There are many definitions and/or understandings of war. However, from the very academic point of view, war can be understood as an armed conflict between at least two sides usually but not necessarily states fought usually for some (geo)political goals. The focal conceptual idea of war is the use of force between large-scale political subjects like states, empires, or coalitions. Historically, wars have been fought mainly for the control of certain land for different reasons ranging from a purely political one to a purely economic one or a combination of several of them.

Many types of war and warfare can be seen from the numerous adjectives that can be given before the word “war” like civil war, guerrilla war, total war, limited war, gang war, tribal war, regional war, local war, world war, religious war, race war, cold war, trade war, independence war, propaganda war, cyber war, class war, etc. Some of these names, however, are, in fact, metaphors that are exploiting the image of violent conflict over some political or other goal taken from IR, and transferred to some actors who are not the states.

ImagesThe summit was not short of emblematic images.

The torture chambers in a building of the SBU in Mariupol and the airport called the “Library”. Photos: Mirjam©Photo.

Last week I was in the Donbass, and I also visited Mariupol, the port city on the sea of Azov, home of the Azov regiment and of course the AZOV steel factory, where for months the AZOV regiment had entrenched itself to prevent the capture by the Russian army, which of course failed!

The AZOV regiment is a notorious battalion with a nazi-ideology, tortured many people in Mariupol and in 2022 I could see the evidence of their fascist ideology. When the left the factory in a hurry, because of the Russian army invaded the factory, remnants of their ideology were left behind, like for instance: ”Mein Kampf” the book by Hitler forbidden in Europe!

Речь идет о докладе о военных преступлениях украинских властей в 2014-2023 годах

МОСКВА, 20 июля. /ТАСС/. Ситуация на Украине показала, что ключевые организации в сфере международного гуманитарного права оказались неспособны принять меры для обеспечения безопасности мирных граждан. К такому выводу пришли авторы экспертного доклада о военных преступлениях властей Украины в 2014-2023 годах, который представили на круглом столе в четверг.

Доклад подготовлен экспертами Международного общественного трибунала по Украине – директором Московского бюро по правам человека Александром Бродом, директором Фонда исследования проблем демократии Максимом Григорьевым и гендиректором Центра геостратегических исследований из Сербии Драганой Трифкович при участии правозащитников и правоведов из Франции, Сербии и США.

The scientific and technical progress influences politics and international relations greatly. Digitalization is becoming the key topic in the world agenda. With this, the importance of states’ national interests and state sovereignty on the background of digital revolution increases. The fourth industrial revolution, the fruit of which are seen everywhere, shows the necessity of complex international collaboration in growing the scientific and technological potential. 

However, technological transformation not only bring benefit to the world community, but also bear many threats. The international digital reality goes far ahead of international law, which only strengthens the risks and negative consequences of digitalization. In this regard, such organizations as UN, WTO, UNESCO and OECD pay special attention to this issue. Russia, being one of the main actors of world politics, also views the issues of international informational security as priority agenda.
