FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD

The Journal of International Law has been published by the Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State UniversityDepartment of International Law and International Relations since 1996 with the support provided by theUNCHR office in Georgia, the UNDP office in Georgia, Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) and the USEmbassy to Georgia.

The Editorial Board is honored to convey the appreciation for provision of such an indispensable sup-port, once again, to the above mentioned organizations.

The Publication of the Journal was suspended in 2005. Aiming at promoting the development of thescience of International Law and strengthening the democratic principles in Georgia, the Chair of Interna-tional Law of the Tbilisi State University Law Department renewed publication of the Journal.

The publication of the current volume has become possible with the support of OSCE Mission toGeorgia. The Editorial Board expresses the gratitude to the OSCE Mission for this generous contribution.

***

The Journal of International Law is the scientific periodical, published twice a year. The articles present-ed cover issues of public and private international law, international relations, important aspects of theGeorgian legislation and Georgia’s international legal practice. The Journal is intended for experts of inter-national law, as well as for broad circles of readers interested in above mentioned issues.

The fact that each article, as a rule, is published in Georgian and English and occasionally in Russianlanguage as well, provides the possibility for the foreigner readers interested in these topics to becomeacquainted with the scientific concepts of authors, as well as certain Georgian legislative acts and interna-tional treaties to which Georgia is a party.

The articles may be submitted in all the languages listed above. The Editorial Board provides corre-sponding translation.

The Journal welcomes the contributions from scholars and practicing lawyers, as well as studentsengaged in research of international law issues, and whose articles [Priority will be given to articles whichrefer to the pressing problems of enhancement of the norms of the contemporary International Law and theirfurther development, particularly dealing with international protection mechanisms of Human Rights andbuilding civil society.

The views expressed by the authors in the Journal may not correspond to that of the Editorial Board.

IRINE KURDADZE

STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS ON CORRELATION BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL

AND DOMESTIC LAW AND CONTEMPORARY EVENTS

The issue of the correlation of betweenInternational and domestic law is one of themost complex problems of current importancein the doctrin of international law.

The growing integration processes in thecontemporary world brought about the rap-prochement of international and national lawin the last decade. This is indicated also bythe fact that international law does not onlyrepresent the tool for international relationsof states (as this used to be in the past), buthas also turned into the domestic regulationmechanism. The universalisation of econom-ic, transport and information links, the inten-sification of the global ecological problems,mass character of migration, and what is mostimportant, the necessity of keeping under thecontrol the matters related to the protectionof peace and security, the production of themass destruction weapons, the fight againstinternational terrorism, etc. created a strongobjective basis for strengthening this trend.The new world order requires on the one handbringing national decisions closer and on theother hand making common decisions by theinternational community.

A number of challenging questionsemerge, which call for political and legal solu-tion: how shall the state sovereign rights becorrelated with the authority of internationalorganizations? Is it acceptable to limit the first?How shall the interests of parties be protect-ed on an equal footing? To what extent caninternational norms and mechanisms servingthis purpose be used?

At the current stage, when the internation-al law is attributed such a great importance,in the case of clash of the norms of interna-tional and domestic law the question, as towhich shall be given a priority, is increasinglybecoming an issue of deliberation of the iner-

national courts. The case law, on its turn, inthe theory of international law causes the prob-lem of correlation of international and nation-al law.

In the past the international law research-ers didnot conside the problem of correlationseparately, as the latter did not have a signif-icant practical importance.

Starting from the 19th century the two di-rections have been formed in international lawin relation with the issue of correlation: thedualistic and monistic. The concept of the du-alistic theory was based on the following the-sis – international and domestic law are twoseparate legal systems and therefore, prima-cy of any of those over the other is excluded.

The dualistic theory as a result of influ-ence of the positivism emergea, which domi-nated in XIX-XX centuries. As it is well known,the positivism school rejected the significanceof the natural law and considered the law asthe rule of behavior established and providedfor by state power. Only those rules of behav-ior formulated by the mutual explicit (treaty)or implicit (custom) agreements of states wererecognized to be rules of international law. Thepositivism was trying to strengthen the prac-tice of the bourgeois states, protect their sov-ereignty and independence. At that stage theinternational law encompassed relatively lim-ited number of domestic issues of states. Theinternational and national law contradictedeach other mainly in diplomatic and sale is-sues, the rights of foreigners, the regime ofsailing. The trends of free trade were percep-tible in international politics. Later on theboosting of international bonds resulted in thewidening of the circle of matters to be regulat-ed by international and national law.

The German lawyer Triepel in his work“International Law and National Law”, pub-

Page 23: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

lished in 1899, as well as in the subsequentpublications,1 was discussing international andnational law, as the two different legal orders,which possess different object, subject andsources of regulation.2

At the same time Triepel recognized thatthere are some questions, regulation of whichbelongs to the international and national law.Sometimes reflection of the international le-gal norms in the national law and vice versabecomes indispensable. According to him, thisrefers not to reception, but to the reproduc-tion of given norms in the altered form, as thisrefers to the introduction of a new law alongwith the other sources, although content issimilar, i.e. according to Triepel, internationaland national law norms have similar or closeto each other content, the transfer of the normfrom one legal system to another occurs onlythrough transforming of the correspondingnorm to the new norm, i.e. this is the conver-sion, which in legal literature is as a rule called“transformation”.3

Following Triepel, this issue was consid-ered by the well-known Italian positivist D.Anzilotti. Author argued that international le-gal norm functions only within the frames ofinternational relations, as per the national le-gal norm, it operates within the confine of thedomestic relations. International legal normsdo not influence the binding character of thenational norms and vice versa. Consequentlythere is no conflict emerging between the in-ternational and national law, however one canrefer to another. Alike Triepel, Anzilotti arguesthat “international and national law … repre-sent separate legal orders”.

However the author is compelled to rec-ognize that a state can not refuse to meet in-ternational obligation, justifying this with thenational norm. He also considers that the prin-ciple, according to which the domestic normfully depends on the compatibility with the in-ternational obligations, does not exclude thatupon the interpretation of norm a state takesinto account international obligations.

The supporters of the dualistic theory be-came increasingly active during the 50ies of20th century and soon won the dominant posi-tion. But, they did not agree with Triepel’s andAnzilotti’s extreme positions. They recognizedthe possibility of regulating the same fieldsthrough the norms of international and nationallaw but according to them, in case of collission

the controversies should have been solvedonly through the diplomatic negotiations orother mechanisms of settlement of internation-al disputes or putting in operation internationalaccountability mechanisms. This position isshared by the German lawyers U. Scheunerand G. Dahm, who promulgate the so called“balanced dualism“ theory.4

Subsequently the coordination theory pro-liferated, which became known as the “Fitzmaurice compromise“ in 1950ies. Accord-ing to this theory, both systems are indepen-dent, they operate in different fields and there-fore, both are supreme in their own fields. How-ever, a conflict between the obligations mayemerge if a state is not able to act at any level inline with the requirements of international law.The result will be as follows: the legal force ofthe national norm is absolute, „however inter-national legal responsibility of a state emerges“5

The same position is shared by Ch. Rouseau.6

At the end of the 19th century and thebegining of the 20th century one of the direc-tions of the monist theory also proliferated: theprimacy of domestic law over the internation-al law. The initial elements of this theory arealready found in the philosophical works ofHegel. The theory was further developed ba-sically in the German international legal liter-ature. Its supporters, who often are called the“international legal nihilists”, rejected the ex-istence of international law and argued thatthe state will is not limited by any externalforce. This theory justified the German em-pire’s aim which did not wish to be limited byinternational legal norms. Two theories wereshaped in this period: “the theory of force” and“the theory of external state law”. These the-ories stand close to each other with their ulti-mate conclusions. Both theories lead to re-jection of the international law in favor of theunlimited power of a state.7

Both theories were in principle based onthe provisions that the regulation of interna-tional relations takes place only based on thewill of a state, without which there is no legalnorm binding a state.

In reality these theories did not correspondto the reality of that time either, as at the edgeof 19th and 20th centuries cooperation of statesdid more and more intensely require the ex-istence of the generally recognized obligato-ry international norms, notwithstanding wheth-er their actions corresponded to the interests

Page 24: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

or will of a state. This absolutely does notmean that international law is unalterable. Theuniversally recognized norms of internationallaw used to be created and still are createdbased on the agreement of the will of states,their alteration or annulment is possible alsobased on the agreement and not on the basisof the will of one state. However, the newlyemerged states cannot change the alreadyexisting system, which means that a state com-plies with the already settled order that indi-cates at the primacy of international law. Thisdoes not mean that separate states do notviolate international legal norms however thisdoes not certainly justify the nihilist theoriesin the field of international law.

Due to this the majority of the authors wasactively promoting the obligatory character ofinternational law and was proving this throughthe examples of the practice. It should be re-membered that there were numerous authorsat that time recognizing the objective existenceof international law and standing of certainnorms above the will of separate states.8

After the First World War the second di-rection of the monist theory starts emerging –the primacy of international law over the do-mestic law.

H. Kelsen categorically denied any relationof the natural law with the positive law. It consid-ered law as the closed hierarchy of norms. Allthe legal norms within this normative system rep-resent one unity. All these norms, among theminternational legal norms, regulate the relationsbetween the individuals. If international law bindsand authorizes state, this does not mean that itdoes not bind and authorize individuals; thismeans that international law binds and grantsauthority to individuals who represent state bod-ies. This rule of conduct is established by inter-national law not directly, but through the nation-al legal order. The latter defines the circle ofpersons which implement international law indomestic bodies. In this respect the interna-tional legal order delegates the implementa-tion of its norms to domestic law. According toH. Kelsen in this uniform system of law inter-national law stands higher than domestic law.Certainly international law defines the materi-al content of domestic law. It is the basis ofdomestic law (among them are the constitu-tional norms). The international legal ordershows its importance only as a part of univer-sal legal order.9

In “The Principles of International Law”Kelsen argues that international law is thesupreme legal order, limitation of which is notallowed, it limits national legal order itself. Lim-iting the functioning of national legal order isimportant function of the international legalorder. As per important characteristic of do-mestic legal order the author considers thecircumstance that domestic legal order obeysonly international legal order.

The object of all he legal norms of the uni-versal legal system created by H. Kelsen is theaction of an individual. If the domestic legal normdirectly regulates actis of an individual, interna-tional norm regulates them through the domes-tic legal order. It is the domestic legal order whichidentifies which officials or the state bodies canmake these norms work. Therefore, in Kelsen’sview, international law defines the “materialelement” of the operation of the internationallegal norm, whereas the domestic law definesthe “personal element”. From this viewpointthe norms of international law do not require“transformation”, if this is not specifically en-visaged by the international legal norm itself.The norm is transmitted directly and is basedon the “delegation” of international law withregard to domestic law. This is not transfor-mation, but a phase of the procedure of cre-ation of law, the form of which is uniform.10

Therefore, Kelsen rejects the dualistictheory, which, according to his position, de-rives from the dogma of sovereignty, accord-ing to which “international law creates rightsand obligations for states only and not for itsorgans and citizens». With this Kelsen goingagainst the dualistic approach, states that in-ternational law together with the domestic lawcreates uniform system and represents theuniversal system of law.

The Kelsen Theory on the pyramid hier-archy of legal norms, the unity of internation-al and domestic legal systems was recognizedas the classical model of the monistic theoryof primacy of international law, however it hadnot many supporters.

The monistic theory is shared not only bypositivists, but by solidarists as well, if H. Kelsendoes not go at the end of the hierarchy beyondthe legality of the supreme norm and places thesearch for the basis of the “main norm”(Grundnorm) outside the scope of the construc-tion of normativism, solidarists “enlist the objec-tive events” outside the positive law to the basis

of the basis of hierarchy. A well-known repre-sentative of this concept is the French lawyerG. Scelle, who considers the international legalrelations as unity of endless “relations”. Theyare linked with each other through “social soli-darity”. At the same time, alike Kelsen, G Scellealso considers that international law is the “su-preme” legal order, as for the state – this is alegal order, which directly to obeys to interna-tional legal order. Scelle also rejects the notionof state sovereignty on the basis of the primacyof international law and argues about the exist-ence of the legal capacity of individual. He arguesthat the notion of the state sovereignty “oppos-es fact and law”, rejects the notion of main rightsof a state, as a devoid of legal certainty. The authorargues that “international relations are relationsbetween an individual and groups, which emerg-es beyond the state boundaries”. “The progressof international law shall depend on the extent towhich it will become supranational in the future”.11

The same theory, though in a more limitedform, was shared by the Austrian A. Verdrossand the Swiss P. Guggenheim.

P. Guggenheim was writing: “according tothe principle of primacy of international law,its competence is potentially unlimited…, allsubjects, which are regulated by domestic law,may be regulated by international law. Theindependence of a state is nothing more thanits subjecting to “the supreme legal order”.12

One of the figures of the “Vienna School”created by H. Kelsen – A. Ferdross calls his con-cept the theory of “balanced i.e. complicatedparted monism”. He allows for the possibility ofconflict between the international and nationallaws. These conflicts may be solved only withinthe unity of the legal system, based on the pri-macy of public international law, as “the domes-tic law may freely develop only within the framesof international law». Verdross does not indicatecategorically to subordination of domestic lawto international law.13

It is apt to mention that some of the con-clusions of “balanced monism” and “balanceddualism” coincide with each other. For exam-ple, the both concepts recognize that theremay be collision created between internation-al and domestic laws, which can be regulatedonly with the assistance of international law,in particular, with the support of the instituteof peaceful settlement of international disputesand the institute of international accountability.

Malcolm Show considers that strict recogni-tion of the positions of monism or dualism donot provide for possibility to understand the realsituation. The studying of states’ constitutionaland court practice and practice of internationalcourts is necessary.14

According to his observation, majority ofstates recognizes employing customary normswithin the field of their own jurisdictions, if theydo not contradict the domestic norms, andsome states even grant the priority to the in-ternational law over the domestic legal norms.15

According to the author, as a rule we dealwith the conflict of obligations, i.e. a state doesnot act within its domestic law in accordance withthe international legal obligations. In such casethe domestic position of a state remains intact(and is not annulled by the counter norm of inter-national law), but if a state’s action at the inter-national plane violates international legal norm,its responsibility moves into international field andcauses diplomatic protest or a court action.

I. Brownlie16 considers that the theoreticalconstructions recognize the problem and re-ject the reality. If there is anyone to agree withthe opinion of Fitzmorriss and Rousso, thisperson will appear closer to the reality. Andstill, completely general theoretical construc-tions will not reflect this relation.17 The authorunderlines the fact that the issue of the corre-lation points at the differences which exists inthe organization i.e. in the nature of jurisdic-tion (would that be national or international)between the character of the norms of thebosth systems, as of the flexible instrumentsof the dispute settlement and not of the regu-lation of the disputed issues. For instance,international court may employ domestic norm;at the same time the body, such as, for, exam-ple, the US Foreign Claims Settlement Com-mission, which is the domestic organ, mayemploy international legal norm.

When domestic court employs internation-al law, it is sensless to put the question wheth-er the norm was “transformed“ into domesticlaw, if the transformation does not require aspecial procedure, established by the nation-al legal system, whithout which none of theorgans may use the international legal norm.

The French scientists (Y. Combacau, A.Pellet, P. Dailliet, D. Carreau. P-M. Dupuy), whosupport the balanced dualism, recognize theautonomy of international and domestic law,but at the same time underline the fact that

Page 26: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

25

none of them can act in isolation from anoth-er and these systems are interrelated andconcurrent.18

At the same time, almost all of them, inone way or the other, recognize the primacyof international law and not only of interna-tional treaties, with regard to domestic law.

D. Carreau points out the court practiceand the customary and conventional normsof the contemporary internaitonal law beginingfrom the end of XIX century. In particular, itconsiders the Article 27 of the Vienna Con-vention on the Law of Treaties and concludes:“such a principle of primacy of internationallaw makes it clear that international law (i.e.the entire positive law and not only treaties)in sum stand higher than unity of domesticnorms: the constitutional, legislative, executiveand court decisions. This primacy was recog-nized by international arbitration and courts“.19

Carreau, as well as other scientists, referto the court practice in order to prove thatuniversal international law, including treaties,stands higher than domestic law. As a rule,they refer to the same historic facts. Consid-ering the Montigo case in 1875 the arbitrationfound that “treaty is higher than constitution“.

Later, considering the George Pinsoncase in 1928 arbitration pointed out that atreaty concluded between France and Mexicois higher than the Mexian Concsistion: “thereis no doubt that international law stands high-er thatn domestic law“.

The Permanent Chamber of InternationalJustice pointed out in its decision of 4 Febru-ary 1932: “Deriving from the universally rec-ognized principles, one state, in the disputewith another state, cannot, based on the ownConstitution free itself from the obligations,which are placed on it by international law ora specific treaty“.

The same opinion was expressed by theInternational Court of Justice in the 1998 Ad-visory Opinion with regard to the Represen-tation of the Palestine Liberation Organization(in the Headquarter in New York).20

P-M. Dupuy is more coscious in making con-clusions: “relation of international and domesticlaw is inrrelated and concurrent. The way thisrelation is implemented significantly depends onthe constitutional choice of a state. This gives usa possibility to conclude more or less clearly whe-ther international law is granted higher hierarcicalstand in relation with the domestic law“.21

Dailler and Pellet categorically declare: “in-ternational justice and legislative practice, as wellas domestic justice more and more often recog-nize that internaitonal law would not have exist-ed without strengtehning its primacy with regardto domestic law“.22

The factual material cited by these authorsis interesting:

At the San-Fransisco Conference in June,1956 the suggestion of the Belgian delegationto include into the UN Charter the principle ofprimacy of international law was rejected. How-ever, three years later the United Nations In-ternational Law Commission “the Declarationof the State Rights and Obligations” draft in-cluded a special article, according to which “ev-ery state is obliged to conduct relations withother states in accordance with the norms ofinternational law and the principle according towhich all state sovereignty is subjected to theprimacy of international law” (Art. 14).

The Italian Professor L. Bravo considersthat “at the contemporary stage the problemof monism-dualism has absolutely theoreticalimportance”.23 However, during the consider-ation he himself reaches the conclusion thatinternational law influences state systems atthe current stage. Even more, the author con-siders the cases, when state is compelled totake into consideration norms of internationallaw. For example, Bravo refers to jus cogensnorms and points out that national law cannotoutweight such a norm, even if it contains adifferent norm of conduct.

The former Chairman of the EuropeanCourt of Human Rights Lucius Wildhabberrpossesses extremely interesting position. Ac-cording to his position, the support to dualis-tic or monistic concepts is a subject of moreideological considerations, political preferenc-es or it is at all a utopian view. Especially asthis issue is not a subject of comparative studyvis-à-vis the domestic legal order, as bothconcepts, at the end, as a rule, focus on do-mestic law. It would be more precise to saythat practically all state domestic legal systemsinclude the elements of both – monistic anddualistic systems. He cites the so called sup-porter states of the dualistic system as an ex-ample: “in some states (United Kingdom, Ire-land, Canada, Australia and Scandinaviancountries) international treaties require imple-mentation into domestic law through specificnormative acts. Despite this, courts use the

international treaties not from the transforma-tion point, but from the moment of ratification.Such cases, definitely, does not constitutedualism”.24

A. Cassesse on the one hand declaresthat “most States do not accord primacy to in-ternational riles in their national legal systems.Thus, it may be concluded that most membersof the world community tend to play down thepossible role of international legal standartsin their domestic legal setting. It does not fol-low, however, that they normally and system-atically disregard international norms. Thecontrary is rather the rule. The failure of Statesto accord to international law pride of place athome only means that they fo not intednd tithe their hands formally, at the constitutionalor legislative level. In other words, subject tothe few exceptions already referred to, Statesultimately prefer not to enshrine in their con-stitutions or in their laws a firm and irrevoca-ble commitment to unqualified observance ofall international rules”.

On the other hand he recognizes that “weare faced with a phenomenon of increasingimportqnce: there are more and more inter-national rules that address themselves directlyto individuals, either by imposing obligationsor by granting rights. These rules intend to,and to, reach individuals directly, that is, notthrough the medium of the municipal law ofStates. They ar thus operative as soon as theyemerge, regadless of what is provided for inany particular national legal systems, and evencontraty to possible national rules”.25

The transformation, which the Soviet doc-trine of international law experienced26, is in-teresting, as it rejected both directions of themonist theory and only partially shared thedualist approach. The Soviet scientists con-sidered international and domestic law, as“separate systems of law”27, however at thesame time they distanced themselves from thedualism traditional doctrine as well due to theideological differences. According to them, “thedifference of “realistic dualism” (as they werereferring to their concept) from the traditionalis that the Socialist science studies as inter-national, as well as domestic laws in the sys-tem of socialist connections and thus goesbeyond the concrete, pure legal aspects oftheir interrelation».

According to the soviet scientists, this cir-cumstance was giving a possibility to explain

the true reasons of these interrelations. A.Gaverdovsky, who devoted not one work tothe problem, among them the monograph “Theimplementation of international norms”, wrotethat when analyzing the correlation of the in-ternational land national laws, the socialist le-gal doctrine derives from the principle of thestate sovereignty, and considers internation-al and domestic laws as two independent andseparate from each other systems, which areclosely interrelated.28

Soviet scientists were based on the Marx-ist concept of the state sovereignty and agreedwith dualists that international law and domesticlaw are two independent legal systems. At thesame time they shared the view that despitethe fact that the two systems are isolated fromeach other, there still is a close link in betweenthe systems.29

V. Butkevich has mentioned that “the du-alists are so much entertained with studyingthe characteristics of the relation of interna-tional and domestic laws … that they did notconsider the existence of the correlation ofthese legal systems and their elements wouldbe possible”.30

However, if there is the correlation in be-tween the legal systems, it must be regulatedin accordance with the hierarchy of norms.This issue remained open in the soviet scien-tific theory. In other words, the soviet schooldid not share the orthodox dualism (Anzilotti), as itdid not reject the interrelation of the interna-tional and domestic laws and therefore recog-nized the collision in relation of these systems.

The soviet scientists were drawing theconclusions as follows: “Any state must fulfillthe international legal norms, internationaltreaties and obligations in good faith. Howev-er, at the same time only such internationalnorm has a real force and moral authoritywhich does not impose the will of other stateover a sovereign state and does not conflictwith the state order and legal system”.31

After the dissolution of the Soviet Unionand creation of the independent Russianstate, even though the Russian scientists still“share” the dualist theory, new elements ap-pear in their concepts. They more and morefrequently appeal to the elements of the con-cept of the primacy of international law. Whendiscussing the problem of interrelationChernichenko pays attention at the terminol-ogy. According to him, this refers not to the

correlation of domestic and international law,but at separating the international and domes-tic legal orders, as the legal order is the broad-er concept.

In our opinion, the usage of the terminol-ogy related to this issue is relative, as notwith-standing whether we talk about legal systemor the legal order, the objective boundariesbetween the domestic and international laware defined by the nature of the regulation ofrelations and the circle of participants of therespective relations. S. Chernichenko arguesabout the livelihood of the dualist theory in hismonograph as well. It is interesting to observe,how carefully he introduces in his reasoningthe concept of the “priority of international law”and develops the idea. He mentions that in-ternational law and domestic law function indifferent spaces and therefore identifying theissue that international law cannot regulatedomestic relations is not grounded, the au-thor declares that domestic law must corre-spond the international law in order to ensureits implementation. In this sense he considersprimacy of international law as acceptable.32

The author almost confesses in the con-sideration that there is a legal system (inter-national law) to which domestic law must cor-respond. Naturally, the question emerges, ifthere is no legal requirement of establishingsuch a correspondence, why should a statevoluntarily implement such a legal action? Theauthor sees the answer in the constitutionalnorm, though the constitutional norm is a high-er standing norm in domestic law that causesthe question: why is such a norm included inthe constitution?

The prominent Russian scholar I.Lukashuk considers that the direct function-ing of international norms has a relative char-acter, as the norms commence direct actiononly when they are attributed the correspond-ing legal force in line with the national law.33

A state decides itself, which system tochoose, but a state shall create such a legalsystem which provides for the implementationof international obligations. According to him,when establishing the correlation of interna-tional and domestic law, the main role is at-tributed to the constitutional law. Lukashukpoints out the Article 27 of the Vienna Con-vention on the Law of Treaties and declares,that even in cases when international treatycontradicts constitution, it retains the interna-

tional legal force for the state. However withinthe state it – the treaty – is almost not appli-cable.

In the third edition of the work the authorconsiderably “renews” his concept. He shiftsan attention towards the “correlation” of thetwo systems. This time the author closely re-lates this phenomenon with the globalizationprocess – “the tending of the legal regulationtoward globalization seems more and more no-ticeable … the deepening of interrelation ofinternational and domestic laws leads us tothe creation of the global legal system, or thesuper system”.34 But the author underlines thatthis does not mean the creation of “the worldstate”, “the world law”. The national legal sys-tem in a large part operates as the part of theglobal legal system and must correspond toits principles.

However this does not mean the completedominance of international law with regard tothe domestic law. The subjection of the do-mestic legal system occurs only when this isneeded for the normal functioning of interna-tional law.35

Therefore, I. Lukashuk on the one handrejects the supremacy (primacy) of the uni-versally recognized principles and norms ofinternational law (it is apt to mention that theauthor in principle talks about the priority ofinternational treaties) over the norms of do-mestic law without the indication of state will,however at the same time he is compelled tovery vaguely recognize the necessity of sub-jecting the domestic law to international, thathe explains with the advancement of the glo-balization processes. Here we again confrontthe main issue – what compels the state toact in accordance with the universally recog-nized principles and norms, not only at theinternational plane, where the primacy of in-ternational law is universally recognized, butalso within a state as well, in cases when itslaws, including constitution, contradict thementioned principles and norms. The essenceof the primacy after all is that the norms ofinternational law take precedence notwith-standing whether a state recognizes them ornot, as the general will of states to cooperatestands higher than the will of one particularstate.

The issue of correlation of internationallaw and domestic law has never been the subjectof complex study and analysis in the Georgian

science. Although separate aspects have beenstudied by I. Putkaradze36, K. Korkelia37, P. Tsno-biladze38, broader and more detailed analysisis provided in the monograph by L. Alexidze,published as early as in 198239, however thework studies only the issue of primacy of in-ternational law vis-à-vis international relations.

In relation to the primacy of internationaltreaties over the Georgian domestic legisla-tion all the named authors recognize the pri-ority of treaties over the national norms, how-ever with the exception of the Constitution ofGeorgia. In other words, the authors literarilyinterpret the formula of Article 6 of the Consti-tution and separate international treaties fromthe universally recognized principles andnorms of international law.

In the context of the topic of our consider-ation the views of the authors on the primacyof the international law per se, i.e. universallyrecognized principles and norms, are interesting.

As mentioned already the discussion overthe issue of the primacy of international lawboth in international relations as well as do-mestic law can only be held in case if the orig-inal element of the concept of “primacy” is thelimitation of the freedom of separate willpowerof a state, despite whether it wishes to abidethe norm in creation of which it did not partic-ipate, actively opposed its establishment or didnot take part in the process at all, as it wascreated before its emergence at the interna-tional areana. Therefore, in our view, the pri-macy contemplates the unconditional abidingby all states to the vitally important norms ofthe international legal order, as these princi-ples and norms reflect will of states.

In this regard I. Putkaradze’s position, ac-cording to which the human rights and free-doms envisaged by the Article 7 of the Consti-tution of Georgia have direct and immediateeffect in Georgia, is interesting. This meansthat notwithstanding whether the universallyrecognized human rights and freedoms are re-flected in the Georgian domestic legislation,their observance must be guaranteed in thestate40. The author reaches the conclusion that“when exercising authority, i.e. even at thepoint of identifying the constitutional principlesand norms the people and the state are boundby the universally recognized rights and free-doms, as directly acting law”.41

K. Korkelia refers to one of the main com-ponents of the primacy of international law –

a stand of customary international law in thehierarchy of the Georgian legislation andreaches the opposite conclusion: as the Arti-cle 7 of the Constitution does not establishthe hierarchical correlation of the norms ofinternational customary human rights law withregard to other acts, the general approachestablished in Georgia shall be applied in re-lation to this category of norms (as establishedby the Article 6(2) of the Constitution, andconsidered by other normative acts), accord-ing to which the norms of international cus-tomary law have primacy over the Georgianlegislation (for example, over the laws, but notthe Constitution).42

The author absolutely correctly provides thatin line with the Article 6(2) of the Constitution theentire Georgian legislation is “dependant” on theuniversally recognized principles and norms ofinternational law, and when it does not corre-spond to the latter, the former shall be changed.The same is true with regard to the upcomingdomestic norms. If this is not so, than in case ofestablishing that the domestic acts do not cor-respond with the universally recognized princi-ples and norms of international law, the latterwill take precedence”.43

The author’s view that a provision of theAct of the Restoration of Georgian State Inde-pendence (09/04/1991), according to whichthe primacy of international law in relation withthe Georgian laws and the direct operation ofits norms in Georgia is recognized by one ofthe main constitutional principles of the Re-public, does inevitably include the primacy ofthe international customary law as well, andthis has become the part of the Georgian leg-islation with the 1995 Constitution, is correct.The norms of international customary law aregranted the domestic legal force in Georgia,and this is the immediate pre-condition for di-rect employment of the international custom-ary norms in Georgia.44

Herewith we can not share of the author sview in that the primacy of international law, inparticular in the form of the universally recog-nized principles and norms, among those pro-tecting and regulating human rights, stand low-er than the Constitution of Georgia – in thecase of collision the primacy shall be given tothe Constitution of the country.

The term “corresponds” defines the al-ready existing situation and not the require-ment for the future, however, in our view, the

Page 30: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

legislator contemplated that the Constitutionof Georgia in any case and not only by thetime of the adoption of the Constitution mustcomply with this requirements. At the sametime the question emerges: is the Georgianlegislation objectively in line with the univer-sally recognized principles and norms of in-ternational law? Such a question would nothave emerged, provided that Georgia, evenwhen undergoing the procedure of ratifyingor accessing the international treaties, wouldfirst require harmonization of the Georgian leg-islation with the latter and undertake the pro-cedures only afterwards. However the prac-tice of the Georgian Parliament has confirmedthat it is also possible that the country firstratifies the international treaty and only after-wards harmonizes the domestic legislation withthe instrument (as an example of this the rat-ification of the Statute of the InternationalCriminal Court can be cited).

The issue can be solved in an easier man-ner, when we discuss the international trea-ties, even multilateral regional (for example,in relation with the European Union), as in thiscase the will of a state, to limit its sovereignty,is evident. A state agrees to alter the Consti-tutional provision in line with requirements asenvisaged by the international treaty (this iswhat did France, and not once, in the processof transformation of the European Communi-ties into the European Union). But this, mustbe reiterated, refers to international treaty, theissue of participation into or staying outsideof which is decided by a state.

In case if the domestic law employing bodycomes across the inconsistencies in the Con-stitution and the universally recognized normsof international law, it will have a dilemma -which norm to use. Herewith we support theview of I. Putkaradze that the norm shall beused deriving from the primacy of internation-al law, as the norm directly applicable in Geor-gia. Any international court, such as for exam-ple, in the field of human rights, will grantagainst a state whose constitution does notcorrespond with the universally recognizednorms, especially if it recognizes that its legis-lation “is in line with” the universally recog-nized principles and norms of international law.

In our view when including the terminolo-gy of universally recognized principles andnorms of international law in the Constitutionof Georgia, the legislator implied that Geor-

gia, being a member of the contemporary civ-ilized world community, does share the ideasrecognized by international law and the crite-ria of legality recognized by it, as well as themain directions of international law throughwhich the regulation of Georgia’s internation-al legal relations and domestic relations willtake place. The legal system of a state is notconfined to the unity of legal norms. The legalsystem includes as legal norms (in relation withthe international law the treaties which wereduly recognized by a state), legal conscious(which must derive from the content of univer-sally recognized principles and norms of in-ternational law), the legal relations based onthe norms (among those international ones),as well as the process of the norm application(through which the “introduction” of the inter-national legal norms into the domestic legis-lation takes place). Regulation of all these pro-cesses without the universally recognizednorms and principles is inadmissible. The Geo-rgian legislator is obliged to be guided by theseprinciples and norms in the legal drafting pro-cess, as they constitute the ideological sourceof law. Apart from this, in cases when any giv-en relation is not regulated by state legalnorms (the vacuum of law), they are used asan immediate normative basis when decidingon application of law in a concrete legal case.

Therefore the operation of the universal-ly recognized principles and norms extendsover not only the domestic law, but at the le-gal system as a whole.

The majority of the universally recognizedprinciples and norms (the law of human rights,international law of the sea) have a concretecontent, meaning that their direct applicationin the field of domestic law is possible. Forexample, a judge is obliged to ensure the ob-servance of norms included into the Interna-tional Covenants of 1966 , even if they arenot reflected in the domestic legislation of thecountry, not only due to the fact that a giveninstrument has become legally binding forGeorgia following its ratification, but also dueto the fact that the majority of the norms ofthe instruments carry universal character. Thevery principle of respect of human rights, theprinciple of equality of a man and a woman,the principle of freely using the natural resourc-es and wealth by people, the principle of out-lawing the slavery and slave trade, are amongthose. However, a number of norms of the In-

ternational Covenant on Civil and PoliticalRights have explicit content of the universalprincipels – the principle of fair trial, the pre-sumption of innocence, a right to legal per-sonality, etc. Therefore, Article 84 of the Con-stitution, establishing that “a judge … in his/her activities … is bound by the Constitutionand a law”, must be widely interpreted. A judgemust be guided by the universally recognizedprinciples and norms and general principlesas the latter possess the primacy over theConstitution and laws of Georgia, and by in-ternational treaties, provided that they do notcontradict with the Constitution of Georgia.Therefore, the primacy of the universally rec-ognized principles of international law over thedomestic law, recognized by the Constitutionof Georgia, grants a possibility to law apply-ing bodies not to be bound by the legislativebasis created unilaterally by a state. On itsturn, a state is obliged to establish the legis-lative basis in line with the universally recog-nized principles and norms. As a matter of factthe primacy of universally recognized princi-ples and norms vis-à-vis the domestic legisla-tion does not create a hard collision situation(unlike the treaty law), as the universal princi-ples operate as regulator, the basis of thepublic relations within a state, upon which thelegislation should be built. The legal bound-aries of the universal principles and norms arenot clearly identified, and this has to be takeninto consideration by the legislator. In prac-tice this means that judicial bodies may makedecisions based on the domestic legislation,but this does not hamper them to be guidedby the respective international norms, espe-cially when the latter broaden or specify theprovision of the Constitution or a law.

Georgia is one of the first states in the East-ern European and CIS area which still beforethe dissolution of the Soviet Union, right uponthe restoration of independence, with the Act ofIndependence (09/04/1991) recognized the pri-macy of international law over the Georgian leg-islation. However the reinforcement of this pro-

vision was possible only in the 1995 Constitu-tion through the Article 6 and Article 7.

Therefore, the contemporary internation-al law is the unity of norms with the generaldemocratic content, reflecting the objectivepattern of the development of mankind. If in-ternational law at the initial stage of the for-mation represented ephemeral system, todayit is established as a positive legal system,which is the guarantee of peaceful develop-ment of the world legal order. If in the past thewill of a state dominated in directing interna-tional relations, today a state is obliged tocomply with the legal order, which is reflectedin international law by the world community. Itis not by conicidence that in the new politicalreasoning along with the concepts such as thepriority of the general values and interests ofmankind, the unity of the world and interrela-tion of states, the freedom of the choice ofways of development, the concept of the pri-macy of international law becomes increasing-ly establsihed in international relations.

The contemporary international law increas-ingly intrudes into the fields which in the paststrictly belonged to the internal regulation ofsovereign states. Today the primacy of interna-tional law, i.e. the universally recognized princi-ples and norms of international law, are not onlythe supreme legal postulates of the relations ofsubjects of international law, and mainly states,but it stands higher than domestic legal systemsof states. The international and constitutionalpractice of states includes very interesting the-oretical normative practice and case law.

Even though states choose themselveswhich of the concepts to follow, at the currentstage the problem of monism-dualism carriesmore theoretical character, as the state bodiesboth – adminsitrative and judicial shall decidethe same problems in both cases. At the currentstage international law not only influences statesystems, even more, in some cases a state iscompelled to consider and take into account thenorms of generally recognized norms of inter-national law.

