Doctoral dissertation \"Succession of States, Illegal Territorial Changes and Nationality of Natural Persons\" focuses on a complex analysis of citizenship in the context of legal and illegal territorial jurisdictional changes. General questions related to succession of states (concept and scope, date of succession, difference between succession of states and continuity of states, as well as the position of continuator state in the context of succession of states) having impact upon the nationality of natural persons are analysed. While discussing on theoretical questions of international legal regulation of nationality in relation to succession of states, certain newest practice of states (namely that of XXI century) is analysed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of such regulation. Practice of Lithuania and other Baltic States and relevant legislation of Russian Federation in relation to regulating nationality issues after collapse of the USSR is also addressed. The issue of continuous nationality as one of the main criteria of diplomatic protection is addressed in the context of succession of states. The doctoral dissertation also covers problematic of nationality in the context of states lacking universal recognition (Kosovo) and illegal territorial changes (cases of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea and Sevastopol). Focus is also made on the issue of persons' will in attribution of nationality in the context of territorial changes.

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.
The paper aims to analyse various aspects of interdependence between the nationality and the citizenship of the residents of Klaipeda region by restricting the analysis to the political and economic factors of the 20th с The analysis was carried out on the basis of little known archival materials. The article seeks to prove that nationality and citizenship, as the principal forms of the identity expression, have not always been a matter of free self-determination; they would frequently change depending on the external political and ideological pressure.

The article examines the value of nationality of the foreign investor under the foreign investment protection in disputes arose with the state-recipient of investment. Analyzes the sources of international public and private law, arbitration practice, where the question arose about the nationality of the foreign investor and were significant and influenced the outcome in a dispute, the criteria for determining the nationality of a legal person. The author was given your answer to the question of who is entitled to claim the protection of the recipient state, bilateral investment agreements have used the criteria developed private international law to determine the nationality of a legal entity. The nationality of a legal entity - a concept, which is conditional and does not coincide with the category of nationality for natural persons. In fact, it indicates the identity of the organization to a particular state. In private international law the nationality of a legal entity also points to his personal law (lex societatis), which determines the legal status of this entity, however, for the purposes of bilateral investment treaties, determining the personal law of a legal entity does not have such a significant value that will be illustrated later. Recently there has been a tendency for the requirement of nationality of an investor is treated by the persons acting as arbitrators in investment arbitrations, by extension, as something that required the arbitral Tribunal to confirm its jurisdiction. The modern practice of international investment relations suggests that investors actively use provided by international treaties of the possibility of treatment of claims in arbitration to the States. In response, the state formed the line of defense, one means of which is the interpretation of concluded international treaties on the protection and promotion of investments. Thus, in a restrictive interpretation of the rights of the investor under an international Treaty, in some cases, may be interested not only the state defendant in a particular case, but the state of nationality of the investor. The latter may elect specified position as a potential state defendant in similar lawsuits or even in connection with the unwillingness to worsen political relations with the Respondent state in a particular disputed case. ; У статті досліджено значення національності іноземного інвестора для захисту іноземних інвестицій під час спорів із державою-реци-пієнтом інвестицій.

