После вступления решения международного суда в силу государство-адресат обязано его исполнить. Но государство может быть им не удовлетворено по причинам правового, политического, социального характера, пересмотреть его и в конечном счете отклонить. Автором сделаны выводы, что решение может быть верифицировано на базе международной организации, через его учредительные органы, иные структуры, способные оказать давление, осуществление организационного контроля. Доказано, что, преследуя цель неисполнения решения, государства применяют следующие способы проверки: обжалование решения в вышестоящую инстанцию с одновременным обращением в исполнительный орган международной организации, изменение действующего международного договора (включая ограничение юрисдикции суда), его денонсация, заключение нового договора, изменение существующей практики толкования ; A state is obliged to comply with the decisions of the international court. However, the state may not be satisfied with it for legal, political, or social reasons; it may review or ultimately reject it. The author concludes that the decision can be verified based on an international organization, its constituent bodies, other structures (that can exert pressure), or through the implementation of organizational control. The states apply the following methods of verification for the decision non-execution: an appeal to a higher instance with simultaneous appeal to the executive body of an international organization; a modification of an existing international treaty (including limitation of the jurisdiction of the court); its denunciation; signing a new treaty; or amending an existing practice of interpretation.

Three momentous events of the 1960's—the war in Vietnam, the steady worsening of the Sino-Soviet dispute, and the Chinese acquisition of nuclear weapons—portend a shift in the political center of gravity from Europe to Asia in the last third of this century. The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia only temporarily ruffled Europe's political terrain, and, while it damaged Moscow's international prestige, it never threatened to'escalate into superpower confrontation on the continent. The United States and its North Adantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, in fact, went out of their way to avoid provoking the Soviet Union; the ritualistic tone of their denunciations of the invasion indicated that, as after Hungary in 1956, the West was resignedtoMoscow's freedom of action in its Eastern European "sphere of influence". Emboldened by the Western response, the Soviet Union reiterated with increased vigor its proposal for a European security conference to freeze the status quo in Europe.

Abstract
The recent practice of States to amend, suspend or terminate investment treaties has moved questions of potential 'post-termination responsibility' to the forefront of the contemporary legal discourse in international investment law. Although States have often included provisions in their respective treaties to regulate post-termination protection of investments, some aspects of the aftermath of treaty terminations are still unsettled. This article defines and discusses various types of 'post-termination responsibility' by reviewing current practice, doctrine and jurisprudence on the matter. In that vein, it examines terminations, modifications and suspensions that were unlawful and ineffective, or effective but not capable of releasing the State from all treaty obligations either by virtue of survival clauses or separate principles of vested or third-party rights. It then elaborates on denunciations of the ICSID Convention or terminations of BITs and their effects on pending proceedings or the right to initiate proceedings in the future. Moreover, the article discusses whether survival clauses apply solely to unilateral or also to mutual terminations of investment treaties. It will also address the question whether investor rights may continue to be protected as a result of acquired/vested rights or third-party rights. By analysing the most recent jurisprudence and practice of States, as well as more general foundations of general international law, this article aims to contribute to a clarification of these questions.

In a post-world war economic and political context, the signing of the "Modified Reciprocal Trade agreement between the United States of Venezuela and the United States of America" appears on August 28, 1952. Under the auspices of right wing dictatorial regime, Venezuela was changing the course of its international politics and its leaders wanted to stimulate foreign investment, particularly from oil companies. However, in March 1959 the United States imposed the "Mandatory Import Program." The treaty with Venezuela was thus unilaterally broken. In 1962, President Kennedy introduced an even more discriminatory Petroleum Restrictions Program in violation of the Treaty. Venezuela's denunciation of the agreement was officially notified to the United States ambassador in Caracas on December 31, 1971. ; En un contexto económico y político de la posguerra mundial aparece la firma del "Tratado modificado de reciprocidad comercial entre los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y los Estados Unidos de América", con fecha 28 de agosto de 1952. Bajo los auspicios de un régimen dictatorial de derecha, Venezuela cambiaba el rumbo en su política internacional y sus gobernantes deseaban estimular la inversión extranjera, en particular de empresas petroleras. Sin embargo, en marzo de 1959 Estados Unidos impuso el "Programa obligatorio de importaciones". El tratado con Venezuela quedaba así quebrantado unilateralmente. En 1962, el presidente Kennedy implantó un Programa de Restricciones Petroleras aún más discriminatorio y violatorio del Tratado. La denuncia del Tratado por parte de Venezuela fue notificada oficialmente al embajador de los Estados Unidos en Caracas el 31 de diciembre de 1971.

During the year 1929, the Permanent Court of International Justice
held two sessions, and handed down three judgments and three formal
orders. The sixteenth (extraordinary) session of the court began on May
13, 1929, and ended on July 12, 1929; and the seventeenth (ordinary) session began on July 8, 1929, and ended on September 10, 1929. At the sixteenth session, the court gave an order in the " Case Concerning the Denunciation by China of the Treaty of November 2, 1865, between China and Belgium" ; an order in the " Case Concerning the Factory at Chorzow (Indemnities)" ; a judgment (No. 14) in the " Case Concerning the Payment of Various Serbian Loans Issued in France" ; and a judgment (No. 15) in the " Case Concerning the Payment in Gold of the Brazilian Federal Loans Issued in France." At the seventeenth session, it gave an order in the " Case of the Free Zones of Upper Savoy and the District of Gex," and a judgment (No. 16) in the " Case Relating to the Territorial Jurisdiction of the International Commission of the River Oder." In addition to these activities, extensions of its jurisdiction and changes in the court's structure, which have been previsaged, make the year notable in the history of the court.

