To the question of the right of indigenous peoples to self-determination and its interpretation in international law

© BEIESP. It is well known that the right of indigenous peoples to self-determination today, as well as in the past, continues to be one of the most complex and difficult to solve issues for both national and international law as a whole. It certainly arouses great interest in itself and attracts attention from a wide circle of the public, excites the minds, and at the same time engenders the broadest discussions. Those discussions often provoke an aggravation of the already not benevolent relationship between indigenous peoples and government officials in their countries of residence. Along with this, those relationships continue to be defined and considered by most indigenous peoples of the world as the “foundation” on which their rights rest, as well as their survival and preservation as separate and independent peoples. Given this circumstance, the team of authors of this paper made an attempt to consider this controversial issue from a somewhat alternative point of view in relation to traditional concepts of self-determination of peoples, namely, from the standpoint of human rights and development policy. Thus, the authors bring a new interpretation to the discussion and study of this issue, which needs to be specified and defined

Finite size suppression of the weak field magnetoresistance of lightly phosphorous-doped silicon

We report magnetoresistance measurements of lightly phosphorous doped silicon in samples that are fabricated from silicon-on-insulator wafers and so confined in one dimension. All three principal magnetic field orientations were studied at 50 and 270 K for thicknesses between 1.5−530 μm, and as thin as 150 nm at 270 K. The weak field magnetoresistance was suppressed in the orientations with the field in the sample plane when the sample is thinner than ∼1 μm at 270 K (∼10 μm at 50 K). This suppression occurred for samples that are much thicker than the carrier mean free path and the Debye screening length, and the relevant lengthscale is instead the energy relaxation length

On the role of modern doctrines on human rights (International legal examination)

© BEIESP. The modern doctrines on human rights, which are proposed to be considered in the context of their implementation in international legal practice, are the subject of theoretical and legal analysis in the paper. It is noted that human rights have come a long way in their formation, design and subsequent genesis, and they have finally formed by the end of the last century, and it seems that now all the necessary conditions have been created for their philosophical, legal, axiological analysis and relevant rational consideration of human rights. The advantages of international law in the field of human rights are listed; namely, it is noted that international human rights standards are universal in nature and are binding based on which states are obliged to ensure a minimum standard of those rights and freedoms that are enshrined in international acts, There are listed in the paper advantages of international legal regulation regarding human rights and freedoms, such as the supranational, mandatory and imperative nature of international acts; guarantees of protection and the possibility of restoring violated rights and freedoms of citizens; a man-centred approach in resolving disputes and conflicts arising in international practice. The role of international bodies such as the International Criminal Court, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the Court of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, the International Tribunals for Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia, and the Special Court for Sierra Leone, is emphasized. Particular attention is paid to the principle of presumption of innocence, which has fundamental and quintessential characteristics in the field of human rights