The work was made by Irma Kruckaite, Political sociology master's degree student of VPU Social sciences faculty Sociology and political sciences department. The subject of the work is young attitude towards national identity as a value and its conservation opportunities of globalization (Druskininkai town case). The director of the work is Dr. V. Senkus. The work size is 60 pages. The aim of work: explore what young people view about nationalism like value, what are the main factors affecting the formation of such an approach. For this purpose there were tasks raised: • Summarize the theoretical aspects of the concept of values. • An overview of the various sociological authors' interpretations about nationality. • To analyze the challenges of globalization for nationality. • Based on research results to establish how nationality is expressed and its preservation ways. Hypotheses of the research: 1. Nationality for young people today, is not a priority value – was proved. Young people understand what is nationality, but the general answer is perception that young people represent not emigration if feel safe in Lithuania. Young people need motivation, that nationality wasn't a burden but an asset to be transferred to their future generations. Nationality invaded the consciousness of people, the recovery of Lithuania's independence in 1990. But now it has spread dangerously overshadow people's material poverty, social vulnerability. Young people are a passive observer; they have simply run out of determination, as each election, promising a better life remains just promises. The talented youth gather foreign universities and to a career high in Lithuania. Frequent claims gladly stay at home. Unfortunately, our country is unable to detain them. 2. Youth opinion preservation of national identity is linked with wellbeing rise – was proved. Thus one can assume that those who can afford just to live people are concerned about the spirit of much less than affluent people. Responses felt that young families and young people today not emigration if feel safe in Lithuania. Based on data of Statistic Department for 2010 January – September emigrated 67.7 thousand countries population is 51.4 thousand more than last year same period. The main reason for this increase - immigrants to legalize their desire for the departure of the Republic of Lithuania Law on Health Insurance obligations lay down in permanent residents of the country to pay the mandatory health insurance premiums. The main purpose of immigration - work. 2009 more than 85 percent of the emigrants went to work abroad (2008 - 70 percent). Young people need motivation, that nationality wasn't a burden but an asset to be able to transfer their future generations. 3. Effective ways of promoting nationality is the psychological and economic. – was proved. It can be assumed that Lithuania, in particular, should ensure its citizens material well-being, to protect the rights of citizens, only to build a mature society cherishing national identity as an asset. The work consists of an introduction, theoretical part, which considers: the concept of values, judgments and interpretations of nationality and the challenges of globalization. The practical part presents a research and data analysis. Then there are represented final conclusions, a summary and the list of literature. In summary the theoretical part, globalization significantly changes the whole social context in structuring the personality, beliefs and values scale. On a global cultural universality is the possible merger into a single structure with specific tolerance individuality, diversity and other humanitarian values, to form a democratic political system. Collaborate and ethnic identity of the other one works, but does not eliminate far. National survival, they become the guarantor of the continuity of traditional ethnic culture is not alone, but by the state. It is the state's strength. It follows that it is the national character is the key link between the nation states. Therefore, we note that the community is based on nationalism. Nation history and people of self-concept and collective identity this is foundation of the nation cultural. Supranational integration into the structures, it is necessary to preserve and promote national culture, because this is only way to preserve national unity. It was formed by culture and fostering national and emotional ties connecting the community and the spiritual basis of life. Therefore, the state must maintain order, to enable citizens to prosperity, to ensure their safety, freedoms and rights. Thus, people of all age's qualitative interviews showed that nationality is perceived as the love of homeland, the Lithuanian language, culture and traditions. Nationality associated with the history of Lithuania and is closely associated with patriotism. Many of the respondents expressed concern about the future of nationality values in globalization situation. Worry about the displacement of the Lithuanian language, because this is one of the most important components of nationality. Interviews revealed the optimistic views of the Lithuanian national identity perspective. The Lithuanians are scattered around the world made available to other nations, to know where Lithuania is. However, it is noted that many respondents believe that as nationality like a values depends on the welfare state. Most of the respondents have a responsibility put to the government. How much less promising put citizens in public organizations. The prevailing opinion is that the state must take care of the nation in economic and spiritual well-being, secure environment, while motivate young people and their children proud of their country.