VITAL ROLE OF OSCE IN CONDEMNINGETHNIC CLEANSING OF GEORGIAN POPULATION

IN ABKHAZIA, GEORGIA, BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

At its sixty-second session, on 29 May 2008,the General Assembly of the United Nationsadopted extraordinary Resolution concerningthe “Status of internally displaced persons andrefugees from Abkhazia, Georgia”, which for thefirst time in the UN practice acknowledged thefact of ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abk-hazia. The Resolution reads as follows: “Re-calling all relevant Security Council resolu-tions, and noting the conclusions of the Budap-est (1994), Lisbon (1996) and Istanbul (1999)summits of the Organization for Security andCooperation in Europe, in particular the re-ports of “ethnic cleansing” and other seriousviolations of international humanitarian law inAbkhazia, Georgia…

Emphasizes the importance of preservingthe property rights of refugees and internallydisplaced persons from Abkhazia, Georgia,including victims of reported “ethnic cleans-ing”, and calls upon all Member States to de-ter persons under their jurisdiction from ob-taining property within the territory of Abkha-zia, Georgia, in violation of the rights of re-turnees…”1

It is noteworthy that from the very outsetof the conflict the United Nations Security Co-uncil, as well as General Assembly avoidedacknowledging “ethnic cleansing” in reso-lutions adopted by them; however, by 1992-1993 definition of a crime against humanitysuch as “ethnic cleansing” was increasinglyintroduced. And what is more, the growingoccurrence of crimes in the territory of theformer Yugoslavia persuaded the United Na-tions General Assembly to acknowledge “eth-nic cleansing” as a form of genocide, whichwas exercised through mass killing, torture,

terror and other inhuman means against agroup of people of other ethnic origin.2

On 24 May 1994 the Final Report of theCommission of Experts established by theUnited Nations Security Council was published,which provided for a concept of “ethnic clea-nsing”, defined as follows: “ethnic cleansing”is a purposeful policy designed by one ethnicor religious group to remove by violent andterror-inspiring means the civilian populationof another ethnic or religious group from cer-tain geographic areas. To a large extent, it iscarried out in the name of mis-guided nation-alism, historic grievances and a powerful driv-ing sense of revenge. This purpose appearsto be the occupation of territory to the exclu-sion of the purged group or groups”.3

Another report mentioned that “this poli-cyis implemented through the following means:killing, torture, illegal detention and imprison-ment, illegal executions, rape and sexual vio-lence, placing civil population in ghettos,forced displacement, deportation, purposefularmed attacks on civilians and civilian objects,or threatening such an attack”.4

Such a definition fully fits the frame of def-inition of genocide, but an emphasis was stillshifted to “ethnic cleansing”, as Muslims rep-resented a small part of the multi-million pop-ulation in Bosnian Serbia of Bosnia and Herze-govina. Formally, as defined by lawyers, inorder to be recognized as a victim of geno-cide, person shall belong to a specific minor-ity group, which is not a part of majority popu-lation living throughout entire territory of acountry (the Muslim population living in Bos-nia and Herzegovina was considered to besuch a group).

International tribunal for the Former Yu-goslavia, has not once stated that “ethniccleansing” is a set of actions directed againsta certain group of civilians, perceived to beone or several national or political groups;these acts shall be attributed to one and thesame model: these are the state planned andorganized actions… they have a common goal:to organize “ethnic cleansing” at a particularterritory and create a new state. These ac-tions serve as means to exercise policy of “eth-nic cleansing”. Based on this the Trial Cham-ber consider that the above-mentioned actsconstitute “crimes against humanity”.5

In 1994 a State Commission was estab-lished in Georgia in order to reveal facts of“ethnic cleansing/genocide” committed againstthe Georgian population in Abkhazia and toultimately submit the respective material to aninternational tribunal. Chairmanship of theCommission was conferred on me. The Com-mission, with the support of the Georgian Pros-ecution Service, based on meetings with thepopulation displaced from Abkhazia, and photoand video material obtained by journalists,commenced studying the outrageous tragedythat had taken place in Abkhazia.

Reports, listing and summing up the factsestablished by the respective time, were dis-seminated within the UN Security Council andHuman Rights Commission on a yearly basis.The first document was drafted as a State-ment.6

Starting from 1995, the documents distrib-uted, along with providing for lengthy informa-tion on the concrete facts, contained scientificassessment of the practice. For instance, thetitle of the document submitted to the UnitedNations Human Rights Commission was “Eth-nic cleansing/genocide is the main tool foraggressive separatism in Abkhazia”. The doc-ument considered such issues as: 1. Geno-cide/Ethnic cleansing as an international crimeagainst humanity; 2. Fascist ideology of sep-aratists and its implementation in practice; 3.Facts revealing the policy of ethnic cleansing/genocide exercised against the Georgian pop-ulation in Abkhazia.7

The subsequent report was of the sameformat.8

The reports provided for comparison ofthe practice of ethnic cleansing in other re-gions of the world and of the tragedy that had

occurred in Abkhazia. It is known, that 6,000peaceful civilians died as a result of the bar-barian policy, and over 200,000 georgianswere expelled from Abkhazia through terrorand inhuman treatment due to the only rea-son of being Georgians. The latter complete-ly fitted the definition of “ethnic cleansing” asprovided by international experts and tribunalsin their conclusions.

It is to be memtioned, that more then150000 of peoples belonging to other etnicgoorps also had to leave the region

The last, summing-up report was of a par-ticular extent and all-inclusive (38 pages, plusthe maps. See the annex) – Report of thePolicy of Ethnic/Genocide Conducted in theTerritory of Abkhazia, Georgia, and the Ne-cessity of Brining to Justice the Persons WhoCommitted These Crimes in Accordance withInternational Principles of Due Process.9

Unfortunately, as I mentioned already, both– the Security Council as well as the HumanRights Commission “circumvented” to includethis topic into the agenda, however the Spe-cial Rapporteur Eide did straightforwardlymentioned in the Report that violating the terri-torial integrity of Georgia was followed by eth-nic cleansing in Abkhazia.10

The first international organization whichfrom the very beginning echoed the tragicdevelopments taking place in Abkhazia wasnonetheless the Organization for Security andCooperation in Europe (OSCE). Already in1994 the Budapest Summit participating statesexpressed their deep concern over “‘ethniccleansing’, the massive expulsion of people,predominantly Georgian, from their living ar-eas and the deaths in large number of inno-cent civilians”.11

However, the most comprehensive, thoughconcise definition of the policies carried outby the separatists in Abkhazia is included intothe Lisbon Summit Declaration (dated 3 De-cember 1996): “We (the OSCE member states– L.A.) condemn the ‘ethnic cleansing’ result-ing in mass destruction and forcible expulsionof predominantly Georgian population in Abk-hazia”.12

In November 1999 in the Declarationadopted at the OSCE Summit convened inIstanbul the states “reiterated” their “strongcondemnation as formulated in the Budapestand Lisbon Summit Documents, of the “ethnic

cleansing” resulting in mass destruction andforcible expulsion of predominantly Georgianpopulation in Abkhazia, Georgia, and of theviolent acts in May 1998 in the Gali region exer-cised against the returnees, the goal of whichwas provoking fear within those willing to return …we recommend that a fact-finding mission withthe participation of the OSCE and the UnitedNations be dispatched early next year to theGali region to assess, inter alia, reported cas-es of continued “ethnic cleansing” .13

Unfortunately, the above-mentioned Com-mission has not been created however attrib-uting such an importance in the OSCE decla-ration to the conflict in Abkhazia and onceagain condemning egregious crime of “ethniccleansing” perpetrated by separatists had im-mense importance for mobilizing attention ofthe international community.

It is worth mentioning that when discuss-ing a diaft formulation of the Declaration inLisbon, the Russian Delegation was categori-cally against its adoption, as we had used theterm “resulting” in the present continioustense. According to the statements of Russia,starting from 1994 the Russian peacekeep-ers were stationed at Enguri and no ethniccleansing had happened there since. There-fore, according to the position of the Russiandelegation, the term “resulting” should havebeen changed with the term “resulted”.

Their position was altered as I submittedto them the afore-mentioned Report of theOSCE mission and the list of names of over1,000 persons killed during the peacekeep-ers’ presence in Gali region.

I also submitted to them the EU Parliamen-tary Resolution of November 14, 1996, whichstated that “Parliament is concerned… due tocontinuing process of ethnic cleansing in Abk-hazia region.”

One more note shall be made here, asthe term “mass destruction” was changed inthe Russian translation in a manner that theword stood not for physical extermination ofpopulation, but more for demolition or ruiningbuildings, deriving from the position that “de-struction” also means demolition. I had to dealwith reinstating justice in this case as well andultimately the final version of the translationin Russian was formulated in the followingmanner: “îñóøåñòâëÿþò “ýòíè÷åñêóþ ÷èñ-òêó”, êîòîðàÿ âûðàæàåòñÿ â ìàññîâîì óíè÷-òîæåíèè è íàñèëüñòâåííîì èçãíàíèè â

îñíîâíîì ãðóçèíñêîãî íàñåëåíèÿ Àáõàçèè”.(Emphasis made by me – L.A.).

It is to be mentioned that even at the CISearlier summits Russia was made to follow thegeneral position of the participating states andagree to condemn “ethnic cleansing” in Abkha-zia. For example, the fact of ethnic cleansingin Abkhazia was directly recognized at theSummit held in Minsk on 26 May, 1995: theOSCE Budapest highest level meeting ex-pressed concern over “ethnic cleansing”, massexpulsion of predominantly Georgian popula-tion and death of a big number of innocentcivilians.14

The position of the United Nations Securi-ty Council is notable. If we take into accountthe fact that decisions in this body are madewith the majority vote (9 affirmative votes outof 15 are required), including positive votesof all the permanent members of the SecurityCouncil, as well as the fact that there alwayswas and still persists a threat from Russia toexercise a right to veto with regard to any ac-tion and decision relating to peaceful settle-ment of conflicts (Chapter VI of the UnitedNations Charter), not to say anything aboutpossibility of undertaking action in case of aneed of coercive measures for the purpose ofstopping acts of aggression and maintainingpeace (Chapter VII of the United Nations Char-ter), there is no possibility over and over againto declare directly occurrence of “ethnic clea-nsing” in Abkhazia. However, OSCE assessmentswere and continue to be so strong that Secu-rity Council “recalls” in all of its resolutions ado-pted during 1995-2006 the OSCE Budapestdecisions and following that the conclusionsof the Lisbon and Istanbul Summits and con-siders the demographic changes as a resultof the conflict in Abkhazia unacceptable.15

It s to be mentioned here that until 2006all the resolutions included a reference to theLisbon and Istanbul decisions, such as for ex-ample in the resolution adopted in 2002, theSecurity Council “recalls” the Lisbon (S/1997/57, Annex) and the Istanbul Summit conclu-sions concerning the situation in Abkhazia,Georgia.16

Notwithstanding the fact that since 2006the Council does not use this formula it sys-tematically reaffirms the Resolutions contain-ing the above-mentioned formula.17

The United Nations Security Council hastaken very inactive role in resolving the con-

Page 44: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

flict in Abkhazia lately, it leaves without anyreaction sabotage exercised by the separat-ists and an uncompromising refusal to con-sider proposals submitted by any internation-al organization (the Boden Plan) or the Gov-ernment of Georgia (one of which was dissem-inated by Georgia as the Security Councildocument in 1999), as they confirm Abkhaziabeing a part of Georgia and they recognizeinviolability of territorial integrity and sovereign-ty of Georgia.18

The current policy of Russia with regardto the conflict in Abkhazia backs up the sepa-ratist regime both de facto and de jure. De-spite the fact that Russia has never formallyrecognized “independence” of Abkhazia, theformer has actually established close relationswith the separatist, that is expressed in drop-ping economic blockade, mass granting of theRussian nationality, establishing official legalrelations with the separatist bodies, strength-ening peacekeeping forces without the con-sent of Georgia, introduction of the so calledrailway army forces for the sake of reconstruc-tion of strategically important roads, and in gen-eral commencement of a process of “economicrevival” of the Abkhazia region, while hundredsof thousands of displaced population remain

in utmost severe material conditions. It is aptto recall here that according to all the existingdocuments, any kind ofeconomic reconstruc-tion in the region shall be closely linked withthe irreversible process of return of the refugeesand internally displaced persons to Abkhazia.

The separatist regime has absolutely noright to hold any election in a factually depop-ulated Abkhazia (out of population of 550,000there are less than 150,000 remaining in Abk-hazia, the majority of the ethnic Abkhaz liveoutside the region without an intention of re-turning to the devastated homeland).

In this state of affairs the United NationsGeneral Assembly Resolution, adopted de-spite the harsh opposition of Russia, is yetanother reminder to the international commu-nity that when hundreds of thousand innocentpeople fall victims of the intentions of sepa-ratists in any region (notwithstanding howsmall and under inhabited it may be) the in-ternational organizations may not hold a pas-sive stance; the vigorous fight for protectionof such precious rights of contemporary civili-zation is indispensable.

The endowment of the Organization forSecurity and Cooperation in Europe in under-taking this noble duty is enormous.

KETEVAN KHUTSISHVILI

SHALL PROTECTION OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITIES SUPERSEDEPROTECTION OF HUMAN BEINGS FROM MASS ATROCITIES?

“Of course, it was under the law of all civilized peoplesa crime for one man with his bare knuckles to assault another.

How did it come that multiplying this crime by a million, andadding firearms to bare knuckles, made a legally innocent act?”1

I. INTRODUCTION

A right to life, a right to be free from tor-ture, a right to … there are so many essentialhuman rights violation of which to individualvictims causes severe punishment of individ-ual, “ordinary” offenders. It is important toenquire how high ranking state officials, mas-terminding and perpetrating murder and tor-ture of thousands are held accountable; whatis a responsibility of those who plot, but donot necessarily physically execute the mostegregious crimes, named “internationalcrimes”2, disrupting conscience of entire man-kind? From human rights protection perspec-tive shall it matter whether a planner and apolicy maker of massive atrocities is a (serv-ing) head of state or other incumbent high lev-el state official, enjoying (sovereign) immuni-ties or an ordinary, for that pur-pose a “lower-level” murderer? Should the universal juris-diction be applicable without any reservationto the highest level policy makers mastermind-ing human rights atrocities whose lower-levelexecutors are brought to justice for the samecrimes?

Deriving from the issues raised above, amain question this essay brings forward is thefollowing: How legitimate can be a claim ofannulling immunity of heads of states andother high level state officials3 for grosshuman rights violations and subjectingthem to universal jurisdiction, in order tomake every nation, physically capable toprosecute them, legally entitled to do so?To try to answer this question a case of Pi-nochet4 will be discussed as a case study and

conclusions will be drawn with regard to thefollowing: how far can state sovereignty becompromised for protection of human beingsfrom international crimes and prosecution ofthose “well-protected”5 by different immunitiesfor masterminding, directing or allowing massatrocities to happen, including against theirown nationals? It will be argued that eventhough the Pinochet case was considered asa new wave in the development of the con-cept of criminal responsibility of (former) headof state for international crimes, its judgmentin this sense is only very limited.6 As the issueof immunities is rather controversial and ex-tensive state practice7 can not be cited in re-lation to the topic of the essay, a brief parallelwill be drawn with another interesting concept:a still emerging concept of humanitarian in-tervention in cases of gross human rights vio-lations8. It will be demonstrated that eventhough protection of sovereign equality ofstates and of state (sovereign) immunities areimportant principles of contemporary interna-tional relations, these principles can still bedisregarded when there is a sufficiently ma-ture political will of “important states”9 or theiralliances, making decisions on behalf of theinternational community.10

The topic of this essay is especially im-portant, as disregarding immunities of perpe-trators of international crimes is not a newnotion for “international tribunals”11. Taking intoaccount advantages of prosecution at nation-al level12 yet another question emerges: whyshould domestic courts not be allowed to ex-ercise their jurisdiction using the same princi-ple and exercise universal criminal jurisdiction

over these offenders for commission of inter-national crimes?

In order to answer the main question thisessay poses and to understand in depth thelegitimacy of a quest to rescind an absoluteimmunity from criminal prosecution of the high-est level state officials, it is important to brieflyanalyze a concept of state immunity and de-velopment of a notion of individual criminalresponsibility (of high ranking state officials).Analyzing the universal jurisdiction in interna-tional law and contrasting a possibility of abol-ishing immunities to exercise universal juris-diction over perpetrators of internationalcrimes with the recently introduced concep-tion of humanitarian intervention for protec-tion of human rights – conclusion will be drawnin relation to feasibility of establishment ofstate practice and respective norms of inter-national human rights law to subject the high-est representatives of sovereign states to uni-versal jurisdiction, and thus grant domesticcourts of any nation possibility to prosecutehigh ranking state officials protected by im-munities when perpetrating internationalcrimes. Interrelation of immunities, a principleof sovereign equality of states and a problemof protection of human beings from interna-tional crimes will also be discussed. The mainargument the essay tries to develop is thatthe initiatives similar to the Belgian law con-cerning The Punishment of Grave Breachesof International Humanitarian Law13 must besupported in this sense.

The following Chapter will discuss devel-opment of a concept of sovereign immunity,and will show that at the current stage of de-velopment of human rights law protection ofimmunities and sovereign equality of states isnot valued more than prosecution of gravehuman rights violations, constituting interna-tional crimes. Chapter III will discuss develop-ment of attributing individual criminal respon-sibility to criminal leaders for grave interna-tional crimes and Chapter IV will introduce anidea of humanitarian intervention when grosshuman rights violations take place in a coun-try. This topic is interesting for the purposesof the Essay as the lack of case law in relationto the theme of this work calls for drawing anal-ogies with other attempts to protect humanbeings from mass atrocities and for that com-promising even state sovereignty. Chapter Vintroduces the case of Pinochet as a ground-

breaking case in relation to protection of im-munities and prosecution of criminal leadersof states.

It is important to underline at this stagethat despite realizing importance attached todifferent types of immunities14, for the purpos-es of this essay immunities afforded to highlevel state officials will be regarded as a one,unified concept, which helps the high rankingperpetrators of international crimes to escapecriminal responsibility. Thus, appreciating dif-ferences between immunity ratione materiaeand immunity ratione personae the essay willnot concentrate on these differences and theimportance attached to them15. This is due tothe limited format of the essay and also dueto the fact that if the matter is discussed fromthe victims’ perspective, there is too little a dif-ference for victims of human rights atrocities,whether a person responsible for grave inter-national crimes was covered by immunity “a”or immunity “b”. What is important for victimsis that a “well-protected”16 high level official isresponsible for the crime, and he/she can es-cape this responsibility due to the well-config-ured immunities afforded to him/her. The es-say will also not consider responsibility of crim-inal leaders for relatively minor crimes – orthose which fall outside the scope of definitionof international crimes17. Thus, the interest ofthe essay is to consider the relationship of anytype of immunity that can possibly be arguedby criminal leaders of states, with their criminalresponsibility for international crimes.

II. PROTECTION OF IMMUNITIES AND

SOVEREIGN EQUALITY OF STATES18:

WHY SHALL THIS MATTER MORE

THAN PROTECTION OF HUMAN

BEINGSFROM ATROCITIES?

“If the doctrine of sovereignty could beerased from the minds of political leaders,would it reduce those forms of human suffer-ing associated with extreme governmental fail-ure? Would such an erasure strengthen sen-timents of human solidarity on which an ethosof collective responsibility and individual ac-countability depends?”19 This is a fundamen-tal question Richard Falk put in his essay. Thequestions, this Chapter poses in relation tothe same issues, are the following: Can pro-tection of human beings from atrocities beconsidered as having more value than protec-

Page 68: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

67

tion of sovereign (state) immunity and there-fore, can inviolability of those representing astate at international plane be put under riskfor the sake of prosecution and, possibly,avoiding future massacres?

To find answers to these questions a cur-sory overview of a concept of sovereign (state)immunity20 is apt in order to appreciate signif-icance attached to it historically. Protection ofsovereign (state) immunity and equality ofstates in international relations do have con-siderable importance. These are concepts ofinternational law, detailed study of which fallsoutside the scope of this essay and therefore,the background discussion will only center onthem from the viewpoint of their correlation withthe development of human rights idea. TheEssay does not argue that a concept of sov-ereign immunity has to vanish altogether.Scope of an enquiry of this work only extendsto notion of sovereign (state) immunity asmuch as it may become a bar to prosecutionof perpetrators of international crimes.

Sovereign (or state) immunity is definedin international law textbooks as “the legal rulesand principles determining the conditions un-der which a foreign state may claim freedomfrom the jurisdiction (the legislative, judicial andadministrative powers) of another state (oftencalled the “forum state”).”21 This conceptionwas considered to be a cornerstone of inter-national relations for centuries. Deriving fromthis rule, “[h]istorically, heads of state were notsubject to criminal responsibility for their ac-tions, because of the merger of the sovereignand the sovereignty of the state.”22 Thus, “[t]hetheoretical basis of the rule of sovereign im-munity can be traced to a time when mostStates were ruled by personal sovereigns who,in a very real sense, personified the State”.23

“The interrelationship between the State andits Head was thus very close: in Loius XIV’swords, ‘L’Etat, c’est moi’”.24

With the development of international lawand conception of state, the attitudes in thisrespect changed. In contemporary interna-tional relations rationale for protection of sov-ereign equality of states may be found in needof supporting international relations betweenthe “equally sovereigns”, in order to maintainproper legal order internationally. Primary sub-jects of international law are sovereign statesand to mention as an example only one – uni-versal international organization, the United

Nations, it “is based on the principle of thesovereign equality of all its Members”25, i.e.sovereign states. However, this “sovereignequality” can not be conceived to be uncondi-tional, as along with recognizing the aforemen-tioned principle, the UN Charter qualifies therights of its members by introducing the follo-wing provision: “All Members, in order to en-sure to all of them the rights and benefits re-sulting from membership, shall fulfil in goodfaith the obligations assumed by them in ac-cordance with the present Charter.”26 One ofthe “obligations assumed” is obligation to pro-tect human rights, as according to the sameCharter, the purposes of the United Nationsinclude “promoting and encouraging respectfor human rights and for fundamental freedomsfor all”27 and “universal respect for, and obser-vance of, human rights and fundamental free-doms for all”.28 Accordingly, it may be conclud-ed that if member states do not comply withthe obligations imposed upon them by theCharter, they may not appeal to the conceptof sovereign equality of states and may notrequire full protection of immunities and sov-ereign equality to which a state is generallyentitled.

Consequently, rationale behind the conceptsof state immunity and state sovereignty maybe formulated as follows: these notions do notmean granting impunity to those perpetratinginternational crimes rather they stand for pro-tecting equality of states, provided that theymeet the obligations imposed on them. As SirWatts argues, “over the past half century inparticular, significant changes have occurredin the law relating to State immunity. Practicalneeds have led to a re-evaluation of the roleof the State in today’s international communi-ty. Older notions of their absolute entitlementto immunity are giving way to a more qualifiedview”29. According to Fox, “[a]nother factor atwork in the dismantling of the WestphalianState is the increased significance given to theindividual and the fundamental interests ofeach human being. Whilst those interests maynot necessarily be protected by a process orinstitution other than the State, a perceptionhas emerged that such interest cannot nec-essarily be subordinated to the State inter-est...”30 A conclusion follows that developmentof international law and law of human rightsdoes not permit shielding behind state sover-eignty in order to excuse perpetrations of hor-rific human rights atrocities.

As the Essay will demonstrate, idea of in-violability of state sovereignty is no longer thatintegral, when protection of human beings frommass violations of human rights is at stake.Development of human rights law, introduc-tion of an idea of humanitarian interventionand no plea of immunities whatsoever beforeinternational tribunals signals this. Concernmust be expressed in relation to domestic tri-bunals that are not entitled to fully exerciseuniversal jurisdiction and the concept of judg-ing criminal leaders is basically confined tojudicial institutions created under internation-al authority31. Writing in 1994 Sir Watts noted,that “it is […] to be cautious about the extentto which a restrictive rule of State immunity issufficiently generally supported throughoutthe international community to be yet estab-lished as a rule of customary international law:the trend towards adoption of the restrictiveview is strong, but it cannot yet be said to en-joy consensus.32

Advancement of human rights law in 20th

century determined support of human rightsmore than inviolability of certain highest levelstate officials, representing a state and thuscovered by different immunities. This trans-formation was accompanied with the march ofdevelopment of human rights notion since theWorld War II: human rights are no longer “do-mestic matter of a state.”33

Therefore, it follows that despite huge im-portance attaching to the protection of sover-eign equality of states, protection of human be-ings from atrocities must be valued more andpolitical consideration shall be determined andto certain extent substituted by considerationsof necessity of protection of humans from theevil emanating in many cases from own government.

Meanwhile, concept of humanitarian inter-vention seems to have emerged and evensecured support of a number of respected in-ternational law scholars34, not to mention thesupport of states which recognize this conceptas lawful. Now developments also move to-wards recognizing “outlaw” states35. Observ-ing these novelties, it can be argued that pro-tection of immunities can not stay uncondition-ally intact. If the international community candecide to “outlaw” the states leaders of whichperpetrate international crimes, an argumentfollows that domestic courts of the same statesmay be permitted to exercise universal juris-diction to prosecute the perpetrators, disre-

garding the different immunities they may havethe benefit of.

The subsequent chapters of the Essay willfocus on correlation of notion of immunitiesand individual criminal responsibility for inter-national crimes on the one hand and relative-ly newly emerged concepts of humanitarianintervention on the other. However, it is impor-tant to mention them at this stage as well, todemonstrate that the old notion of state sov-ereignty has lost its original importance notonly in relation to separate individuals (despitetheir rank), but in relation to entire countries,in a sense of entire territories within a givenstate boundaries. Comparison of these no-tions will once again demonstrate that conceptof immunities may not be appealed to so cou-rageously any more, as these newly material-ized notions incur and imply responsibility ofnot only individual criminal leaders of any giv-en sovereign state, but “punishment” of en-tire state. Consequently, it may be concludedwithout restraint that even if immunities andprotection of sovereign equality of states didmatter more than protection of human beingsfrom massive atrocities, this does not hold trueany more.

III. HOW DOES THE NOTION OF INDIVIDUAL

CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR GRAVE

INTERNATIONAL CRIMES CORRELATE

WITH IMMUNITIES?

A problem related to prosecuting criminalleaders protected by immunities and involvedin perpetration of international crimes emerg-es as a rule when exercise of universal crimi-nal jurisdiction by domestic courts of states isconsidered. Surfacing question in this regardis as follows: Can it be claimed that interna-tional law has always straightforwardly sup-ported absolute immunity and inviolability ofthe highest ranking “well-protected”36? To an-alyze this, an overview of recognition of indi-vidual criminal responsibility for internationalcrimes is apt: examining advancement of theconcept of individual criminal responsibility ofhigh ranking state officials gives a possibilityto glance over the progress in developing thenotion of charging and judging the criminalleaders for international crimes, irrespectiveof their immunities and privileges. These trans-formations served as considerable challengeto the idea of state immunity in respect of in-

Page 70: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

ternational crimes perpetrated by those rep-resenting state and claiming respective immu-nity from prosecution37.With the gradual de-velopment of human rights doctrine ploddingerosion of doctrine of sovereign immunity tookplace.

It is broadly accepted that the NurembergCharter and its Judgment stand as corner-stones in recognizing the concept of individu-al criminal responsibility for internationalcrimes, including of those protected by immu-nities. However, before the Nuremberg trialsthere was the Versailles Treaty38 and for ouranalysis it is important to mention that the firstwave of change was noticed already after theWorld War I39, when the Kaiser Wilhelm II wasannounced to be falling under the jurisdictionof a “special tribunalp constituted to try theaccused.”40 The Report of the Commission onthe Responsibilities of the Authors of the Waron the Enforcement of Penalties further stat-ed: “… the Commission desire to state ex-pressly that in the hierarchy of persons inauthority, there is no reason why rank, how-ever exalted, should in any circumstances pro-tect the holder of it from responsibility whenthat responsibility has been established be-fore a properly constituted tribunal. This ex-tends even to the case of heads of states”.41

Though this was a considerable challenge tothe notion of state sovereignty at the earlystage of change of perception in this regard,the Report of the Commission further “pro-posed the establishment of a high tribunalcomposed of judges drawn from many nations,and included the possibility of the trial beforethat tribunal of a former head of a state withthe consent of that state itself secured by ar-ticles in the Treaty of Peace.”42 The reserva-tion referring to the “consent of [the] state”can be understood if we take into consider-ation level of development of the concept ofindividual criminal responsibility for grave in-ternational crimes of persons covered by im-munities at the time when the Versailles Trea-ty was concluded. Despite this reservation, thestated principle remains to be an importantbreakthrough in the perception of interrela-tion of state sovereignty and protection ofhumans from outrageous carnage. The sameReport further noted: “If the immunity of a sov-ereign […] would involve laying down the prin-ciple that the greatest outrages against thelaws and customs of war and the laws of hu-

manity, if proved against him, could in no cir-cumstances be punished […] such a conclu-sion would shock the conscience of civilizedmankind.”43

Thus, even though in an extremely rudi-mentary form and even though, never real-ized in practice, the conclusions after theWorld War I recognized possibility of neglect-ing the absolute protection of sovereign im-munity and subjecting even Sovereign to pros-ecution for exceptional outrages.44 Thereforethe Versailles Treaty stands out for its initialand at that time unprecedented recognitionof criminal responsibility of a head of state.

The next positive development in relationto disregarding the claim of immunities wasmarked at Nuremberg, where prosecution ofthe highest level state representatives for in-ternational crimes took place. “The [IMT] Char-ter did… establish unequivocally, the princi-ple of individual criminal responsibility underinternational criminal law… irrespective of anymandates under national law, and irrespec-tive of the doctrine of Act of State and otherimmunities...”45

The pronouncement by the NurembergTribunal of individual criminal responsibility forinternational crimes was not an end to devel-opment of this concept. Developments in in-ternational law prompted a need for furtherelaboration of the principles, and the Nurem-berg Principles46 followed, reaffirming impor-tance and overall recognition of a principle ofcriminal responsibility of leaders perpetratinginternational crimes.

As Cassese argues, “[t]he traditional rulewhereby senior State officials may not be heldaccountable for acts performed in the dis-charge of their official duties was significantlyundermined after the Second World War, wheninternational treaties and judicial decisionsupheld the principle that this ‘shield’ no long-er protects those senior State officials accusedof war crimes, crimes against peace, or crimesagainst humanity. More recently, this princi-ple has been extended to torture and otherinternational crimes.”47 The re-establishedworld order needed some more time to onceagain return to the principle recognized by theArticle 7 of the International Military TribunalCharter and try highest ranking state officials,when they ignored plea for justice of thou-sands of their own or other states’ nationalsand perpetrated international crimes.

only happened in the late 20th century, whenthe Security Council of the United Nations de-cided to create ad hoc international tribunalsand try perpetrators of international crimes inthe former Yugoslavia48 and Rwanda49. “Thecustomary international law character of therule that a head of State cannot plead his of-ficial position as a bar to criminal liability forgenocide, war crimes, and crimes against hu-manity before an international tribunal hasbeen confirmed by a Chamber of the Interna-tional Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugo-slavia (ICTY) in ruling that in accordance withArticle 7.1 of its statute the ICTY has jurisdic-tion over President Milosevic, even though thegenocide and other international crimes al-leged were committed at a time when he wasserving as head of State of the Federal Re-public of Yugoslavia.”50 Following the lines ofdevelopment of the two ad hoc tribunals, thepermanent International Criminal Court, estab-lished by the Rome Statute, also recognizedimpossibility of a plea of immunities by the offe-nders falling under the scope of the Statute51.

Thus, as this cursory overview witnesses,recognition of the individual criminal respon-sibility of the high ranking state officials maybe argued to be a settled practice. Problememerges in correlation of universal jurisdictionwith immunities in respect with tribunals thatare to prosecute high ranking officials, includ-ing heads of states for international crimes.Tribunals, that have prosecuted leaders ofsovereign states where international, or atleast “internationalized”. This developmentmust start shifting and should move towardsnational, domestic courts. It is noticeable alsothat prosecutions of those covered by immu-nities were permitted to either victoriousstates, or were commissioned by the UnitedNations Security Council. It is essential to pointthis out, as antagonists to the idea of univer-sal jurisdiction for international crimes andthus, of subjecting those covered by differentimmunities to jurisdiction of national courts ofany state frequently argue that granting do-mestic courts this jurisdiction might involvepolitical abuse of power and serve as a polit-ical tool against leaders of other sovereignstates. This argument may be easily eliminat-ed by contrasting the state of affairs when anynation is entitled to exercise universal juris-diction with the one, when only “privileged”nations, would that be victorious nations or

maximum 15 countries occupying their seatsin the Security Council of the United Nationsare entitled to decide respective principles ofprosecution. Even more can the political pow-er be abused by the Permanent Five mem-bers of the Security Council, which are alwaysin a position to partake in decision makingprocesses related to the most important as-pects of the world development52. Concernsrelated to the political abuse of power maystem from any activity, as this was clearly dem-onstrated by the antagonism of the UnitedStates in relation to the permanent Interna-tional Criminal Court. Granting to the domes-tic courts universal jurisdiction over interna-tional crimes and recognizing their capacity toprosecute any leader of any state exclusivelyfor perpetration of this type of crimes must beconsidered as a possibility which would ensurebetter possibilities of bringing all perpetratorsto justice.

It must also be noted that the Report ofthe Versailles Commission mentions a “prop-erly constituted tribunal”, not “an internation-al tribunal” when referring to judging Kaiser.Even though the following statement might bechallenged by supporters of inviolability ofthose enjoying immunities, referring to the men-tioned report it may still be argued, that it isnot necessarily needed to have an interna-tionally constructed tribunal to judge thoseprotected by immunities, but individual crimi-nal responsibility of this type of defendants maybe falling under universal jurisdiction, i.e. do-mestic courts of any state, despite link with acommitted crime, perpetrator or a victim, mustbe entitled to bring them to justice.

O’Neil goes further and argues that “anargument can also be made through the anal-ogy to diplomatic immunity that both currentand former heads of state do not have immu-nity for acts that violate international law.”53 Shegoes on in comparing and concludes: “just assending state can waive the immunity of a dip-lomat who acts outside the scope of his offi-cial duties, a head of state who violates hisofficial duties by committing internationalcrimes may be regarded as waiving his ownimmunity. This form of “waiver”, which couldbe considered automatic for acts in violationof international law, would be stricter than thatof diplomatic immunity because the sendingstate can choose not to waive immunity for itsdiplomats.”54

Analyzing the circumstances surroundingcreation of the International Criminal Tribunalfor the Former Yugoslavia and the InternationalCriminal Tribunal for Rwanda it can be con-cluded that sovereignty of both – the formerYugoslavia and Rwanda were disregarded bythe respective decisions of the Security Coun-cil, when the human rights situation in bothcountries reached a point of extreme abnor-mality, and international community decidedto deal with the most appalling human rightssituations. Following the same line of argumen-tation, as employed when considering thementioned cases, it can be easily argued thatwhen the situation is so harsh in terms of hu-man rights abuses that the perpetrated actsequal to international crimes, the prosecutionof these crimes must be entrusted to any na-tional court, “pproperly constructed”, as men-tioned by the Versailles Conclusion, to bringperpetrators to justice by all means available,and as soon as possible. This is not only im-portant for the prosecution of already com-mitted crimes, but this may also play a role ofdeterrent and contribute to preventing futureatrocities. Realizing the importance of theseactions, as well as considering the fact thatsovereign equality of states has already beennot once violated by other states, being thatthrough decisions of the Security Council orby way of organizing the “victors’ justice” ori-ented tribunals, it is not legitimate to arguethat prosecution of international crimes bynational courts of any state, irrespective of abone with the perpetrated crime will be an ac-tion directed against sovereign equality ofstates.

Recent developments have given evenmore reason to consider the judicial settlementof this issue in any domestic court more rea-sonable and both – legally and morally justifi-able. The developments that are reviewed inthe following Chapter are much more contro-versial than the idea of prosecuting criminalleaders of any sovereign state by anothermight be. So called “humanitarian intervention”will be analyzed in order to contrast them withthe possibility of undertaking criminal prose-cutions, disregarding the pleas of immunity andshowing that there may be worse threats tosovereignty of states than prosecution ofindividual – however highly placed – perpe-trators.

IV. UNIVERSAL JURISDICTION AND A NEW

ATTEMPT TO PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS –

HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION?

To prosecute any perpetrator of humanrights atrocities, a respective jurisdiction55 mustbe established. This Chapter will briefly intro-duce a topic of jurisdiction, as protection ofsovereign equality of states is also related tothe concept of jurisdictions: “Jurisdiction con-cerns the power of the state to affect people,property and circumstances and reflects thebasic principles of state sovereignty, equalityof states and non-interference in domesticaffairs. Jurisdiction is a vital and indeed cen-tral feature of state sovereigntyp”.56 A notionof jurisdiction falls within the scope of the in-terest of this essay, and is dealt with in thisChapter, as much as it is argued in the essaythat criminal responsibility for internationalcrimes must by all means be subject to “uni-versal jurisdiction”, and thus, sovereign immu-nities may not be claimed as a shield for thehighest level perpetrators of such crimes.Shaw argues, that “pwhile jurisdiction is closelylinked with territory it is not exclusively so tied.Many states have jurisdiction to try offencesthat have taken place outside their territory...”57

Shaw further states that “[diplomats], for ex-ample, have extensive immunity from the lawsof the country in which they are working andvarious sovereign acts by states may not bequestioned or overturned in the courts of aforeign country”.58

Of all the principles of jurisdiction the uni-versality principle is of interest for the purposesof this essay. Universal Jurisdiction59 “is at a turn-ing point”, argues Broomhall,60 mentioning that“this doctrine stands poised to become an inte-gral, albeit supplemental component of theemerging international justice system. At thesame time, serious obstacles stand in the wayof its realization as a consistently available toolof fair and impartial enforcement”.61 These diffi-culties derive mainly from the continued asser-tion of sovereign immunity and granting it quitean importance in international relations. Univer-sal jurisdiction is an interesting concept for thepurposes of this Essay, as it disregards the dif-ferent mechanisms of protection and providesa possibility for domestic courts of any state tobring perpetrators of international crimes to jus-tice, despite the nexus the committed crimes mayhave with a prosecuting state. It can be argued

though that exercising universal jurisdiction maynot be considered to be widely supported.

