Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to review, based on the available sources, the role of democratic and civic forces in Montenegro which were against sending Montenegrin reservists to war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, this topic can be analyzed from different aspects, social, political, national, sociological, international, historical, etc. The objective of this study is to highlight the most notable individuals, groups of intellectuals, political organizations, and other associations that advocated for anti-war policies, their treatment by the authorities, and the humiliation and persecution they suffered for their views, all within the social and political context of the time. One of the challenges in writing this paper was the lack of access to archival materials, which are still not available. Consequently, this study relied heavily on the excerpts of the only independent publication in Montenegro at the time, Monitor, and the newspaper Liberal, the publications of the Liberal Alliance, as they reported on anti-war protests, interviews with prominent intellectuals, forms of resistance of various organizations and parties. Although the press is a secondary source, it provided valuable testimony in the absence of archival material. Until recently, in Montenegro almost nothing has been written about the 90’s wars. What are the reasons? This can be the subject of a separate work. But we must state that this is no longer the case. The sources from a very valuable monograph were used in this paper, the monograph in which the facts about the new Montenegrin history were revealed to the scientific and wider general public - the facts which were kept as a secret until now. However, the participation of Montenegrin reservists both in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia cannot be justified by any facts. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind that at that time, Montenegro was a member of a two-member federation (Serbia and Montenegro) and was involved in the war following the instructions of the Supreme Military Command and the political leadership in Belgrade. Unfortunately, the Montenegrin leadership blindly followed that politic. The ruling elite of the Montenegrin politics in the conjunction with the military elite deceived the people by referring to the “heroic past”, tradition, patriarchal norms which dictated that it was a shame not to respond to a military call for “the defense of the homeland”. Progressive civic forces in Montenegrin society did not think this way, and a broad anti-war movement was formed, although it remained in the shadow of those who held power in their hands. Nevertheless, the actions of civic and reformist forces in Montenegro in the 1990s have left an indelible mark on modern Montenegrin history. In addition to trying to promote reason and help the voice of justice to win, they simultaneously fought for the restoration of state independence. It was a difficult and exhausting struggle, which is still not acknowledged properly. The committed mistakes, if they can even be called like that, for that is too mild a word, were accepted late by those who were at the head of political top of Montenegro. Many of the most vocal opponents of Montenegro’s participation in the war affected former Yugoslav republics and bearers of the fight for the renewal of the independence, like Slavko Perović. were totally forgotten.

Abstract:
Abstract Individuals and non-governmental organizations’ access to justice in environmental matters may be hindered by a variety of obstacles, such as the fulfillment of legal standing conditions. In this regard, the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention), on its Article 9(3), imposes on each State Party the obligation to ensure members of the public, “where they meet the criteria, if any, laid down in its national law”, to have access to justice in order to challenge any violation of national environmental law. In this contribution, I focus on this provision with the purpose of assessing its normative content regarding the criteria for legal standing. To this end, I analyze the interpretation of Article 9(3) given by the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee (accc), as well as the relevant case law of domestic courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union (cjeu).

Abstract:
The American Library Association (ALA), founded in 1876, demonstrated its advocacy for immigrants' rights and multiculturalism in adult library services, from 1918 to 1948 in the Committee on Work with the Foreign Born (CWFB), which served as a clearinghouse for Americanization (assimilation) services within a philosophical framework of cultural pluralism, now known as multiculturalism. The ALA CWFB throughout its existence depended on grants from the Carnegie Corporation from 1911 to 1961 through the American Association for Adult Education (1915-41), and the Ford Foundation, through its Fund for Adult Education (1951-61). Beginning in 1956 with the Library Services Act, the federal government began to fund libraries, including programs for immigrants, African Americans, Native Americans, and adult illiterates. Since 1972, the Reference & User Services Association (RUSA) has provided literacy training for foreign- and native-born adult illiterates; and the Public Library Association (PLA) has supported programs to prepare New Americans for citizenship. Since 1983, the ALA Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) has encouraged access to multicultural publications and collaborates with ALA affiliates for various ethnic and minority groups. The ALA advocates for the rights of DACA recipients and supports the need for a DREAMER (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act.