Topic of the thesis − Native Language as a Priority for Preserving National Identity (Insights of Three Generations). Relevance and problem of the topic. Native language is one of the most important links of continuity of national identity. It is not only high-sounding words but also life experience, source of national spirit, peculiarity and sense of belonging to the same linguistic community, which, while gradually turning into personal conviction, becomes an essential part of national, moral and cultural identity. The role of language is exceptional. It is hard to find any other element as important as the language itself, bringing all members of the national and political community into a single whole. The goal of the thesis − to examine national priorities of three generations; by means of comparative analysis, reveal the role of the native (Lithuanian) language in pursuit of preserving and strengthening Lithuanian national identity. Therefore, the Master's thesis will address national identity and its relationship with the native language. Objectives of the thesis: 1. To analyse the elements reflecting Lithuanian national identity (Lithuanianhood), their expression and change in our society. 2. To reveal the possibilities for preserving Lithuanian national identity in the process of global integration. 3. To examine the relationship between native language and national identity; to define the Lithuanian language as an inherent feature of Lithuanianhood. 4. To explore linguistic principles and problems of self-identification in the face of globalisation. 5. To analyse the role of Lithuanian nationality, Lithuanianhood and the Lithuanian language as a system of moral values in the development of personal values. 6. To carry out a qualitative research in order to find out how three generations evaluate their native Lithuanian language as the main factor for preserving national identity. Methods of the thesis: 1. Documentary analysis (scientific, publicistic literature). 2. Interview. Proposition defended in the thesis. Native Lithuanian language is the main factor shaping Lithuanian national identity. Other factors are also important (geographical location, citizenship, history of Lithuania, participation in Lithuania's political life, upbringing) but their role is only secondary. The main reason determining the decline and fall of the Lithuanian nation is denationalization, loss of language and customs. The main reasons determining the survival of the Lithuanian nation are the ability to preserve nationality; it also covers the facts of the history of Lithuania and the unity of the Lithuanian nation. Theoretical basis of research. Lithuania's presence in the world unfolds itself by a specific language expressing a peculiar public spirit, historicity and culture of the knowledge of the world. Language plays an exceptional role. It would be hard to find any other element as important as the language itself, drawing all members of the national and political community together. After all, the closeness of language inevitably reveals at both personal and community level. It is a certain guarantor of our psychological security: it is a fellow country-man's feeling arising out of belonging to the same linguistic community, which are always a nation and most commonly a state. Main conclusions: 1. The analysis of theoretical material leads to the conclusion that there is a close relationship between national identity and native Lithuanian language. Once the native language is lost, the main factor for preserving national identity is lost as well. 2. The research tried to answer whether the Lithuanian language is a means of communication, a system of symbols or a part of individual identity. The study determined that it is a part of national identity for most of the informants, only a youth group find it more like a means of communication, even though this group of the informants does not deny language as the expression of identity. It is believed that youth find it much easier to adapt to contemporary global world and perceive language as a means of communication, whereas representatives of other generations tend to see it as an expression of identity. 3. The research tried to identify the possibilities of survival of the Lithuanian language in the increasingly global world. It was established that the informants see good possibilities for survival of the language and believe that it mostly depends on us and our willingness to preserve our mother tongue. The informants do not believe that Lithuanian may get extinct in a short term because Lithuanians are more prone to use and preserve their mother tongue. 4. The general research conclusion – the proposition brought forward in the beginning of the thesis proved to be right. Native Lithuanian language is the main factor shaping Lithuanian national identity. Other factors are also important (geographical location, citizenship, history of Lithuania, participation in Lithuania's political life, upbringing) but their role is only secondary.The main reason determining the decline and fall of the Lithuanian nation is denationalization, loss of language and customs.