Development of relatively recent notion ofhumanitarian intervention62 is interesting forthe purposes of this essay, as it serves as atool of further erosion of a concept of sover-eign immunity for the sake of dealing with themass human rights atrocities in any given stateafter all other legal and political means haveproven to be inefficient. This new concept isconsidered to be emerging due to the veryfact that international crimes so severely vio-late essential human rights that it is not per-missible for the international community notto intervene, even by using force and thuspunish the perpetrators. Consequently aquestion emerges: if humanitarian interven-tion may be justified to protect human rights,what is so unacceptable in recognizing uni-versal jurisdiction over international crimes andinstead of letting causing even more devas-tating results for the general population of anygiven country, leaders of which might be im-plicated in committing international crimes, tosubject these leaders to universal jurisdictionand bring them to justice in any state physi-cally capable to do so? The benefits of suchchange in practice seem to be the following: acriminal leader receives deserved punishment,prosecution is targeted and instead of involv-ing risk to lives of groups, already victimizedby policies or conducts of criminal leaders onlythose “deserving” are hold to account. In thiscase prosecution is targeted and victims cansee that justice is served, whereas by exercis-ing humanitarian intervention even more in-nocent people become victims along with thosegroups that might already have been victims ofperpetrators.

Therefore, the question remains: if huma-nitarian intervention can be tolerated in particu-larly exceptional situations, when the scale andcharacter of perpetration is extremely abhor-rent, why can not the prosecution of thoseprotected by immunities for perpetration ofinternational crimes by courts of other statesbe considered as not infringing sovereign equ-ality of states and thus, make it possible to stripoff immunities from those deserving so due totheir activities, notwithstanding their rank?

If there is a risk of political misuse and ifstates need more assurance of impartialitythan this can be guaranteed by a nationalcourt of any given state, the Security Council

of the United Nations may be entrusted to makea decision over criminal leaders and situationsthey create and recognize them subjected to“universal jurisdiction”, as their activities inflictgross human rights atrocities, causing “threatto international peace and security”.

Whatever motivation behind and justifica-tion for humanitarian intervention, it may notbe considered to be fitting any of the recog-nized concepts of jurisdiction. It can not beargued that by possibly developing this con-cept further and making it a rule of interna-tional law, even if used in very exceptional sit-uations, it would cause less harm to state sove-reignty than recognition of exercise of univer-sal jurisdiction over international crimes, dis-regarding the status of the perpetrator. Thedevelopment of international and human rightslaws evidence the need for progressive deve-lopment of universally recognized principles.

Thus, a signal stemming from the emerg-ing concept of humanitarian intervention, thatmass human rights violations may serve as agood cause to disregard sovereign equalityof states and intervene in seemingly “domes-tic” matters, may lead to a conclusion that atthe current stage of development of the con-cept of human rights protection it may perfectlybe possible to subject even the highest rank-ing perpetrators of international crimes to uni-versal jurisdiction along with already existingpossibilities of prosecution, including the pros-ecution according to the “complementarity”principle63 of the International Criminal Court64.

Therefore, the conclusion follows: if thereis a real political will and devotion to the pro-tection of human beings from atrocities, con-stituting international crimes, there will be apossibility to find way out from a maze of pro-tection of sovereign immunity and sovereignequality notions and bring perpetrators of in-ternational crimes to justice as deserved, toserve the interests of justice, to work as deter-rent for future atrocities and to give survivedvictims at least a bit of hope of the future.

V. AFTER ALL THE ABOVE DISCUSSED, WHAT DID

COURT RULE IN THE PINOCHET CASE?

Due to the limited format of the essay, thecontent of the case65 will not be considered indetails: a limited discussion of the case willsuffice for the purposes of the essay. Thecase has been selected due to the following

Page 74: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

consideration: Pinochet case is recognized asthe first – and precedent creating case – al-lowing exercise of jurisdiction of a nationalcourt, not having any nexus with the perpe-trated crimes and not recognizing the immuni-ty of a former head of state in relation to inter-national crimes committed by him when in of-fice as a head of state. The criminal actionconsidered by the House of Lords as the onenot fitting the list of actions over which thesovereign immunity must still be claimed, istorture, an international crime, an act so hei-nous that punishment of a perpetrator may beallowed under universal jurisdiction. Still, thedecision of the House of Lords was very limit-ed and reserved66. It can still be consideredas a state-centered decision, not the humanrights oriented one. “Although at first glanceit appears as though the judges did not re-spect Chile’s sovereignty because they deniedimmunity without any explicit waiver of immu-nity, each judge was cognizant of the sover-eignty question and justified the lack of theimmunity defense on the basis that Chile hadsigned it away.”67 As argued elsewhere, “thePinochet decision speak[s] to the continuedascendancy of politics and state sovereigntyin the current international legal order”.68

At any rate, the case is interesting for thepurposes of this essay, as the majority in theFirst Pinochet Case concluded that “internationallaw has made plain that certain types of con-duct, including torture and hostage-taking, arenot acceptable conduct on the part of any-one. This applies as much to heads of state,or even more so, as it does to everyone else;the contrary conclusion would make a mock-ery of international law.”69 The six to one ma-jority of the House of Lords in the Third Pi-nochet Case held that Pinochet could not haveclaimed immunity for actions perpetratedagainst the Torture Convention.70

Peter Carter puts a question: “Can it besaid that as a result of the Pinochet decisionthere has now emerged a peremptory law ofgeneral international law inconsistent with dip-lomatic immunities contained in any treatiesinsofar as they might appear to extend to in-ternational crimes against human rights?” andhis answer is extremely concise: “Possibly”.71

As Christine M. Chinkin aptly mentions,“[d]enial of the immunity … claimed for aformer head of state for official acts of torturerepresented a choice between two visions of

international law: a horizontal system basedupon the sovereign equality of states and avertical system that upholds norms of jus co-gens such as those guaranteeing fundamen-tal human rights. The choice was not easy”.72

As the issue of sovereign immunities is afairly controversial issue, there are differentviews on the matter as well. “Writing criticallyof the Lords’ decision in the Pinochet case,Henry Kissinger talks of the tyranny of judgesreplacing that of government, of prosecutori-al discretion without accountability and warnsthat ‘historically the dictatorship of the virtuoushas often led to inquisitions and witch hunts’”.73

When discussing yet another interestingcase for our purposes – a case of Yerodia74,Yang notes that “[w]hile affirming absoluteimmunity from criminal jurisdiction and invio-lability enjoyed by incumbent Ministers forForeign Affairs, the Court avoided taking aposition on the legality of the purported exer-cise of universal jurisdiction by Belgium. How-ever, since the Court approached the issue ofimmunity by assuming that Belgium had uni-versal jurisdiction under international law, thecase definitely shows that, in international law,universal jurisdiction is circumscribed by cer-tain rules, notable among which is the rule ofimmunity.”75 It has also been observed that“[t]he problemp is that there is a considerableuncertainty as to the present international lawrelating to Heads of State and Government.”76

This uncertainty needs to be solved in favourof human rights protection, making States toabandon their egoistic desires to protect them-selves from prosecutions. Protection of humanrights must be given a priority and this is es-pecially so in relation to crimes, termed “inter-national”. Therefore, a principle of prosecu-tion for international crimes must be recog-nized as a principle coexisting with universaljurisdiction and all states must be entitled toexercise their jurisdiction over perpetrators ofsuch crimes, disregarding the status of theperpetrator or any nexus of the crime with theprosecuting state. Unfortunately, the situationis not like this yet77, and as Fox notes, “abso-lute immunity from criminal jurisdiction andpersonal inviolability afforded to serving Headsof State in office … appear to be generally inline with current state practice”.78 Deriving fromthe judgment of the ICJ, “the immunities un-der customary international law, includingthose of Ministers for Foreign Affairs, remain

opposable before the courts of a foreign State,even where those courts exercise an extend-ed criminal jurisdiction on the basis of variousinternational conventions on the preventionand punishment of certain serious crimes.”79

The Court “conclude[d] that immunity does notmean impunity.” Unfortunately, however, this isexactly what it means. The four grounds enu-merated by the International Court of Justice80

almost never work. As Yang argues, “in seek-ing to exercise universal jurisdiction over aforeign State or a foreign national who maybenefit from State immunity, a domestic courthas to satisfy two conditions: first, that thecourt has universal jurisdiction, as conferredby international law; and second, that the for-eign State or the individual does not enjoyimmunity under the circumstances.”81 This isexactly the problem. The law and state prac-tice must develop in a manner to overcomethe principle according to which the high rank-ing officials of other states use immunities asa shield to avoid prosecution for internationalcrimes, when the four circumstances enumer-ated by the ICJ do not work in practice andthey stay at large, not bearing responsibilityfor most terrible atrocities.

As it was underlined already, the VersaillesTreaty recognized a possibility of trying a stateleader implicated in perpetration of egregiouscrimes. Pinochet case, even though, very lim-ited in its conclusions, must be considered asa guideline and a precedent creating case inthe efforts against impunity of the highest lev-el state officials. However, the concept of hold-ing the criminal leaders accountable for inter-national crimes anywhere, so that they are notable to enjoy impunity in any part of the world,disrespecting nexus of a crime perpetrated bythem to the state prosecuting them, must turnto be a rule of customary international law andstates may not be able to claim their sover-eign immunity when putting to justice their crim-inal leaders. The Versailles Treaty and Nurem-berg prosecutions laid a good ground for mak-ing this reality. Now, as the sufficient time haspassed and the human rights law has devel-oped well enough to protect human beingsfrom the massive atrocities perpetrated bytheir or other states’ criminal leaders, questfor justice may not be shadowed by alreadyarchaic conception of absolute protection ofsovereign immunities. Before making human-itarian intervention a finally settled rule of in-

ternational law, it would be much more appro-priate and practical to recognize universal ju-risdiction over international crimes, perpetrat-ed by high level state officials, when servingtheir term of office and give them as less pos-sibilities to shield behind armours of protec-tion of immunities as possible.

VI. CONCLUSION: SHALL IMMUNITIES

CONTINUE TO STAND ON THE WAY TO

THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RI\GHTS?

The essay has demonstrated that protec-tion of sovereign equality of states and invio-lability of sovereign immunities has been sub-jected to considerable restrictions throughoutthe 20th century. Development of human rightslaw has prompted and necessitated consider-able changes in the field. As the law progress-es, the development of protection mechanismsfrom atrocities must evolve further, and statesmust recognize the importance of prosecutionof the criminal leaders for the atrocities theyperpetrate misusing their official capacity andinfluence, as well as a state apparatus for that.

If the right of humanitarian interventionmay be recognized as an appropriate mecha-nism to employ, when the human rights atroc-ities reach unimaginable scales, internationallaw must allow breach of sovereign immunityand individual criminal responsibility under theuniversal jurisdiction of acting heads of states,as well as other high level state officials, pro-tected by immunity. Law must develop in a wayto allow individual criminal responsibility for atleast international crimes to fall under univer-sal jurisdiction and not to let criminal leadersto escape justice and seek safe heaven whenthe relatively minor perpetrators receive pun-ishment.

It may be enquired, if may there be anyinternational organization able to pronounceon lifting the immunity ratione personae fromalleged perpetrators? The Security Council ofthe United Nations could be such an organ.“The United Nations Security Council is man-dated, under Chapter VII of the United NationsCharter, to deal with threats to, or breachesof, international peace and security. Oftensuch threats or breaches may and indeed doresult from, among other things, seriouscrimes.”82 The Nuremberg Tribunal recognizedthe individual criminal responsibility for theatrocities of all sorts of political leaders. The

subsequent practice of the UN SC has shownthat the situation with regard to the humanrights protection has been recognized as athreat to international peace and security andinternational criminal tribunals have been setup by the UN to judge leaders of individualstates notwithstanding their sovereign equal-ity with other states. If the Security Councildecide that a threat to or a breach of peaceand security are caused by the actions of highlevel officials which at the same time causehuman rights atrocities, the Security Councilshall be authorized along with other measuresto pronounce that these criminal leaders fallunder universal jurisdiction and may be pros-ecuted for commission of international crimesby courts of any nation. The Security Councilcan rule this even in respect of the criminalleaders or high ranking officials even when theyare still in office.

The Statute of the International CriminalCourt recognizes possibility of lifting the im-munity of those leaders in order to punishthem for international crimes. Therefore, theconclusion that the universal jurisdiction overcrimes belonging to the group of “internation-al crimes” must be recognized, giving worldcommunity a possibility to prosecute and judgecriminal leaders for human rights atrocities andthe Security Council (as a political body) aswell as the International Court of Justice (as ajudicial body) can be well used as balancinginternational bodies able to oversee and con-trol the maintenance of sovereign equalityamong states, but at the same time, ensuringthat the most heinous atrocities do not go un-punished due to legal limitations and gaps.

Conclusion: sovereign equality of states,immunity of heads of states and other highranking policy makers does not mean thategregious human rights atrocities shall be tol-erated and allowed by them. If the theory ofhumanitarian intervention seems to be emerg-ing and becoming an established form of in-tervention into domestic matters of sovereignstates, when the human tragedy reaches un-imaginable scale, when there is a principle ofuniversal jurisdiction existing for the most atro-cious crimes, the right of any state to try thehighest ranking officials must be recognizedas a solid rule of law and must be observed atall times to serve justice and protect thousands

from undeserved violation of their rights. TheIdea of human rights protection has alreadytransgressed state boundaries and has be-come a concern of wider international com-munity. Promotion and protection of victims ofatrocities is particularly attracting speeches ofpolitical leaders and has become a part of atleast the declared political agendas of themighty. Apart from technical problems, relat-ed to apprehension and serving sentencesthere shall not be any additional prescriptionsbarring prosecution of highest ranking officials,responsible for mass human rights atrocities.After all, do any of the immunities cost a thingvis-À-vis the outcry of victims of mass atroci-ties? In the era of human rights protection judg-ing only lower-ranking criminals and allowingthose who mastermind and direct mass hu-man rights atrocities to claim immunities mustnot be tolerated. At the same time, a group ofpeople entitled to the immunities may be ex-panded, taking into account the contemporarydevelopments of interstate relations and theremay be more perpetrators emerging shield-ing behind the immunity in the age when hu-manitarian intervention for the most outra-geous crimes seem to be becoming a part ofcontemporary international law.

In the world, where human rights protec-tion is no longer considered to be exclusivelyinternal matter of a sovereign state, whereelections monitoring is undertaken by inter-national observers and international organi-zations can reach as far as prison cells in anygiven state, the notion of state immunity andinviolability of state officials responsible forgravest human rights atrocities shall not bestaying outside the reach of any state and with-in the compound of sovereign state, whichmost probably will do nothing to deal with thematter. Atrocities must be punished. Only adhoc international criminal tribunals will not suf-fice to achieve this goal. The “complementar-ity” principle of the International Criminal Courthas its negative sides. Therefore, recognitionof universal criminal jurisdiction over mostegregious – or international crimes – must bethe way forward and towards recognition ofunavoidable punishment. Those deservingmust be punished and state immunity can notbe shamelessly be used to escape the de-served punishment.

JURISDICTION OF THE COASTAL STATE OVER THE SHIPOF FOREIGN STATE IN THE INTERNAL WATERS AND

THE TERRITORIAL SEAS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNITEDNATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA OF 1982

INTRODUCTION

As it was stated by Mr. Tommy B. Koh,President of the Third United Nations Confer-ence on the Law of the Sea, in December 101982,1 new record in the history of jurispru-dence has been created.2

The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea3

adopted by the conference, together with oth-er values has rather important characteristics:The Convention does not give an opportunityto any State irrespective of its geographic sit-uation, political strength and level of marinedevelopment to enjoy only the rights and notto be bound with relevant obligations beforethe less developed and weak States. And onemore important aspect is that it has played thegreatest role in creation of new norms andmany of these norms have become the normsof customary law. The Convention is consid-ered as comprehensive political and legal pa-per, which includes directives for internation-al relations, policy and law. It establishes newinternational control over the world ocean.4

The aim of this paper is to discuss the Ar-ticles of the Convention on the jurisdiction ofthe coastal State over the ship of foreign Statein its internal waters and the territorial seas,in the present format, where the coastal Stateshave recognized sovereignty, though thescopes of this sovereignty and execution ofown laws by the States becomes a subject ofdispute.

The most serious conflicts in the field ofthe law of the sea has taken place as a resultof intersection of these two fundamental prin-ciples – territorial sovereignty and indepen-dence of the seas.5

INTERNAL WATERS

Activity of any State on domestic or inter-national level is based on the principle of sov-ereignty. The problem arises when interestsof one or more sovereign subjects of interna-tional law intersect each other.

As the territorial sovereignty entitles aState to exercise its jurisdiction in the mostcomprehensive manner, the central role is giv-en to determine to what level the influence ofthe coastal State extends.

Baselines perform this function, i.e. providefor an opportunity of measurement in order todetermine where the coastal State has an ab-solute jurisdiction and where it exercises itsrights simultaneously with other States.

Due to the most of coastlines of the Statesare indented, fringed by the islands, gulfs ormouths of river, ports and etc. there are twotypes of baselines normal and straight.

In accordance with Article 5 of the Con-vention, baselines used for measuring thebreadth of the territorial sea is the low-waterline along the coast as marked on large-scalecharts officially recognized by the coastal State.

Following to Article 8 of the Convention,waters on the land ward side of the baselineof the territorial sea form part of the internali.e. national waters of the State, from whichthe breadth of the territorial sea and all otherzones are measured. Therefore, internal wa-ters include gulfs, mouths of river, ports, is-lands etc.6

The coastal State while considering theissue of jurisdiction, first of all should deter-mine whether all ships enjoy the same statusor not. Following to the Convention warshipsand other government ships operated for non-

Page 94: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

commercial purposes enjoy full immunity fromthe jurisdiction of the coastal State.7 This prac-tice is not an innovation and reflects well es-tablished norm of the customary law.

Codification of this issue first was initiatedby the Brussels Convention “for the Unifica-tion of Certain Rules Concerning the Immuni-ty of State-owned Ships” of April 10, 1926.However, long before in 1873, In Charkiechcase the court established that, irrespectivethe fact whether the ship was owned by sov-ereign of semi sovereign State of Egypt andwas sailing under the flag of Ottoman Navy,its detention was not in conflict with the normsof international law, because in that particularcase the ship was used for commercial ship-ment. Namely, in resolution was noted that, ifa sovereign assumes the character of a trade,and sends a vessel belonging to him to thiscountry to trade here, he must be consideredto have waived any privilege which might oth-erwise attach to the vessel as the property ofthe sovereign...8

Although, the fact that warships and gov-ernment ships operated for non-commercialpurposes enjoy immunity from the jurisdictionof the coastal State, it does not release themfrom the obligation to respect and observe thelaws of the coastal State. Otherwise the coastalState is entitled to require violating ship to leaveinternal waters and the territorial sea. There-fore, the flag State shall bear responsibility forany caused damage.9

As regards to merchant marine, in inter-nal waters the coastal State in relation to themmay control the following: navigation, over-flight, fishing, scientific research, laying of sub-marine cables, processing of seabed, protec-tion of environment.

The majority of these issues are regulat-ed by the Convention, though only with respectto the territorial sea and the regime of the in-ternal waters remained open. Perhaps this isreasoned also by the fact that, the jurisdictionof the coastal State is completely extended,except few exceptions, when the coastal Statelimits its sovereignty in favor of the other Stateunder bilateral agreement. Consequently, thecoastal State in its internal waters may controlthe ship of foreign State likewise it would oc-cur at its land territory.10

As it is recognized that the internal waterswith their status are equalized to the land ter-ritory of a State, it is obvious that determina-

tion of its status may unlikely be the subject ofany international Convention.

It is general norm that foreign ships do nothave a right of navigation in internal waters.The issue of entry into the port is more dis-putable. In accordance with the customary lawthere is no norm which bounds the States toallow necessary entry to the ships of foreignStates into their ports.11 On the other hand inArbitrary decision of Aramco of 1958 is notedthat following to international law ports of eachcountry must be open for the ships of otherStates and they may be closed only when it isrequired by vital interests of the State of port.12

But in Nicaragua case the same court estab-lished that the State of a port taking into con-sideration its sovereignty may regulate acces-sibility to the ports.13 Although, the internationalports of the States is considered to be openfor international navigation of the ships (cer-tainly this does not refer to military ships), thisrule has not obtained the status of customarylaw norm. Each State determines the rule ofentry of the ships into the ports itself inde-pendently or on the basis of bilateral interna-tional agreements.14

First of all States are entitled to determinewhich ship may be granted with the right toenter into the port and secondly, the State mayclose a port for international navigation forsecurity purposes. In this case it is difficult toprove whether this is crucial interest of the Stateor not.

As stated above, the internal waters arethe part of the territory of a State and conse-quently jurisdiction of a coastal State extendsover the ships and their crew entered into theports. However, the jurisdiction of a flag State15

always extends over the ship, which causescertain collision of norms (or conflict of juris-dictions). There are two different approacheswith respect to this issue: French and Anglo-American.

French approach was established in re-lation to two American ships “Sally” and“Newton”, where the fight between the crewmembers took place. French court estab-lished that, in case of commitment of crimein a port on the board of a ship, if it onlyviolates internal regulations of a ship andrefers to the ship and a crew, local authori-ties shall not interfere, unless it has directaffect on the good order and security of theport and if request on assistance is received

from the ship. In relation to American Ship“Tempset” particular amendment has beenmade into this rule, when in Havre Port theassistant to the captain has killed one of thecrew members and wounded another one.In this case the Court exercised the jurisdic-tion, since the incident has disturbed thepeace.16

Anglo-American approach implies that incase of nonexistence of relevant agreement,each State shall exercise its jurisdiction overits internal waters. English courts, in the inter-nal waters of Great Britain declare completejurisdiction over the crew of ships of foreignStates. In “Regina v. Cunningham” case threeAmerican sailors were punished for assault onother sailor on a board of a ship, which wasanchoring nearby the coasts of England – be-cause the crime was committed on the territo-ry of England.17

The assertion of the fact that the merchantship shall be considered as a “sailing” territo-ry of flag State was resulting in conflict be-tween jurisdictions. However, this postulate isunreasonable especially, in so called “openregisters” era. Even in 1923 (this idea) wasrefused by the Supreme Court of the USA inCunard S.S. Co. v. Mellon case. Statementsometimes made that a merchant ship is a partof the territory of the country whose flag sheflies. But this, as has been aptly observed, is afigure of speech, a metaphor, is mainly appli-cable to ships on the high seas, where thereis no territorial sovereign, and as respectsships in foreign territorial waters, it has littleapplication beyond what is affirmatively or tac-itly permitted by the local sovereign.18

However, the abovementioned does notmean that jurisdiction of a flag State is comp-letely terminated, when the ship is in the in-ternal waters of a foreign State. In this caseso called “parallel jurisdictions” may be oper-ating. For example, the Court of the UnitedStates in Benz v. Compania Naviera Hidalgo,S.A. case established that, on dispute betweena foreign employer and a foreign crew the lawof the USA shall not be extended in the inter-nal waters of the latter in case when the onlyAmerican connection was that the ship was intransit passage in the United States port.19

Though, when the ship is staying in the USAwaters for a certain period, it is loading and/or unloading in the ports of the USA, the claim-

ant is the Citizen of the USA, the legislation ofthe USA shall definitely extend over the ship.20

In case of agrave crime, only the fact thata ship is standing in the port is a sufficientground for exercising the jurisdiction. Thisapproach has been noted in “Wildenhus”case, when a crew member of the Belgium shipkilled another member while the ship wasstanding in one of the ports of the USA.21

In accordance to the legislation of Geor-gia if the crime is committed on the territory ofGeorgia (including the internal waters) thecriminal jurisdiction of Georgia shall be ap-plied.22 However in the bilateral agreements itis noted that of the criminal law jurisdiction ofGeorgia extends over the ships of foreignStates in the ports of Georgia if: the results ofthe crime extends on the territory of Georgia,the security of the country in under the risk,the crime is committed by the citizen of Geor-gia or against him/her, or it is connected tothe illegal traffic of narcotics drugs. Georgiahas concluded such bilateral agreements withGreece, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Russia, Cyprus,Turkey, etc.23

As it is obvious from the aforementionedexamples, the States do not interfere in inter-nal regulation of the ship, in labour and civildisputes between the crew members.

In a viewpoint of exercising jurisdiction, inpassed decades the issues of environmentprotection acquired paramount importance. Ifwe take into consideration that the coastalarea – the most productive area of the sea –is mostly infringed by the harmful influence onthe marine environment,24 it does not aston-ish that upon the exercise of the jurisdictionby the States, the most importance is given tothe issues of protection of environment.

Problem regarding the protection of ma-rine environment especially gained its impor-tance from 60th-70th of XX century. In this re-spect in parallel with the increase of obliga-tion of a flag State the right of a coastal Stateto control the marine environment under itsjurisdiction, and exercise not only legislative,but executive jurisdiction, which is very impor-tant, is also increasing.

Although, there are numbers of sources,25

in the sphere of the present research onlymarine pollution from the ships is envisaged.Part XII of the Convention is devoted to theprotection of environment.26

Page 96: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

95

Following to the Convention, the Statesare entitled to establish particular require-ments for the prevention, reduction or controlof the pollution of the marine environment asa condition for the entry of foreign vessels intotheir ports.27

Jurisdiction of a coastal State includes theright to refuse the entry of foreign vessels intoits ports. However, in sucha case problematicis the issue of the ships being under distress.To what extent the coastal States are entitledto refuse them? In previous years the mostimportant case was Prestige case, when theGovernment of Spain refused the ship to en-ter into port, including for ecological safetyreasons, and afterwards the ship sank in theEEZ of Spain and polluted coast of Spain aswell as coasts of Portugal and France. Irre-spective of the serious incident, direct answeron this question still does not exist. Further-more practice and legislation of the States in-clines to the fact that, if the crew is rescued, aport State may have a good argument to refusethe entry of such vessel into the port.28

If ship pollutes the maritime zones of acoastal State, executive jurisdiction may beexercised against her in case of entry into itsport.29

In this case there is an essential conditionthat a vessel has entered voluntarily into aport. In such a case the coastal State may com-pletely undertake its legislation against thevessel.30 Therefore, the vessel which is forc-edly entered into a port does not fall underthe mentioned provision. In this case the samequestion may arise, whether the entry of avessel under the distress is considered vol-untarily or not? The Convention itself does notdefine either the term “under distress” norconditions of force majeure.

On the other hand Article 221 of the Con-vention entitles a coastal State to take mea-sures in order to avoid marine pollution fol-lowing upon a casualty. So, one can assumethat in specific case the coastal States mayapply this Article.

Contrary to vessels entered into the ports,the Convention does not provide for exerciseof executive jurisdiction over the vessels in theinternal waters. However, if we take into con-sideration the quality of sovereignty of a coast-al State in its internal waters, lack of such clar-ification is not essential.

TERRITORIAL SEA

The Convention recognises that, sover-eignty of a coastal State extends to the air spaceover the territorial sea as well as to its bed andsubsoil.31 However, after detailed study of Arti-cles of the Convention, it becomes clear thatthere is a difference between the exercising sov-ereignty over the territorial sea and the airspace. In particular, right to an innocent pas-sage in the territorial sea is implied, which sig-nificantly limits the jurisdiction of a coastal State.Namely the sovereignty of a coastal State doesnot extend over the vessels, staying at its terri-torial sea with innocent passage regime.

For the first time on ligislative level the Con-vention established the breadth of a territorialsea up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles.32

As regards to innocent passage – it enti-tles any ship of a coastal or non-coastal Statewhether merchant or military, to have an op-portunity of expeditious navigation regardlessof the breadth of territorial sea and type of sov-ereignty exercised by a coastal State over it.33

Furthermore, according to the Convention in-nocent passage includes not only active pas-sage, but stopping and anchoring, in so faras it is caused by ordinary navigation or forcemajeure conditions or for the purpose of res-cuing the life of persons or vessels at sea.34

Coastal State shall not hamper the inno-cent passage except in accordance with theConvention.35 However, in its territorial sea acoastal State is entitled to prevent the pas-sage of ship, which is not innocent or suspendit if such suspension is essential for securitypurposes.36

According to Article 19, paragraph 1 of theConvention “passage is innocent so long as itis not prejudicial to the peace, good order orsecurity of the coastal State”.

The Convention provides for a detailed listwhen the passage is not considered to be in-cessant and consequently, coastal State be-comes entitled to extend its jurisdiction overthe relevant ship. In particular, passage shallbe considered to be prejudicial to the peaceand security of the coastal State if it engagesin any of the following activities:1. Any threat or use of force against the sov-

ereignty, territorial integrity or political in-dependence of Georgia, or in any othermanner in violation of the principles andnorms of international law;

of communication and electronic systemsor other facilities or installations;

12. Any other activity not having a direct bear-ing on innocent passage.37

However, the right of innocent passagedoes not restrict the jurisdiction of coastalStates over such ships. In particular, the coast-al State is entitled to adopt laws and establishregulations on navigation and navigationalaids, as well as cables, living resources of thesea, fishing and other issues.38 Throughoutthe innocent passage, all ships are obliged toperform and observe laws and regulations ofa coastal State. But, the costal State shall notestablish discriminative rules with respect tothe flag or type of a ship.39

Following to the Convention, in exception-al cases the coastal State may suspend therights of innocent passage in specified areasof its territorial sea for the purposes of securi-ty protection of its country, or during the mili-tary exercises. But, such suspension shall bedone on non-discriminative basis and takeeffect only after having been duly published.40

Provisions of part XII of the Convention en-title the costal State to exercise executive juris-diction over the ship violating the regulationson the protection of maritime environment.41

The costal state is not entitled to prevent pas-sage unless a ship is polluting its territorial sea“wilfully and seriously”. Though, there is no anycommon criterion on the “serious” pollution andit depends on particular features of a coasts

and legislation of the coastal State, since thelater is entitled to adopt laws for the ships inthe regime of innocent passage, regarding theenvironmental protection. Although, in accor-dance with the same Convention, the coastalState whilst exercising its legislative jurisdictionis not entitled to adopt laws, which in fact re-stricts the right to an innocent passage.42 Forthe purposes of ensuring environmental pro-tection, following to Article 22 of the Conven-tion, the coastal State is entitled to establishsea lines and corridors for vessels ships, whichshall be applied by the latter during the inno-cent passage.

As regards to executive jurisdiction ofcoastal State, in accordance with paragraph2 of Article 220 of the Convention, a State isentitled to inspect or detain the ship, wherethe evidence warrants that while it was stay-ing in its territorial sea has violated the lawsof the State, regarding prevention, reductionand control of marine environment pollutionfrom the vessels adopted on the basis of in-ternational law. However, the abovementionedregulation shall be applied to vessels in of in-nocent passage, without prejudice to Articles 24and 27.

As it was stated above, in accordance withArticle 24, in the process of exercising legis-lative jurisdiction, the coastal State shall nothamper the right of innocent passage. Article27 provides for the terms of exercising crimi-nal jurisdiction on the territorial sea that willbe discussed below in more details.

During the innocent passage, regulationsadopted by the coastal State on introductionof permit system for innocent passage of ves-sel may be considered as an expression ofState sovereignty. Especially it refers to war-ships and nuclear-powered ships.43

Regarding to the criminal jurisdiction overthe territorial sea, Article 26 of the Conven-tion grants the State with the right to exerciseit only in three cases.

Firss case concerns the commitment of acrime on a board of a ship in innocent pas-sage, if:1. The consequences of the crime extend to

the coastal State;2. The crime is of a kind to disturb the peace

of the coastal State and/or the good orderin its territorial sea;

3. The assistance of the local authorities hasbeen requested by the captain of the ship

97

or by a diplomatic agent or consular offic-er of the flag State; and

4. Such measures are necessary for the sup-pression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugsor psychotropic substances.The second case refers to the situation

when the ship enters into the territorial seafrom internal waters where it has committed acrime. In this case the coastal State is entitledto take any measure against such vessel, i.e.its jurisdiction is not limited. It comes from theunlimited criminal jurisdiction of the coastalState in its internal waters.

The third case refers to ships, which havecommitted a crime before entering the territo-rial water from the high seas. In this case thecriminal jurisdiction of the coastal State doesnot extend except as provided in part XII ofthe Convention. the abovementioned regula-tion is based on the fundamental principle ofthe Law of the Sea stating that only flag Statejurisdiction is extended over the ship in thehigh sea.44

Under paragraph 2 of Article 220 of theConvention, the coastal State is entitled to in-spect or/and detain the vessel not only in caseof violation of its legislation on environmentalprotection, but in cases of violation of inter-national regulations and standards as well. Fi-nally in accordance with paragraph 2 of Arti-cle 25, the coastal State has the right to takenecessary steps to prevent breach of regula-tions on the entry into ports. Certainly, suchsteps may be undertaken in the territorial sea.

The example of Norway as one of the tra-ditional developed maritime State is interest-ing whilst discussing the issue of executivejurisdiction of the coastal State in the territori-al sea. According to its legislation vessel maybe detained for violation of local laws and reg-ulations in the territorial sea, among them,concerning manning and construction.45 How-ever, Article 22 of the Convention forbids thecoastal State to adopt law on manning andconstruction of vessels in innocent passagein a territorial sea.

In accordance with section 89 of the Codeof the USA on the Protection of Coast, thecoast guard personnel are entitled to exerciseexamination, inspection, investigation, deten-tion and arrest of vessels under the jurisdic-tion of the United State in order to execute thelaws of the United States.46 Furthermore, forexercising activities aimed at avoiding contra-

band outside from the coast, it is necessaryfor the coast guard of the USA to have juris-diction over the vessels as well as over theactions there in.47 If the officials of the coastguard of the USA discover the violations onUSA vessel or on a vessel under the jurisdic-tion of the USA, they are entitled to take thevessel into the port, arrest and/or fine respon-sible persons and confiscate the vessel itselfand/or impose a fine on it.48

HOT PURSUIT

One of the guarantees to exercise theexecutive jurisdiction by the coastal State, overthe internal waters and the territorial sea, isthe right of hot pursuit, which is granted underthe Convention. In accordance with Article 111of the Convention, hot pursuit may be under-taken when a foreign ship or her boats arewithin the internal waters, the territorial sea,the contiguous zone, the archipelagic watersof the pursuing State. The right of a hot pur-suit is one of the oldest norms of the custom-ary law of the sea. In cases such as ‘The I’mAlone’ case (1935)49 the customary law recog-nised the right of the coastal State to entitleits warships to exercise pursuit of a foreignship, if she has violated the law of the coastalState in its internal waters or the territorial sea,and to detain such a ship on the high sea. InBehring Sea Fur Seal arbitration it was estab-lished that, hot pursuit shall be immediate …and shall be in the frames of control.50

Article 111 of the Convention reflecting thecustomary law rule, stipulates that hot pursuitmay be undertaken when the competent au-thorities of the coastal State have a good rea-son to believe that the ship has violated thelaws and regulations of that State. However,the Convention does not provide for any dif-ference in relation to the quality of a violatedlaw.

However, it is strictly determined from whichzone and for what violation the pursuit maybe commenced. For example, it is prohibitedto commence the pursuit outside the contigu-ous zone, against a ship which did not observethe sanitary regulations in the territorial sea.

Together with the hot pursuit, the doctrineof constructive presence operates. In otherwords, it is not necessary the regulations tobe violated directly by the ship in internal wa-ters and/or territorial sea, but involvement of

its boat or crew members in illegal activities inthis zones is a good reason for the coastalState to exercise the hot pursuit.

In ‘the Araunah’ case the British Govern-ment noted that, although, the Canadian fish-ing vessel was not in the territorial sea andwas not participating in illegal fishing, its de-tention was justified because its sailors en-tered in the territorial sea of Russia by theboats and were fishing.51

A Persuing ship may take any necessaryand reasonable measure to detain the guiltyship. However, each country establishes itsown regulations regarding the procedure ofdetention of a guilty ship and person withinthe scopes of its jurisdiction.52 On the otherhand the compensation for any damagecaused as a result of illegal pursuit or illegaluse of force is established.53

Some authors deem that, the right of hotpursuit is a privilege54 which is granted to thecoastal State in case of violation of doubleobligations by the offender ship. First, whenship violates the local laws, and the secondwhen it refuses to surrender to local compe-tent authorities.55

While it is hot pursuit and it continues onthe high sea the issue of its conclusion doesnot depend on time and place. But if there isno special entitling agreement, the pursuitshall end when the pursued ship crosses theouter boarder of the territorial sea of any Stateother then the persuing State.56

Article 111.3 of the Convention strictlydetermines that the hot pursuit ceases andnot temporarily terminates when the ship pur-sued enters the territorial sea of any otherState. In other words perusing ship shall nothave a right to wait when the pursued shipleaves the territorial sea.57

Pursuit may be exercised only by a war-ship or an aircraft or a specially authorizedship for these purposes (ships of coastguards). Location of the pursued vessel forthe moment of commencement of pursuit is

less important, as it is not necessary for it tobe in the territorial sea or the contiguous zonefor the moment of commencement of pursuit.

CONCLUSION

The Convention managed to establishmore or less acceptable, universal regime foreveryone, when the territorial sovereignty ofcoastal State on the one hand, and freedomof navigation on the other hand are balanced.As it is noted in the commentary of the USA, itestablishes the balance between the coastaland maritime interests with respect to all mar-itime zones.58

First of all this balance has ensured pop-ularity of the Convention both in developedand developing States. This once again isproved in the address of the US President tothe Senate, where it is noted that, The UnitedState has a basic and long term national in-terest in the oceans and gradually came tothe opinion that complete protection of thisinterests can be best achieved by universallyrecognized international frame agreement,which manages the application of the seas.59

The convention has introduced new Arti-cles that have significantly extended the juris-diction of the coastal State not only in the in-ternal waters and the territorial seas, but alsoin other maritime zones. In particular, the normsrelating to the protection of maritime environ-ment is implied. Traditional scope of jurisdic-tion of the coastal State, mainly limited withcriminal law jurisdiction, has been significant-ly extended with the jurisdiction of environmen-tal protection. Moreover, it may be easily saidthat exactly this area is the most unified andeffective among all jurisdictions exercised bythe coastal States.