Abstract:
The 1991 films of David Achkar, a French-Guinean filmmaker, and Raoul Peck, a Haitian filmmaker whose family spent many years in the Congo, intersect around Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961), the first Congolese prime minister and victim of a political murder. Both films remain intensely personal if not intimate. Achkar is reminiscent of Beckett in the depiction of “waiting for” an occurrence ever differed. What is haunting about Achkar’s quest is that the filmmaker is in search of his father Marof David Achkar (1930-1971), a choreographer of the Keïta Fodeba “Ballets Africains” (1955-1960) and cultural counsellor to the Guinean embassy in Washington (1960-1964). Marof had replaced Telli Diallo at the United Nations (1964-1968) when he worked against apartheid in South Africa; in 1968 U. Thant (secretary to the United Nations) recommended him to a post of high commissioner to the World Organization in Namibia, a proposal rejected by Sékou Touré (elected as the first President of Guinea, serving from 1958 until his death in 1984) who recalled him to Conakry. Upon his return to Guinea, Marof Achkar was arrested and brought to camp Boiro, where he was tortured, made to sign charges of embezzlement and executed on January 25, 1971. At the time, David Achkar was a child — something of the child remains in the biography of his father. Beyond his father’s political ordeal is the first-hand demonstration of the personal impact the execution had on him; he connects more publicly and didactically with the administration of justice versus political murders in his last film, Kiti, justice en Guinée (1996). Both Achkar and Peck employ collages of family reels, documentaries, and film that may be inspired by Surrealism, a movement mentioned in Death of a Prophet (1991). Peck also moved toward a stronger Marxist message in his 2017 film about the German philosopher, and though he has done several documentaries, he is attached to the current relevance of legacies when he depicts Marx as appealing to today’s youth. In both 1991 films, the sliding distance of political heroes, from public careers to intimate family documents is further complicated by the filmmakers’ decision to intertwine plain autobiography to their biographies. They are working from the premises of affective encounters to create a sense of community. Eventually, Achkar and Peck raise issues about the philosophical nature of identity and the autobiography involved in the encounter with sacrificed or resurrected prophets as interpreted in Allah-Tantou—God’s Will be Done [À la grâce de Dieu] (1991) by David Achkar (1960-1998) and Death of a Prophet, by Raoul Peck (1954-present).

Abstract:
Although American biomedical science relies heavily on the Federal Government for research funding, individual scientists have traditionally shunned politics and public policy. In years past, scientists were not encouraged to mingle with politicians, most of whom viewed scientists as fuzzballs and eggheads with whom they had little in common. Scientists generally believed that government and society valued their services and would always provide substantial support for research and training. Today, biomedical research funding requires a keen knowledge of the U. S. Congress and the political process. Indeed, our professional survival and that of our students and trainees requires active involvement in Washington politics. We can no longer defer the task of justifying our role in society to institutions or blue ribbon panels of elite science experts. Democratic decision-making at its best is process-oriented, time-consuming, and bottom-up, not top-down. Through its proactive policies involving networking, congressional testimony, education and targeted funding goals, the Public Policy Committee of the American Society for Cell Biology has provided a model strategy for member-oriented commitment to science and public policy.

Abstract:
Inquiry committees are the opposition’s sharpest sword in the German Bundestag . In con- trast to the European Parliament, the U .S . Congress, and other international examples, however, TV or Internet transmissions of witness hearings are not common in practice . In the German Bundestag, a double barrier to transmission exists and it consists of the con- cerned person’s consent as well as that of a two-thirds majority in the committee . The author argues in favor of facilitating TV or Internet transmissions of investigative commit- tees by elevating it to an opposition’s minority right while maintaining the requirement of witnesses’ consent to transmissions . That way witnesses could also protect themselves from media distorting their statements, while at the same time fact-finding by a critical public would be supported, and even help to avoid theatrical staging of investigative committees .

Abstract:
The paper highlights some of the deterioration of the defendant, s position in the 2011 Code of criminal procedure of Serbia. On the other hand, it points to some relatively new institutions that go behind the traditional role of the defendant, which is reflected in the opposition to the charges. These are three types of defendant, s agreement with the public prosecution. The first form is a diversionary model, which is applied in the pre-trial procedure. The second is the plea agreement. Both forms were introduced before the confluence to relieve criminal justice, but the defendant himself benefits. The third form is the conclusion of an agreement between the defendant and the sentenced person on testimony in other to successfully detect, prove or prevent the criminal acts referred to in article 162, paragraph 1, item 1 of the Code of criminal procedure.

