reflections-on-foreign-policy-and-regime-survival-sudan-s-and-eritrea-s-relations-with-the-leading-gulf-states-in-the-context-of-the-armed-conflict-in-yemen 2018 1 The expectation and materialization of the lifting of multilateral sanctions on Iran, subsequent efforts to curb Iran, and the armed conflict in Yemen have had important implications for relations between the Arab States. However, they have also had wider repercussions, particularly in the Horn of Africa. In the context of these two international events, the growing interest of the powerful Gulf States in the Horn of Africa has contributed to the shake-up of foreign relations and political alliances in the sub-region. This article deals with Sudan’s and Eritrea’s foreign relations towards the leading Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. It highlights the shift from their alliance with Iran to embracing relations with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the leading states in the coalition intervening in the conflict in Yemen. The article shows that when faced with internal difficulties and external pressure, the Sudanese and Eritrean governments re-evaluated and shifted their foreign policy orientation significantly in an effort to ensure the continuation of obtaining material resources from the exterior that have been important for regime survival. It argues that the extent to which Sudan and Eritrea have pursued foreign policy orientation towards the leading GCC states reflects the level of domestic difficulties and external pressure faced by each state.

the-impact-of-migratory-flows-of-third-country-workers-on-eu-enlargement-policy 2018 1 The free movement of workers is one of the four freedoms of the EU Internal Market. Migrant workers who move from one state into another enjoy certain rights stipulated by the EU Law (acquis communautaire). The aim of this article is to make a comparison between the rights enjoyed by the workers from EU member states and third country workers, in particular from Turkey and the Republic of Macedonia. This paper examines the possible effect of the enlargement of the European Union on Western Balkan countries and Turkey with respect to the freedom of movement of workers in the context of the impact of previous EC enlargements on migratory movements.

restriction-of-civil-and-political-rights-in-the-fight-against-terrorism 2018 1 The fight against terrorism is an issue that never loses its newsworthiness. Especially today with the strong development of terrorism and its spreading through the creation of new forms of terrorism, almost every country has been put in danger. That is why new methods and means are needed in the fight against terrorism, implementation of new legislation and its harmonization among countries. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the new guidelines within the strategy for combating radicalization and recruitment for terrorism adopted by the Council of EU and how these guidelines affect civil and political rights; to analyze the effects of the adopted laws which restrict civil and political rights at the expense of higher protection against terrorism such as the USA Patriot Act; to identify the new legal provisions of EU member states in the fight against terrorism; and to determine which civil and political rights are restricted and to what extent these new legal provisions limit civil and political rights of people, whether it is justified and whether it is aimed at achieving the most important goal, greater protection of citizens from potential terrorist attacks.

immigrants-and-social-responsibility-of-host-states 2018 1 Humanity is faced with a deep moral crisis, we as human beings have
forgotten the value and dignity of every person as core element of the universal
rights and freedoms. As socially responsible people, our ethics call us to
acknowledge the immigrant experience and to do the maximum for their
accommodation. Host states are obliged to respect the scope of human and political
rights of immigrants in the context of international law, as well as current political
rights regulations of the country of asylum. Immigrants, like other strangers, are
entitled to the same political freedom of expression, association and assembly as
host state citizens. These rights are often seen as a threat to the national cohesion of
the host state. Responsibility toward immigrants is also applied to nongovernmental organizations which are concerned with them in order to help the
administration of international activities in these areas

disability-rights-in-german-tenancy-law 2018 1 Approximately 650 million disabled people live worldwide. This number corresponds to approximately 10 percent of the world population. Unfortunately, these people are often victims and they have been discriminated. European Tribunal for Human Rights regularly deals with complaints from disabled persons with human rights conventions. In Germany, the Article 554a of the German Civil Law (BGB) has been inserted through a modernization of obligation law. This standard aims to improve the legal position of disabled people in tenancy situations while the tension between them is different and divergent forlegal entities and legal goods. There is no such provision in the many legal systems. It is therefore necessary to examine the standard in detail and to establish whether such a norm is also necessary in the other legal systems.

multi-ethnic-coalition-governments-as-precondition-for-maintenance-of-political-stability-the-example-of-the-republic-of-macedonia 2018 1 The Republic of Macedonia is constantly facing the challenge to reach democratic standards; establish rule of law; keep peace and stability; lower interethnic tensions; to increase its economic growth and eventually become an EU member state. Macedonian society is multi-ethnic and multicultural. The main pillar of multi-ethnic Macedonia is the Ohrid Framework Agreement. The established political model is based on power-sharing and redistribution of public resources and political power. The system is not a typical consociationalism model but shares many of its characteristics. Ever since Macedonia has become an independent country, multi-ethnic coalitions are a regular occurrence on the Macedonian political stage. They are generally accepted as a factor that provides political stability of the society, although this practice is not legally based. In this paper the case of a shared form of governments in the Republic of Macedonia will be presented. It will be shown that although traditional multi-ethnic coalition governments are not considered to be stable, they are an important part and a necessity in multi-ethnic societies. The conclusions can serve as a ground for maintenance of peace and political stability especially in countries with less developed democratic traditions where more than one community coexist in one state.
