    Case-law of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Union Law: An Area of Important Interaction and Dialogue for Stronger Human Rights Protection in Europe
    (2020) Pushkar, Pavlo
    An overlap in the activities of the Council of Europe and the EU as regards the protection of human rights leads to cross-fertilisation of both systems. Commitment to human rights and the Convention is notably manifested in the on-going dialogue on accession of the EU to the European Convention on Human Rights. Ideally, interaction between the Council of Europe and the European Union should lead to construction of a uniform human rights constitutional legal space, built on the same principles of compliance with the rule of law and human rights, a destination that still remains on the horizon. The process of execution of judgments of the Strasbourg Court, which is a forward looking technical and non-political process, with potential political consequences, results in the transformation of the legal systems of the Council of Europe member states and thus assists them in bringing their legal systems closer to being compatible with the EU accession process. Thus, the strategic aim of the European integration and EU accession should be aligned with the Strasbourg judgment’s implementation process, success in execution of judgments equalling to success in attainment of the Copenhagen accession criteria.

    Ideological Aggression and International Law: Soviet and Russian Malign Influence within Legal Domains (MILDs)
    (2020) Fisher, Brad
    This article offers a trans-disciplinary legal analysis of the evolution of aggression under international law. It asserts Soviet leadership in the establishment of the definition, but notes that some proposed conceptions of the Soviet theory were not officially adopted. This research also analyzes the 2019 work of Doctor Chernichenko of the Russian Federation and his assertion that the Soviet notion of ideological aggression should be resurrected given the unique and propagandistic tendencies of 21st century interstate conflict. Ideological aggression was originally a Soviet proposal first introduced to the United Nations Special Committee on the Question of Defining Aggression in 1953. This study asserts that any attempt to implement such a concept will be dangerous and particularly damaging to the rule of law, both domestically and internationally. Such a concept will offer practitioners a method to avoid responsibility for international transgression by claiming, inter alia, primacy in the employment of ideological aggression. This concept will also offer justification in the dismantling of coveted principles such as freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Those who employ such tactics do so duplicitously; simultaneously cherishing and subverting the international norms and principles that the greater international community holds dear. Finally, it will offer the practitioners of Malign Legal Operations, also known colloquially as lawfare, yet another instrument with which they may contain and exploit competitors under the auspices of international law. This amounts to Malign Influence within Legal Domains (MILDs), which is the ultimate form of asymmetry. The motives behind such a proposal to resurrect ideological aggression must be dually understood before any discourse surrounding ideological aggression may proceed in a serious manner.
