The author initially presents key terms and their definitions, the main issues of the erasure and the role of international organizations for protection of human rights; the judicial proceedings and consequently the appeal and the judgment of the European Court for Human Rights (ECHR). The paper describes the current status of the case, the outstanding issues and problems that still await solution. The paper is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter there is an introduction followed by definition of the terms used: Human Rights, International Organizations and International Protection of Human Rights, Erased, Erasure. In the second chapter there is the history of erasure, how it took place, who were the victims and why were they put in such a position. It also points out what is the key issue for the erased and subsequently what was the key argument in the case that took place in the courts in Slovenia and later in Strasbourg. Based on the various arguments on how the erasure was made and the political manipulation of the erasure and the erased, the author also suggests that the act itself was no coincidence.

Development of higher education in Belarus (from 1991 to 2013)

According to recent statistical research the index of literacy in the population of Belarus is very high in comparison with other European countries. Higher education is a key element in the development of the economy and sustainability of the cultural and intellectual potential of the nation. Belarus is a young independent country that is passing through years of integration and international cooperation. This paper describes the development of higher education in Belarus starting from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Using a comparative approach the author focuses on legislation regulating the higher educational system and its development. A few aspects of international cooperation are explored along with the reasons behind exclusion of the country from the Bologna process and its consequences on society.

Organizational and Methodological Aspects of International Cooperation for the Provision of Sanitary-and-Epidemiological Welfare of the Population

The study in question of the structure and content of international cooperation in the sphere of sanitary-and-epidemiological welfare of the population in its various formats – on the UN, WHO, “G-8”, CIS, EurAsEC, SCO, and BRICS levels, as well as within the frames of bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and Republic of Kazakhstan – has made it possible to develop a model of international intercourse organization characterized by such functional features as assessment of the epidemiological situation peculiarities and IHR implementation status, realization of global strategy for infectious diseases control, systemic modernization of methodology, technologies, materials-and-equipment resources as well as human assets and production of medical immune-biological preparations (MIBP), stationary network and mobile complexes for emergency response in order to level the interstate potentials for the provision of effective prevention, detection and monitoring over emergency situations in the sphere of sanitary-and-epidemiological welfare of the population (ES). Top-priority in the list of the ESs is given to novel emerging infectious diseases control as it primarily demands improvement of the informational–and–analytical prognosis–modeling base within the frames of epidemiological surveillance system and sanitary protection of the state territories. Great need in such type of projects is substantiated based on the examples of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic and West-Nile fevers control. Nevertheless, for the realization of the model, coordinating functional authority/agency is required.

Guest Lecturing in South Korea: Informing Cross-Cultural Educators of Physical Therapy

Background and Purpose. Internationalization is growing focus in higher education and physical therapist professionals are increasingly interacting globally. There is limited research in the physical therapy literature about teaching abroad. The purposes of this study are to describe Western-educated physical therapist's (PT) experience teaching as physical therapy guest lecturer (GL) at South Korean university and to develop conceptual model to assist educators in becoming successful bridging educators when teaching abroad. Methods. This case study used qualitative research methods to analyze raw data sources that were prepared and labeled as follows: (1) transcript of recorded lecture, (2) handouts, (3) flashcards, (4) preparation notes, (5) reflective notes, and (6) student course evaluations. Results. Two major components of the experience of guest lecturing in South Korea were identified: knowledge and process. Three concepts support the knowledge component: cultural, teaching/learning, and communication considerations. Three concepts support the process component: preparation, instruction, and reflection. Each concept has supporting themes. Discussion. A conceptual model-built on personal attributes and acquired knowledge about country, its culture, and the teaching process-was developed to assist guest lecturers in becoming bridging educators. Successful bridging educators exhibit high cultural awareness and cultural instructional adaptively, and have the potential to build international relationships, further develop internationalization in higher education, and expand global communication and initiatives. Conclusion. This paper describes the experience of being GL in South Korea through understanding the processes of preparation, instruction, and reflection; knowledge about cultural, learning, and communication considerations of the host country; and the personal attributes of being culturally competent, reflective, and adaptable. The conceptual model developed from the research findings may guide GL in acquiring knowledge about country, its culture, and the teaching process in order to become bridging educator. Key Words: International education, Cultural competence, Teaching methods. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Internationalization, movement to increase and strengthen relationships among and between individual countries, aims to influence cross-cultural communication, global peace, and national security.1 Along with global communication, internationalization brings an increasingly complex force to higher education.12 Teaching students abroad in university as non-native educator is one aspect of international cooperation in higher education that should be explored systematically. There are immense benefits of cross-cultural teaching experiences for educators; however, they are accompanied by challenges that require personal and professional growth.3 Although health care professionals are participating in teaching roles abroad and cultural competency is routinely emphasized within their professions, there is minimal experience or preparation for immersion in cross-cultural classroom instruction. The demands associated with cultural competency change when professionals are teaching in another country and immersed in another culture. Working in multicultural classroom within an educator's own culture differs in the nature and intensity as compared to an immersion experience.3 Similar to other health care professions, the physical therapy profession is committed to fostering cultural competence. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines cultural competence as a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in system, agency, or among professionals that enables effective work in cross-cultural situations.4(p2) Cultural competence is both skill and an understanding that evolves over time, with continual selfreflection. …

From the History of Cultural Cooperation Between the Murmansk Region and the Scandinavian Countries and Finland (1985 – 2008)

Culture has always been one of the most neglected aspects of the critical analysis of cross-border cooperation. It is the least studied and least understood aspect of international cooperation. That's why it is clear that the study of culture and cross-border cooperation is needed now. Thesubject of this article is cultural cooperation between the Murmansk region, the Scandinavian countries and Finland. This article will examine cooperation in the field of libraries and literature studies, and cooperation in the exhibition and management of the museums within this Region.