And finally the Convention not only grantsthe coastal States the jurisdiction over themaritime zones, but gives an opportunity toactually execute this jurisdiction, in particularby granting the right of hot pursuit.

the mass of the water falls within its borders, which previously was belonged tothe territorial sea. In this case the right of innocent passage is operating in theinternal waters. Its features will be discussed below in detail.

11 However, the State practice reviles that this norm is not performed, i.e. ships offoreign States are entitled to enter into the ports of other States without difficulties.

23 However, there is also a different approach. For example in the agreementbetween Russian Federation and Republic of Bulgaria on the merchant Shippingof May 15, 1995, it is noted that each contracting State shall be entitled to exercisecomplete jurisdiction over the ship of another contracting party entered into theport in case of commitment of any crime.

24 Moreover, nowadays more then a half of the world population is leaving in 100km sea coastline, in more then two thirds of the cities of more then 2.5 millionpopulations. Herewith for the year 2025 it was expected that 75% of the worldpopulation will live in the sea coastline. Please see United Nations Conventionon the Law of the Sea – 20th Anniversary (1982-2002).

ELENE SICHINAVA

“A REASONABLE TIME” REQUIREMENT(ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS)

INTRODUCTION

According to the Article 6 of the EuropeanConvention for the Protection of Human Rightsand Fundamental Freedoms consideration ofa case “by an independent and impartial tri-bunal established by law” is not yet enough aguarantee. In order to provide a fair trial, onemore condition shall be observed: the procee-dings shall take place “within a reasonable time”.

The problem of the lengthy proceedingsis a pressing issue for numerous EuropeanStates. This is also evidently based on the factthat the vast part of the judgments of the Eu-ropean Court of Human Rights actually refersto the violations of “a reasonable time”.

The issue is especially insistent in Geor-gia. Violating the procedural terms by the gen-eral courts of Georgia, especially by the civilchamber, and disregarding the Conventionalrequirement of “a reasonable time” has turnedto be the established practice.

The web-site of the Supreme Court ofGeorgia1 which is accessible to public, providesthe information about the cases consideredby our courts. Unfortunately, any of the casescould be used to prove the state of affairsmentioned above.

Why is it impossible to realize the right toa fair trail without “a reasonable time” guar-antee impossible and why was its inclusionmade necessary into the Convention?

“The observance of the requirement of areasonable time, first of all, falls within theperson’s interests, as well as within the inter-ests of due administration of justice”.2

“The purpose of a reasonable time guar-antee in criminal as well as other types of cas-es is the protection of all the parties to a casefrom protracted proceedings”.3

In a criminal case, a person, awaiting theverdict is maintained in a hazy situation for a

long time, is subjected to a strong pressure.In many cases a person feels more comfort-able after delivering even a tough verdict, thanhe is in anticipation of a verdict.4 At the sametime, “in such a case it is also to be taken intoaccount that having a status of an accusedinfluences person’s reputation”.5

In civil cases as well, for each of the par-ties to a case it is essentially important to havea timely adjudication. Frequently the decisionover a case is delivered so belatedly that itcan no more have an impact at the outcomeof the dispute.

Apart from this, administration of swift andefficient proceedings constitutes a public in-terest. A State must undertake all the measuresfor not having proceedings over a case for along time in order to save the State resources.

Finally, “this guarantee underlines the im-portance of administration of justice without adelay which threatens its efficiency and cred-ibility”.6

The European Convention for the Protec-tion of Human Rights and Fundamental Free-doms, being ratified by Georgia on 20 May,1999, became a part of our legislation.7 Evenmore, Georgia undertook an obligation tomake the entire Georgian legislation and prac-tice in line with the Convention requirements.8

It is important for us therefore to be sen-tient of the definition of this requirement asprovided by the European Court of HumanRights. According to its practice, where is thedividing line for a reasonable time in the pro-ceedings? What factors provide for protract-ing the proceedings? What measures shall beundertaken by a State to overcome this prob-lem?

Each of these issues will be consideredbelow.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF THE

TIME TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

According to the Article 28 of the ViennaConvention on the Law of Treaties, “unless adifferent intention appears from the treaty oris otherwise established, its provisions do notbound a party in relation to any act or factwhich took place or any situation which ceasedto exist before the date of the entry into forceof the treaty with respect to that party”.9

The foregone principle also extends to theEuropean Convention for the Protection ofHuman Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.The Strasbourg Court has mentioned in a num-ber of cases dealing with the length of the pro-ceedings that the Convention does not havea retroactive effect.

In the case Silva Pontes v. Portugal theCourt concluded, that the period to be takeninto consideration for the purpose of the Arti-cle 6(1) did not begin to run when the appli-cant first brought the civil action before therelevant court requesting compensation for thedamage of the health on 20 December 1977,but only on 9 November 1978, when the Con-vention entered into force with regard to Por-tugal.10

At the same time, “the judgment of theCourt, on whether or not the proceedings havetaken place with the respective speed, afterthe Convention entered into force, will be in-fluenced by the very fact that the case is be-ing considered for a long time already”.11 Thisconnotates that to a certain degree the timelapsed before the ratification of the Conven-tion is also taken into consideration.

After the establishing the date of the en-try into force of the Convention with regard toa particular State, the Court considers thebeginning and the end of the time to be takeninto consideration.

“in criminal matters, the “reasonable time”referred to in Article 6(1) begins to run as soonas a person is charged”.12

“... Charge”, for the purposes of Article6(1), may in general be defined as "the offi-cial notification given to an individual by thecompetent authority of an allegation that hehas committed a criminal offence”.13

“A person may be charged at the time ofarrest or when preliminary proceedings areopened”.14

In the case Wemhoff v. FRG the Courtfound, that the beginning of the period to betaken into consideration must run from 9 No-vember 1961, the date on which the firstcharges were levelled against Wemhoff andhis arrest was ordered. It was on that date thathis right to a hearing within a reasonable timecame into being so that the criminal chargescould be determined. The indictment was how-ever filed only over two years after the pre-trial investigation was completed.15

Deriving from this, in a criminal case thestarting date for determining the time to betaken into consideration shall be the date,when a person for the first time was officiallynotified via official sources about the com-mencement by the duly authorized state bod-ies of certain procedures in his respect. As arule, this is the time when a person is charged.There are also instances when the commence-ment of the criminal prosecution, recognitionof a person as suspect, detention or otherprocedural action precedes charging. In sucha case any date, which preceded the others,and when the applicant learned for the firsttime that a doubt had emerged in his respectshall be considered as the commencement ofthe term.

In civil cases this issue is solved in the fol-lowing manner: if the applicant was a plaintiff,the calculation of the term shall start from fil-ing a suit. In cases where the applicant was arespondent, the time of handing over the courtnotification on appearance in court shall beconsidered as a starting point for this term.

In the case Guincho v. Portugal the Courtfound that the starting point of the relevantperiod, reasonableness of which should havebeen assessed, was the date proceedingswere instituted before the Court requestingcompensation for health damages.16

In the case Vernillo v. France the Courtfound that the period to be considered beganwhen the applicants were summoned beforethe tribunal.17

The case Beaumartin v. France is espe-cially interesting, as the application was filedin the Paris Administrative Court. It appearedthat the dispute fell outside that court’s juris-diction and forwarded the application and thefile to the Conseil d’Etat. The European Courtregarded that the calculation of a reasonabletime should have been commenced from themoment when the applicant first filed the case,

Page 118: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

117

even if to the court which did not have juris-diction over it.18

The court management shall be organizedin such a way to avoid the protraction of pro-ceedings even in cases of such errors. Thefact that the person is not duly notified on us-ing the procedural rights shall not turn to bethe ground for violating his/her right to swiftproceedings.

In civil and administrative cases the “ rea-sonable time” referred to in Article 6(1) nor-mally begins to run from the moment the ac-tion was instituted before the “tribunal”; how-ever in certain circumstances the time maybegin to run earlier .19 “Such instances oftentake place when the applicant is obliged toexhaust the preliminary remedies in the formof applying to the administrative bodies be-fore applying to court”. 20

In the case Vallee v. France the Courtfound that the period to be taken into consid-eration began when the applicant lodged hispreliminary claim for compensation with theMinister for Solidarity, Health and Social Pro-tection.21

“In criminal, as well as civil cases the pe-riod to be taken into consideration lasts untilthe final determination of the case; and there-fore includes appeal and cassation proceed-ings”.22

“Time period to be taken into considerationincludes the entire proceeding. In the criminalcase it finishes when the charges broughtagainst a person are decided and he/she isproved guilty or not guilty by the final decisionof the court; or it will finish at the moment thecriminal prosecution is dismissed”.23

In the case H v. France the Court found,that the time for the purposes of Article 6(1)ended when the applicant was notified of thejudgment given by the supreme administra-tive court.24

It is apt to mention here that the final de-cision made on any given case is not alwaysthe decision of the court of cassation. Oftentimes the proceedings are finalized at an ear-lier stage:

In the case Milasi v. Italy the Court foundthat the period to be taken into account forthe purposes of Article 6(1) ended on 7 March1983, when the Reggio Calabria District Courtgave judgment.25

“When the charged person is found notguilty and the prosecutor does not appeal the

decision, a reasonable time guarantee con-tinues being in force until the time establishedfor appeal lapses and up to this moment theState is responsible for the length of the pro-ceedings”.26

Respectively, when the particular legalproceedings do not involve all the proceduralstages envisaged by the legislation, the endof the period to be taken into considerationshall be the time, when the decision, which wasfinal on the given case, entered into force.

“If the proceedings still endure in the do-mestic instances by the time when the Stras-bourg Court considers an application, the pe-riod of a reasonable time continues beforedelivering a decision by the latter”.27

One of the important issues, which has notonce become a subject of deliberation for theEuropean Court, is the period of proceedingsbefore a constitutional court:

In the case Bock v. FRG the Court foundthat “as a review of its case-law demonstrates,there are circumstances in which proceedingsbefore the Constitutional Court of a State mustbe taken into the reckoning in determining therelevant period. It has to be considered wheth-er the Constitutional Court's decision was ca-pable of affecting the outcome of the casewhich has been litigated before the ordinarycourts. The question whether Article 6(1) isapplicable to constitutional complaint proceed-ings must accordingly be treated on the mer-its of each case, in the light of all the circum-stances”.28

When considering the terms of the pro-ceedings one more time period is arguable:

In the case Girolami v. Italy the Court con-cluded, that in the cases in which the appli-cant escapes the jurisdiction of the court or isin hiding, the period for which the applicantwas on the run, should be excluded from thecalculation. However, there is an exceptionfrom the rule in cases when the charged per-son had “a reasonable doubt” to believe thathe would not get a fair trial and had a reasonto think so”. 29

The Court also concluded that “the rea-sonableness of the length of proceedings mustbe assessed in the light of the particular cir-cumstances of the case and having regard tothe criteria laid down in the court’s case-law,in particular the complexity of the case andthe conduct of the applicant and of the au-thorities concerned”.30

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

Each of the factors shall be consideredseparately and their cumulative effect shall beassessed therein afterwards.

1. THE COMPLEXITY OF A CASE

“In criminal, as well as civil cases, in ordernot to establish a violation, a State shall provethat the length of proceedings was precondi-tioned by the complexity of the case”.31

Even more, “the Court considers the com-plexity of the case before assessing the con-duct of the State bodies or of an applicant”.32

When assessing the complexity of thecase the factors such as the aspects of thelaw, as well as volume of evidence, a numberof the charges or the accused, the necessityof acquiring the expert opinions, receiving thewitness statements from abroad, unification ofthe cases in one proceeding, are taken intoconsideration”.33

As mentioned already, one of the mostimportant factors taken into consideration bythe Court when assessing the complexity ofthe case is a number of the participants of theproceedings.

For example, in the case Union Almentar-ia Sanders S.A. v. Spain the Government sub-mitted that the case was fairly complex, asthere were several defendants, against whomdifferent claims were being made. The Euro-pean Court underlined that only one of thedefendants appeared before the Court of FirstInstance and none of them before the Courtof Appeal which simplified the task of thosecourts”.34

In the case Angelucci v. Italy the court con-cluded that the case was undoubtedly of somecomplexity owing to the number of accused”.35

A State can cite the complexity of a caseas a justification only in extremely exceptionalsituations, when such circumstances are re-vealed that are unusual for the court practiceand its prediction in advance is impossible.

A number of plaintiffs and accused maybe high in many instances and the court shallbe therefore accordingly prepared for that.One of the easiest ways out of the situation isseparation of proceedings or consideration ofa case by several judges. Citing the problemwhich is subjected to regulation can not beconsidered as a justification.

Along with studying legal issues and fac-tual circumstances of the case, the European

Court pays due attention to the proceduralmatters. The number and the duration of theemployed procedural actions and measuresundertaken do indeed determine the complex-ity of the case.

In this respect the case of Foti and othersv. Italy is of a particular interest. In its submis-sion the Government asserted that the pre-liminary investigation involved a large numberof measures. The Court noted that the offenc-es of which the applicants were accused canin themselves scarcely be described as com-plex. As offences committed in public and es-tablished on the spot, they should not havegiven rise to a difficult process of preliminaryinvestigation. Furthermore, except in the sec-ond Foti case, they were dealt with at one ju-risdictional level alone. The applicants’ caseswere thus not especially complex”.36

One of the interesting cases of the com-plex cases is parallel proceedings in both –civil and criminal cases:

In the case Gunter v. Turkey the Respon-dent Government submitted that the appli-cant's case was a complicated inheritance dis-pute. There were two proceedings pending atthe same time. The case could not have beenessentially considered until the case concern-ing the certificate of inheritance was not fina-lised. The Court observed that the proceed-ings were not complex.37

In the case Boddaert v. Belgium the Stras-bourg Court did not consider the term of sixyears and three month unreasonable, as thecomplex circumstances related with the mur-der and a parallel investigation of two caseswere involved.38

Conducting the parallel proceedings is thefactor, which can be justly referred to by a statewhen claiming the complexity of the case.

The instances of maintaining by a Gov-ernment of complexity of the proceedings dueto the fact that there was a need of the expertevidence are frequent.

In the case Vernillo v. France the Respon-dent Government was alleging that the casewas complex. One of the reasons for that wasthe need to seek an expert opinion. The Courtdid not agree with the position.39

In the case Nowicky v. Austria the appli-cant was requesting the issuing of a licenceto produce the medicament. The Governmentargued that the proceedings were complexnamely in that their very nature necessitated

Page 120: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

119

the taking of several expert opinions and sci-entific research. Furthermore, in the courseof the proceedings at issue the applicant al-tered his request for authorisation of the me-dicament at issue several times, which madeit necessary to conduct further research. TheCourt considered that, due to the above men-tioned reasons, the case was of considerablecomplexity. Despite this, the Court held thatthere has been a violation of Article 6(1).40

In the vast majority of cases there is an is-sue emerging which requires the expert opin-ion. Therefore, if all the cases of this kind areconsidered complex and this is referred to by aState, as a justifying circumstance, this will con-tribute to establishing erroneous practice.

The requirements towards the state insti-tutions shall be especially strict when the prob-lem was known to a State beforehand and ithad time for preparation.

In the case Vallee v. France in which theapplicant claimed compensation from the Min-istry for Solidarity, Health and Social Protec-tion did not agree with the submission of theGovernment that the case was complex, de-spite the fact that paying the compensationwas related with certain intricacy. Accordingto the Court’s position, “such problems hadbeen foreseeable and therefore a solutioncould probably have been found earlier”.41

In order to justify their position in somecases the states refer to the circumstancessuch as the non-appearance of the partici-pants of the proceedings in court, which ac-cording to their explanations, is the reason formaking the case complex.

In the case Konig v. Germany the Courtnoted that “the Government could not provethat the case contained the factual or the le-gal complexity. However, it is true that the 4thChamber of the Administrative Court encoun-tered great difficulties in tracing witnessesseveral of whom had in the meantime changedname or address”.42

In the case Guincho v. Portugal the Gov-ernment was claiming that the case was com-plex due to the failure of witnesses and law-yers to appear in the court. The Court did notagree with the latter view: the circumstancesadverted to by the Government did not com-plicate the conduct of the proceedings in amanner unusual for such litigation.43

We regard the arguments such as thecourts may be unsuccessful in cases the wit-

nesses do not appear in a court is not suffi-cient for considering the case as a whole tobe complex. Some other components shallalso be present therein.

It is also interesting to consider how theacts of the charged person may resemble onthe complexity of the case:

In the case Ferrantelli and Santangelo v.Italy the Government conceded that the totalduration of the proceedings might at first sightappear excessive, but justified it among oth-ers on the basis of the undeniably complexnature of the investigation because of thestatements and confessions made and thenretracted by the accused. According to theapplicant’s position, the change of the testi-mony of the accused could not have beenconsidered as the circumstance complicatingthe case, due to the fact that the accused isnot obliged to cooperate with the investiga-tion. The Court in fact agreed with the Gov-ernment’s submission that the case was un-doubtedly complex, but not due to these cir-cumstances. The Court has not taken this ar-gument into consideration.44

In the case Zmalinski v. Poland the Gov-ernment were of the view that the case hadbeen complex. According to the applicant mod-ifications of his claims had not complicated it.The Court considers that, even though thecase was of some complexity, it cannot be saidthat this in itself justified the entire length ofthe proceedings.45

We consider that a charged person is notobliged to cooperate with the investigation. Asregards the plaintiff, the latter employs the pro-cedural rights when broadening or specifying theclaim. This is not out of the ordinary for courtpractice. Correspondingly, referring to these fac-tors, as justifying circumstances, shall be em-ployed by a State only in extremely exceptionalcircumstances, when this involves unpredictableand substantial complications.

2. CONDUCT OF AN APPLICANT

“State is only responsible for the violationswhich can be attributable to it. If the partiesduring the proceedings or the accused in acriminal case caused or contributed to pro-traction of the proceedings, this time-periodshall not be taken into consideration”.46

For instance, in the case Proszac v. Po-land the Court noted that the applicant con-

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

tributed decisively to slowing down the pro-ceedings via groundlessly challenging the re-porting judge on three occasions, as well asher failures to attend the hearings, and herrefusal to attend for the ... psychiatric exami-nation. Therefore, no violation of Article 6(1)was found.47

It is apt to mention that a State is not re-sponsible for the protracted proceedings whichwere caused due to the applicant even inthose cases, when the latter acts within theframework of the law.

For instance, in the case Kemmache v.France the Government argued that the ap-plicant contributed to prolonged proceedingsdue to the seeking the adjournment of the pro-ceedings. The applicant clarified, that he wasincapable to attend the hearing due to thepsychiatric conditions. The European Courtfound, that a State can not be held responsi-ble for the protracted proceedings, if that wascaused by the applicant.48

The Strasbourg Court considers and as-sesses each stage of the legal proceedingsseparately. Respectively, a Government is re-quired to submit detailed clarifications in res-pect with each of the stages of the proceedings.

In particular, in the case Beaumartin v.France the Court concluded that the appli-cants prolonged the proceedings by errone-ously bringing proceedings in the Court whichhad no jurisdiction over the case. They alsocontributed to the length of the proceedingsby not filing their pleadings until four monthsafter lodging their appeal. The applicants wereresponsible for a certain period of time (9months), however for the rest of the time noexplanations have been forthcoming from theGovernment (the respondent ministry waitedtwenty months after the commencement ofproceedings before filing pleadings and thecourt dealing with the case took over fiveyears to hold its first hearing). Respectively,the Court did not regard as “reasonable” inthis instance a lapse of time of eight years andfour months and therefore found that therehas been a violation of Article 6 para 1. 49

A state can refer to the actions of the ap-plicant in order to justify its own position; how-ever this way the state will avoid responsibilityonly on the time period which was protracteddue to the acts of the applicant and not withregard to the entire proceedings.

The analysis of the case law of the Euro-pean Court of Human Rights proves that dif-ferent standards are established for assess-ing the acts of an applicant in civil and crimi-nal cases.

The requirements with regard to state areto a large extent stricter in respect with thecriminal cases than with respect of consider-ing civil cases. This can be explained with thefact that expeditious and efficient proceedingsin civil cases depends on the initiative anddetermination of the parties to a case. Respec-tively, the responsibility is to a large extentshared by the parties to a case.

In the case Ciricosta and Viola v. Italy theGovernment submitted that the length of theproceedings was entirely attributable to theapplicants. In Italy it was “essentially for theparties to take the initiative with regard to theprogress of civil proceedings” (principio dis-positivo). The European Court shared the viewof the Government and added that the “prin-cipio dispositivo” does not dispense the courtsfrom ensuring compliance with the require-ments of “a reasonable time“.50

In civil, as well as in criminal cases, thecourts shall ensure meeting procedural obli-gations by the parties through general coor-dination. The appropriate legislation shall begiving to the courts the possibility of exercis-ing the reasonable control over the parties toa case. Swift legal proceedings do not fall onlywithin the interest of the parties to a case. Astate shall itself be interested in consideringeach case in a short term, in order to, on theone hand, avoid the backlogging the courtsand on the other side to save the state re-sources. Therefore, a state shall not wait forthe initiatives of parties, but shall establishsuch a flexible system which would ensure thatthe case is not being continued for long.

One of the problematic issues, which sur-faces in civil cases when assessing the actsof the applicant, is the actions of the otherparty. May state be responsible for that? Inthis respect the following cases are interest-ing to consider:

In the case Vernillo v. France the EuropeanCourt established that both parties contributedto protracting the case proceedings, which wasexpressed in the following: the Torzuolis, theplaintiffs, took four and a half months to reply inthe tribunal de grande instance; they filed theirsecond set of appeal pleadings three and a half

Page 122: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

121

months after the first set; and during the appealon points of law they took four and a half monthsto reply to the Vernillos’ supplementary plead-ings. Furthermore, a year and four monthselapsed before Mrs Torzuoli resumed the pro-ceedings after her husband’s death. In this casethe Court pointed out that only delays attribut-able to the State may justify a finding of a failureto comply with the “reasonable time” requirement– the Article 6(1). If the prolongation of the pro-ceedings is caused due to the other party to thecase, which ultimately led to the protracted con-sideration of the applicant’s case, the State shallnot be responsible for that. Even more, the Gov-ernment can use this as a justification.51

In the case Bock v. FRG the Court noted,that “State is not responsible for the actionsof the respondent, against whom the applicanthas filed a complaint”.52

Contrary to this, in the case Guincho v.Portugal the Court established that “the … cir-cumstances set out by the Government, andin particular the failure to appear of witnessesand of lawyers for the defendants, cannot, inthe Court’s view, be held against the applicant.… [t]he dilatory nature of the proceedingscannot be attributed to the applicant”.53

We share the opinion expressed in thisvery case and believe, that a court shall notonly avoid violation of the procedural time-lim-its, but shall also ensure that the parties tothe case observe them as well. A court mustalso call upon the parties to a case, issue or-ders, establish time-limits, etc.

When a State undertakes an obligation toobserve all the provisions of the Convention,it does not make a reservation that it will se-cure the rights to persons within its jurisdic-tion only from violating them from the side ofthe state bodies. Despite who is a violator ofa right of an applicant to have the case con-sidered in a speedy manner – being that astate body or a private individual, the result isthe same. In any case a State shall not allowfor such a violation and if this still happens,shall react adequately.

Respectively, if the applicant, and not theother party to a case, has contributed to theprotracted proceedings, these delays shall notbe attributable to the applicant and a stateshall be responsible for this.

The European Court has found in a num-ber of cases, that an applicant can not be heldresponsible for using all the possibilities thatare available, notwithstanding their efficiency.

For example, in the case Zmalinski v. Po-land the Respondent Government submittedthat the applicant had partly contributed to thedelay by frequent extensions and modificationsof his claims. However, the Court consideredthat the applicant’s conduct, in particular themanner in which he exercised his proceduralrights, had not substantially contributed to thelength of the proceedings. Therefore, no vio-lation of Article 6(1) was found.54

Yet another fundamental principle, em-ployed when evaluating the acts of an applicant,is expressed in the case Corigliano v. Italy: “theperson concerned is not required to activelyco-operate with the judicial authorities”.55

“An applicant is not obliged to activelycooperate in speeding-up the proceedingsafter which he/she will be exposed to convic-tion in the charges brought against him/her”.56

“If the applicant, through the actions un-dertaken, tries to speed-up the administrationof proceedings, this shall be credited towardshim/her, however if he/she does not activelytry this, it can not be negatively influencingthe claim of the applicant on protracted pro-ceedings”.57

“A State is responsible for its omissions,which resulted into the protracted proceed-ings. It may not claim that the applicant shouldhave shown the initiative of noticing this”.58

3. CONDUCT OF AUTHORITIES

Each State implements the obligationsundertaken by ratifying an international trea-ty through the state institutions. Respectively,the European Court assess the actions ofthese very organs in order to establish, wheth-er a “reasonable time” requirement was ob-served.

In the case Martins Moreira v. Portugal itwas established that the medical institutionsfailed to timely conduct medical examination.In the Government's view, only the conduct ofthe judicial authorities in question could incurthe international liability of Portugal in thismatter and not any errors on the part of thelegislature, the executive, or organs or per-sons outside the State structure, in this in-stance the Institute, which had no hierarchi-cal relationship with the courts. This argumentwas not shared by the European Court, whichstated that “in ratifying the Convention, thePortuguese State undertook the obligation to

E. SICHINAVA, “A REASONABLE TIME” REQUIREMENT

Page 123: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

122

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

respect it and it must, in particular, ensure thatthe Convention is complied with by its differ-ent authorities. The fact that the medical in-stitutions were not judicial in character is im-material in this respect. In any event, the ex-amination in question was to be effected inthe context of judicial proceedings supervisedby the court, which remained responsible forensuring the speedy conduct of the trial”.59

Deriving from this, it is clear that:First, upon the ratification of a convention

a state undertakes responsibility to implementit and is responsible for all the violations with-in its jurisdiction, notwithstanding whether thisis caused by a court or other state institutions.A party to the European Convention on Hu-man Rights is a State and not its separate in-stitutions, for example, a court. The state in-stitutions and officials undertake the publicauthority and respectively, a State is respon-sible for their actions.

Second, the deliberation can go even fur-ther. A state shall fulfill both – negative andpositive obligations. It must not only not vio-late the conventional provisions itself, but mustsecure to any person within its jurisdiction therights protected by the Convention.

In the case Martins Moreira v. Portugal inwhich the Court found the State liable for vio-lations exercised by the medical institution,considered that the medical institution cameunder the administrative authority of the Min-istry of Justice. Accordingly, the PortugueseState was under a duty to provide them withappropriate means in relation to the objectivespursued so as to enable them to comply withthe requirements of Article 6 para. 1.60

We consider that notwithstanding wheth-er this medical institute would be a state or aprivate establishment, a state responsibilityshould have been involved in any case.

A state shall protect its own national notonly from violating the rights by the state bod-ies, but also in those cases, when the legalinterests of the former are violated by otherprivate or legal persons.

Respectively, if a right of a person to anexpedite proceeding is violated, it is surplusto deliberate on who contributed to this – acivil servant or a private individual. A state shallnot allow violation of human rights and in caseif this takes place any way, it shall react overit. In the contrary situation it shall be held re-sponsible, as first it could not protect a per-

son from violating the rights and afterwards itdid not provide for recovering the rights vio-lated.

Third, judicial authorities are rightlycharged with a special role in the expeditiousadministration of justice. A court is not onlyobliged to observe the terms established forcertain procedural obligations itself, but alsoto provide for efficient and expeditious hold-ing of the proceedings. It must undertake themeasures in respect of each of the partici-pants of the proceedings in order not to giveanyone a possibility to interfere with the swiftadministration of justice.

In the case Vernillo v. France the Europe-an Court concluded, that “the national courtsare obliged to create such conditions to states,which would provide to avoid the unjustifiableprolongation of the consideration of a case“.61

“The courts are responsible for ensuringthat cases proceeded satisfactorily in coop-eration with the parties”.62

One of the most interesting issues withinthe measures undertaken by a court is theunification of cases, which frequently has be-come an issue of contention.

For instance, in the case Kemmache v.France the Court held that the case of theapplicant was unified with the case of Mr.Klaushofer. His return to France was belated-ly provided by the Swiss state bodies. Thiscaused the delaying the proceedings for twoyears and eight months. The applicant allegedthat if the return of Mr. Klaushofer was impos-sible, the State bodies could have separatedproceedings in respect with Mr. Kemmacheand Mr. Ceccio, what did not happen as theaccused were risking very harsh sentence andMr. Klaushofer’s statement was one of theimportant elements. The European Court didnot accept the argument of the Government,as to the impossibility of the separation of suchcases. Therefore, the Court found violation ofArticle 6(1).63

Different decision was made in the caseBoddaert v. Belgium. The Court noted that theapplicant and Mr. Piron were charged with themurder of Jehin. Mr. Piron was also accusedin committing other crimes. One of the crimeswas closely linked with the murder of Jehin.The investigating judge chose to shelve theinvestigation in case and to await the outcomeof the investigation of the “second case” inorder to complete the file of the first and to

Page 124: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

123

hold a joint trial on all the charges broughtagainst Mr. Piron. It was also taken into con-sideration that Mr. Boddaert and Mr. Pironaccused each other of having committed thecrime of which they were both suspected. TheEuropean Court found that in proceeding inthis manner they undoubtedly took the risk ofpostponing even further Mr. Boddaert's com-mittal for trial. However, the gravity of the of-fences in question and the interdependenceof the charges, could reasonably appear tomake it necessary for such a “parallel progres-sion” of the two cases. Consequently, no vio-lation of Article 6 (1) was found.64

At a glance, the interest of the Court, tounite the cases of the similar types, is nimble,and in itself is a positive measure, as it setsas a goal overall and objective investigationof the case, however in case if such a mea-sure does not advance the situation of anapplicant, but on the contrary, causes delaysin considering his/her case, a state can notrefer to this action as a justification and themeasure may become a reason for imposingthe liability on it.

A state must always be oriented at the pro-tection of the right of a person to swift consid-eration of his/her case so that he/she is notleft in ambiguity for long. Therefore, when thestate institutions consider their actions, thelatter shall first of all take into considerationthe interests of a person and grant them apriority. Otherwise the actions of the state bodyshall be considered contrary to the Article 6(1)of the European Convention.

One of the key issues, always surfacingwhen assessing the actions of a state body, isoverloading of courts. This is the argument,which is used by the both sides (applicant, aswell as a respondent State) in order to groundtheir position and both sides interpret this intheir own way. The European Court has onthe other hand established a number of its ownstandards for considering this issue.

In the case Zimmerman and Steiner v.Switzerland the respondent state was foundliable, as almost three and a half years wererequired for the appeals procedures, in thecourse of majority of which the case was puton hold. The announced reason was that thecourt was overloaded, and the cases whichwere considered more important, were grant-ed priority. The case of the applicant did notappear in this list. The cases were collected

at the court during years and the adequatemeasures, which would have increased thenumber of staff or otherwise boost the organi-zation of the court system, were not undertaken.65

It is clearly shown from the case that whena State, in order to ground its position, stipu-lates, that the court is overloaded, it has toprove the presence of the two conditions: first,that the overloading of courts is a temporaryincident and not a permanent problem and theincrease in number of cases was unexpected;and, second, the state undertook the ade-quate measures in order to improve the situa-tion with the respective speed.

Observation of these two conditions isessential, but not sufficient:

It is also required that the states under-take measures with respect to the given ap-plicant. In this respect the following cases areof interest:

In the case Buchholz v. Germany the Courtheld that a State may not be held responsi-ble, if the violations are caused due to theoverloading of the courts, which could nothave been predicted in advance and if a stateundertakes swift and adequate measuresthereto. The Court did not found the respon-dent state liable for violating Article 6(1) in thiscase, as the overloading of courts was a re-sult of unexpected economic crisis in 1970sand respectively, the adequate measures wereundertaken to increase a number of judges,as soon as the problem became visible. De-spite the fact that these measures could notcontribute to advancing the applicant’s situa-tion, these were the measures which couldhave been undertaken by the respondent statein the given circumstances.66

A different decision was made in the caseCiricosta and Viola v. Italy, in which the Stateindicated that the state had undertaken therespective measures to improve the situation.In particular, the Italian Parliament has triedto remedy the slow workings of justice by re-vising the Code of Civil Procedure. The Courtnoted that it was not appropriate at that stageto speculate about measures which had beenundertaken belatedly.67

Also, in the case Milasi v. Italy the Courtfound violation of Article 6. Despite the factthat the authorities had endeavored to meetthe crisis of backlogging the courts by actingmethodically, by giving priority to the trials ofthose defendants who were in custody and by

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

appointing more judges and court staff, theapplicant had to wait nearly ten years beforethe “criminal charge” against him was the sub-ject of a judicial determination at first in-stance.68

It is evident from the aforementioned thatthe European Court set a very high standard.Each of the measures undertaken by a Stateshall be assessed based on its effectivenesswith regard to the applicant. The subject ofany given application is not the review of thegeneral policy of a state, but the concrete factof violation committed by the State. Even inthe case if a reform was in principle success-ful, but it could not improve the applicant’s sit-uation, referring to it will not be grounded.

There are precedents, in which the Courtheld no violation of Article 6, as the protrac-tions in the proceedings caused by the Statebodies were not considered to be lengthy.

For instance, in the case Neumeister v.Austria the Court held that Mr. Neumeister hadnot been interrogated during the fifteenmonths, there were no confrontation of wit-nesses and other investigative actions under-taken. The consideration of case commencedin a year after the finalizing the investigation.Despite all this, the European Court has notconsidered these facts to be sufficient for find-ing that the terms were violated. The Govern-ment noted that the delays were in large partcaused by the need to give the legal repre-sentatives of the parties and also the judgessitting on the case time to get acquainted withthe case record, which comprised twenty-onevolumes of about five hundred pages each.Over seven years had elapsed between thetime Neumeister was originally charged andthe time when the Strasbourg Court was con-sidering his application, and he did not yet hada judgment of conviction or acquittal.69

We consider that in this case the dissent-ing opinion of the Judge Zekia shall be takeninto consideration: “Notwithstanding the diffi-culties encountered in the preparation andpresentation of the case I am unable to per-suade myself - even after making certain al-lowances for the delays caused by the neces-sity for these long investigations and the diffi-culties of procuring evidence - that such a longinterval and delay between the date Neumeis-ter was originally charged and the date of theconclusion of his trial, could be considered ascompatible with the letter and spirit of Article 6(1) of the Convention…”

We consider, that a feeling that a humanbeing has, while awaiting a verdict, can notbe assessed and delaying his being in suchan uncertain condition for even very shorttime period is a violation and respectively shallinvolve the responsibility of state bodies.

As it is evidenced from the Court case lawreview, the issue of duration of the proceed-ings is problematic in a number of states. Thereasons causing it often diverse:

“The States are held accountable for theactions of the civil and administrative bodies,that is expressed in the following: the estab-lished registration procedures, postponing thecourt hearing and protractions, which arecaused due to the lack of staff in the adminis-trative bodies”.70

“Protraction of the civil proceedings in-cludes the following: postponing the deliveryof the decision until the judgment is deliveredon another case, postponing the court hear-ing or the submission of the evidence by astate, the delays caused due to the fault ofthe registry of other administrative bodies”.71

“In the criminal proceedings they include:movement of the case between the courts,hearing a case of two or more defendants atonce, handing the verdict to the sentenced”.72

For the purpose of implementing all theobligations undertaken by states upon the rat-ification of the Convention it is necessary toarrange the judicial system in line with the re-quirements of Article 6(1).

“The Convention obliges the states par-ties to organize the legal systems in a mannerto allow the courts to fulfill the requirement ofArticle 6(1). The state is not only responsiblefor the specific violations due to the fact that itcould not swiftly administer justice, but alsodue to not increasing the resources despitethe fact that the courts are overloaded andthere is no structure created, that as a resultcauses protraction”.73

CONCLUSION

In order to make the legislation and thepractice of our country in line with the require-ment of the “reasonable time”, a number ofmeasures shall be undertaken by the statebodies.

In particular, the following legislative gapsshall be filled up: Chapter II of the CriminalProcedure Code of Georgia – “The Principles

Page 126: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

125

of the Criminal Procedure” does not contain aprovision about administering justice “in a rea-sonable time”. The same Law does not con-tain any provision which would have definedthe time-frame for the first instance court todeal with the case. It would be also desirableto include into the Criminal Procedure Codeof Georgia the categories of priority caseswhich should be given priority by courts.

Violations of a requirement of a “reason-able time” in Georgia are in general condi-tioned with the fact that the courts are over-loaded. In order to decrease the number ofsuch vivid violations of human rights, alongwith the revision of the legislation the broad-ening of the judicial branch of power and in-crease of the number of judges and court staffis needed (there is no doubt that this shall notbe exercised on the expense of professional-

ism). The courts shall have objective condi-tions for the protection of the requirements ofthe European Convention, and at the sametime the readiness of the judges to be orient-ed at the observation of the requirement of “areasonable time” is also required.

The fight against this problem is essen-tial, in order not to violate a right of our citi-zens to have their cases processed quicklyand do not stay in the unclear situation forthe extended period of time. This is also im-portant for avoiding backlogging the courtsand what is important, avoiding threatening theefficiency and credibility of justice.