Topic of the thesis − Native Language as a Priority for Preserving National Identity (Insights of Three Generations). Relevance and problem of the topic. Native language is one of the most important links of continuity of national identity. It is not only high-sounding words but also life experience, source of national spirit, peculiarity and sense of belonging to the same linguistic community, which, while gradually turning into personal conviction, becomes an essential part of national, moral and cultural identity. The role of language is exceptional. It is hard to find any other element as important as the language itself, bringing all members of the national and political community into a single whole. The goal of the thesis − to examine national priorities of three generations; by means of comparative analysis, reveal the role of the native (Lithuanian) language in pursuit of preserving and strengthening Lithuanian national identity. Therefore, the Master's thesis will address national identity and its relationship with the native language. Objectives of the thesis: 1. To analyse the elements reflecting Lithuanian national identity (Lithuanianhood), their expression and change in our society. 2. To reveal the possibilities for preserving Lithuanian national identity in the process of global integration. 3. To examine the relationship between native language and national identity; to define the Lithuanian language as an inherent feature of Lithuanianhood. 4. To explore linguistic principles and problems of self-identification in the face of globalisation. 5. To analyse the role of Lithuanian nationality, Lithuanianhood and the Lithuanian language as a system of moral values in the development of personal values. 6. To carry out a qualitative research in order to find out how three generations evaluate their native Lithuanian language as the main factor for preserving national identity. Methods of the thesis: 1. Documentary analysis (scientific, publicistic literature). 2. Interview. Proposition defended in the thesis. Native Lithuanian language is the main factor shaping Lithuanian national identity. Other factors are also important (geographical location, citizenship, history of Lithuania, participation in Lithuania's political life, upbringing) but their role is only secondary. The main reason determining the decline and fall of the Lithuanian nation is denationalization, loss of language and customs. The main reasons determining the survival of the Lithuanian nation are the ability to preserve nationality; it also covers the facts of the history of Lithuania and the unity of the Lithuanian nation. Theoretical basis of research. Lithuania's presence in the world unfolds itself by a specific language expressing a peculiar public spirit, historicity and culture of the knowledge of the world. Language plays an exceptional role. It would be hard to find any other element as important as the language itself, drawing all members of the national and political community together. After all, the closeness of language inevitably reveals at both personal and community level. It is a certain guarantor of our psychological security: it is a fellow country-man's feeling arising out of belonging to the same linguistic community, which are always a nation and most commonly a state. Main conclusions: 1. The analysis of theoretical material leads to the conclusion that there is a close relationship between national identity and native Lithuanian language. Once the native language is lost, the main factor for preserving national identity is lost as well. 2. The research tried to answer whether the Lithuanian language is a means of communication, a system of symbols or a part of individual identity. The study determined that it is a part of national identity for most of the informants, only a youth group find it more like a means of communication, even though this group of the informants does not deny language as the expression of identity. It is believed that youth find it much easier to adapt to contemporary global world and perceive language as a means of communication, whereas representatives of other generations tend to see it as an expression of identity. 3. The research tried to identify the possibilities of survival of the Lithuanian language in the increasingly global world. It was established that the informants see good possibilities for survival of the language and believe that it mostly depends on us and our willingness to preserve our mother tongue. The informants do not believe that Lithuanian may get extinct in a short term because Lithuanians are more prone to use and preserve their mother tongue. 4. The general research conclusion – the proposition brought forward in the beginning of the thesis proved to be right. Native Lithuanian language is the main factor shaping Lithuanian national identity. Other factors are also important (geographical location, citizenship, history of Lithuania, participation in Lithuania's political life, upbringing) but their role is only secondary.The main reason determining the decline and fall of the Lithuanian nation is denationalization, loss of language and customs. The main reasons determining the survival of the Lithuanian nation are the ability to preserve nationality; it also covers the facts of the history of Lithuania and the unity of the Lithuanian nation.

125 years ago, the mission of the Lithuanian literary, political, and scientific newspaper Varpas (The Bell) published under the Czarist occupation was to interpret the issues of the national life, to raise the nation's spirit, and to awaken and strengthen the national self-consciousness. Among other issues, the publishers devoted great attention to a fundamental human need, i.e. the maintenance of identity and its relationship to faith (Catholicism). Religion and language were interpreted as closely related phenomena and as the nation's values of utmost significance for the maintenance of the national identity. Religion, language, and customs were so closely related that the destruction of one could undermine the fundaments of the other elements. People who had learnt their native language from their mothers, and later had disowned it, could have also questioned another legacy of the mother, i.e. faith. As demonstrated in the paper, the henchmen of the czarist government tended to simultaneously destroy both Catholicism and Lithuanianness in different ways, especially during the reign of Mikhail Muravjov. The authors of Varpas considered the Orthodox church to be the main factor of Lithuanians' assimilation which tried to attract Lithuanians in different ways; another important factor of influence was school which taught children different subjects, even religious studies, in a non-native language. In the implementation of that kind of Muravjov's strategy, some clergy collaborated with the invaders.