The Delegation of Dispute Settlement Authority to Conventional International Governmental Organizations

The issue of dispute settlement is problematic in the international system because it may conflict with sovereignty. States may find, however, that in order to facilitate cooperation, they should delegate some authority to resolve disputes to a third party. This article seeks to provide a measure for dispute settlement authority and some explanation for the delegation aspect of international cooperation by examining why states agree to grant dispute settlement authority to a particular kind of institutional arrangement, conventional international governmental organizations (IGOs). The analysis reveals that states tend to enter into IGO agreements with a higher degree of dispute settlement authority when members have a greater incentive to defect due either to the large number of other parties to the agreement, or due to greater cooperative demands as provided by the agreement.

Faculty Exchange in Control Education, One Aspect of International Co-Operation

This paper is an outcome of a faculty exchange program between an American and a German university, in the summer semester of 2001. The goal is to present and promote, the faculty exchange program as one of the many components of international cooperation in engineering education. While no single recipe for a successful approach can be provided, an attempt has been made to create a list of crucial guidelines. The objective is to encourage and share author’s experience with fellow educators. It is hoped that international offices of universities will be able to use findings from this paper as a tool to help faculty members in the development of faculty exchange.

Competition and cooperation in thermophysical properties research

Worldwide cooperation among researchers is an important procedure for the supply of common and reliable data and data bases of thermophysical properties, which are useful to industry. However, to improve the quality of the data, on the one hand, and to supply really influential information, on the other hand, competition is also a very important and effective procedure. Information on thermophysical properties is common human knowledge and, at the same time, is the vital key for entering a high-tech age. Thermophysical properties are the basic strategic data needed to retain leadership in advanced technology. Various aspects of international cooperation as well as competition in thermophysical property research activities in the past are analysed. As the industrial approach toward innovation changes, the importance of thermophysical property information increases. By consideration of such examples as steam properties, thermal conductivity round-robins, and international traceability, the future role of competition in thermophysical properties research is discussed.

Legal and Organisational Aspects of International Co-operation in the Field of Search and Restitution of Displaced Cultural Property

Legal and Organisational Aspects of International Co-operation in the Field of Search and Restitution of Displaced Cultural Property

International relations and the spread of information worldwide

The world is too small to function within borders. Librarians have recognized the need for mutual respect and co-operation between nations, and the importance of their role in achieving this end. IFLA represents the interests of librarianship and has established various core programs that address common concerns. Aspects of international co-operation include the needs for preservation of materials, resource sharing through international networks, international telecommunications, librarian exchanges and materials exchanges. Obstacles to technology, finances and cultural differences must be overcome. Developed nations must assume an open and helpful attitude toward sharing technology with underdeveloped nations so that they can begin to thrive, standards of living improve, and economic markets open. Librarians can effect major changes in the way information is transmitted across borders, thereby shaping information policy and the resulting world order.

INTERNATIONAL CO‐OPERATION IN DISTANCE HIGHER EDUCATION

There is a predominant opinion that distance education, especially that one on higher education level, has to rely on application of educational technology. On the other hand prospective developments in educational and communications technology may bring the distinction between distance and “non‐distance” education into question. But, there is no doubt that the further development of this form of higher education demands broader co‐operation than at present, especially at international level. In this context, the following article, which was written for “Higher Education in Europe” by Dr. Sam B. Crooks, from the Open University, analyses different aspects of international cooperation in distance education with special reference to the work and outcome of the International Conference on Education of Adults at a Distance. The conference, hosted by the Open University in celebration of its tenth anniversary, was held in Birmingham, England from 18 to 23 November 1979. It was attended by over 200 participants from 51 countries.

The United Nations: A Proposal for International Security

FOR more than five years of war, the conditions of peace and the means and organization to ensure peace have been discussed with a thoroughness and earnestness accentuated if anything by the vicissitudes and ordeal through which the United Nations have passed. The causes of the failure of the League of Nations have been probed and analysed dispassionately, and the reasons for the comparative success of other international agencies such as the International Labour Organisation have been scrutinized with the view of throwing the fullest light on the principles to be served in any subsequent attempt to build a new world organization. Even at the end of 1939, serious studies were being initiated by Political and Economic Planning and by the Royal Institute of International Affairs into the various aspects of international co-operation. The quality of the resultant studies and much of the voluminous literature of the ensuing years, with such outstanding books as Prof. E. H. Carr's "Conditions of Peace", Lord Cecil's "A Great Experiment", Mr. Harold Butler's "The Lost Peace" and Mr. R. M. Reyner's "The Twenty Years' Truce", has reached a level that provides solid ground for believing that a much more scientific approach to the whole question of world organization has become possible.