And finally, the requirement of “a reason-able time” shall be observed, in order not tohave the fundamental principle of internationallaw – pacta sund servanda – violated by Georgia.

NONA KALANDADZE

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OFALL MIGRANT WORKERS AND MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES AND UNMONITORING MECHANISMS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS

OF MIGRANT WORKERS AND MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES

INTRODUCTION

Labour migration is a very important as-pect of globalization and an expression of theprocesses of international integration. It hasrapidly accelerated in the aftermath of WorldWar II. It was reasoned by current political andeconomic processes, normalization of the re-lations among the countries, reinforcement ofpolitical, labour and social rights of aliens onthe one hand and facilitation of communica-tions between the different States, reductionof transportation prices and increase of thelevel of awareness of the population on theother hand.

The collapse of the socialist system had agreat impact on the migration trend of theworld. The rapid deterioration of living stan-dards and increasing political instability gen-erated new waves of migrations. The devel-opment of migration from Georgia was equal-ly affected and determined by economic col-lapse and the newly emerging trends of la-bour force supply and demand on the domes-tic, as well as international labour market.

For the first time its serious interest hasbeen expressed by the Organization of Unit-ed Nations in 1972, since the Economic andSocial Council in its resolution 1706 (LIII) ex-pressed alarm at the illegal transportation oflabour to some European States and at theexploitation of workers from some AfricanStates "in conditions akin to slavery and forcedlabour”. Later the same year, the General As-sembly in its resolution 2920 (XXVII) con-demned discrimination against foreign work-ers and called upon Governments to end suchpractices and to improve reception arrange-ments for migrant labours.1

International Convention on the Protectionof the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Mem-bers of Their Families was adopted by the UNwithout the ballot in 1990.2 This convention isthe broadest international convention in theworld, which aims at the protection of civil andpolitical as well as economic, social and cul-tural rights of the labour migrants and theirfamilies. It defines the rights of the labour mi-grants and the members of their families indetails, only together with the obligations ofthe States in a view of there immigration poli-cy and practices.3

By adopting the Convention, the rights ofthe labour migrants and the remedies to en-sure their rights have been defined. It involves30-years discussions, including UN research-es on human rights, opinions and recommen-dations, expert assessments, debates and UNresolutions on the labour migrants.4

51 States were the members of the con-vention by March, 2007, among them 37States have ratified this convention.5

1. SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL

“CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF THE

RIGHTS OF ALL MIGRANT WORKERS AND

MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES”

Convention on Migrant Workers strength-ens and completes principles and provisionsstipulated in the basic treaties on human rightsof the UN.6

The Convention7 stipulates the implemen-tation of such minimum standards, which im-plies the conduction of necessary activities bythe State in relation to the labour migrants andtheir families, in spite of emigration status, sothe origin of the labour migrants and mem-

Page 143: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

bers of their families shall not be important forthe States, they shall equally to other citizensprotect their rights and dignity.

In comparison to all other instruments onthe migrants, the first part of the Conventionprovides for the comprehensive definition ofthe term “Migrant Workers”8. The Conventionapplies equally to all migrant workers andmember of their families. In spite of the factthat, the list of restrictions is illustrative andnon-comprehensive, it is still more completethan the grounds stated by the other Conven-tions on Human Rights.9

The Convention grants all migrant work-ers who are documented and in regular sta-tion with the additional rights. All migrant work-ers and members of their families legally re-siding or having a permanent status in theState of employment shall have the right to befully informed on their future working condi-tions, as appropriate, as well as on the otherissues related to their working conditions (Ar-ticle 37).

The Convention bounds the State partiesto respect migrant workers as individuals, itprovides for the frames of support to createnormal, fair, human and lawful conditions inrelation to the international migration.10

2. ACTIVITY OF THE COMMITTEE ON MIGRANT

WORKERS

2.1. Committee on Migrant Workers andMonitoring Mechanisms of the Protectionof Rights of Migrant Workers

Unfortunately accession to any conven-tion does not mean that the listed rights andobligations will be performed appropriately andsteadily. Therefore the Convention providesfor the creation of the bodies responsible forthe implementation of the Convention aimedat monitoring of process of implementation ofthe Convention.11

After the entry into force12 on the basis ofArticle 72 of the Convention on the MigrantWorkers the Committee on the protection ofthe rights of migrant workers and members oftheir families was established,13 which is a com-ponent of the office of the UN High Commis-sioner for Human Rights.14

The Committee on the Migrant Workers isan independent group of experts, which mon-itors the implementation of the Convention onthe Migrant Workers by the States.15

The Committee on Migrant Workers heldits first session in 2004. The meetings of theCommittee take place annually. SecretaryGeneral of the UN preliminary informs the par-ticipants of the committee on the place as wellas on the date of the meeting (as early aspossible).16

The Committee is publishing its reports onthe activities annually.17 The report is publicand accessible. They can be also found in in-ternet. The reports mainly provide for infor-mation on the activities of the committee.18

For the enhancement of monitoring it is alsoimportant to underline the role of meetings ofChairmen and inter-committee meetings. The UNGeneral Assembly has introduced such meet-ings since 1983, which aims at enhancement ofactivity of the committees supervising the exe-cution of treaties. First meeting of the Chairmenof the Committees was held in 1984, but from1995 such meetings take place annually.19

Also inter-committee meetings are beingheld aimed at20 harmonization of working methods.

2.2. Examination of the Reports of theMember States by the Committee onMigrant Workers

The main task of the Committee is moni-toring the implementation of the Conventionon the Migrant Workers on the basis of re-ports submitted by the Member States.

The main aim of the system of reports pro-vides an opportunity to monitor the compati-bility of the State.

Each Member State shall be obliged tosubmit the regular reports on the measurestaken for the implementation of the Conven-tion.21 The Submission of the report is manda-tory within one year after the entry into forceof the Convention for the State Party con-cerned, thereafter every five years and when-ever the Committee so requests.22 The reportsshall also indicate factors and difficulties (ifany) affecting the implementation of the Con-vention and shall include information on thecharacteristics of migration flows in which theState Party concerned is involved,23 Iand whichis also interesting and important in the scopeof monitoring, these reports shall be widelyavailable to the public in their own countries.24

The Committee has also elaborated the doc-ument containing the form and content of re-port,25 which provides for the section of infor-mation of a general nature.26

Page 144: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

143

Furthermore, monitoring committees elab-orate directives for the States to write reports,clarify general definitions of the provisions ofthe Convention, and arrange discussions re-lated to the Convention. One of the functionsof the committee also includes the promotionof enhancement of implementation of provi-sions of the Convention by the State Partiesto the Convention on migrant workers.

2.3. Procedure of Interstate AppealsAccording to the Convention onMigrant Workers

In accordance with the provisions of Arti-cle 76 of the Convention on Migrant workers,any State Party to this Convention is entitledto address another State in written form if con-siders that this State violates or does not per-form the obligations under the Convention.After three months from the date of receipt ofthe written notification, the State shall submitexplanation or any other statement in writtenform to the sending State.

Similar written notification regarding the oth-er State shall be submitted to the relevant com-mittee by any State. Within 12 months fromthe date of receipt of such notification the com-mittee shall submit a report. If the decision ispositive, the committee will refer only facts andsolution methods in its report. But if it is notpossible to solve the issue positively, the re-port of the committee shall include list of factsrelated to issue raised between the States con-cerned.

From practical or diplomatic point of view,the States avoid and sometimes even do notwant to be involved in disputes between theStates. It is proved also by the experience ofInternational Judiciary. Even in well foundedcourt systems such as in EU and Council ofEurope, the amount of interstate appeals isvery low.27

Such kind of applications shall be deliv-ered to the UN Secretary General, who shallsend their copies to the other member Statesto the Convention on Migrant Workers. Suchwritten notification shall be any time abolishedby sending notification to the Secretary General.

In case of threat to peace and security theUN Security Council may intervene, despitethe facts who lodged the complaint. 28

All abovementioned procedure shall comeinto force when ten States Parties to the Con-

vention on Migrant Workers recognize thecompetence of the Committee on migrantworkers to consider communications to theeffect that a State Party claims that anotherState Party is not fulfilling its obligations (Arti-cle 76, paragraph 2 of the Convention).

Interstate appeals shall remain faithful andintimidating safe means of traditional natureof international law.29

2.4. Procedure of Individual Appealsin Accordance with the Conventionon Migrant Workers

Individual appeals are one of the mecha-nisms implementing human rights. As themechanism of receiving individual appealsdoes not operate yet, procedural rules are notelaborated by the Committee on Migrant Work-ers and thus it does not have an experiencein the field of individual appeals. However theCommittee may operate similarly to the pro-cedures established by other bodies and im-plement activities, stipulated by Article 77 ofthe Convention on Migrant Workers, throughthe same methods.30

As it is already mentioned a certain elementof sanction may be imposed on a State, if it vio-lates obligations under the treaty. Therefore,individual appeals partially help the performanceof obligations related to human rights – perhapsthe State will have an appropriate approach tothe obligations, rather than risk to introduce apunitive sanction. Negative results often push aState to change its legislation or practice.31 Itshould be mentioned that the success of indi-vidual appeals is higher when local means areavailable to the claimant.32

3. SPECIAL RAPPORTEURS IN MONITORING

SYSTEMS OF LABOUR MIGRANTS

Human rights monitoring international or-ganizations often address to Rapporteurs forassistance.

The Commission requires special Rappor-teurs33 to discuss obstacles related to the im-plementation of migrant rights, including legaland illegal migrants.34

Upon receiving the information on viola-tion of rights of migrants, Special Rapporteurshall immediately send an appeal or addressto the relevant State, in order to clarify thesituation and/or to draw attention on them.35

144

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

Special Rapporteur shall discuss individualappeals regarding rights of migrants and alsodiscuss applications defining general situa-tions in certain countries. The application ofSpecial Rapporteur may cause necessity ofrequesting information, mutual cooperation(accusatory letters) and/or other urgent ac-tivities (urgent appeals). Special Rapporteurhas elaborated special questionnaire, whichis available for any person. This can also befound on the internet.36 Special Rapporteur isentitled to request information on violation ofthe rights of migrants through the Authorities,contracting parties, intergovernmental andcompetent bodies of the UN or NGOs includ-ing migrant organizations and take abovemen-tioned appropriate measures.37

Special Rapporteur also holds visits in dif-ferent countries38 upon invitation of their Gov-ernments. Such visits do not necessarily meanthat the Government of the country has violat-ed human rights, but that gives opportunity toelucidate every possible detail of the situation.39

Special Rapporteurs determine that mi-grants are oppressed by deprivation of theirliberty. Activities of the States to decrease ir-regular migration violate the rights of migrants.Labour migrants having legal status oftencould not receive assistance neither from re-ceiving country nor from representatives ofconsulates of their countries. Consular postsoften have a lack of qualified staff. In somecases consulates do not recognize migrantswithout any documentation as their citizens be-cause of their illegal status.40

Rights of migrant children are not protect-ed as well, they are not guaranteed with anyprotection of their rights. Although, adminis-trative detention towards them should be usedonly as a last resort, this measure is appliedquite often.41

Special Rapporteur notes that violation ofmigration rules by the States shall not be areason to consider the violator migrant as anoffender. Special Rapporteurs often do notreceive any information from considerablenumber of States about their practices andlegislation.42

Unfortunately the rights are also violatedin cases of legal migration. Discrimination andanti-migration ideology reflect on each migrantwhether having legal or illegal status.

Undoubtedly, the work of Rapporteurs onselected rights and freedoms has greatly in-

creased the importance of human rights. Fur-thermore, researches and statistics collectedby Rapporteurs may be used in order to as-sist international and regional bodies in thefield of standard development.43

4. THE ROLE OF NGOS IN THE UN

MONITORING PROCESS

The NGOs are regularly taking part in theworking groups of the UN44, but the informa-tion provided by the NGOs does not have anofficial status in all committees.45

Currently while discussing the State re-ports the information provided by NGOs iswidely used by the UN committee members.

It shall be also mentioned that on the ses-sion of Economic and Social Council of UN in1996 orders to be consulted with NGOs wasdiscussed as one of the issue. In accordancewith the principles discussed in this document,the NGO should have representative structureand mechanism of responsibility of a membercontrolling the activity of the organization.46

However, consideration of representation withsuch dimensions has not been determined moreprecisely.47

Can be mentioned that mankind is ana-lyzing the role of NGOs and their participationalso in the monitoring system of the UN hasbecome more important and valuable.

5. PROBLEMS RELATED TO HUMAN RIGHTS

PROTECTION MONITORING SYSTEM

As it is already discussed above, interna-tional human rights are a new system and haveabout more than 50 years history.

Within last thirty-five years the State ap-proach to Human Rights has been dramati-cally changed. Nowadays each State recog-nizes human rights but the question still re-mains: in what quality? Unfortunately signa-ture of the documents by the States has a for-mal character.

The increasing number of the membersof the UN and regional organizations resultedin increased number of States signing the doc-uments devoted to human rights. However itdid not coincide with the increase of resourc-es and remedies of agencies controlling theimplementation process.

Still the problem is to initiate a dialoguewith number of States on ratification of a trea-

Page 146: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

145

ty. It should be mentioned that many Statesrecognize the convention only after making areservation. At the initial stage of reachinguniversal ratification, the reservations shall beconsidered negatively.48

Reporting system is frequently consideredas a weak system, because it depends on awill of a State. In many cases reports have moreformal and prosaic character and, in fact, theyare repetition of those laws which are in comp-liance with the established norms. If a Statehas ratified all (seven) main treaties, it shallbe obliged to submit seven reports, perhapsmost of them at the same time to Geneva orNew York and to make seven different opin-ions. The draft of such guideline principles wereelaborated in 2004. However, a few States areimplementing them in practice. This project eitheris not supported or condemned by anybody.49

One of the serious problems is to be back-ward. Taking into consideration that discus-sion of the State reports takes approximatelythree years, while submission of periodicallyreports is obligatory once in two years, theproblem is obvious. The UN is entitled to im-pose sanctions, use of force and finally, dep-rivation of membership. In accordance toCharter any State who does not fulfill the re-quirements of the organizations, may be askedto leave its positions. Despite this, the UN pre-fers to leave a State on its positions ratherthan to deprive its membership and to losecontrol over it.

Participation of State parties during thediscussion process of their reports is useful,but the expenses related to their participationmake it impossible. One of the ways to speedup the process is to increase a number of ses-sions, but the problem of resources still re-mains to be important. Vienna declaration andaction plan as well as world conference onhuman rights revealed serious financial diffi-culties of Monitoring agencies of the UN.

Rationalization of the UN reporting systemhas been long discussed since the last years.Obligation of the Governments is to deliverreports on the same topics to several treatybased body operating with different periodi-cal systems. Submission of the reports withdelay and also considerable delay of discus-sion of reports by some treaty base bodies isa long lasting procedure.50

Furthermore, the increase of the partici-pants is related to the increase of translation

expenses. In the UN the reports shall be trans-lated into official languages of the UN (Chi-nese, English, French, Russian, Spanish andArabic languages) and may be also translat-ed into other languages. Currently the re-sumes are prepared only in English and Frenchin order to reduce the number of delays ofsubmission. Nevertheless, the UN still requiresthe reports to be translated into all official lan-guages before their publication. However, thebest that can be supposed is to use the finan-cial resources of the UN in the most economicway.

Despite the fact that in some cases humanrights are violated because of an economic fac-tor, in the most cases the reasons are political.The main problem in the UN system is that theviolation shall be classified as a threat to inter-national peace and security, but many individu-al appeals received by the Committee are notqualified in accordance with this definition. Inaddition, individual notifications are not appliedsufficiently. Consideration of individual appealsshall be rapid, public and well-grounded and befollowed by the decision. Every treaty monitor-ing body was proposed to take measures andprocedures related to the implementation, whichwould motivate them to submit reports in time.51

Un Secretary General underlined the ne-cessity of modernization of treaty monitoringbodies operation. However it is more directedto reduction of a cooperation in making re-ports, rather than facilitation of financial situ-ation of the UN. The cooperation between trea-ty monitoring agencies are developing andproposals in relation to the reports are mod-ernizing.52 The existing system with its resourc-es is quite inefficient.53

6. GEORGIA AND THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO

GEORGIAN LABOUR MIGRANTS

The political and economic processesunderway in Georgia since the breakdown ofthe former Soviet Union activated a large-scalemigration from the country. As confirmed bythe results of this study, the main factor lead-ing to the intensive migration of population fromGeorgia is the ongoing deterioration of thelocal social-economic conditions and, thus, of thestandard of living of the Georgian population.54

In 1990th natural increase of labour recours-es in villages was high and local labour mar-kets were not able to ensure to balance la-

bour forces with provisional requirement, whichled to the migration of population from moun-tainous regions and especially from regionssettled by ethnic minorities.

Currently, hundreds of thousands of fam-ilies are receiving living wage through labourmigration, while the country receives solidamount through export of labour forces.55

The most important factor that determinesthe future potential of irregular migration fromGeorgia is social-economic development andthe benefit that the population can have fromany progress. If the living condition of majori-ty of population remains in hardship, presum-ably irregular migration from Georgia will not re-duce.56

The most challenging task ahead for theGovernment of Georgia is to reduce the in-centives to migrate abroad by improving thesocial-economic conditions of Georgian citizens.Internacional OrganizaTion for Migration (IOM)and other international organizations have showna clear commitment to assist the Georgian gov-ernment in accomplishing these tasks.57

Within last decades IOM important activi-ties are: wide discussion of the laws of Geor-gia in the field of migration and promotion oftheir unification into common legislation, whichshall ensure to regulate all aspects of migra-tion. There in no civil inclusion practice in Ge-orgia and very small number of people are be-having in this way. Instead deceived clientsprefer to find justice themselves, they commu-nicate with traffickers and employers themse-lves, put pressure on and request to returnmoney. Sometimes people are not awarewhere to appeal and do not trust law enforce-ment bodies, such as police and prosecutorsoffice.

The legislative basis is as of yet insuffi-cient, and the management structures andpolicy focus are not adequate enough to beable to take a firm stance against organizersof irregular migration, despite the fact thatGeorgia has signed almost all UN treaties re-garding Human Rights. Some analysts claimthat certain government officials have vestedfinancial interests in the operation of tourismfirms and employment mediators, which couldserve as an explanation why so many orga-nizers of irregular migration can still operatein virtual impunity in Georgia.58

Generally people in Georgia do not haveany idea about the risks related to migration.

Furthermore, government officials shouldbe informed through seminars and sympo-siums on the definition, nature and incidenceof irregular migration and trafficking. Theyshould also be trained in determining whatroles they can play in its prevention and control.59

This is an area where the Government ofGeorgia has to take the lead, assisted by theinternational community.

CONCLUSION

In 2005, the number of international mi-grants is between 185 and 192 million.60 Thisrepresents approximately three per cent of theworld population. Nearly all countries are con-cerned by migration, whether as sending, tran-sit, or receiving countries. International migra-tion has become an intrinsic feature of glo-balization.61 We need better understanding ofthe causes of international flows of people andtheir complex interrelationship with develop-ment.62 The plight of migrant workers and theirfamilies is one of those intractable issues inthe field of human rights. In the current anti-immigration climate in many developed indus-trialized countries, economic migrants are of-ten misunderstood. They are easy targets forpoliticians and the media in difficult economictimes and are considered a threat to the hostsociety, particularly those that enter the coun-try of employment without authorization. Ille-gal migrants are frequently perceived as“scroungers” on the welfare state, as crimi-nals, or as potential trouble-makers.

Migration contributes to the transforma-tion of contemporary economic and social re-lations. Labour migration plays a great role inthe development of many countries in theworld. Labour migration is an objective realityand despite its predominantly negative per-ception, this process yields more benefits thandetriments.63

Although, lawyers have established inter-national standards of human rights, but in or-der to implement them cooperation with politi-cians is very necessary. Because of certainreasons the States do not use the potential ofinternational law.64 Numbers of States includ-ing big States do not seek for rapid progressdevelopment, which has often been proved inpractice.65 It is also proved by the UN 10-yearprogramme. Unfortunately it does not containprovisions improving realization of legal

Page 148: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

147

norms.66 International monitoring mechanismsincluding reporting and appealing proceduresare only additional means for protection of therights of labour migrants on domestic level.67

The principles promoted through the con-vention have nevertheless had an impact inspecific countries and regions. In several re-ceiving countries, anti-immigrant sentimentshave decreased. 68 Practice reveals that thereis a great difference between the establish-ment of standards and their implementation.International society named those fundamen-tal rights and freedoms, which shall be guar-anteed to everyone. Their operation on a Statelevel depends on a State, while its implemen-tation depends on an individual. On the wayof implementation of human rights the mostimportant issue which is also recognized bythe UN is the education. It is directed to fun-damental values of the society. Each citizenshall be aware of their rights.

The situation in respect to Georgia is asfollows: it is extremely difficult to find a job inGeorgia, and incomes from employment are of-ten not enough to secure one’s own and fami-

ly’s subsistence. Limited employment possibil-ities, dysfunctional labour market dynamicsand low wages, forces the most active part ofthe Georgian population to seek work and in-comes outside the country, even if it results inreduction of their dignity and deprivation oftheir liberty. The planned reorganization andrestructuring of the State management sys-tem resulted in a significant decrease in thenumber of employed.

Current situation revealed the necessityto speed up accession process to the UN andILO conventions that provide the internation-al legal grounds for the regulation of labourmigration. Among them particular attentionshall be drawn to International “Convention onthe Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Work-ers and Members of Their Families”. ILO andother international organizations shall ensurethe assistance and provide recommendationsof international experts on Governmental pol-icy related to irregular migration and traffick-ing issues. The government, society and in-ternational community shall work and carry outactivities in this field together.

The mentioned act was calling for the UN to elaborate theConvention, which would protect the rights of the labour migrants. This particularrecommendation was responded by the Geneva conference of 1978 on fightingagainst racism and racial treatment.

The number of children aged under 18held in detention in all over the world grewdramatically. Increases took place in both theremand and sentenced population. Accordingto UNICEF researches, over 1 million childrenare deprived of their liberty by law enforce-ment officials. At the same time an increasingnumber of juveniles are being prosecuted of-ten for non-violent offences.

Children in detention often suffer viola-tions of their basic rights – including no edu-cation and lack of basic medical care. Fre-quently, the conditions under which they liveare deplorable and inhumane – no heat, in-adequate food, insufficient beds, poor sani-tation facilities and no exercise, cruel and in-human disciplinary measures, insufficientsleeping space and living quarters, poor ornon existent educational and vocational train-ing opportunities, lack of information and littleor no contact with the outside world and etc.Some are kept in solitary confinement for longperiods. Physical abuse is common. In manycases, even the most fundamental principlesof due process are violated. Parents are com-monly denied right to visit and are often notinformed of a child’s whereabouts.

It is clear that institutionalization is an ex-tremely painful process for young offenders.The fact that they have been arrested andplaced in a prison or a juvenile institution stig-matizes them for life, a stigma that is memori-alized in official identity documents and fromwhich they cannot escape as they seek em-ployment and a normal life in the community.Moreover it has repeatedly demonstrated theineffectiveness of both punishment and incar-ceration.

The history of criminal and juvenile jus-tice and the high reconviction rates for youngpeople leaving prison establishment demon-strate the failure of traditional approaches tocrime control based on punishment.

SOME ISSUES OF JUVENILE JUSTICE

Instead of depriving children of liberty, theConvention on the Rights of the Child urgesStates to “seek to promote measures for deal-ing with such children without resorting to ju-dicial proceedings” (Article 40). Entry into theformal justice system can be traumatic and canstigmatize an adolescent. It should thereforebe avoided whenever the matter can be ade-quately dealt with in a less formal way. Diver-sion can take the form of a warning that fu-ture offences will have more serious conse-quences, voluntary acceptance of some formof supervision or counselling, a commitmentto attend school or to avoid persons or plac-es associated with the offence, community ser-vice, or restitution to or reconciliation with thevictim. The alternative to formal adjudicationmust be compatible with the rights of the child,which precludes measures such as corporalpunishment. Therefore, deprivation of person-al liberty shall not be imposed unless the ju-venile is adjudicated of a serious act involv-ing violence against another person or of per-sistence in committing other serious offencesand unless there is no other appropriate re-sponse; The well-being of juvenile should bethe guiding factor in the consideration of herhis case.

Therefore there is a more fundamentalneed to ensure that the numbers of young-sters in custody are kept to an absolute mini-mum. And in order to achieve this goal atten-tion should be paid to the prevention of juve-nile delinquency which requires efforts on thepart of the entire society to ensure the har-monious development of adolescents, withrespect for and promotion of their personalityfrom early childhood. Since there is a highcorrelation between neglect and exposure toviolence during childhood and involvement incrime, society and government are responsi-ble according to Riyadh Guidelines to assistthe family in providing care and protection and

in ensuring the physical and mental wellbeingof children. Government agencies should givehigh priority to programmes for young personsand provide sufficient resources for the effec-tive delivery of services, facilities and staff foradequate medical and mental health care,nutrition, housing and other relevant servic-es, including drug and alcohol abuse preven-tion and treatment, ensuring that such resourc-es reach and actually benefit young persons.The Beijing Rules clearly stresses the impor-tance of the rehabilitation/reintegration pro-cess. Furthermore, the promotion of juvenilewelfare is viewed as only one of the objec-tives of comprehensive social policy for juve-niles that shall, play a crucial role also in pre-vention of juvenile delinquency.

The aim of the paper is to represent theinternational legislation for the protection ofthe children that deprived their liberty

Fundamental principles underlyingany approach to issues of juvenile justiceinclude: – The minimum age for criminal re-sponsibility should be the age of 15 or as closeas possible to that age; – presumption of in-nocence; – due process guarantees; – imme-diate notification of parents or guardians andtheir right to be present upon the apprehen-sion of a juvenile; – avoiding detention beforetrial if possible and ensuring that any pre-trialdetention is for the shortest possible periodand only as the last resort; – right to facilitiesand services that meet all the requirementsof health and human dignity, and to adequatemedical care, both preventive and remedial;– prohibition of all disciplinary measures con-stituting cruel, inhuman or degrading treat-ment including corporal punishment that maycompromise the physical or mental health ofthe juveniles concerned; – right to fair andhumane treatment, including the right to vis-its, to privacy, to communication with the out-side world and to time for daily exercise; – pro-vision of education (provided outside the de-tention facility by qualified teachers) suited tohis her needs and designed to prepare himher for return to society; – ensuring that chil-dren are detained separately from adults un-less they are members of the same family; –prohibition of death penalty

A proper approach to juvenile justice alsorequires that efforts be made to prevent chil-dren coming into conflict with the law in thefirst place.

Juvenile justice is a broad topic coveringprevention of delinquency, the type of offenc-es with which children may be charged andthe way they are treated by the police, by thecourts and in facilities for juvenile offenders.Therefore it is a multiple, inter-connected func-tional systems with different players .

The functioning of a specific JJ system isoften judged by whether it is:• effective; and• fair and humane – It must respect human

dignity judged by references to internation-al, regional and domestic JJ and HR stan-dards and be considerate of the develop-mental needs (well-being) of a juvenileinvolved.Therefore states have to balance interest

of the vulnerable juveniles from one hand andprotection of society from the other througheffective use of state resources.

The aim of Juvenile Jusice system is toencourage a behavioral change of a juvenileinvolved by helping him/her to feel account-able and to understand the consequences ofhis/her actions; avoid or minimize interventionby the formal justice system; promote reinte-gration as the main goal of treatment; employother than punitive responses (such as depri-vation of liberty).

In order to avoid or minimize the interven-tion by the formal justice system, various al-ternative programs were developed to reachthat aim. But the alternative programs aredesigned and limited to the: 1. first-time of-fenders, 2. offenders accused of non-seriousacts 3. offenders who admit the offence:

Alternative programs include: 1. policecaution – the police decide not to press for-mal charges but simply to warn the juvenileand parents that any recurrence of that be-havior will result in a court appearance; 2.French Rappel a la loi – formal meeting ofrepresentatives of court, juvenile and parentswithin which the juvenile is appraised of thelegal text relating to the offence as well as ofthe potential sentences of the court; 3. Screen-ing process carried out by a social workerbefore the court appearance and offer that ifthe juvenile agrees to the offence and thancan satisfactorily complete a special coursethe prosecution will drop the case.

In Scotland “children’s hearings” systemconditions of the hearing are less formal andadversarial than in court setting; a panel of

Page 168: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

trained lay members discusses the act with thejuvenile, family, teachers and social workerand decides on disposition based on the ju-venile’s welfare. Decision is subject to client’sappeal. While the ”village justice system” inthe Philippines involves mediation schemedesigned to bring about mutually acceptablesettlement and etc.

Children suspected of committing an offencehave the same rights as adults, including theright to be presumed innocent, the right toprivacy (which includes the right not to besearched without sufficient cause), the rightnot to be obliged to give information and theright not to be interrogated without the pres-ence of an advisor. In addition, they have theright to special protection, which includes theright not to be confined with adults and theright to have their families or another responsi-ble adult notified of their situation immediately.

Article 37(b) of the Convention on the Rightsof the Child states that: “No child shall be de-prived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbi-trarily”. It adds that “the arrest, detention or im-prisonment of a child shall be used only as ameasure of last resort and for the shortestappropriate period of time”. This applies to allphases of proceedings, from investigation tosentencing.

With regard to adolescents under inves-tigation or awaiting trial, the ‘last resort’ re-quirement means that detention is not warrant-ed unless there is no other way to avoid asubstantial risk of flight, the commission ofadditional offences or tampering with evi-dence. The payment of caution (bail) as analternative to detention prior to trial is not ap-propriate because it discriminates againstadolescents from poor families. Where thefamily’s ability to ensure effective supervisionis uncertain, additional forms of supervisionconditions may be imposed or the child maybe placed in foster care on a temporary ba-sis. In the case of children who have left homedue to abuse or neglect, or whose family can-not be identified or located, release into thecare and supervision of another responsibleadult or organization should be considered.When the detention of an adolescent await-ing trial is unavoidable, priority should be giv-en to completing the trial as soon as possible.

Adolescents in detention have the samebasic human rights as other persons, includ-ing the right to humane treatment, the right to

contact with their families, the right to be in-formed of the reasons for detention, the rightto legal assistance and the right to challengethe legality of the deprivation of liberty. In ad-dition, they have the right laid out in Article 37of the UNCRC not to be detained with adultsand the right to be treated in accordance withthe needs of persons of their age. Accordingto article 37(c) of the Convention of the Rightsof the Child: “every child deprived of his orher liberty shall be separated from adults, withthe exception of unusual cases in which it isnot in the child’s best interest maintain suchseparation”. It is a great matter of concern thatin most countries there are not young offend-ers institutions designed for girls. Thereforethey are held together with adult prisonersdespite concerns that they may learn criminalskills from mixing with adult offenders1. Theright not to be detained with adults is intend-ed primarily to prevent abuse, exploitation orvictimization by other prisoners.

Sentences should be kept as short aspossible (short-term incarceration) while alter-native sanctions (community services, work topay the damages incurred, and attendanceof learning schemes) could be adopted in cas-es of non-severe offences. Despite their suc-cess, most community alternatives still only playa marginal role in most justice systems. More-over, great importance should be placed onjuvenile crime prevention and comprehensiveresettlement support should be made availableto all youngsters leaving young offender in-stitution in order to minimise the currently highrisk of re-offending and imprisonment. Chil-dren’s special needs and life circumstanceswhile deprived liberty require a special res-ponse from society in law and in practice.

“Juveniles detained in facilities should beguaranteed the benefit of meaningful activitiesand programmes which would serve to promoteand sustain their health and self-respect, tofoster their sense of responsibility and encour-age those attitudes and skills that will assistthem in developing their potential as membersof society” (UN Rules for the Protection of Ju-veniles Deprived of their Liberty, Rule 12).

There is also a need for effective pro-grammes that help adolescents involved incrime overcome their problems, and assistthem in preparing for life as law-abiding mem-bers of society.

The system for the rehabilitation of juve-nile offenders should ensure the following:1. availability of Non-residential programmes,including guidance and supervision, proba-tion, community service, compensation andrestitution to the victim and group counselling;2.Residential facilities should be small enoughto facilitate individual treatment, and be de-centralized so as to permit juveniles to receivetreatment near their community; 3. availabilityof residential rehabilitation programmes in-volving education, counselling, vocationaltraining and recreation, adapted to the needsof the different types of offenders, in cooper-ation with community-based services and pro-grammes when possible; 4. isolation from thecommunity should be no greater than neces-sary, and contact between the residents andtheir families should be encouraged and fa-cilitated, unless it would be contrary to the in-terests of the child; 5. Effective, independentmechanisms established to investigate com-plaints against law enforcement agencies orofficials alleging violations of the rights of thechild.

INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS

Involvement with juvenile justice systemsis a reality for a great number of children andadolescents. Addressing this growing concern,the United Nations has adopted a number ofinternational instruments directly dealing withchildren’s rights and juvenile delinquency.

The most important instrument for juve-nile justice is the UNCRC ( specifically articles37, 39, 40) supported by the UN Minimum Stan-dards and Norms in Juvenile Justice. The min-imum standards are made up of the UnitedNations Standard Minimum Rules for the Ad-ministration of Juvenile Justice (the ‘BeijingRules’), the United Nations Guidelines on thePrevention of Delinquency (the ‘Riyadh Guide-lines’) and the United Nations Rules on theProtection of Juveniles Deprived of Liberty.The UN Minimum Rules for the protection ofJuveniles deprived of their Liberty (HavanaRules) and the more recent Vienna Guidelinesfor action on Children in Criminal Justice Sys-tem. The UN minimum standards and Normssupplement expand and support the provi-sions in the UNCRC. Although guidelines arenot binding for Georgia directly, “together theyconstitute a comprehensive set of universal

standards and set out desirable practices tobe pursued by the world community.

The UNCRC makes it clear that the inher-ent special needs and vulnerability of childrenmust be taken into account in the implementa-tion and development of laws on juvenile jus-tice. The primary goal of a juvenile justice sys-tem should not be that of punishment for thecrime, but rehabilitation and reintegration of thejuvenile.

International instruments setting out stan-dards and containing guidelines for adminis-tration of juvenile justice have existed for sev-eral decades. However the rights, norms andprinciples involved are regularly ignored, ex-tensively disregarded and sometimes alsoseriously violated. Despite the fact, that allstate parties to the UNCRC (even with transi-tional or week economies) are obliged to “al-locate the maximum extent of its available re-sources for the implementation of the Conven-tion and priority give to children.”2 The chal-lenge nowadays is to transform the universalacceptance of children’s rights into universalobservance of these rights.

I. Un Convention on the Rights of theChild: The UNCRC (1989) – The Conventionon the Rights of the Child is the first internation-al instrument to adopt a coherent child rightsapproach to the international legal regulationof the deprivation of liberty of children. Themost specific articles of the CRC in relation tojuvenile justice are Art. 37 & 40. Article 37(1)of the Convention on the rights of the Childspecifically protects children deprived of theirliberty from violations of their due process andpersonal integrity rights. It:• prohibits torture, cruel, inhuman, degrad-

ing treatment or punishment, capital pun-ishment and life imprisonment, arbitrary orillegal arrest, detention or imprisonment;

• stipulates that arrest and detention shallonly be used as a last resort and for theshortest appropriate period of time; and

• describes the right of children deprived oftheir liberty to be treated with humanity,respect and dignity in a manner that takesinto account their age, to be separated fromadults, to maintain family contact, to haveprompt access to legal and other assis-tance, to challenge the legality of theirdetention and to expect a prompt decisionin relation to any resulting action.

Moreover, article 40 covers the rights ofall children in conflict with the law relates to mat-ters such as the principle of nullum crimen sinelege; the minimum procedural safeguards tobe guaranteed at all stages of penal proceed-ings; the establishment of laws, procedures,authorities and institutions specifically appli-cable to children alleged as, accused of, orrecognized as having infringed the Penal Law,including a minimum age for criminal respon-sibility; Treatment of children in conflict withlaw in a manner consistent with the promotionof the child’s sense of dignity and worth, whichreinforces the child’s respect for the humanrights and fundamental freedoms of othersand which takes into account the child’s ageand the desirability of promoting the child’sreintegration and the child’s assuming a con-structive role in society and the availability ofalternatives to institutional care. It requiresStates Parties to promote a distinctive systemof juvenile justice with specific positive ratherthan punitive aims.

Un Minimum Rules for the Administra-tion of Juvenile Justice: The Beljinc Rules(1985) – The Beijing Rules were the first inter-national legal instrument to lay down compre-hensively rules for the administration of juve-nile justice. They actually predate the UNCRCand are specifically mentioned in the Pream-ble of the latter.

The Beijing Rules, provide guidance toStates for the protection of children’s right andrespect for their needs in the development ofseparate and specialised systems of juvenilejustice.

States are urged to use all the resourcesavailable, “including the family, volunteers andother community groups, as well as schools andother community institutions” to reach two goals:

(1) to minimize necessity for “interventionunder the law and

(2) to reduce harm that may be causedby such intervention by “dealing with juvenilesin conflict with the law effectively, fairly andhumanely”.

The Beijing Rules stipulate that detentionshould be used only as a last resort (ultimumrefugium) and for the shortest possible peri-od of time and therefore encourage the useof alternatives to institutionalisation to themaximum extent possible. Young people who areidentified as having committed an offence are

best helped by the principle of minimum inter-vention.

