    The Hegemony of a Ruling Party as a Common Element in the Armenian Genocide, the Holodomor and the Holocaust
    (2023) Antonovych, Myroslava
    With the development of comparative genocide as the second generation of genocide studies over the last decades it became important to examine the Holodomor as a crime of genocide committed by the Communist party of the Soviet Union in comparative perspective with other genocides. In this article, the author offers a comparative analysis of the Holodomor with cases of genocide in the first half of the 20th century – namely, the Armenian genocide of the Ottoman Empire and the Holocaust of Nazi Germany – from the perspective of perpetrators (organizers). The author compares the three genocides as crimes under international law in terms of one of the mental elements of genocide that characterizes each of them, noting the similarities in ruling political parties as organizers of those crimes who exercised the collective intent in each of the case of genocide under analyses. The author argues that hegemony of a ruling party: the Ittihadists, the Communists, and the Nazis which substituted the state organization was a common element in the genocides perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Third Reich. Moreover, in the ongoing Russian genocide against the Ukrainian nation with culmination since 24 February 2022, it is again the ruling party – Yedinaya Rosiya (Single Russia) which is the foundation of Russian totalitarian regime that organized this crime of genocide.

    The Holodomor-Genocide and the Ongoing Russian Genocide in Ukraine: Intent, Victims and Perpetrators
    (2023) Antonovych, Myroslava
    In my short article I will briefly compare two genocides committed against the Ukrainians within the period of one hundred years: the Holodomor in the first half of 20th century and the ongoing Russian genocide against the Ukrainian nation. These two genocides were committed by the same perpetrator – the Russian empire, which was called the USSR in the previous century and is called Russian Federation now. Whatever the name might be, it remains the same perpetrator – the Russian empire.

    Legal terminology on human rights: origin, interpretation, functioning
    (1997) Antonovych, Myroslava
    There is a growing tendency nowadays to use legal terms on human rights not only in international documents, national legislation and courtrooms, but also in politics, government administration and other spheres of life. Terms concerning human rights are among legal terms most frequently used by people in everyday life due to the clarity of their meaning, their topicality and highly emotive, even rhetoric potential. As Samuel Donnelly noted "rights and the effort to understand their meaning and function have become the most important topics in the key dialogue of the 20th century." We understand legal terminology on human rights as an open system of words and word combinations which are used in the norms of international and domestic law with regard to human rights and in other spheres of social life, and which express the concepts belonging to the sphere of human rights.
