Геополитика и политика

Австрийский филиал Центра геостратегических исследований организовал 22. июль в Вене конференция на тему нарушения религиозных прав с особым акцентом на Украинскую Православную Церковь в контексте текущих событий.

На Украине на глазах всего мирового сообщества украинские власти уничтожают украинскую православную церковь. Это совместная акция режимов Зеленского и ПЦУ (Православная Церковь Украины), которая находится под патронажем Константинопольского патриархата, а также самого патриарха Варфоломея. Храмы были конфискованы, а духовенство Украинской православной церкви подверглось насилию и гонениям. Мы являемся свидетелями насильственного захвата одного из древнейших центров православного мира Киево-Печерской лавры и ее святынь, сообщили организаторы конференции.

If we are taking into consideration the relations between IR and diplomacy, founded on the contractual relations between the states, it can be argued that soft power in this case mostly depends on the ability of the state authorities to build and maintain international institutions.

After WWII, there was a growing number of significant non-state actors in international relations (IR) like the OUN or various specialist agencies connected to it. Nevertheless, two key developments stimulated the growth of such organizations after WWII:

А. The realization that building cooperation and collective security was a much wider task than merely deterring aggressors in traditional attacks on fixed international order. It, therefore, involved finding ways of agreeing on international policy in a variety of practice areas.

B.  The increasing coverage of international law includes new foci, including, human rights, social justice, natural environment, and regarding warfare – war crimes.