The current article 54 No. 1 of the Political Constitution of the Republic has been in force since 2005, which refers to the approval of international treaties, and which sought a more leading role of the National Congress in such a process. The purpose of this article is to analyze critically the administrative regulations emanating from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the period indicated above, in order to determine how this dynamic has worked in matters related to, for example, the reservation or publicity of the treaty, or its denunciation, putting special emphasis in how have interacted in these labors the Executive and Legislative Powers. ; Desde 2005 ha estado en vigencia el actual artículo 54 N°1 de la Constitución Política de la República, que hace referencia a la aprobación de los tratados internacionales, y que buscaba un rol más protagónico del Congreso Nacional en tal proceso. El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente la normativa administrativa emanada del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores durante el período ya indicado, en pos de determinar cómo ha funcionado tal dinámica en materias vinculadas, por ejemplo, a la reserva o publicidad del tratado, o respecto de la denuncia del mismo, poniendo especial énfasis a cómo han interactuado en estas labores los Poderes Ejecutivo y Legislativo.

Although the European Union (EU) was occasionally presented in a positive light in the lower house of the Russian parliament (the State Duma) in 1994–2004, there were also numerous criticisms of the EU and the "European community" in a broader sense. The discussions were accompanied by vocally articulated anxieties by those factions that were oppositional to the President and the Government but had a strong foothold in the parliament, such as the conservative Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), the rightwing populist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), and the rightwing Rodina ("Motherland") Party and its predecessors. These anxieties pertained to Chechnya, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states as the spaces of contestation between Russia and the EU. The projects of (re)building the Russian (Soviet) imperial formation on the basis of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) or the Union State (of Russia and Belarus) were presented as alternatives to Western European integration based on the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The anti-EU rhetoric in the Duma, which came hand in hand with the denunciation of NATO, provided a discursive foundation for the eventual shift of the President's and the Government'spolicy. The members of United Russia, the Government's party without a clear ideology that won a constitutional majority in 2003, adopted elements of conservative and rightwing rhetoric of the formal opposition in 2004. This happened in the context of the EU enlargement when the issues of the accessibility of the Kaliningrad Region and the rights of the Russian speakers in Latvia and Estonia were discussed in the parliament. Later the same year, the start of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine became a further impetus for the Duma's anti-EU discourse, a discourse that would soon become mainstream in Russian politics.

Ставится задача рассмотрения влияния американского фактора на процесс демократизации социально-политической жизни Тайваня. Предпосылки демократизации складывались в 1970-х гг. и условно делятся на внешние и внутренние. Внешнеполитические факторы напрямую связаны с изменением позиции США по ряду вопросов. Демократические процессы на Тайване рассматриваются в качестве реакции на определенные внешние «раздражители», главным из которых является политика Америки в регионе. ; The diplomatic status and geopolitical situation of Taiwan determine its huge dependence on foreign factors. Politico-social development of the island is not an exception. It seems that foreign factors inspired democratization of Taiwan which occurred from 1986 to 1996, but precursors of it had been forming since 1972. By correlating some relevant foreign affairs with Kuomintang policies and politico-social reforms in Taiwan in the exact period, we are able to unveil some foreign factors, that had great influence on the democratization of Taiwan. Foreign factors analysis, as well as domestic reforms assessment should begin with determination of key objectives of Taiwan foreign policy. These goals are aimed at preserving Taiwan de facto independence. Specifically, they are strategic, military and economic security arrangements. Foreign factors analysis allows us to emphasize the "American factor" as a key factor that had a great influence on Taiwan. Because Taiwan relied greatly on America in matters of defense, economic and trade cooperation, Taiwan authorities had to consider the USA's opinion on many vital subjects, including domestic policies. America's expectations of Taiwan democratization issue, its role and policy in the Pacific region, its relations with other countries in the region (with China, first of all), its position on some key issues all these variables were taken in account by Taiwan authorities when planning its policy. It is highly possible that the influence of the USA contributed to the exclusion of Taiwan from the UN. In turn, it fostered democratic reforms and a politico-social transformation that are subjects in this paper. Severance of diplomatic relations and denunciation of the Defense treaty between the USA and Taiwan was a great challenge to Taiwan, because it relied on support of American troops in case of an attempt of China to invade the island. The establishment of Sino-American diplomatic relations that followed also fostered the democratization of Taiwan. Other foreign factors, which had slightly less influence on democratization of Taiwan, should be mentioned as well. The "Chinese" factor is one of them. Its indirect influence was huge, though direct influence is hard to evaluate due to the absence of formal relations between China and Taiwan. In order to escape diplomatic isolation Taiwan should strive to preserve contacts and relations of any form and kind with other nations, as well its membership in international organizations, or, otherwise, its independent existence will be under a giant threat.
