The legitimacy of the Hague Tribunal to check: expert

The legitimacy of the very many international institutions today need to check again. This was announced today, 21 December, the Director of the Foundation Institute of the post-crisis world (Russia) Ekaterina Shipov at the Roundtable the establishment of the Eurasian International Tribunal for war crimes and human rights, correspondent BakuToday .

We live in an era of transition to a new multipolar world, and in this era of many previous mechanisms do not work. Do not work past retention of economic and political stability, do not operate the old machinery confirm guarantees of sovereignty of States. If earlier it was enough for international recognition of membership in the UN or other international organizations, today this is clearly not enough. We see it on the example of Libya, the Balkans, Iraq, said Shipov.

It is clear that we need new mechanisms, new institutions and instruments, said the expert. -And here we have the whole thing in question, which 100 years ago identified the classic German political sociology of Max Weber. He said that one must distinguish between legality and legitimacy. The legality of any structure, Institute, the authorities reinforced by certain formal bureaucratic instruments, legislation, the system itself. And legitimacy is a much broader set of concepts, which includes the recognition of the authority in large parts of both people and the elite on the basis of the basic notions of fairness, Dobre, truth, and so on. It also implies a willingness to follow the decisions of this structure, this power without coercion.

And in this respect the legitimacy of the very many international institutions today need to check again. We still dont know what is legitimate for the developing world, the post-Soviet countries, the Hague Tribunal. And we do not know whether he left the same legitimate, as it was 20 years ago, for Western countries, said Shipov.

The establishment of the Eurasian Tribunal must rely on a broad popular movement. If there is a similar idea to the masses, then it usually institualiziruets, finds its material embodiment. The establishment of the public Council, the parliamentary hearings in post-Soviet countries-all of this will be a great step forward towards the establishment of the Eurasian Tribunal, and we will be able to get closer to the realization of this, in my opinion, very good case, concluded Shipov.

The consequences of the resignation of the speaker of the Parliament of Armenia Hovik Abrahamian and the dismissal of first Deputy Director of the Office of head of State Editor-in-chief Michael Minasian impact on the voters of the Republican Party of Armenia. However, for measuring the impact and content of the effects of personnel reassignment, sentiments and intentions of the voters need some time. As correspondent BakuToday, it was announced 8 November at a meeting with journalists, the head of the sociological Center tigranakert Aharon Adibekyan.

According to him, in the pre-election period, usually about a third of the active voters already geared-for whom and why would vote, and therefore this part of the electorate is difficult to influence. As noted by the sociologist, another third of the total number of voters is what political force preferred. The final third had no targets, namely, the election for this part of the electorate are just a convenient opportunity to disrupt the Kush-get a job to earn money. And when the resignation and human displacement, it narrows the range of influence in this electoral segment, because such a voter already wonder than him can help someone who disappeared from the fields of power, noted Aharonyan.

As he added although Hovik Abrahamyan and Mikael Minasyan retained essentially its position in the party structure, but in the eyes of voters-they were on a hierarchical layman ladder authorities step below. Sociologist believes that a shake-up in the highest echelons of power would necessarily affect the attitudes and intentions of the voters. For an accurate assessment of the extent of influence of the resignations must be a certain amount of time that these developments came to consciousness. We plan to conduct an opinion poll in late November. Then clarify-as the amount, so keep the effects of staff movement, explained Adibekyan.

He also indicated that some actions of the opposition Armenian National Congress may be perceived by the protest of the electorate with a certain amount of skepticism and suspicion. The ANCs attempts to cover all of the protestnoe field lead to movements in the direction of the Centre, which naturally gives rise to doubts and suspicions in the camp, the radical opposition. Backward steps ANC cause perplexity Centrists. In General, however, from such an action, an increasing number of those who have not yet decided the final choice, concluded Adibekyan.