According to the Beijing Rules the age ofcriminal responsibility should not be “too low,bearing in mind the facts of emotional, mentaland intellectual maturity of the juvenile; basicprocedural safeguards should be guaranteedat all stages of proceedings3; preferenceshould be given to diversion; pre-trial deten-tion should be used “only as a measure of lastresort and for the shortest possible period oftime”, detainees should be kept separate fromadults and should receive necessary care,protection and assistance; prohibition of cap-ital or corporate punishment; strict limitationwhere deprivation of liberty is a possibility;least possible use of institutionalization. Treat-ment of juveniles placed in institutions shouldprovide care, protection, education and vo-cational training; special attention to youngfemale offenders, right to access for parentsor guardians. Adequate academic and/or vo-cational training should be provided to ensurethat “they do not leave the institution at aneducational disadvantage”; possibility of fre-quent and early recourse to conditional re-lease and etc.

UN Guidelines for the Prevention ofJuvenile Delinquency (The Riyadh Guide-lines) – The Riyadh Guidelines represent acompre-hensive approach to prevention andsocial reintegration. Prevention or rather itsgoals shall not be limited to protection of soci-eties or crime control but shall be informed bythe well being of your person from the earlychildhood, which should be the “focus of anypreventive program”. The Guidelines call forchild-centered orientation, progressive delin-quency prevention policies and continuous im-provement and development of measures.

The Riyadh Guidelines also call for theenactment of specific laws and procedures topromote and protect rights of juveniles; thedecriminalization of status offences; the es-tablishment of an office of ombudsman or sim-ilar independent body as well as the trainingof the personnel working with juveniles.

Un Rules for Protection of JuvenilesDeprived of Their Liberty: The JDLs –Com-pared to the Beijing Rules and Riyadh Guide-lines, the JDLs set out far more detailed rulesto follow focused on ensuring, even in thedetention in closed facilities, full respect for the

human dignity and fundamental HR of detainedjuveniles.

The UN Rules for the Protection of Juve-niles Deprived of their Liberty set forth a com-prehensive approach to the rehabilitation ofjuvenile offenders, inspired by the Conventionon the Rights of the Child. Some of the mainprinciples are:• Facilities should be decentralized, to pre-

vent juveniles from being detained far fromtheir families and communities, and smallenough to allow for individualized atten-tion.

• The system should include open or semi-open facilities, to meet the needs of chil-dren who require a residential setting butdo not pose a serious danger to the com-munity.

• Treatment should begin with an evalua-tion of the needs of the individual, andshould include appropriate forms of educa-tion, work, spiritual and psychosocial coun-selling, recreation and care of medicalproblems, including drug or alcohol de-pendency.

• Respect for the rights of the child is es-sential to rehabilitation, because it encour-ages respect for the rights of others.According to the JDs detention before

trial shall be avoided to the extent possible;all efforts should be made to apply alternativemeasures; if preventive detention is used, pri-ority should be on a speedy trial to ensurethe short detention periods; juveniles in pre-trial detention should be presumed innocent;they should have the right to free legal aidand communicate with their counsels; theyshould have a chance to pursue work (withremuneration), education or vocational train-ing and to receive and retain materials for theirleisure and recreation.

Concerning Management of juvenilefacilities JDs states, that juveniles shouldnot be detained without a valid commitmentorder ; individual record file should be estab-lished for each juvenile which should be con-fidential, however information from the fileshould be contestable by juvenile concerned.Juveniles should be separated from adultsunless they are members of the same family

Deprivation of liberty should only be infacilities which meat all the requirements ofhealth and human dignity. Sleeping accommo-dation should consist of small group dormito-

ries or individual bedrooms; sanitary installationsshould be sufficient and suitable for physicalneeds and privacy; the possession of personalclothing and effects should be allowed; cloth-ing should be suitable for the climate and ad-equate to ensure good health; food should besuitably prepared and presented at normalmeal times; clean drinking water should beavailable, preventive and remedial medicalcare should be adequate; education shouldtake place in community schools and juvenilesshould have access to appropriate educationalprograms, library and vocational training. Atthe same time, juveniles should have the oppor-tunity to work and receive an equitable remu-neration. Recreation activities as well as prac-tice of one’s religion shall be allowed supported;

Juveniles should have adequate commu-nication with the outside world, including butnot limited to family members and friends; ju-veniles should be permitted to leave the facil-ities for visits to their family homes or for edu-cational, vocational or other important reasons;they should also have the right to receive reg-ular and frequent visits, the right to communi-cate in writing or by phone and the opportuni-ty to keep themselves informed regularly ofthe news.

Recourse or physical restraint or the useof force should be limited to exceptional cas-es and only as explicitly authorized by law orregulation; even then they should not causehumiliation or degradation and be used onlyfor the shortest possible time; carrying of weap-ons by personnel should be prohibited; Reg-ular inspections should be conducted by qual-ified independent inspectors and each inspec-tion should finish with a report; facts indicat-ing a violation of rights of juveniles or opera-tion of a detention facility should be commu-nicated to competent authorities.

JDs also sets rules for disciplinary proceed-ings and rules for complaints by juveniles.

Un Resolution 1997/30 Administrationof Juvenile Justice: The Vienna Guide-lines (1997). This program of action providesa comprehensive set of measures aimed atestablishing a well-functioning system of ju-venile justice administration according to theCRC, Beijing Rules, Riyadh Guidelines andJDLs and promoting effective use and appli-cation of these int’l standards. The topic ofchild victims and witnesses is given a specialconsideration.

According to the Guidelines comprehen-sive child-centered juvenile justice processshould be established; states should specialprocedures designed to take into account thespecific needs of children; principle of mini-mum intervention should be developed; theplacement of children in closed institutionsshould be reduced;

Instruments Adopted by Council ofEurope – Prior to 1989, the Council’s two maintreaties – the European Convention for theProtection of Human Rights and Fundamen-tal Freedoms (1950) (ECHR) and the Euro-pean Social Charter (1961) did not containany specific provisions relating to the rightsof children. However, references to the rightsof children can be found in several articles ofthe ECHR4.

In 1996 European Convention on theExercise of Children’s Rights was adopt-ed. The objective of this Convention is to pro-mote the [children’s] rights, to grant them pro-cedural rights and to facilitate the exercise ofthese rights by ensuring that children are …informed and allowed to participate in proceed-ings affecting them before a judicial authority.The Convention strengthens and creates pro-cedural rights of children and determinesroles, duties and responsibilities of the stateand its agents.

Although Georgian legislative acts – Crim-inal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and Pris-on Laws provide special treatment of juvenileoffenders, it is too early to speak about the ex-istence and development of juvenile justice inGeorgia.

Juvenile cases are tried in the commoncourt. This fact shows that despite particular le-gal norms, Georgian justice does not consid-er juvenile legal procedure as an independentprocedure, while it is principally and substan-tially different from common legal proceduresof adults. Judges do not have discretionarypower of individual approach to juvenile crimes.

In general practice, the activities in thedirection of education and correction of juve-nile offenders are limited, which seriously im-pedes their further re-socialization.

The overall design of the facilities in Geor-gia and physical environment is not in keenwith the rehabilitative aim of juvenile justice.Juveniles are not guaranteed the benefit ofmeaningful activities or programmes that willassist them to develop their potential as mem-

bers of society.. There is sant regard to theneed of the detainees for privacy sensory stim-uli, opportunities for association with peers andparticipation in education, work sport, physi-cal exercise or leisure time activities as re-quired by the UN Rules on Juveniles Deprivedof their Liberty. .Sleeping accommodation didnot meet the required standards, the food isinadequate and etc. But of far greater con-cern is the length of time for which childrenare locked up in cells and the consequent lackof exercise. The long periods of time spent byyoung people In the prison system makes itextremely difficult for them to be rehabilitatedin the community. Family ties and communityties will have been lost, education neglectedwith little possibility of employment both dueto the stigma of having been imprisoned andthe failure to acquire any vocational skills.

Although there are four social worker staffat the prison there appears to be no planningfor when a child is released. Thus some chil-dren find themselves with no accommodation,job or skills on release, making the risk of re-offending high. There needs to be coopera-tion between probation and the staff in Avchalato ensure that a child’s release is properlyplanned and arrangements for the child’s sup-port are in place and ensure that each childwho has served a term of imprisonment has adischarge care plan before release.

Despite the fact, that placing juveniles incustody is expensive, unfortunately there is alack of community-based alternates to custo-dy. Although the Criminal Code provides thejudge with a range of possible non-custodialsanctions when sentencing, in practice, theoptions are few and there are an inadequaterange of alternatives to detention.

Under current procedure, once a child isarrested he/she will be detained in the policeisolator for up to 48 hours while an investiga-tion is conducted and a decision made as towhether there is evidence to charge the child.The conditions in the isolator do not at presentconform to international minimum standards.The police lack flexibility: they do not have thepower to release the child into the care of hisparents or guardian during this time, to give awarning as an alternative to detention and in-vestigation or generally to divert children awayfrom the criminal justice system even if thechild admits his/her guilt and confesses to theoffence.

Contrary to the requirements of the UNCRCand the UN Minimum Standars and Norms, thepolice, prosecutors and judges have no pow-er to divert children from the criminal justice sys-tem into community based programmes thataddress offending behavior and work with thechild and his/her family. The establishment ofsuch schemes for first time offenders and re-peat minor offenders would ensure that chil-dren are not taken to court for minor offencesand suffer all te disadvantages that prosecu-tion causes. It would enable children to staywith their families, in education and allow themto receive support.

Rule 6 of the Beijing Rules require thatdecision makers should be able to exercisediscretion at any stage in the criminal process,including in relation to the decision on wheth-er to continue with an investigation or prose-cution. The Rule requires that considerationshould be given wherever appropriate to deal-ing with juvenile offenders without resorting toformal trial. In addition, Rule 10 provides thata judge or other competent body shall withoutdelay consider the issue of release. The po-lice do not have the discretion envisaged inthe Rules. Therefore, the police should be giv-en discretion simply not to proceed with aninvestigation. This does not necessarily meanignoring the offending behavior, but taking al-ternative, diversionary measures to deal withoffending where this is necessary. Policeshould be given the power either to warn achild that further offending may lead to pros-ecution, or to refer a child to a diversion pro-gramme that would address the child’s offend-ing behavior.

The short period of time between arrival atthe police station and the start of questioningdoes not allow time for the parents to arrive atthe police station and to be present at ques-tioning, making this right largely meaningless.

There is no system of summary trial forchildren who admit offences and this leads tounnecessary pre-trial detention. In otherwords no system by which his case can befast-tracked and brought into the court short-ly after charge for final hearing. Instead , thechild must wait in the queue for his case to beheard. This is not in the child’s best interestsand is not using detention as a last resort forthe shortest period of time. It is also deeplyineffective and costly from resource perspec-tive. Consolidated trials would assist the pro-

cess of reducing delay and would reduce thetime children spent in detention.

There does not appear to be any oppor-tunity for the teacher or the lawyer to speakto the child before the questioning begins.Thus there is no opportunity to explain whythey are there, their role or what is going tohappen to the child as a result of being ar-rested. To a great extent the protection pro-vided by the attendance of the teacher andthe lawyer is illusory. Therefore, the lawyershould be entitled to talk to his child client inprivate before any questioning by the policeoccurs.

Courts are frightened and intimidating plac-es for children facing trial who, like adults areplaced in a cage in the court, away from theirparents. At the outset of court hearings, judg-es explain the rights of the accused , but it islikely that many children fail to understand thelegal language used by the judge and are notfamiliar with court procedure. The physicalplacement of the parents so far away from thechild reduces the support that they are ableto offer a child facing trial. In the intimidatingarena of an adult court, it is vital that minorsare adequately represented o ensure that theircase is properly considered and that mitigat-ing factors are presented.

The Beijing Rules lay down detailed onsentencing. Any sanction imposed on a childmust always be proportionate to the circum-stances of the offence and also to the circum-stances and the needs of the juvenile, as wellas the needs of society. The best interest ofthe child should be the guiding principle in anydecision.

The Criminal Code has provisions relat-ing to early release and parole, but these arenot widely used. He court can conditionallyrelease a juvenile sentenced to corrective la-bour or imprisonment before the expiration ofthe term if the court holds that complation ofthe sentence is no longer necessary for cor-rective purposes. Although it is encouragingto see some applications for early release, itwould appear that it is rare to review the sen-tence of a juvenile to determine a need forcustody continues to exist. The failure to re-view amounts to non-compliance with art. 25UNCRC, the ECHR and Rules 32.3 and 28 ofthe Beijing Rules.

Current system of JJ provides too little dis-cretion, flexibility and alternatives to criminal-

ization to meet human rights standards. Oncea child is suspected of a crime he/she will findhimself inexorably drawn into the criminal jus-tice system. Once arrested, the police haveno discretion to discontinue their investigationand divert the child out of the criminal systemand neither does the prosecutor. There is fartoo great a use of pretrial detention and toofew options of non-custodial sentencing avail-able to the courts. The detention facilities pres-ently used for juveniles violate children’srights. In addition there is no juvenile policejuvenile courts and etc.

It is necessary to introduce early interven-tion programmes for children at risk of offend-ing, diversion programmes for those who haveoffended the development of a child friendlyjustice system and alternative, communitybased sentences for children who offend.

Children should no longer be placed inpolice isolators. The small number of children

arrested for serious offences of violence orfor persistent property theft should be placedin secure accommodation. All other childrenshould be released under the supervision oftheir parents or the children’s home in whichthey live.

A range of community based servicesshould be developed nationally, including:• preventive services for children at risk of

anti-social behaviour or offending• a range of pre-trial diversion programmes• a range of alternatives to custodial sen-

tencing and pre-trial detention, includingfostering, supervision.These programmes should be developed

and funded as a matter of urgency and shouldbe made available country wide and for everychild who could benefit.

GIVI MIKANADZE

OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION

Human rights represent universal value.Cultural-historical eras, civilizations and polit-ical forces play considerable roles in their de-velopment.

The concept of human rights derives fromthe natural law doctrine and embraces twomain notions. The first implies that a humanbeing is granted inviolable and inalienablerights. These moral rights originate from hu-man nature of an individual and their purposeis to preserve the sense of self-esteem of ahuman being. The second notion of the con-cept of human rights embodies legal rights.They are established as a result of legal draft-ing processes which take place at both – na-tional and international planes. These rights arebased on the consent of those who shall enjoythese rights, i.e. of legal objects, whereas therights affiliated to the first group are based onthe natural order.

Life and dignity of a human being have beentrampled throughout the history. The idea ofemploying uniform norms without any discrim-ination towards each and every individualemerged several centuries ago. Indeed thereis no society which would have no rules forprotection of certain rights.

Principle of equality of every member ofhuman society, just alike many other basicprinciples, which make up what today callehuman rights, are in principle attributable toall cultures, religions and philosophical tradi-tions. One of such traditions, which derivesfrom religion, is called jus naturale, or naturalrights.

Emergence and establishment of the termhuman rights was preceded with the notion ofnatural rights, widely accepted by XVII centu-ry philosophers and politicians. The conceptof natural rights was on its turn related withthe theory of natural law (lex naturale) elabo-rated by intellectuals of ancient era. “Inviola-ble” or “inalienable rights” were used as syn-onyms to the term “natural rights”.

Jacques Maritain has noted with regardto natural law: Individual human being pos-sesses rights solely due to the fact that he/she is a personality, integral master of himselfand his actions. Thanks to the natural law ahuman being has a right to be respected, be asubject of rights, to possess rights. All of theseare deserved by a human being due to a sin-gle reason of being a human.

During XVIII century first incarnation ofideas related with the “natural rights” resultedinto recognition of norms of “natural law” aslegal norms. The mentioned norms becameconstituents of national constitutions first timein the history of mankind thus depicting con-tractual relationship between a state and anindividual, deriving from which state authoritywas based on the consent of an independentindividual. The 1776 United States Declara-tion of Independence and the 1789 FrenchDeclaration of the Rights of Man and Citizenderive from the above mentioned basis. In thesubsequent period the principle was sharedby a number of European, Latin American andAsian states, which escaped the fate of beingcolonialized.

Despite all the above-mentioned, it can berightly argued that human rights, as political-legal phenomenon is a creature of new andmodern history. It is universally recognized thateach individual is granted rights and obliga-tions prescribed by international law, and stateon its turn is obliged to respect and protectthese rights and freedoms. This standpoint iswell reflected in the United Nations Charter, inthe Preamble of which the Peoples of the Unit-ed Nations have unanimously declared thatthey were determined to reaffirm faith in fun-damental human rights, in the dignity andworth of the human person. United Nations isresolute to “promote and encourage respectfor human rights and for fundamental freedomsfor all without distinction as to race, sex, lan-guage, or religion”.

By introducing the aforementioned valueinto the Charter of the United Nations the fa-thers of the organization laid down foundationfor emerging new field of international law –international law of human rights. The keystonedocument for the latter appeared to be the1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights,adopted and proclaimed by the UN GeneralAssembly Resolution of 10 December 1948.Based on the fact that the Declaration doesnot possess an obligatory character, a num-ber of international instruments (Covenants,Conventions, and Charters) were drafted,which incorporated efficient mechanisms ofhuman rights protection.

The second stage of development andstrengthening human rights was introductionof principles recognized by international lawinto the national constitutions and respectiveharmonization of domestic legislation. At thesame time, in conjunction with introducing suchinternational human rights protection institu-tions as the UN Human Rights Committee, theEuropean Court of Human Rights, Inter-Ameri-can Commission on Human Rights, Inter-Amer-ican Court of Human Rights, African Commis-sion on Human and People’s Rights, it wasnecessitated to create similar institutions atnational levels, to ensure protection of humanrights and freedoms. The necessity served theemerging provision following which human rightsmust be guaranteed not only normatively, butin practice as well.

Approach of a state as a single whole aswell as of its individual bodies with regard tohuman rights is a conspicuous indicator of apolitical system established in the state. Nowa-days, there are almost no highly developedstates which do not have fundamental humanrights and freedoms contained in the consti-tution.

Reflection of human rights and freedomsin constitution creates legal guarantees of re-stricting a state’s possible oppression of anindividual. It is true, that not all the rights andfreedoms can be included into a constitution,if for no other reason than due to the fact thatalong with development of a society the circleof universally recognized rights and freedomsis also expanding.

Constitutional norms provide for protec-tion of rights of an individual by a state and its

bodies. At the same time such a participationof a state does not exclude vigorous actionson behalf of an individual that considerably ex-tends options for protecting interests of a per-son.

Ombudsman institution occupies a partic-ular place among the mechanisms which pro-tect human rights and legal interests of an in-dividual from arbitrariness of state governingbodies. Introduction of ombudsman institutionwas caused by the need of increasing possi-bility of protection of human rights when theyhappen to be violated by state bodies, as wellas the need of decreasing the since of citi-zens of being unprotected vis-a-vis a bureau-cratic system, improving the degree of gover-nance and humanizing relations between aperson and a state.

The word “ombudsman” originates from“umbud” (in the medieval Swedish the wordstood for strength or authority) and, as it seems,must be coming from Icelandic roots, whereasthe Swedish word “umbud” means translatoror representative. According to another view,the word is of a German origin and its rootscome from the early stages of the Germantribes’ life. A person who was convening Ver-geld on behalf of the injured party in a murdercase was called ombudsman. In the past theSwedes and other Scandinavian nations pre-ferred to translate word ombudsman as a“plenipotentiary”, “confident” or “charge d'affai-res”. In line with the third view the roots ofOmbudsman institution originate from Romancensors, tribunes and provincial procurators.

Ombudsman institution was first establishedin Sweden in 1809. This was the time whenthe Swedish Riksdag approved a documenton governance (a constitutional act). Thementioned document was based on Montes-quieu theory of separation of powers. In or-der to put on apart the powers of a King and aParliament the latter was allowed to elect aspecial parliamentary commissioner (ombuds-man) who would oversee the implementationof laws adopted by the Parliament in courtsand other organs of administration.

Right from the beginning an ombudsmanwas equipped with a function of control of ac-tivities of executive and other bodies of au-thority. Ombudsman was charged to protectrights of citizens from arbitrariness of admin-

Ombudsman is defined as entrusted in-dependent person who is authorized by a Par-liament to protect rights of individual citizensand exercise parliamentary control over stateofficials, however he/she does not possess aright to alter decisions made by them.

Since 1919 the similar bodies were intro-duced and incorporated into the legal controlsystem in a number of countries throughoutthe world. Before 1919 the ombudsman insti-tution did not exist anywhere but Sweden. Inthat year the institute was introduced in Finland.

In a Rule of Law state tremendous impor-tance is attached to organs carrying into ef-fect legal and institutional guarantees for hu-man rights protection – constitutional court andinstitution of ombudsman. After World War IIthe world community reached the conclusionthat facts of human rights violation were ham-pering establishment of legal order through-out the world, and this led to the process ofsearching and creating both – international,as well as national mechanisms of humanrights protection. By now in a diverse group ofstates institutions of constitutional control andombudsman are being widely disseminated.

There are more than 100 diversities ofombudsman institution in over 80 countries ofthe contemporary world, though each of themtakes care of protection of human rights andfreedoms in a respective state. The institutewas launched in Denmark and Norway in 1953;however, in Norway it functioned as a martialombudsman’s institution until 1963.

In 1952 representatives of New Zealand –the Prosecutor General and a Deputy Minis-ter of Justice of the country – attending an UNorganized seminar on ombudsman institutionwere flabbergasted after listening to the re-port of the first ombudsman of Denmark Ste-fan Gurvich in Ceylon and a law introducingan institution of ombudsman followed, whichwas adopted on 7 September, 1962.

Whyatt Report, produced by the Englandsection of the International Justice Commis-sion working on the crisis in the administra-tive court system also recommended introduc-tion of ombudsman institution in Great Britain.Despite having many opponents in the state

bureaucracy as well as lacking the support ofthe Prime Minister MacMillan’s ConservativeGovernment, Wilson, who included the issueinto his pre-election campaign program, wonthe elections and Law on Parliamentary Rep-resentative was adopted in three years time,in 1967.

At the edge of 1960-70s the institution wasbeing introduced into a number of US states,in 1973 – in France, in 1976 – in Portugal, in1981 – in Spain, in 1982 – in the Netherlands,in 1988 – in Poland, in 1995 – in Georgia.1

In international practice ombudsman isoften called different names. In particular, it iscalled Mediator in France, Provedor for Jus-tice – in Portugal, Public Defender, like inGeorgia – in Spain, Commissioner – in Poland,etc. Despite such a variety of names the term“ombudsman” has maintained its particularposition, as of international denominator of thismechanism of human rights protection.

The experience proves that ombudsmaninstitution is mostly demanded in cases whendifferent institutions fail to exercise functionsof controlling state authorities and additionalprotection of citizens’ rights from arbitrarinessof an administration is considered necessary.

Creation of ombudsman institution is close-ly linked with both – the theory of separationof powers, as well as contemporary develop-ment of society and broadening the scope ofstate and administrative activities. The latter isa cause of expansion of disagreement betweenstate-administrative bodies and citizens. Thisis supported by a constant increase of numberof people employed in state apparatus, greatnumber of legal acts and regulations, infor-mation deficit over executive branch of thegovernment in parliament, overloading admin-istrative courts with proceedings, etc. In sucha situation a citizen is constantly under thepressure of administrative and other bureau-cratic institutions that causes citizen’s displea-sure and distrust towards a state.

Based on all the above mentioned it canbe concluded that proliferation of ombudsmaninstitution and its inclusion into political-legalsystems of a number of countries is precondi-tioned with the state entering into all socialspheres of life of a society, broadening state’sadministrative functions, through state regu-lations, which strengthen a role of legislative

branch of the government and a position ofadministrative apparatus.

Apart from the above mentioned there areother conditions, which serve as a reason ofcreating an ombudsman institution in a num-ber of states. In general, this is broadening oflegal functions in every field of state activi-ties, extending state’s administrative functions,based on what an executive branch of thegovernment moves onto forefront and a needof personalization and individualization of ad-ministrative decisions emerges. Thus, om-budsman widens traditional parliamentary con-trol functions in relation to other state institu-tions. This is exactly the reason which prompt-ed a number of countries worldwide to fill thegaps in control functions through creation ofombudsman institution.

Ombudsman is not entitled to deal withcomplaints citizens may have against eachother. Field of ombudsman’s activities is limit-ed to relations between a citizen and a statebody, public organization, institution. In a ma-jority of countries ombudsman’s function is onlyconfined to controlling employees of state bod-ies and those who perform on behalf of a stateand undertake administrative functions, whichis a control in the field of “citizen – state insti-tutions” relations. This is internal and a spe-cial control. It is exercised on the initiative ofombudsman, based on the application or com-plaint of citizens.

Often ombudsman not only considers asituation from the angle of compatibility of adecision and action of administration with thelaw, but ombudsman is entitled to study statebodies’ actions in an intricate manner and con-clude on legality and expediency of their ac-tions. This particularly applies to states wherecontrol over compatibility of administration’saction with law is exercised through adminis-trative courts. The result of the control exer-cised is first and foremost observance of rightsof citizens and elimination of shortcomings inactivities of state administration.

In the contemporary world citizens favornon-traditional measures of protection of theirrights. Ombudsman institution is independentand undertakes its functions despite the factthat the institution is a part of a legal controlsystem. Unlike other organs protecting rightsof citizens, activities of ombudsman are more

democratic and strengthened by a principleof serving without any charge. Its role is bestdescribed by two words on a signboard at theentrance door of the Danish ombudsman:“Door’s open”.

The difference from other bodies of lawenforcement is that ombudsman institutiondeals only with individual’s rights. Making ap-plications to the relevant competent bodies itmakes them consider complaints in pursuancewith law. Ombudsman acts independently andpossesses all capacities needed for conduct-ing investigation.

Main function of ombudsman is to revealfacts of human rights violation and to supportrestoration of the infringed rights. To that end,ombudsman supervises activities of state au-thorities, local self-government bodies, officialsand legal entities, evaluates acts passed bythem and provides recommendations and sug-gestions to them. One of the most importantfunctions attributed to ombudsman institutionis conducting public awareness and educa-tion activities in the field of protection of hu-man rights.

Administrative bodies, officials as well aslegal entities are obliged to submit to ombuds-man any materials, documents or other infor-mation, as requested by him/her to exercisehis/her authority. During exercising control om-budsman is entitled to enter any state and lo-cal self-government bodies without restrictions,enterprise, organization and establishment,including armed forces, places of detention,pre-trial imprisonment and deprivation of liberty.

State authority, official or legal entity, whichis given a recommendation or proposal byombudsman, is obliged to consider the sub-mitted and notify ombudsman on the resultsthereafter within the time limits established bylaw. Impeding ombudsman’s activities is pun-ished by law.

Ombudsman’s activity acquires wide pub-lic resonance, as his/her work results are an-nually submitted as a report to a body elect-ing or appointing ombudsman. The latter fur-nishes information about facts of violation ofrights of citizens by executive branch of thegovernment. Annual report facilitates provisionof information to a wider society with regardto situation in the field of human rights pro-tection.

As a rule, in a majority of the countrieswhich have ombudsman’s institution such re-ports are submitted to bodies electing or ap-pointing ombudsman once a year. Public De-fender of Georgia operates on a regulationwhich is exception from the general rule. In1999, when joining Council of Europe, the lat-ter set as one of the conditions to Georgia’smembership of the organization to introducethe following amendments to the Organic Lawon “Public Defender of Georgia”: Public De-fender has to submit reports to the Parliamentnot annually, but biannually. The Parliamentof Georgia, accepting the afore-mentionedrequirement of the Council of Europe, amend-ed the Article 22 paragraph 1 of the OrganicLaw on 23 June 1999. The amendment readsas follows: “Public Defender of Georgia shallsubmit a report on situation regarding protec-tion of human rights and freedoms in the coun-try to the Parliament of Georgia once in everysix months, in March and October of a calen-dar year”.

The foremost purpose of the Report is toinform the ombudsman’s electing or appoint-ing body about situation on protection of hu-man rights and freedoms in a country, identifylegal acts violating human rights and freedoms,along with submitting the recommendation toamend or annul them, divulge state bodies andofficials whose actions resulted into violationof human rights. The level of trust towards theombudsman’s institution and growth of its in-fluence within the wider public largely dependson facts and comments incorporated into om-budsman’s report.

Renowned international researcher workingon the topic of ombudsman’s institution Flein-er-Jester considers that “ombudsman institu-tion may be ascribed to special institutions ofpublic law supervision”. At the same time Rus-sian Professor Boytsova states that “ombuds-man, as a public law institution, serves publicinterests; therefore the reports produced byombudsman may be considered as public com-plaints”.

According to the practice establishedworldwide, ombudsman actively cooperateswith the media and uses it as a means to in-fluence the respective bodies in order to re-store rights violated by them, and disclosegaps identified in activities of the executive

branch of the government. Through relationswith mass media ombudsman provides infor-mation to the society about the work undertak-en and results achieved, which contributes tostrengthen institution’s authority, and its in-creased ability to influence over state author-ities. This, ultimately, provides for better pos-sibility of restoring abused rights of humanbeings.

Despite the fact that ombudsmen through-out the world are committed to reinforce trustbetween an individual and administration,each country has its specificities in relation toparticular goals and objectives, which are iden-tified by a given ombudsman’s institution.Ombudsman works in an environment char-acterizing and specific only to a given coun-try, and respectively, the institution’s set-upand means of operation may differ from acountry to another. This is related with thespecificities of any given state, as well as ad-justing a classical model of ombudsman’s in-stitution to own, in some occasions to abso-lutely unique legal and administrative systems.This is not surprising, as a country, which in-troduces the ombudsman’s institution, tries itsamalgamation into already existing domesticlegal system. This is exactly the reason whyombudsman institutions, despite the commonfeatures, have their unique specific featureswhich are prompted by their national traditions,existing system of control and supervision, dis-tribution of competences between them, etc.

Ombudsman entered the world institution-alism as a legislative organ’s entrusted bodyto deal with protection of human rights, how-ever it is not a legislative institution; thereforestressing its independence in both – theoryand practice is appropriate. It is true that om-budsman expands and fills in the parliamen-tary oversight functions with regard to otherstate institutions, however he/she is at thesame time accountable to a legislative organalong with acting independently, being freefrom pressure of any other state body or offi-cial. Ombudsman abides only by law which it-self ascertains ombudsman’s independenceat the normative level, or more specifically,creates legal basis for such independence.The fact that this institution does not belongto any branches of government also reflectsindependence of ombudsman. Often degree

of efficiency of activities of an ombudsman anda factor of public trust toward the institutiondirectly depend on the personal authority ofan individual occupying a position of ombu-dsman.

Guaranteeing ombudsman’s indepen-dence defines efficiency of his activities. In thisregard great importance is attached to a bodywhich elects or appoints an ombudsman. Inmajority of countries ombudsman is electedby a supreme legislative body. However, thereare countries where ombudsman has turnedinto institution appointed by executive branchof the government. In particular, mediator isappointed in France by a decree of a Conseild’Etat, Parliamentary Commissioner is ap-pointed by the Queen of the United Kingdom.

While discussing guarantees provided toan ombudsman, legally fixed possibility of pre-term termination of authority of an ombuds-man can not be omitted. In majority of casesthe reasons are identical to those identified inthe Organic Law of Georgia, which include los-ing nationality of the country, failure to per-form as a Public Defender during consecutive4 months, rendering a final judgment of con-viction against him/her, recognition by a courtas legally incapable, missing or dead, occu-pation of a position or engagement in an ac-tivity incompatible with his/her status, resig-nation from office by a personal applicationand death. In case of the Netherlands theremay also be a case when a national ombuds-man is subjected to guardianship by a courtdecision, is announced bankrupt, acceptsmoratorium or is imprisoned due to indebted-ness2; also, if he/she deserves serious non-confidence of a lower house due to his/heraction or inaction. Possibility of pre-term ter-mination of authority of an ombudsman is en-visaged by the Swedish law as well. Pre-termtermination of authority of Commissioner ofPoland is possible in case of breaching oathby ombudsman.

Guaranteeing inviolability strengthens in-dependence and impartiality of an ombuds-man. Legislation of a majority of states pro-hibits subjecting ombudsman to criminal lia-bility, detention or imprisonment, search of hisapartment, car, workplace or person without apreliminary consent of an organ who has elect-ed or appointed ombudsman. The exception

is made in cases when ombudsman is caughtflagrante delicto, which shall be immediatelynotified to an organ who has elected or ap-pointed ombudsman and appropriate proce-dural actions may be undertaken only with theconsent of that body; if no such a consent isacquired, a detained or imprisoned ombuds-man shall be immediately released.

Additional guarantee of ombudsman’s inde-pendent action is a right attributed to the lat-ter not to testify on the fact disclosed to him/her as to the ombudsman. This right is alsoreserved to an ombudsman after the termina-tion of his/her office. Another important guar-antee is also that an ombudsman shall not bepreceded on the account of ideas and opin-ions expressed by him/her while performinghis/her duties.

In terms of financial independence it isrecognized that a separate budget line shallbe allocated to the ombudsman’s expendi-tures in the state budget. At the same time,there is a set practice in many countries inline with which amount allocated to the om-budsman institution from the state budget maynot be less than that in a preceding year.

Based upon all the above mentioned con-clusion may follow that ombudsman has acquiredlegal and public recognition in the states witha diverse forms of governance – being con-stitutional monarchy, presidential republic,parliamentary republic. Ombudsman institutionsuccessfully operates in states belonging todifferent legal systems (Anglo-Saxon and Con-tinental).

The fact that ombudsman’s institution fitswell into any state order can be explained withthe fact that all the states have bureaucraticproblems. Widening administrative functionsof a state and broadening state regulationresult into decrease of importance of legisla-tive body and strengthening positions of ex-ecutive power. Administrative bodies wittinglydeviating from observing legal and ethicalnorms may also not be ruled out.

Introduction of ombudsman’s institution inthe countries which differ from Sweden in termsof system of governance, administrative-politi-cal arrangements, social and historic peculiar-ities was accompanied with a number of diffi-culties. Despite the overextended period ofrecognizing the idea of ombudsman’s institu-

of Georgia, the Organic Law on Public Defender of Georgia was adopted on 16

May 1996 and the first Public Defender was elected by Parliament on 29 October

Rights “No one shall be imprisoned merely on the ground of inability to fulfill a

tion outside Scandinavian states, the institu-tion proved its importance and what is impor-tant, it perfectly conjuncts with the nationallegal systems of various countries despite thefact, whether they recognize a principle ofseparation of powers or grant a priority to ex-ecutive branch of government.

Flexibility of ombudsman’s institution wasrevealed in its successful activities both in theUnitarian as well as Federal states. The spe-cific conditions, which preceded creation of the

institution, provided for a significant transfor-mation of the traditional Scandinavian model.Ombudsmen offices in each of the countrieswere solving emerging problems on their ownway. Indeed this is exactly the reason why acomparative analysis of legal institution ofombudsman is difficult. Peculiarities and dis-tinguishing features, as well as somewhat dif-ferent histories of national, state mechanismsare expressed in its creation and functioning.

GAPS OF THE LAW OF GEORGIA"ON INTERNATIONAL TREATIES OF GEORGIA"

1. INTRODUCTION

International treaties play an importantrole in the legal system of Georgia. In accor-dance with the Constitution of Georgia: "... Aninternational treaty or agreement of Georgiaunless it contradicts the Constitution of Geor-gia, the Constitutional Agreement, shall takeprecedence over domestic normative acts".1

International treaty is a part of the legislationof Georgia and the source of domestic law,which can impose the rights and obligationsto the legal and physical persons. The Statesare independent to determine the place of theinternational treaties into the hierarchy of do-mestic norms.2 Precedence of internationaltreaties over the law have been recognizedby the number of States, including majority ofthe States, that at the beginning of 90 obtainedor regained its State independence.

In order to implement the aforementionednorm of the Constitution of Georgia, the Lawof Georgia "on International Treaties of Geor-gia" was adopted on October 16, 1997, whichwas adjusted to the Georgian reality of 90s.Adoption of this law in 1997 formed the basisfor establishment of modern practice in Georgiawith respect to the law of international treaties.

Resent developments in Georgia result-ed in range of legislative amendments, includ-ing Constitutional changes.3 The Law of Geor-gia "on the Structure, Authority and Rules ofOperation of the Government of Georgia" wasadopted. Legal and practical problems regard-ing the implementation of Law "on InternationalTreaties of Georgia" have emerged as an out-come of the mention amendments.

2. THE PROBLEMS OF LEGAL NATUREEMERGED IN THE PROCESS OFIMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW

From the legal perspective it should benoted that the Law on "International Treaties

of Georgia" makes no provision for the com-petence of the Prime Minister, as the head ofGovernment inconcluding, implementing andterminating international treaty, which does notcomply with the Constitution of the country aswell as the international obligations assumedby Georgia, in particular provisions of the Vi-enna Convention on "the Law of Treaties" of1969 determining competences of the Headsof Governments. On the one hand the PrimeMinister of Georgia according to the above-mentioned Convention, for the purpose ofadopting or authenticating the text of a treatyor for the purpose of expressing the consentof the State to be bound by a treaty, ex officiowithout having to produce any powers is con-sidered as a representative of the State, buton the other hand no domestic mechanism,reflecting the implementation of its powers bythe Prime Minister is established, which in aview of practical implementation of the Con-vention creates the difficulties of technical aswell as legal nature.

