the developed industrial countries.

Раздел "Международное право" - рубрика "Международное транспортное право" ; Статья посвящена обоснованию существования в международном транспортном и таможенном праве такого отраслевого принципа права, как принцип свободы транзита. В статье осуществлен системный теоретико-практический анализ существующей международной нормативно-правовой базы в сфере международного таможенного и транспортного права, рассмотрены и охарактеризованы основополагающие конвенции и соглашения в исследуемой области. В первую очередь, рассмотрено закрепление принципа свободы транзита на универсальном уровне. В частности, исследованы положения Генерального соглашения по тарифам и торговле, а также ряда международно-правовых актов, в которых закреплен указанный принцип. Кроме того, освещено развитие принципа свободы транзита на региональном уровне в рамках Содружества Независимых Государств. Проанализированы положения основных региональных соглашений, регулирующих транзитное перемещение товаров, в контексте их соответствия рассматриваемому принципу. Значительное внимание уделено автором всестороннему исследованию развития правового регулирования транзита в Республике Беларусь — основополагающим этапам, целям и инструментам. Проанализирована степень имплементации принципа свободы транзита в национальном законодательстве Республики Беларусь. = The article identifies the grounds for the principle of transit freedom existence in a branch of international transport and customs law. The author presents a systemic theoretical and practical analysis of the existing normative legal basis in international customs and transport law, Considers and characterizes the fundamental conventions and agreements in this field. Priority is given to the universal fixation of the transit freedom principle. In particular, the provisions of the GATT are analyzed as well as those of a number of international legal acts, fixing the above-mentioned principle.