Abstract:
Purpose Exemption from hospital charges may appear as an essential policy in order to support the poor. Such policies can function for the fulfillment of governments’ social- and justice-based responsibilities in public hospitals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pattern of offering discounts to the poor and the effect of Iran’s recent Health Sector Evolution Plan on it. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted analytical research longitudinally on the data related to cash discounts offered to the poor within a teaching hospital. Data were collected through the period of four months, September to December 2013, before the establishment of the Health Sector Evolution Plan, and in the similar months through 2014, after the establishment of the Health Sector Evolution Plan, in order to compare the amount of cash discounts. The type of insurance, length of stay, amount of discounts offered to patients, and total costs of hospital charges were studied and compared by referring to the social working department. Data were analyzed using the χ2-test, Mann-Whitney U test, ANOVA, and regression analysis aided by SPSS 20. Findings The number of patients offered discounts or exempted from payment in 2014 reduced compared to the number in 2013. The highest rate of demand for discounts was related to patients covered by Emdad Committee followed by those who had no insurance. The ratio of discount to cost in the oncology ward was higher than other groups. Originality/value The results of the present study can contribute to the plans of health system policy makers in organizing measures for supporting poor patients toward accessing healthcare services.

Az 1980-ban megjelent első kiadás óta az Amerikaiaknak szóló étrendi ajánlások (Dietary Guidelines for Americans) tudományosan megalapozott tanácsokat adnak arra vonatkozóan, hogy mit kell enni és inni az egészség megőrzése, a krónikus betegségek kockázatának csökkentése és a tápanyagszükséglet kielégítése érdekében. Az étrendi ajánlások közzétételét az 1990. évi Nemzeti Táplálkozásfigyelő és Kapcsolódó Kutatási Törvény (National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act) írja elő, amely kimondja, hogy az Egyesült Államok Mezőgazdasági Minisztériuma (U. S. Departments of Agriculture, USDA) és az Egészségügyi és Humán Szolgáltatások Minisztériuma (Health and Human Services, HHS) legalább öt évente közösen tegyen közzé egy jelentést, amely táplálkozási és étrendi információkat, ajánlásokat tartalmaz a lakosság számára. A törvény (Public Law 101-445, 7 United States Code 5341 et seq.) előírja, hogy az étrendi ajánlásoknak a jelenlegi tudományos és orvosi ismereteken kell alapulniuk. Az étrendi ajánlások 2020-2025-ös kiadása a 2015-ös kiadásra épül, a 2020-as étrendi ajánlások tanácsadó bizottságának tudományos jelentésén (Scientific Report of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee) alapuló felülvizsgálatokkal, valamint a szövetségi ügynökségek és a lakossági észrevételek figyelembevételével.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a “public goods” approach to the development of “civil society” as a foundation for building a sustainable environment. Economists define “public goods” as goods that cannot be delivered through traditional marketplace mechanisms, such as fire protection and education. Civil Society organizations also can be viewed as public goods. A central feature of sustainable liberal democracies is the existence of intermediary civil society collective organizations. These organizational units are supported by macro-level governmental institutions under the rationale of providing citizens benefits that cannot be provided by the market or directly by the state. This approach provides an alternative to zero-sum conflicts and leads to compromise solutions that will gain taxpayer support. Research findings from a variety of places provide historical illustrations of the effectiveness of a public goods approach include: (1) the U. S. TVA organizational design during the New Deal and the contemporary cross-party appeal of criminal justice reform; (2) the formation of the European Coal and Steel Community - the forerunner of the European Union – which provides one-third of its budget for local-level sustainability projects; and (3) the successful vertical integration of smallholder cooperatives in East Africa that encourages sustainable family, community, and national development.

Abstract After the tense moments of the impeachment trial, the brief excitement of his abortive candidacy for the Democratic nomination, and, it must be said, his rejection by his former friends and party associates who held him under that dread political ban of apostasy, the election of U. S. Grant to the presidency, Chase could find little time for contemplation and for reassessing his position as a Justice and a public man. He was not able to escape for more than a few weeks from the miasmic heat of a Washington August. He could gain no respite from the family problems at Canonchet nor the grueling routine, the careful judgments, and the decisions to be made on his circuit court rounds. Mounting claims on the Supreme Court involving all sorts of war and Reconstruction matters were requiring additional sessions. Some of these decisions were of a political nature, more were increasingly complex business transactions as the economy expanded and diversified after the war. Chase himself decided a range of political, economic, and social cases while on circuit duty that brought legal stability to investment, to financial transactions, and to property ownership that existed before and during the war.1 Though associated with the district court judges, most of the business that came before the circuit as the senior man he handled himself and in so doing established the framework for crucial aspects of Reconstruction.