In accordance with the legislation of Geor-gia, the role of the executive authority in theprocess of concluding the international treatyis broader than the role of the legislative au-thority, which is reasoned by the internationalpractice, Georgian legal traditions and domi-nating role of the executive authority in thefield of international relations in general.4 Ac-cordingto the law of Georgia "on InternationalTreaties of Georgia" the competence of theexecutive authority includes the following: ini-tiating conclusion of international treaty, de-livering of powers, conducting negotiations withother States, participating in the process ofadoption and authentication of the text of atreaty, signing a treaty, controlling perfor-mance of international treaties and implement-ing the procedures of termination of those in-ternational treaties, on which the consent of aState to be bound by a treaty is expressed.

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

The law of Georgia "on International Trea-ties of Georgia" provides for three categoriesof international treaties: interstate, intergov-ernmental and interagency.5 Decision on theconclusion of interstate and intergovernmen-tal treaties shall be made by the President ofGeorgia, but the decision on the conclusionof interagency treaty shall be made by theMinister of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the role ofthe Prime Minister of Georgia is combined withthe President. The latter was considered asthe Head of State as well as the Head of exec-utive authority upon the adoption of the law.Therefore, considering current reality, it isimportant to put forward the significance of theof Prime Minister and determine its compe-tence in relation with the activities connectedto international treaties.

It would be reasonable if the decision onthe conclusion of intergovernmental treatiesis made by the Prime Minister as the Head ofGovernment of Georgia. Consequently, anyaction related to the conclusion of internation-al treaties of intergovernmental nature or ter-mination of its operation shall be implement-ed by the direct participation of the Prime Min-ister.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE CONCLUSION

OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES

In spite of the particular form of express-ing the consent to be bound by a treaty by ex-ecutive or legislative authority (signature, rat-ification, acceptance, approval, accession,exchange of instruments, which constitute atreaty), the appropriate internal proceduresunder the relevant law shall be conducted onany type of aforementioned draft treaty.

On initial stage, the existence of the advi-sory institute shall be underscored, which isextremely flexible and simplified form in com-parison with the proposals on the conclusionof international treaties, which shall passthrough the domestic procedures stipulatedby the law. In case of non acceptance of rec-ommendation, its consideration shall be ter-minated without complex and extensive pro-cedure of examination of expediency of theconclusion of international treaty by the rele-vant Ministries. Following to the law the Par-liament of Georgia, the Supreme Court ofGeorgia and the Public Defender of Georgia

are entitled to submit recommendation.6 Mem-ber of Parliament within his/her competencemay also submit recommendation on conclu-sion of international treaty. It is also importantto entitle the Constitutional Court of Georgia,the Supreme Councils of Autonomous Repub-lics of Adjaria and Afkhazia to submit recom-mendation which is not envisaged by the law.In accordance with the existing law "recom-mendations on the conclusion of internationaltreaties shall include the motivation on expe-diency", which is quite an unclear provisionand in practice, usually becomes subject todiverse interpretation. Therefore, it would beadvisable to define that the recommendationson the conclusion of international treaties shallinclude the text of international treaty in Geor-gian language and explanatory memorandumon the expediency of concluding the treaty.

4. PROPOSAL TO FOREIGN STATEOR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

ON THE CONCLUSION OF A TREATY

The law does not stipulate when the pro-posal to foreign State or international organi-zation on the conclusion of a treaty is consid-ered to be officially submitted. In practice,there are number of cases when the draft in-ternational treaty is delivered to the first per-sons of the country during the official visits.Consequently, it is important to determine thattreaty is considered to be submitted if it is pre-sented to the President of Georgia, Prime Min-ister of Georgia, high political officials or if it isdelivered to Georgian party through the dip-lomatic channels.7

5. DIFFICULTIES ARISEN DURINGTHE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW

In accordance with the existinglaw propos-al regarding the conclusion of the internationaltreaty shall be submitted to the President ofGeorgia by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ofGeorgia. The central bodies of executive au-thority are also entitled to submit a proposal.According to the law of Georgia "on Structure,Authority and Rules of Operation of the Gov-ernment of Georgia", the Government of Geor-gia shall provide for implementation of theexecutive power,8 which shall consist of thePrime Minister and Ministers including State

Page 202: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

201

Ministers. Consequently, all bodies of the Gov-ernment including Ministries as well as theState Ministers shouid have the right to sub-mit a proposal on the conclusion of interna-tional treaty.

The proposal shall be submitted to theMinistry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, the lat-ter submits these proposals to the Ministry ofJustice of Georgia for conclusion on the com-patibility of a treaty with the legislation of Geor-gia and on possible legal effects, to the Minis-try of Finance – for the conclusion on possi-ble financial-economic outcomes of a treatyand also to the relevant central body of exec-utive authority.9 In practice, the abovemen-tioned procedure is extended in time and israther complicated, since the interpretation ofthe general provision of law is made in a dif-ferent ways by the Ministries and the Adminis-tration of the President. In order to increasethe role of the Ministries as the lobbies of atreaty within their competence and to simplifythe abovementioned procedure, the propos-als of different Ministries submitted to the Min-istry of Foreign Affairs shall be comprehen-sive and include the following: a) text of theinternational treaty in Georgian language;b) explanatory memorandum; c) opinion of theMinistry of Foreign Affairs on possible foreignpolitical outcomes of International treaty;d) opinions of the Ministry of Justice on thecompatibility of a treaty with the legislation ofGeorgia and on possible legal effects and incase of necessity draft law on amendmentsand addenda into the normative acts of Geor-gia; e) opinion of the Ministry of Finance onpossible financial-economic outcomes of atreaty; f) opinion of relevant competent author-ity/authorities; g) paper of agreement includ-ing well-grounded arguments on acceptanceor non acceptance of these opinions; h) nameof the Ministry/Ministries responsible for theimplementation of a treaty (whole package).On the bases of final analysis of the Ministryof Foreign Affairs this package shall be pre-sented to the Administration of the President,which will reinforce the role of the Ministry ofForeign Affairs as a central authority for mak-ing political decisions. It is important to bementione that the proposal on conclusion ofintergovernmental treaty shouldl be submittedto the Prime Minister of Georgia.

6. ACCEPTANCE OF INTERNATIONAL

TREATY, AS ONE OF THE FORMS OF

CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY A TREATY

Existing current legislation does not providefor acceptana asa form of expression of con-sent to be bound by treaty .

Acceptance of international treaty is a re-sent form of the consent of the State to bebound by a treaty. However, innovation is rath-er terminological then conceptual, which isproved by a treaty practice of the States andthe fact that the same procedure in one caseis considered as acceptance of a treaty andin other cases as accession to a treaty. Forexample, the Constitution of UNESCO providesfor that the States may accede to the Consti-tution through its acceptance,10 which shall bedone by delivering the official document onthe acceptance of a treaty to the SecretaryGeneral of the UN.

In some cases the acceptance of a treatymay be applied instead of the ratification. Thisis possible when international treaty by to itsgoal and objective is not the subject to ratifi-cation. Mostly the term "acceptance" is includ-ed into the text of a treaty, as an alternativeform of consent of a State to be bound by atreaty.

Acceptance as well as approval shall beformed documentary. In opposite to the ratifi-cation instrument, document of the accep-tance and approval does not have clearly de-termined form. Generally it is a letter or ver-bal note, which on behalf of the Governmentis signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs orits deputy, although even in this case it is pos-sible to exchange these documents or submitthem to the depository for the filing.11

In a view of proper implementation of Arti-cle 14 of the (1969) Vienna Convention "onthe Law of Treaty" in practice, and consider-ing the fact that multilateral international trea-ties often provide for the acceptance as oneof the forms of consent of the State to bebound by a treaty, it is essential to establishparticular legal mechanism by Georgian do-mestic legislation and to define which Stateshall have authority to accept internationaltreaty as a form of consent of the State to bebound by a treaty.

7. PROVISIONAL APPLICATIONOF INTERNATIONAL TREATY

Attention shall be drawn on the issue ofthe provisional application of internationaltreaty. 1969 Vienna Convention "on the Lawof Treaty" provides the opportunity for theState on provisional application of a treaty ora part of a treaty unless the treaty otherwiseprovides or the negotiating States have oth-erwise agreed. It is important to diverse theprovisional application of the treaty from theentering of the treaty into force. Once a trea-ty entered into force it can not be provisional-ly applied. Possibility of the provisional appli-cation of a treaty is based on the circumstancethat in some cases States are willing to applya treaty upon its signature notwithstanding thefact that implementation of relevant domesticprocedures – ratification, approval may benecessary for a treaty to enter into force.Therefore provisional application of a treatytotally depends on the agreement and the willof the States.12

In accordance with Article 20 of the law ofGeorgia "on International Treaties of Georgia",if international treaty provides for the provi-sional application of the treaty or its severalprovisions, or parties have agreed on this,Georgia applies such treaties upon its entryinto force.

The abovementioned provision of the lawprohibits provisional application of internation-al treaty by Georgia unless thetreaty is inforce, which means that the law of Georgiarejects the opportunities envisaged by the pro-visions of the Convention.13

In case provisional application is prescribedby multilateral international treaty, Georgiaaccording to the requirements of the law, isobliged to make a reservation to the interna-tional treaty, which will give the opportunity toapply a treaty only after Georgia expressesconsent of the State to be bound by interna-tional treaty. As regards to bilateral interna-tional treaty, Georgia shall refrain from inclu-sion of the provisions related to its provision-al application.

Worthwhile to mention that negative ap-proach on provisional application of interna-tional treaty is expressed not only by Geor-gia, but by other countries as well.14 At ViennaConference on the International Law of Trea-ty, several Countries have stated, that provi-

sional application of international treaties isprohibited in there countries.15

Practice of treaties of Georgia has provedthat in particular cases provisional applicationof the international treaty is reasonable. Forinstance GUAM Statute, which was stipulatingits provisional application until its entry intoforce, has been signed by Georgia without anyreservations. Therefore, based on ViennaConvention which in accordance with the Con-stitution of Georgia as an international treatytakes precedence over all other normativeacts, and in accordance with the foreign poli-cy priorities of the state, Georgia started per-formance of obligations under the Statute be-fore its effective date.

Considering the abovementioned practiceand according to the State interests, it wouldbe desirable if the legislation of Georgia al-lows provisional application of an internation-al treaty. However, in order to avoid the end-less extension of provisional application of atreaty, it is possible to certain term to be de-termined by the legislation, and during thatperiod Georgia shall decide weather to be-come a party to international treaty.

8. INTERNATIONAL TREATY OF MILITARYCHARACTER

The role of legislative authority in relationto the conclusion of international treaty gen-erally applies to the conclusion of treaties ofexclusive importance for the State. It is natu-ral that each State determines the area of theissues, recognized as exclusively importantand, therefore provides for obligatory partici-pation of the Parliament in conclusion of trea-ties of such category.16

In accordance with Article 14 of the law ofGeorgia "on International Treaties of Georgia"and Article 65 of the Constitution of Georgiaapart from the international treaties and agree-ments providing for ratification, it shall also beobligatory to ratify an international treaty andagreement which is of a military character, butfollowing to Article 4 of the mentioned law, trea-ty referring to the military issues shall be con-cluded on behalf of Georgia. Thus the Minis-try of Defense as central organ of executiveauthority does not have an opportunity to con-clude interagency treaties on the issues with-in its competence. Since the law does not stip-ulates the definition of "Treaties of Military

Page 204: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

203

Character", and interpretation of the law is thecompetence of the judiciary, in practice diffi-culties related to the performance of domes-tic procedures with respect to the conclusionof treaties of military character often arise.

Main direction of Georgian foreign policyis the integration into European and Euro-At-lantic structures. To that end national securityconcept of Georgia and the Georgian ForeignPolicy Strategy for 2006 – 2009 has been elab-orated. One of the strategic aims and priori-ties of Georgia is to establish Georgia’s placein common European family by deepening in-tegration in European Union and joiningNATO.17 To accomplish this goal, following tothe NATO standards, international treaties inthe field of defense are intensively conclud-ing. In relations with particular treaties it is of-ten necessary for the State to express its con-sent to be bound by them as soon as possi-ble. Internal procedures provided by the laware time-consuming that hinders the accep-tance of important instruments for the coun-try. In certain cases Ministry of Defense ofGeorgia has to make a political decision inorder to sign and to be bound by a treaty. It isclear that such documents arises political andno legal obligations to Georgia.

Considering all the abovementioned it isimportant to define a treaty of military charac-ter by the Law "on International Treaties ofGeorgia", which implies that all other types oftreaties concerning the military issues, whichdo not fall under the definition of "Treaty ofMilitary Character" may be concluded on be-half of the Ministry of Defense of Georgia, uponthe agreement of the parties and may enterinto force even by the signature.

"Treaty of Military Character" may be de-fined as follows: "International treaty on thebasic principles of cooperation in the militaryfield or treaty on the usage of Georgian terri-tory for transit or temporary dislocation pur-poses of armed forces of a foreign State, par-ticipation of Georgian military forces in thearmed Conflicts or peacekeeping operations,receipt or transmission of military equipment,military trainings".

9. PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL TREATY

Principle on performance of internationaltreaty in good faith is an ancient principle ofinternational law. None of the legal system

would exist without imperative requirement ofperformance of obligations recognized by itssubjects.

Principle – pacta sunt servanda (treatyshall be performed) reinforced by Vienna Con-vention is incorporated into the law of Geor-gia "on International Treaties of Georgia".Following to its Article 31 international treatyof Georgia shall be the subject of performancein good faith.

Issue of implementation of the internationaltreaty may be considered as a sovereign rightgranted to the country to define such meth-ods itself by considering State arrangement,traditions and experience unless the similarissues are particularly defined by the treaty.

Therefore it is proved that the States shalldefine the ways and methods of performanceof international treaty it themselves.

Ways and methods selected in such a wayfalls under the competence of national law, theresults of which has an affects on internation-al treaty obligations of a state on internation-al level.18

According to the Georgian legistation thePresident and the Parliament of Georgia aretaking relevant measures in order to ensureperformance of international treaty, and thecentral bodies of executive authority, that havecompetence on certain issues of internationaltreaties are, shall ensure performance of ob-ligations of Georgia undertaken by interna-tional treaty, observe the protection of inter-ests of Georgia as well as performance of ob-ligations by the other parties of the treaty. TheMinistry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia providesgeneral supervision on the performance of theinternational treaty. Thus, the central bodiesof executive authority of Georgia shall beobliged to provide the Ministry of Foreign Af-fairs with comprehensive information on thecondition of performance of international treaty.

General supervision on the performanceof international treaty covers the conductionof different activities, including coordination ofactivities of Georgian agencies by the Minis-try of Foreign Affairs. Basically on that ground,in summer 1999, the Division of Performance,Analyze and Control of International Treatieswas the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Based onits functions this Division supposed to be as apart of Department of International Law, how-ever as a result of structural reorganizationsthe Division was established in the General

Secretariat of the Ministry. But in May 2001on the basis of special decree of the Presi-dent, interagency organ has been establishedin the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – AdvisoryCouncil regulating performance of Georgian in-ternational treaties.19

In the process of operation of the Divisionnumber of difficulties emerged. In particularthere was no relevant structure or person atthe agency, to whom the coordination of thementioned issues could be assigned. Fre-quently Ministry of Foreign Affairas receivedmeaningless and irresponsible replies, for ex-ample: "Ministry/body is not able to performobligation undertaken by a treaty, because ofthe financial problems", while the performanceof some of the paragraphs was not actuallyconnected to the financial arrangements. Ap-proximately 40% of the agencies did not evenreply, which was also pointing on the weak-ness of the coordination and nonexistence ofcontrolling mechanisms.20

Analysis of the received information fromthe relevant bodies of Georgia reviled super-ficial and irresponsible approach, which themost state bodies were demonstrating in aview of performance of international treatyobligations. This fact was mentioned in the firstReport of the Division, which was submittedto the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia,but since his competence was quite limitedand was not able to react on undue perfor-mance by the agencies and there was nomechanism, which would facilitate the actualsupervision by the Ministry of Foreign Affairson the performance of treaty obligations;therefore this document remained only as aninternal information and could not be reactedor respectively.

Regarding to the Advisory Council regu-lating the performance of international trea-ties, as a result of the developments in No-vember 2003 in fact it terminated its activity,while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was un-der the reorganization for several times. Insuch conditions the supervision by the Minis-try of Foreign Affairs on the performance ofinternational treaties was terminated. The doc-ument regulating the functioning of the Advi-sory Council has to be amended to bringit inline with existing the legislation and amend-ments into the relevant normative acts shalltake place.

Despite the particular obligations pre-scribed by the law none of the normative actsdetermine a mechanism, which shall be ap-plied by the central bodies of the executiveauthority of Georgia in case of breach or non-performance of treaty obligations. The lawprovides for the general obligations of agen-esis to provide the Ministry of Foreign Affairswith the information on the conditions of per-formance of international treaties. The Minis-try of Foreign Affairs of Georgia as a generalcoordinator of the conclusion, operation, ter-mination and performance of an internationaltreaty, should be fully informed on the condi-tions of performance of treaties, for this goalparticular terms shall be defined within whichthe Ministries will be obliged to submit com-plete and comprehensive information on thecondition of the performance of treaty obliga-tions and on related difficulties. For example,perhaps at least once a year every Ministryshouldl prepare a report on the performanceof the international treaties under ther com-petence, and submitit to the Ministry of For-eign Affairs of Georgia.

Also relevant structures should be estab-lished in all bodies of the executive authorityin order to promote proper implementation offunctions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairesprescribed by the law. To achieve this goal,adoption of the regulating document on thelevel of the President or the Prime Minister isessential. Organization of the specific internalstructure will enhance the coordinated activi-ty and the responsibility of relevant bodies onthe performance of international treaties andsignificantly increase the quality of informa-tion to be presented as well.

Restoration of the activity of appropriateAdvisory Council is necessary and would bedesirable that relevant prominent scholar-ex-perts together with the high officials to be in-cluded as its members.

10. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATIONS

Thus, on the basis of the abovementionedanalysis of all the , we can conclude that thelaw of Georgia "on International Treaties ofGeorgia" does not meet the requirements ofthe current reality any more and during its im-plementation process number of practical andlegal difficulties arises. Accordingly, in orderto perform international obligations of Geor-

Page 206: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

gia in a good faith, it is necessary to createflexible legal mechanism, which will promoteestablishment of modern practice of legisla-tive, executive and judicial bodies of Georgiain relation to international treaties.– The role of the Prime Minister of Georgia

with respect to the activities concerning in-ternational treaties should be necessarilydetermined.

– It is reasonable to define the procedure ofconclusion, implementation and terminationof international treaty and its outcomes.

– As a result of strict determination of rightsand obligations of the Ministries of Geor-gia, internal procedures will be more simpli-fied and quick and the role of the Ministriesas the lobbyists of their interests will be in-creased.

– It is important to reinforce the role of theMinistry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, as apolitical decision-making body.

– Taking into consideration the existing prac-tice and interests of the State, to allow pro-visional application of international treatywould be reasonable.

– Procedure of delivering information on im-plementation of the International treaty bothby Georgian Party as well as by the othercontracting party should be improved; AllMinistries obliged to deliver comprehensiveinformation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairsof Georgia regarding performance of inter-national obligations and related problemsat least once a year.

– Bilateral cooperation between the Partiesshould be developed and collection of in-formation from the other party on perfor-mance of their obligations by the relevantauthority is be desirable. At the same time,the competent authorities of Georgia shouldsystematically inform the Ministry of Foreignaffairs of Georgia on performance of obli-gations are performed by the relevant bod-ies of the other contracting party, and sub-sequently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ofGeorgia shall notify the President of Geor-gia and the parliament for further reaction.

IRAKLI GIVIASHVILI

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RECENT STEPTS TAKENBY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION WITH RESPECT TO GEORGIA

1. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL OBLIGATION

OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

NOTWITHSTANDING DECLINING

THE OBLIGATIONS DERIVING FROM

THE 1996 DECISION BY IT ON 6 MARCH, 2008

According to the paragraph 6 of the Deci-sion Taken by the Council of the Heads ofStates of the Commonwealth of IndependentStates (CIS) on Measures for Settlement ofthe Conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia the Statesparties to the Decision (including the RussianFederation) confirm, that Abkhazia is an inte-gral part of Georgia and without consent ofthe Government of Georgia they will not exer-cise trade, economic, financial, transport orother relations with the authorities of the Abk-haz side (para. 6(a)), as well as neither willthey engage themselves in official contactswith the representatives or officials of thestructures established in the territory of Abk-hazia, nor with the members of military forma-tions of Abkhazia (para. 6(b)). As for the para-graph 7 of the aforementioned Decision, theMember-States of the CIS will not permit thefunctioning of representations of the authori-ties of neither the Abkhaz side in their territo-ries, nor the persons in a capacity of officialrepresentative of those authorities.1

On 6 March, 2008 the Russian Federa-tion declared about declining the obligationsensuing the Decision taken on 19 March, 1996by the Council of the Heads of the CIS on Mea-sures for Settlement of the Conflict in Abkha-zia, Georgia.

The 1996 Decision of the Council of theHeads of States of the CIS on Measures forSettlement of the Conflict in Abkhazia, Geor-gia is a decision made by a statutory body ofthe CIS. Unlike the agreements concludedunder the aegis of the CIS (which belong tointernational treaties and in relation to which

the Vienna Convention on the Law of Trea-ties2 applies), there is no legal document clear-ly defining the legal status of the decisions ofthe CIS statutory bodies, and in particular clar-ifying whether the decisions made by the CISorgans represent international treaties.

The question, whether a decision of theCIS statutory body is an internaitonal treaty,is very vague. The CIS Expert Group (a Con-sultative Committee), which makes legal anal-ysis of the decisions taken by the CIS statuto-ry bodies based on the review of the CIS mem-ber-States practices, was charged to elucidatethe issue. According to the document3 draftedby the group the legal status of the decisionsmade by the statutory bodies of the CIS arediversely perceived in different member-states. The aforementioned analytical docu-ment clearly provides for the formal positionof the Russian Federation with regard to thelegal status of the decisions of the CIS. In par-ticular, the Russian Federation does not re-gard the CIS decisions to be international trea-ties. They are considered as acts adopted byan international organization, which entail cer-tain (political) obligations for its States-Parties.Neither Belarus nor Kazakhstan recognize theinternational legal character of the decisions.However, it must be mentioned that there is agroup of states which consider the CIS deci-sions to be international treaties and extendover them the Vienna Convention on the Lawof Treaties. Georgia belongs to this group ofstates and therefore it carries out the domes-tic procedures with respect to the decisions.As regards Armenia, only the decisions takenwithin the CIS that are ratified by the Parlia-ment of Armenia are considered to be inter-national treaties.

The foregone implies that Georgia is notin a position to demand from the Russian Fed-eration to agree the issue over the withdrawal

from the 1996 Decision (this would be rele-vant if the Decision had a status of interna-tional treaty in the Russian Federation) withthe former. However, withdrawing from the1996 Decision on 6 March 2008 does not au-thorize the Russian Federation to undertakeactivities with the Abkhaz separatist regimeagainst the territorial integrity of Georgia, as:

1) The international law in general rec-ognizes protection of: a) the principle of invio-lability of territorial integrity of a state; b) aswell as the principle of non-interference intodomestic matters of a state and c) the princi-ple of integrity of state bounderies.

2) Apart from the 19 January, 1996 De-cision of the Heads of States of the CIS, fromwhich the Russian side withdrew, the latter hasrecognized territorial integrity of Georgia andthus unlawfullness of the self-proclaimed re-gime of Sukhumi, in accordance with otheranalogous decisions of the Heads of States ofthe CIS. As an example the following can bereffered to: The Decision of 19 May 1996 onthe Presence and Extending the Mandate ofthe Collective Peacekeeping Forces in theConlifct Zone of Abkhazia, Georgia; The 28March 1997 Decision on Implementation of theMeasures for Conflict Settlement in Abkhazia,Georgia;4 The 8 May 1998 Decision on Addi-tional Measures with regard to the Settlementof the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia etc.

3) The principle of the territorial integrityof Georgia is reinforced by the Unied NationsSecurity Council Resolutions regarding theconflict in Abkhazia, Georgia ;

4) Militarisation of the separatist regimesmay be considered as creating threats topeace, which is outlawed by the Charter of theUnited Nations (Chapter VII of the Charter ofthe United Nations - Action with Respect toThreats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace,and Acts of Aggression, Articles 39-51).

2. THE TASK ASSIGNED BY THE 16 APRIL

2008 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE

RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO THE GOVERNMENT

OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION REGARDING

ABKHAZIA AND SOUTH OSSETIA

On 16 April, 2008 the President of theRussian Federation assigned the Governmnetof the Russian Federation a task to commencedirect cooperation with the representatives ofthe de-facto authorities of Abkhazia and the

Tskhinvali region.The same Decree estab-lished the list of official documents that shallbe issued by the de-facto organs of Abkhaziaand Tskhinvali regions to natural persons, aswell as recognized validity of the registrationof the legal entities registered in Abkhazia andTskhinvali region in accordance with the locallegislation; in line with the afore mentionedDecree the Federal bodies of the executivebranch of the Russian Federation are chargedto cooperate with and provide mutual legalassistance to the Abkhazia and Tskhinvali re-gion in civil, family, and criminal matters. De-riving from the interests of persons permanent-ly residing in Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali re-gion the territorial bodies of the Ministry ofForeign Affairs of the Russian Federation arecharged to perform consular duties; concur-rently the consideration of the additional pro-posals for the further enhancement of coop-eration with Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali re-gion are envisaged.

The above mentioned task given by thePresident of the Russian Federation to theGovernment and the actions undertaken latelyby the Russian Federation with regard toGeorgia do clearly contradict with the univer-sally recognized norms enshrined in both in-ternational customary and codified laws, whichrepresent the cornerstone of the internation-al system and are supported by the United Na-tions Charter, the 1975 Helsinki Final Act, aswell as by the founding documents of all theuniversal or regional (inter alia the CIS) inter-national organizations.

The actions undertaken by the RussainFederation which were "reasoned" by the pro-tecting the citizens of the Russian Federation inthe conflict zone, are not compliant with the gen-eral obligation stemming from the EuropeanConvention for the Protection of Human Rightsand Fundamental Freedoms. In particular, theArticle 1 of the Convention obliges the HighContracting Parties to secure the protection ofthe rights only within their jurisdiction5.

The decision about granting the territorialbodies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of theRussian Federation in the Krasnodar Kray andthe Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, in caseof such a need the authority to undertake con-sular duties, violates the 1963 Vienna Con-vention on Consular Relations6. The decisionto have mutual legal cooperation with the sep-aratist regimes in civil, family and criminal

Page 218: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

217

matters, violates the 1993 CIS Convention onLegal Assistance and Legal Relations in Civil,Family, and Criminal Matters7 and the 1959European Convention on Mutual Assistancein Criminal Matters8. Respectively, the viola-tion of the principle of discharging internationalobligations in good faith is evident. Yet anoth-er principle established in international lawand supported by the 1969 Vienna Conven-tion on the Law of Treaties – pact sunt ser-vanda – is also violated.

3. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ANALYSIS

OF THE SHOOTING DOWN THE

UNMANNED (SPY) PLANE OF THE

MINISTRY OF INTERIOR OF GEORGIA

On 20 April, 2008 the unmanned (spy)plane of the Ministry of Interior of Georgia wasshot down by a fighter in the airial space ofGeorgia, in particular in the Autonomous Re-public of Abkhazia. As allaged by the Geor-gian side, the plane was shot down by thefighter of the Russian Federation. There shallbe an internaitonal legal appraisal of the factby Georgia.

3.1 Principle of Prohibition ofUse of Force

Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter9

determines the principle of prohibition of useof force; in particular it stipulates that all Mem-ber states of the United Nations shall refrainfrom the threat or use of force against the ter-ritorial integrity or political independence ofany state. It is apt to mention here that armedforce is considered in the mentioned articleunder the use of force.10

Shooting down of the unmanned (spy)plane of the Ministry of Interior of Georgia byother state does certainly constitute a viola-tion of the principle of prohibition of use offorce, as safeguarded in the Article 2(4) of theUnited Nations Charter.

3.2 Act of Aggression

In 1974 the United Nations General As-sembly adopted the Resolution 3314 about thedeifinition of aggression.11 According to theArticle 1 of the the mentioned Resolution, ag-gression is a use of armed force by a State

against the sovereignty, territorial integrity orpolitical independence of another State. Ac-cording to Article 2 of the Resolution, if a stateuses armed force in contravention of the Unit-ed Nations Charter, this will constitute primafacie evidence of an act of aggression. How-ever, it must be also mentioned that accord-ing to the same Article, the United Nations Se-curity Council may, in conformity with the Char-ter, conclude that a determination that an actof aggression has been committed is not jus-tified if the committed act was not of sufficientgravity. The Article 3 of the Resolution pro-vides for the acts, which, if committed regard-less of a declaration of war shall qualify as anact of aggression:

a) the invasion or attack by the armed forc-es of a State of the territory of another State,or any military occupation, however tempo-rary, resulting from such invasion or attack,or any annexation by the use of force of theterritory of another State or part thereof;

b) Bombardment by the armed forces of aState against the territory of another State orthe use of any weapons by a State againstthe territory of another State;

c) The blockade of the ports or costs of aState by the amed forces of another State;

d) An attack by the armed forces of a Stateon the land, sea or air forces, or marine andair fleets of another State;

e) The use of armed forces of one Statewhich are within the territory of another Statewith the agreement of the receiving State, incontravention of the provisions provided forin the agreement or any extention of their pres-ence on such territory beyond the terminationof the agreement;

f) The action of a State in allowing its ter-ritory, which it has placed at the disposal ofanother State, to be used by that other Statefor perpetrating an act of aggression againstthe third State;

g) The sending by or on behalf of a Stateof armed bands, groups, irregulars or merce-naries, which carry out acts of armed forceagainst another State of such gravity as toamount to the acts listed above, or its sub-stantial involvement therein.

According to the Article 3 of the Constitu-tion of Georgia and the Article 2 of the Law ofGeorgia on State Boundaries the territory ofGeorgia includes the air space of Georgia, re-

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

spectively, shooting down by a fighter of a for-eign state of the unmanned (spy) plane of theMinistry of Interior of Georgia does without anydoubt constitute a use of armed force againstthe Georgian state territory and correspond-ingly this constitutes the act of aggression, asdefined by the Article 3 (b) of the 1974 UnitedNations General Assembly Resolution.

3.3. Relevance of the Use ofthe Right of Self-defense

According to the Article 51 of the UnitedNations Charter, a Member of the United Na-tions possesses the inherent right of self-de-fense if an armed attack occurs against it.According to the mentioned article, resortingto armed forces for the purpose of self-de-fense is permitted until the Security Councilhas taken measures necessary to maintaininternational peace and security. In case ofusing the right of self-defense, the state isobliged to immediately report to the SecurityCouncil on the measures taken by it in theexercise of the right of self-defense. Howeverit must be mentioned that even though thearmed attack automatically triggers the rightto act contrary to the principle established bythe Article 2(4) of the UN Charter (i.e. the prin-ciple of prohibition of use of force), the viola-tion of the mentioned paragraph is not alwaysqualified as an armed attack within the mean-ing of the Article 51 of the Charter.12 An armedattack, as provided for in the Article 51, is ex-ercised only when the armed force is used ina relatively wide scale, inflicting the substan-tial outcomes (simple accidents at the stateboundaries, such as for example, crossing bya border patrol police of a state the borderline of another state will be considered a vio-lation of Article 2(4), but not an armed attackwithin the meaning of the Article 51).13 It mustbe mentioned that according to a Commen-tary to the United Nations Charter, the acts ofaggression provided for in the 1974 UnitedNations General Assembly Resolution (includ-ing an act envisaged by the above mentionedArticle 3(b)) may be considered as an instanceof an armed attack, as provided for in the Ar-ticle 51.14 Correspondingly, if a state uses anarmed force against the territory of anotherstate, an injured state may claim to use the

right of self-defense as provided for by theArticle 51 of the United Nations Charter.

3.4 Chapter VII of the United NationsCharter – the Actions with respect toThreats to the Peace, Breaches of thePeace and Acts of Aggression (Art. 39-51)

According to the Article 39 of the UntedNations Charter, the Security Council shalldetermine the existence of any threat to thepeace, breach of the peace, or act of aggres-sion and shall decide what measures shall betaken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42,to restore or maintain international peace andsecurity.

The Security Council, acting within thecontecxt of the Article 39, when establishingan act of aggression, uses the definition asprovided for by the UN General Assembly.15

However, establishing an act of aggression bythe Security Council within the meaning of theArticle 39 represents a political decision andthere have been cases when the SecurityCouncil have not recognized certain shortterm armed activities as aggression.16

In case of establishing a threat to thepeace, breach of the peace and the act ofaggression, in accordance with the Article 41,the Security Council may decide to undertakemeasures not involving the use of armed forceand it may call upon the Members of the Unit-ed Nations to apply such measures (for ex-ample, interruption of econoic relations andof rail, air, sea, and postal communication;severance of diplomatic relations).

If the measures provided for in Article 41prove to be inadequate, the Security Councilmay, in accordance with the Article 42, takesuch action by air, sea, or land forces as maybe necessary to restore international peaceand security.

However, it must also be taken into con-sideration that according to the Article 27 ofthe United Nations Charter the Security Councilmakes a decision by a majority of affirmativevote (of minimum 9 members), including theconcurring votes of the permanent members(which icludes the Russian Federation as well).

There is a possibility for Georgia to applyto the Security Council in order to determinethe act of aggression based on the Article39, however taking into account that the Rus-

Page 220: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

219

sian Federation is a permanent member of theCouncil, and thus, its affirmative vote is alsorequired for taking a decision, reaching thetengable result is unrealistic.

3.5 The Internaitonal Court ofJustice (ICJ)

Georgia may apply to the InternationalCourt of Justice claiming the violation of theArticle 2(4) of the United Nations Charter andrequest the Russian Federation to be a re-spondent party to a case. However, the Rus-sian Federation does not belong to the groupof States, which have recognized automaticjurisdiction of the ICY under Art. 36 of the ICYStatute. Based on this there is a need that theRussian Federation recognizes the jurisdictionof the ICY in relation to any given case in or-der for the ICY to exercise its jurisdiction.

It must be mentioned that the AdvisoryOpinion of the ICY, which can be requestedby the General Assembly or the Security Coun-cil, may be sought. A written request shall besubmitted to the ICY to that end. Hawever TheAdvisory Opinion does not have a legally bind-ing force.

3.6 International Criminal Court (ICC)

The 1998 Rome Statute of the InternationalCriminal Court17 represents an internationallegal mechanism, which the international com-munity shall employ for bringing to justice per-petrators of the crimes. Georgia, after sign-ing the Statute, ratified it and thus is a State-Party to it. According to the Article 12 of theStatute, a State which becomes a Party to theStatute thereby accepts the jurisdiction of theCourt with respect to the following most seri-ous crimes: a) Genocide, b) Crimes againsthumanity, c) War crimes, d) the crime of ag-gression. The Russian Federation has alsosigned the Statute, however it has not ratifiedthe document yet. In accordance with the Arti-cle 18 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on theLaw of Treaties, a State is obliged to refrainfrom acts which would defeat the object andpurpose of a treaty when it has signed thetreaty, but not ratified it.

Georgia may claim that the Russian Fed-eration violated Article 18 of the Vienna Con-vention.

4. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

DERIVING FROM THE RECOGNITION OF

KOSOVO FOR GEORGIA

A number of international commentatorshave lately evaluated the recognition of Kosovoas a creation of the precedent establishing thesuperiority of the principle of self-determina-tion over the principle of the territorial integri-ty of a State. It was also suggested that therecognition of Kosovo would have involved thesame approach with regard to other unrecog-nized subjects throughout the world and a newreality would have emerged resulting in thedevaluing the principle of territorial integrity.

Respectively, in order to assess the valid-ity of such opinions, international legal assess-ment shall be made with regard to the threatsfor Georgia stemming from the recognition ofKosovo.

Kosovo has for years been a topic of po-litical confrontation between the Governmentof Serbia and ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo.

In 1999 the United Nations Security Coun-cil adopted the Resolution 1244.18 The Reso-lution establishes the temporary presence ofthe United Nations and regulates the adminis-tration by the international civil and securitypresence. Starting from 1999, based on thementioned Resolution, Kosovo is administeredby the interim UN Administration in Kosovo(hereinafter – UNMIK).

In 2001, based on the Resolution 1244the UNMIK created Constitutional Frameworkfor Kosovo, based on which the provisionalinstitutes of self-government (PISG), includ-ing the elective assembly, as well as the postsof the President and the Prime Minister, esta-blished. Based on the very same Resolution,the United Nations assisted in interim admin-istration of Kosovo by the peace-keeping socalled Kosovo Forces (KFOR) operating un-der the NATO aegis. It must be underlined thatthe Resolution 1244 recognizes the territorialintegrity and sovereignty of then still FederalRepublic of Yugoslavia (whose successor stateis considered to be Serbia). Despite the factthat the Resolution 1244 does not recognizeindependence of Kosovo, it does not grant anyrole to Serbia in Kosovo administration. Im-primis it must be stated that declaring that thevery recognition of Kosovo will bring about thenew reality and this will confirm the fact that

the principle of self-determination will super-sede the principle of territorial integrity of aState, is devoid of any international legalgrounds. The recognition of subjects used totake place before the recognition of Kosovoand will be occurring in the future as well; andthere is no ground based on which it may beclaimed that the recognition of Kosovo will playthe decisive role in destroying the existingbalance between the principle of self-deter-mination and the principle of territorial integri-ty in international law.

It may be mentioned here as an examplethat based on the principle of self-determina-tion the decolonisation on the African conti-nent took place, the Soviet Union as well asYugoslavia was dissolved, and Montenegro gotindependence not long ago. East Timor wasseparated from Indonesia. This process hasnot commenced with the so called Kosovo’spossible precedent and will neither proceedwith it. This is the process, which takes placewithin the constraints of the international law.

There are numerous international treatiesin force, which confirm both – the principle ofterritorial integrity, as well as the principle ofself-determination.19 There is an interactionbetween the two principles, and the recogni-tion of individual subjects, such as for exam-ple Kosovo, can not violate the interplay de-riving from these international documents.

The question emerges – in terms of theinternational law what may follow the recogni-tion of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia andthe Tskhinvali region as independent statesby the Russian Federation and/or any other

States? It is important to consider other simi-lar situations in this respect. For example, Pal-estine is recognized by over 100 States, how-ever up to now it is neither considered to bean independent state and nor it is a UN mem-ber-state. Taiwan is recognized by 24 States,including the Holy See, however it is not a UNmember-State and is not considered to be asubject of international law. Northern CyprusRepublic is only recognized by Turkey and itis beyond any consideration that it may berecognized by the international community asan independent State and a subject of inter-national law.

It must be mentioned that there is no con-cretely prescribed legally binding universalnorm of international law, regulating the crite-ria of recognition. However, there are certaindocuments and norms referring to the justi-fied basis of the recognition. The first such anorm is that the realisation and recognition ofthe principle of self-determination is justifiedonly in case when an armed aggression isexercised against the population of the sub-ject and they are not entitled to economic,cultural and political identification. As regardsthe situations, when there are no military mea-sures exercised against the local populationand they are given possibility to exercise anddevelop democratic mechanisms within theframework of the big subject, then the recog-nition is not justified. IT is important to recallhere the EC Declaration on the `Guidelineson the Recognition of New States in EasternEurope and in the Soviet Union', which wasadopted in 1991.20

1 "Confirming that Abkhazia is an integral part of Georgia, the member-states ofthe Commonwealth of Independent States, without consent of the Government ofGeorgia:

a) will not exercise trade-economic, financial, transport or other operationswith the authorities of the Abkhaz side;

b) Will not engage themselves in official contacts neither with the representa-tives or officials of the structures established in the territory of Abkhazia, nor withthe members of military formations of Abkhazia.

MARIAM GOTSIRIDZE

DIPLOMATIC PROTECTION OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONSIN INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC LAW

1. INTRODUCTION

At the current stage of globalization nobodyis astonished with the fact, that people are leav-ing the States of their origin and nationality andare moving to the foreign States for work, edu-cation or other purposes; the legal personsfounded in one State through their branches andrepresentations are performing their activitieson the territory of the other State; multinationalindustries are indeed playing the leading role inrather important global process of the worldeconomy. Therefore, the possibility for the legaland natural persons to become the victims ofviolation of law, infringement of rights or appearas objects of property or non-property damageon the territory of foreign State is extremely high.

Although, a State protects its citizensthrough its diplomatic and consular represen-tations irrespective of their location and alsoin all democratic countries aliens are enjoy-ing the same rights to apply to domestic courtsand other institutional remedies for restitutionof violated rights, it is interesting what is theway out when the solution of the present is-sue is impossible under the domestic law?

In accordance with contemporary interna-tional law the State shall be liable for the dam-age caused to aliens by its action or inaction.Diplomatic protection is the mechanismthrough which the State of nationality may pro-tect the rights of its citizen on international leveland obtain the relevant legal satisfaction orcompensation for him/her.

The aim of the present paper is to define,to what extent it is possible for a State to pro-tect its Citizens in international courts in thescope of contemporary international law. Here-with the present paper will endeavor to deter-mine both definition of mechanism of diplomaticprotection and to what extent is the mentioned

mechanism real and accessible for ordinaryCitizens, in a view of restitution of violatedrights in international law through the State ofown nationality.

The first part of the paper provides foranalyze of international law on the diplomaticprotection. In order to define the principle ofthe mentioned mechanism precisely, the at-tention is drawn both on the aspects of histor-ical as well as international law. Further chap-ters provide for detailed description of con-stituent elements of the mechanism of diplo-matic protection and the legal analyze.

2. THE GIST OF MECHANISM OF

DIPLOMATIC PROTECTION

Establishment of mechanisms of diplomat-ic protection was based on historic principle,stipulating that the damage caused to the na-tional of one State in another State was con-sidered on international level as the damagecaused to the State of nationality. In accor-dance with well known words of Emrikh DeVetel, the damage caused to a national is anindirect damage caused to a State.1

Mechanism of the diplomatic protection isestablished in contemporary international lawas the customary norm.2 There is no treatyinstrument of general law in the contemporarylaw, which would regulate the legal aspects ofmechanism of diplomatic protection. Through-out the years its content was defined throughsubsidiary means for the determination of mainsources.3 Attempt of codification of existingbase of international law on the diplomaticprotection was carried out by the Internation-al Law Commission of the United Nations(Hereafter – International Law Commission orCommission). Text of the draft Articles on dip-lomatic protection (Hereafter- draft Articles or

Page 239: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

draft) together with the comments was adopt-ed with the first hearing in 2004,4 but in 2006the draft was approved with the second hear-ing.5 Currently, mentioned document of codifi-cation of international law on diplomatic pro-tection still remains as a draft and does nothave any binding force other than subsidiarymeans for the determination of main sourcesfor the Member States of the international com-munity.6

Permanent Court of International Justicehas defined the diplomatic protection as "anElementary Principle of International Law", stat-ing that "a State is entitled to protect its sub-ject, when injured by acts contrary to interna-tional law committed, from whom have beenunable to obtain satisfaction through the or-dinary channels".7

Commission in the draft norms on the dip-lomatic protection defines this instrument asfollows: "diplomatic Protection consists of theinvocation by a State, through diplomatic ac-tion or other means of peaceful settlement, ofthe responsibility of another State for an inju-ry caused by an internationally wrongful actof that State to a natural or legal person thatis a national of the former State with a view tothe implementation of such responsibility."8

As we see, diplomatic protection is a me-chanism, which may give an opportunity to thecitizen residing abroad to protect his/her vio-lated rights through his/her own State, in cas-es, when the violation rises a State liability.9

Although, shall be noted that exercising dip-lomatic protection with all methods is inadmis-sible. As it is seen in the definition elaboratedby the International Law Commission, exerciseof diplomatic protection falls under the framesof international law only in case of applyingthe remedies of peaceful settlement of dispute.It is also interesting that diplomatic protectioncovers protection of only those nationals whoare not involved in diplomatic-representationalactivities abroad on behalf of the State, be-cause such violations are considered as di-rect violation against a State. Generally this isa legal gist of the mechanism of diplomaticprotection.

We shall endeavor to demonstrate to whatextent the diplomatic protection is accessibleand realized mechanism, through detailedanalyze of its main consisting elements andprinciples.

3. MAIN ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF

MECHANISM OF DIPLOMATIC PROTECTION:

THEORY VERSUS PRACTICE

Diplomatic protection as one complete le-gal mechanism consists with numerous sepa-rate elements, in order to put in motion firstseparately and further as a one completemechanism it is necessary to comply with cer-tain principles and requirements. In the men-tioned process we face numbers of barriers,which significantly decrease the range of per-sons who have a real opportunity to enjoy dip-lomatic protection.

3.1. Right to Exercise DiplomaticProtection

In accordance with traditional principle ofinternational law, exercise of diplomatic pro-tection is a prerogative of the State. Perma-nent Court of International Justice in the Caseof "Mavrommatis Palestine Concessions" stat-ed that while exercising diplomatic protectiona State applies its right "to ensure, in the per-son of its subjects, respect for the rules of in-ternational law".10

Exercise of diplomatic protection is theright of a State. According to the internationallaw, a State is not obliged to protect its citizenon international level and consequently incase of refusal to exercise protection no lia-bility shall be imposed. This is caused by thefact that the States historically avoid grantingindividuals with the right in international law toinitiate a case against the States themselves,which is motivated by reasons related to theprinciple of State sovereignty and non inter-ference into internal affairs of the State.11 Onthe case "Barcelona Traction" PermanentCourt of International Justice stated that: "Statemay exercise diplomatic protection by what-ever means and to whatever extent it thinksfit, for it is its own right that the State is assert-ing... The State must be viewed as the solejudge to decide whether its protection will begranted, to what extent it is granted, and whenit will cease".12

Thus, as it is already illustrated, first andthe most important obstacle for natural andlegal persons to enjoy the protection by aState of their nationality is nonexistence ofobligation of a State to exercise diplomaticprotection. Therefore, citizen is not able to

Page 240: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

239

force a State to exercise his/her protection ininternational law regime. Furthermore, "shouldthe natural or legal persons on whose behalf[the State exercise diplomatic protection] con-sider that their rights are not adequately pro-tected, they have no remedy in internationallaw"13

However, in this respect the positive trendsin contemporary practice of the States shallbe underscored. Some members of the inter-national legal community believe that individ-ual should be entitled to request a State toexercise diplomatic protection as a matter ofright on their behalf. Although limited, there isin fact some State practice to support thisview.14 Constitutional provisions in a numberof States recognize the right of individual toreceive diplomatic protection for injuries suf-fered abroad.15 Among these States is Georgiaas well. In accordance with Article 13 of theConstitution of Georgia: "Georgia shall pro-tect its citizens irrespective of their location."

In spite of the abovementioned positivetrends, the fact remains that traditional princi-ple on the right of a State to the exercise dip-lomatic protection still maintains binding forcein international law. International Law Commis-sion refused the proposal on the recognitionof limited obligation of a State on exercisingdiplomatic protection.16 However, it could notneglect absolutely these positive trends. Com-mission in the draft Articles on diplomatic pro-tection included Article 19(a)17, which some-how recommends a State to not leave withoutthe State protection especially that citizens,who suffered by the significant damage.

3.2. Beneficiaries of the Mechanismof Diplomatic Protection

Nationality is a bound between the Stateand injured person, which provides the basisfor exercising diplomatic protection.18 In thiscase the term national includes as natural aswell as legal persons. In defining the national-ity of natural and legal persons, we face cer-tain characters for each of them, for that rea-son this two groups are discussed separately.

Natural Persons. Historically it was a pre-rogative of a State to define who its nationalswere. Permanent Court of International Jus-tice on the case "Nationality Decrees in Tunisand Morocco" defined that questions of na-tionality wera in principle within domestic com-

petence [of the States].19 Provision of the samecontent was included in the Convention "onCertain Questions Relating to the Conflict ofNational Laws" of 1930.20

Although the exclusive right of each Stateto determine who are its nationals was recog-nized in the context of international law, thecase is not so simple, as it is seen. In theframes of international law mentioned right ofa state to determine the nationality of a per-son is limited.21 In particular, following to theinternational law all those persons who underthe jurisdiction of a State are recognized asits nationals, in this case for the purpose ofdiplomatic protection, may not be consideredas nationals of this country at all.

As Article 4 of draft Articles formulated bythe International Law Commission, recogniz-es the right of a State to determine who canbe its national, at the same time establishesthe limitation of this right in frames of interna-tional law.22 The Article provides for non-com-prehensive list of methods of nationality whichcomplies with international law. Nationality ac-quired by birth, descent, naturalization, succe-ssion of State totally corresponds to the groundsof acquisition of nationality in the scope of in-ternational law. However there are also suchforms of acquisition of nationality, which aretotally acceptable under domestic law, but areunacceptable under international law; For ex-ample, automatically acquisition of the nation-ality by a spouse as a result of marriage.23

Thus, a person being a national of a Statewith full rights in accordance with the domes-tic legislation, has a political and legal boundwith it, performs its national obligations in agood faith, pays taxes, etc, will not be able toenjoy State protection, unless its nationalityfalls under the definition of "national" follow-ing to international law.

Legal Persons. According to the custom-ary international law on diplomatic protectionand international practice on this issue, alsoArticles of draft Articles elaborated by the In-ternational Law Commission of the UN, diplo-matic protection covers not only natural butlegal persons as well. Diplomatic protectionof Legal persons is very important and diversearea. Here we have to distinguish protectionof corporations and non-profit-making legalpersons. Furthermore, not only corporationsenjoy diplomatic protection but also theirshareholders.

Currently State practice is largely con-cerned with the diplomatic protection of cor-porations. In this case corporation means prof-it-making legal person with limited liability,whose capital is generally represented byshares.24

As with natural persons corporations shallmeet certain requirements in order to be con-sidered as nationals of a particular State.Though, it should be also noted that similar tonatural persons, international law provides forsuch high barrier to the corporations that nu-merous part of them may appear out of theapplication of the institute of this internationallaw. As it is already stated above, in this casethe issue of granting of nationality to a corpo-ration is within the internal jurisdiction of acountry.25 But this domestic competence doesnot have any power for the purposes of diplo-matic protection as in case of natural persons.

The States to determine nationality of le-gal person, are applying the different tests,weather it is the State of registration, head-quarter or simply country of location of repre-sentation. For example, Georgia in order todetermine the legal capacity of the legal per-son applies the law of the country of factuallocation of the administration of legal person.26

International Court of Justice on the "caseconcerning the Barcelona Traction" deter-mined that in accordance with the traditionalnorms of international law, right of diplomaticprotection of the corporation shall be grantedto that State where the company is incorpo-rated and has a registered representation.27

Thus, as it is seen the criteria of upholdingthe request of the company on nationality israther high, corporation to be considered asa national of a country shall not only be incor-porated, but shall also have registered repre-sentation. Whilst, the countries may apply oneof these two tests.

Furthermore, shall be noted that underthis criteria the States, which have substan-tially more economic interests towards the com-pany may remain out of game, rather thanthose States, which may meet the requirementsof the country of nationality for the purposesof diplomatic protection. Particularly in condi-tions of contemporary economic and commer-cial relations, company may not have any tiewith a State of its incorporation, but may havea tight bound with any other State or States.

On the case of company "Barcelona Traction",the most part of a share was in hands of na-tionals of Belgium, however, following to thedecision of the Court, Belgium did not have aright to exercise diplomatic protection on be-half of the company. But Canada which hasbeen considered as a State having the rightto exercise diplomatic protection, has not evenexpressed its interest in the fortune of theCompany.

With such formalistic approach, the pur-pose of this instrument will not be satisfied toensure appropriate diplomatic protection forthe corporations. In such a case, as an alter-native criteria, by applying genuine economicinterest and criteria of effective bound the aimof the protection of corporation would be bet-ter achieved.

International Law Commission, tried to re-duce the mentioned barriers of the nationalityand in Article 9 of the draft Articles has leftonly one criteria – the place of incorporation.Though, much important success out of pro-cedures of this exception was the provisionincluded into this Article. "However, when thecorporation is controlled by nationals of an-other State or States and has no substantialbusiness activities in the State of incorpora-tion, and the seat of management and the fina-ncial control of the corporation are both loca-ted in another State, that State shall be rega-rded as the State of nationality."28 This is extre-mely important success, the criteria of estab-lishing the nationality has been simplified, andalso those countries have been taken into con-sideration, which may be much more interest-ed to protect the rights of the corporation.

In accordance with fundamental principleof the diplomatic protection of corporations acorporation is to be protected by the State ofnationality of the corporation and not by theState of nationality of the shareholders in acorporation.29 Under the interpretation of thecourt "for although two separate entities mayhave suffered from the same wrong, it is onlyone entity whose rights have been infringed."30

The decision of the court to grant the State ofincorporation with the exclusive right of diplo-matic protection was motivated with severalreasons. First, corporation and shareholdersare two different entities. "But the mere factthat damage is sustained by both companyand shareholder does not imply that both are

Page 242: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

entitled to claim compensation"31. Exclusivecharacteristic of the corporation is that theresponsibility of shareholders is limited and isseparated from the rights and responsibilitiesof the corporation. The second, foreign share-holder upon the subscription of the capital istaking into consideration the risk that the Stateof incorporation may not exercise the discre-tion of diplomatic protection of the corpora-tion.32 Finally, under interpretation of the court,exercise of diplomatic protection by the Statesof the shareholders will cause the variety ofthe disputes.

If under the definition of the court, share-holder and corporation are two different enti-ties, then it is unclear why a State of both ofthem may enjoy equal rights of protection.Despite of the fact that responsibility of theshareholder is limited in the company, it is in-conceivable to prove that substantial damageof the company will not have any effect to andinjure shareholder. Imagine the situation of theshareholder, if only the State of incorporationis granted with the right of diplomatic protec-tion and this later will refuse to exercise thisright. How can be possible to discuss the as-sumption of risk in such conditions when fol-lowing to the contemporary State practice, theStates as a rule establish obligatory require-ments in a form of incorporation to the foreignentrepreneurs. Thus, this can not be consid-ered as a voluntary risk. Finally, if the prob-lem arises in a procedural viewpoint relatedto variety and quantity of the disputes, it canbe also solved by merging the enterprises,consolidated application of the party with theseveral representatives, or using the princi-ple of attendance. Shall be also noted that thereality provided by mentioned approach of thecourt will outweigh the procedural difficulties,in particular, those shareholders frequentlyappear to be without any protection.

The court allowed two exceptions from itssevere formalistic approach, when a State ofthe shareholder is entitled to protect the in-terests of its nationals: a) as an exception fromthe main principles; and b) when directlyshareholder and his/her rights and interestswere injured.33 The State of nationality of theshareholder is entitled to exercise diplomaticprotection as an exception only in two cases:a) when corporation ceases its existence inthe State of incorporation;34 and b) State ofthe corporation is the author of the caused

damage and consequently, remedy for theprotection of the rights of shareholders re-mains only international justice.35

Therefore, if the corporation "ceases toexist" the State of the shareholder may applythe right to exercise the diplomatic protection.36

It shall be noted, that in this case the courtapplied extremely severe criteria. The corpo-ration may formally continue its existence, al-though in reality be paralyzed, the mentionedwas not considered by the court and estab-lished that, "only in the event of the legal de-mise of the company are the shareholdersdeprived of the possibility of a remedy avail-able through the company".37

Article 11 of draft Articles makes the crite-ria even stricter and states that, cease of ex-istence of the company shall not be reasonedby the caused injury, which is possible objectof diplomatic protection.38 The mentioned ismotivated by the fact that in this case the di-rect infringement of right of corporation takesplace and prerogative of diplomatic protectionfalls under the State of incorporation.39 Although,we still face with misunderstanding, it is incon-ceivable how the State of incorporation willexercise the diplomatic protection on behalfof the non-existed corporation.

Following to the second exception "theState of the shareholders has a right of diplo-matic protection when the State whose respon-sibility is invoked is the national State of thecompany".40 Afterwards the mentioned deci-sion, this exception was followed by Statesmostly under the form of bilateral agreement.Though, in the view of practice of court, thejudgment of the International Court of Justiceon the case "concerning Electronica Sicula"41

is very important. Here the court has reallyallowed a mentioned exception, when grant-ed the United States of America with the rightto protect its two national companies, whichwere holding the absolute amount of sharesof Italian company and which were damagedby the State of its nationality, Italy. From thiscase it is obvious that the court digressed fromthe formal approach and recognized thementioned exception in favor of the sharehold-er’s State.

This exceptions wera taken into consider-ation by the International Law Commission aswell, in the draft Articles on diplomatic protec-tion.42 It is vague why did the Commission de-cide to limit the mentioned exception, while the

customary norm of international law on the ex-clusive right on the diplomatic protection ofcorporations actually puts the shareholders inthe difficult condition.

Apart from the exceptions from generalrules, the States of nationality of sharehold-ers also enjoy the exclusive rights to exercisediplomatic protection in cases when directlythe right of shareholder is injured. The inter-national court has indicated that in every casewhenever one of his direct rights is infringed,the State of the shareholder has an indepen-dent right of action.43 There are rights and in-terests which belong only to shareholders ofthe Company. These rights may be the rightto dividends, right to attend general meetingand right to vote, also right to receive sharefrom the property of the company upon its liq-uidation, etc.

This exclusive right to diplomatic protec-tion of shareholders was included in the draftArticles on diplomatic protection. The Commis-sion in Article 12 drew a line between the rightsof corporation and shareholders. Certainly, theareas of interests where rights and interestsof corporation and shareholder inevitably in-tersect each other may exist, but probablythese rights could not be included in this Arti-cle. This much more restricts the area, wherethe State of nationality of a shareholder mayintervene on behalf of its national on interna-tional level.

Traditional norms on diplomatic protectionrecognize diplomatic protection of only onetype of legal persons, in particular, corpora-tions. This is reasoned by their characteris-tics, which give them opportunity to have anexclusive role on international level.

Despite the abovementioned, we shall notforget that the domestic legislation of the coun-try recognizes numerous types of other legalpersons representing the subjects of a Stateand fall under the scopes of constitutional righton State protection. For example, Article 8 ofthe Civil Code of Georgia envisages that anynatural or legal person may be a subject ofprivate law relations, both entrepreneurial andnon-entrepreneurial persons of Georgia andof the other countries.44 Apart from corpora-tions this includes numbers of legal entities,which play no less important role than the cor-porations both on national and internationallevel. Such legal persons are funds, unions,

associations, non-governmental organiza-tions, existing with different grants and contri-butions, and serve to develop different areas,to protect the rights of women, children etc,and to achieve many other goals. Severaldecades ago Permanent Court of Internation-al Justice has established that the local bodyof a community45 as well as the university46 maybe granted the status of a national.

International Law does not recognize anyother tradition of diplomatic protection of le-gal persons other than corporations. It isvague why such legal persons shall not beprotected by their own State.

Although, it shall be hopefully mentioned thathighly qualified members of the International LawCommission of the UN did not miss this issueand they put a provision in Article 13 of draftArticles on diplomatic protection, according towhich the rules on diplomatic protection provid-ed for corporations shall be equally applied to"other legal persons".47 In such case State ofnationality shall be the State under where thislegal person has been created.48 Also the ICYunderlined that a legal person shall have anyformal ground, in other words shall be recog-nized as legal. 49

One of the very important successes inrespect to diplomatic protection of legal per-sons shall be mentioned. In accordance withthe draft Articles on diplomatic protection ofInternational Law Commission and version ofattached comments elaborated in 2004, onlyArticles related to protection of corporationsare applicable to other legal persons, whichdid not include the provisions regulating dip-lomatic protection of shareholders. Conse-quently such members of non-profit-makingorganizations which were founded on thebases of principle of membership remainedoutside the game. Members of such organi-zations deposit the income received from theiractivities in capital of legal person and in caseof liquidation of the latter, they receive sharefrom the property of the organization. Thus,members of such organizations, with their na-ture but in limited forms, equal to positions thatthe shareholders hold in the corporation. Inparticular, they obtain same rights and inter-ests on the capital of the organization uponits liquidation. However, the report of 2006concerning draft Articles on diplomatic protec-tion has been amended and the regulations

on diplomatic protection of shareholders wasextended to members of other legal personsby analogy.50

3.3. Principle of "Nationality of Dispute"

Mechanism of diplomatic protection isbased on so called "principle of nationality ofdispute". As it was already mentioned above,the bond of nationality between the State andthe individual alone confers upon the State theright of diplomatic protection.51 Without prov-ing formal bond between a State and a per-son, that is a nationality, it is very difficult toprove that the State has an interest andgrounds to exercise diplomatic protection onbehalf of this person.52 Principle of nationalityof dispute means, that only the State of na-tionality is entitled to exercise the right of dip-lomatic protection. This issue can be easilysolved when both natural and legal personsare nationals of the same State. This is morecomplicated in case of dual nationality, as fol-lowing to the principle of "nationality of dis-pute" both States of nationalities are entitledto exercise diplomatic protection.

Dual or multiple nationality is not forbid-den by international law.53 However dual na-tionality raises number of problems for thecountries desiring to exercise diplomatic pro-tection to their nationals.

Existence of the bond between the Stateand a national is necessary in order to exer-cise diplomatic protection. Consequently, it islogical that each State of nationality is entitledto exercise diplomatic protection against thethird State on behalf of person having severalnationalities. Despite the abovementioned,the International Court of Justice in Nottebo-hm Case55 in 1951 referred the issue in a morecomplicated way and determined that onlybond of nationality is not enough and exist-ence of real tie between the State and a na-tional is necessary. With this the court madethese existing strict requirements for exercis-ing diplomatic protection even more severe.Wide application of the mentioned text will ex-tremely limit the availability of exercising dip-lomatic protection, which contradicts to thepurposes of diplomatic protection to give theopportunity to a State to protect its nationalon international level.

The above mentioned practice does notcomply with the practice established in inter-

national law. Following to the decision of theInternational Court of Arbitration on SalemCase the Defendant State is not entitled to putin question admissibility of a claim of the Ap-plicant State by indicating on other State ofnationality.56 The same decision was made bythe Italian-American Tribunal on Mergi Casein 1955.57

International Law Commission relied on thesame principle upon elaboration of Article 6of draft Articles. In accordance with this Arti-cle, in case of dual or multiple nationality eachState may exercise diplomatic protectionagainst the third State.58 The commission wentfurther and in paragraph 2 of Article 6 deter-mined that two or more States of nationality mayjointly exercise diplomatic protection.59

Now let us see what happens when oneState of nationality claims against the otherState of nationality. Previously so called doc-trine of "exclusion of responsibility" was dom-inating in international law, according to whichexercising diplomatic protection by the oneState of nationality over the other State ofnationality was not allowed. 60 This principlewas emphasized by the ICY as "establishedpractice" in a case of "Reparation of Injuries".61

It would be unreasonable to rely on thementioned practice in contemporary interna-tional law, whilst communication between dif-ferent States and moving business to anotherState have become easier and frequent, whilein such circumstances people often becomenational(s) of other States either voluntarilyor involuntarily. This doctrine would leave nu-merous individuals without protection. Fortu-nately, international law is avery rapidly de-veloping field. Although the abovementioneddoctrine was not abolished at all and followingto universal principle of State sovereigntycould not be abolished, the way out has beenfound.62 In order to determine whether it waspossible to exercise diplomatic protection byone State towards the other State the Ameri-can-Italian Tribunal on "Mergi" case estab-lished: Principle … that excludes diplomaticprotection in cases of dual nationality couldnot outweigh the principle of effective nation-ality, if such nationality belongs to ApplicantState.63 At the same year the principle of ef-fective nationality was applied by the Interna-tional Court of Justice in "Nottebohm" case.Although the Court discussed on this issuesin a rather different contexts, it played impor-

244

saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008

tant role in further decision making process inrelations to dual nationality, for instance nu-merous decisions were made by Italian-Amer-ican Tribunal as well as by Iran-American Tri-bunal under the principle of effective nation-ality.64 In A/18 case Iran-American Tribunal,relying on decisions on Mergi and Nottebohmcases, established that issue of dual nation-ality should be solved according to particularcircumstances of each case by defining effec-tive nationality of a citizen.65 The principle ofeffective nationality was frequently used infuture by the Tribunal, among them, in one ofthe cases the Tribunal declared that in presentcase the theory of effective nationality was theway of solution which was mostly in conformi-ty with the principles of public internationalxlaw.66

Thus, as we see the contemporary inter-national law practice aims at making excep-tion from the oldest doctrine on "exclusion ofresponsibility". Furthermore, the Internation-al Law Commission included these exceptionsalso in draft Articles. In accordance with Arti-cle 7 "a State of nationality may exercise dip-lomatic protection in respect of a personagainst a State of which that person is also anational unless the nationality of the formerState is predominant, both at the date of inju-ry and at the date of the official presentationof the claim".67 It is obvious that, apart fromeffective nationality necessary requirement isto establish dominant bond of nationality atthe date of injury and at the date of the officialpresentation of the claim.68 Numerous factorsmay be taken into consideration while deter-mining effective nationality. As it was men-tioned in one of the cases by French-Germanmixed Tribunal, a person shall be consideredas a national of that country to which he/shehas not only legal but factual bond as well.69

This may include the living period in the coun-try, date of acquiring nationality, place of edu-cation, language of education, employmentand financial interests, place of family life, fam-ily ties in the State, participation in social andpublic life, taxation, bank accounts, insurance,visits in other State of nationality, possessionand use of passport, military service, etc.70 Inorder to establish effective tie PermanentCourt of Arbitration in "Canevaro" case tookinto consideration the fact that the person wasstanding for candidacy of the Senate of Peruand later agreed to become honorary consul

of Peru in the Kingdom of Netherlands.71 How-ever it shall be mentioned that none of theabovementioned factors is decisive and theweight and importance attributed to each fac-tor will vary according to the circumstances ofeach case.72

3.3. Principle of "Continuous Nationality"

Second problem concerning the nation-ality is the principle of "continuous nationality".The core of the principle is that only national-ity tie between the State and a person is notenough to legitimate exercise of diplomaticprotection by the State, but a person shall bea national of a State both for the moment ofcommitting crime and particular stage of legalproceedings. One of the aims of this rule is toavoid delivering the right of initiating disputeby the nationals of small States to big States.73

According to opinions of highly qualifiedscholars of international law the States givethe obligatory nature the rule that nationalitytie must exist both for the moment of injuryand particular stage. Ian Brownlie noted that,there is no agreement on the second part ofthis rule; in particular, how long the continuityof nationality must last.74 There are severalapproaches regarding this issue, in particu-lar, a phase, up to which the continuous na-tionality principle must be protected is differ-ent: initiation of diplomatic negotiations, filingof the claim, signature, ratification or entry intoforce of the agreement referring the disputeto arbitration, conclusion of the oral hearing,delivery of judgment and execution of award,etc.75 In the opinion of Feller and Oppenheim,following the practice of States, more accept-able for States is to retain nationality until theofficial presentation of the claim.76 Though, itshall be mentioned that several years ago in2003 International Center for Settlement of In-vestment Disputes (ICSID) arbitral tribunal inits decision declared that continuity of nation-ality must last until the final judgment of theCourt.77

As we see the abovementioned provisionis one more restricting factor for exercising ofdiplomatic protection. In addition if we take intoconsideration that a national has to attemptto resolve a dispute by internal remedies, fur-ther to wait for the decision of the State to ex-ercise diplomatic protection on his/her behalf,initiation of the dispute and conclusion of a

Page 246: saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali...4 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #1, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N1, 2008 redkolegiisagan `saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnals~ iv. javaxiSvilis

245

certain stage of the court proceeding, it wouldbe logical to conclude that probability ofchanging nationality by a national is ratherhigh. Furthermore, attention shall be given tothe fact that often changing of nationality doesnot depend on a desire of an individual and ithappens automatically, independently fromhim/her. In such case individual remains with-out any protection.

Principle of "Continuous Nationality" cer-tainly was envisaged in draft Articles by theInternational Law Commission. But high qual-ified members of the Commission were moreflexible and allowed some exceptions from thisrule. The Commission determined that a per-son must be a national of a State continuous-ly from the date of injury to the date of officialpresentation of the claim to the Court.78

Though the Commission taking into consider-ation that there is no agreement in interna-tional community on necessity to retain nation-ality between these two dates, decided that ifcontinuity can not be proved possession ofnationality on both dates will be consideredin accordance with the role on "continuousnationality."79 The mentioned Principle of "Con-tinuous Nationality" is applicable in respect todiplomatic protection of both natural and le-gal persons.80 The Commission determinedcorrectly that if we recognize the Principle of"Continuous Nationality" we shall take intoconsideration the interests of persons and al-low certain fair exceptions from this rule. It ispossible to exercise diplomatic protection onbehalf of natural persons by avoiding thepresent principle if the following conditions aremet: a) the person seeking diplomatic protec-tion had the nationality of a predecessor Stateor has lost his or her previous nationality; b)the acquisition of the new nationality is notrelated to exercising diplomatic protection inrespect of this person; c) the acquisition ofthe new nationality has taken place in a man-ner not inconsistent with international law.81

Here the Commission applied the rule stip-ulating that a State is no longer entitled to ex-ercise diplomatic protection in respect of acorporation that acquires the nationality of theApplicant State.82 However, the Commission inrespect with the corporations has allowed bothnegative and positive exceptions. Authors ofthe project took into consideration the opin-ion that none of the State may exercise diplo-matic protection on behalf of the corporation

in case of liquidation of the corporation in theState of incorporation. Consequently the Com-mission allowed exception and determined aState continues to be entitled to exercise dip-lomatic protection in respect of a corporationwhich was its national at the date of injury andwhich, as the result of the injury, has ceasedto exist according to the law of the State ofincorporation.83 The regime regarding the prin-ciple on "continues nationality", established inrelation to corporations extends to non-profit-making legal persons by analogy.84

CONCLUSION

At the beginning we raised a question, inwhat extend the diplomatic protection is ac-cessible for an ordinary citizen, whose rightswere violated and injured by action of foreignState. Abovementioned detailed analyze of thementioned institute certainly does not providesfor the opportunity to consider diplomatic pro-tection as alternative, accessible and real rem-edy of satisfaction of the citizen.

In the frames of current international law,exercise of diplomatic protection falls underthe discretion of the State, and it is the discre-tion process during which a person initially isforced to conduct negotiations and petitionwith herl his own State, in order to submit thedispute to international justice. Especially incases when for the violating rights a personthere is no adequate, accessible and effec-tive remedy, it is totally inadmissible to leavethe discretion of exercising diplomatic protec-tion to the State. Contemporary State practiceinclines to bind a State at least partially to ex-ercise diplomatic protection. Although, untilthis mechanism maintains the discretionarycharacter, it can not be considered as an ac-cessible and alternative remedy for the pro-tection of citizens. Regrettable result which isfollowed by the mentioned discretion was clear-ly illustrated by NGO Amnesty International:The States frequently sacrifice the legal rightsof the victims to those political interests, suchas maintenance of friendly relations with aState responsible for the violation.85

Analyse provided for by the present pa-per made clear that non-existence of the obli-gation of diplomatic protection is not the onlyproblem connected to this mechanism. Priorto the exercise of diplomatic protection thereare numerous formal and procedural precon-

ditions, which extremely decreases the num-ber of such cases, when the citizen has a realopportunity to exercise diplomatic protectionthrough his/her State.

First most important requirement, relatedto the national bond between a State and vic-tim, is not limited only to determine such bond.Moreover, shall be defined weather the formof obtaining nationality complies with the re-quirements of international law. Determinationof the issue of nationality to be completelyunder the jurisdiction of a State is the mostreasonable and logical. In this case, such in-cidents may be avoided when the citizen hav-ing tight national bond with the State through-out the years remains without protection onlydue to the fact that the form of obtaining citi-zenship contradicts to the requirements of in-ternational law.

The issue of citizenship does not end withthis. "The principle of continuous nationality"following to its vague content may create arti-ficial problems for exercising diplomatic pro-tection. Although, the existence of continuousnationality is certainly an essential mandato-ry precondition for exercising diplomatic pro-tection, it is still unclear until which level thenationality shall be maintained. Application ofsuch practice which requires the existence ofnational tie until the delivery of final judgmenton the case or until its execution is extremelydangerous. In the institution of InternationalCourt, execution of justice is rather extendedprocess. The years are required for only ad-missibility of some applications, not to men-tion the consideration of the case and deliv-ery of final judgment, moreover the executionof this case. Throughout this entire periodchange of nationality by a person is not sounreal. By the strict protection of the principleof "continuous nationality" the citizen may losethe opportunity of protection in frames of in-ternational justice.

Besides the abovementioned, there arenumbers of other requirements and precon-ditions which shall be satisfied for the purpos-es of exercising diplomatic protection by theState, which may be, exhaustion of domesticremedies, determination of violation of inter-national law in the action of the State, issuesrelated to dual or multiple nationality, takinginto consideration the features of exercise ofdiplomatic protection of natural and legal per-sons and their shareholders, relevant mem-

bers and etc. Bearing into mind the multitudeof all these conditions, and complexity in somecases, also the aims and interests of foreignpolicy of the State of nationality in certaincases,it is hard to discuss how real it is theexpression of good will by the State on exer-cise of diplomatic protection.

Finally, one more factor has to be takeninto consideration, which has not been dis-cussed in the main part of present paper justfor the simple reason that it is related to theexecution of decision of the international courtand not directly connected to the legal mech-anism of diplomatic protection. If the violationof international law by the State is established,this latter shall pay compensation to the in-jured State. Also in this case the State has dis-cretion whether to pay the compensation re-ceived by the reparation to the violated victimor not. Commission on International Law leftthe issue open whether the State is obliged topay that compensation to the injured personor no, which as form of compensation was re-ceived as a result of solving the dispute, initi-ated through exercising diplomatic protection,in favor of injured.

Likewise all legal procedures, diplomaticprotection certainly involves the satisfactionand performance of range of mandatory re-quirements, procedures and preconditions.Mentioned is rather logical and correct, how-ever, diplomatic protection includes the obli-gation to protect numbers of minor terms, tech-nical and formal procedures and require-ments, which may raise artificial barriers forexercising this mechanism of protection. Dip-lomatic protection is a remedy for a State toprotect its citizen against illegal action of theother country, as well as for citizens to achievethe reparation of violated law on internationallevel. Thus, the main point while exercisingdiplomatic protection shall be the protectionof rights and interests of the citizen and provi-sion of proper satisfaction for the caused in-juries. All formal, procedural and other kindof preconditions, which are necessary for ex-ercising diplomatic protection, shall be exact-ly adjusted on this aim and idea.

As we saw in the main part of the paper, inthe filed of diplomatic protection positive andrather reliable trends are evident. The Inter-national Law Commission of the UN has madea great contribution in this direction and on
