    Protection of the right to freedom of assembly and association under ECHR: compliance difficulties in Azerbaijan
    (Riga Graduate School of Law, 2018) Ismayilova, Gunay; Miļūna, Ieva; Riga Graduate School of Law
    The protection of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association under the ECHR and compliance difficulties in Azerbaijan, regarding these rights are discussed in this master thesis. The protection of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association is one of the critical elements for the development of democracy, and these rights are protected by international documents such as the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred as the European Convention on Human Rights or the ECHR). Furthermore, the protection of these rights at national level must be compatible with the standards of the Council of Europe. The imposition of restrictions on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association also violates the right to freedom of expression. The main problems and gaps in the national legislation are explained in detail, and research provides the primary solutions for these problems and also weaknesses. Therefore, the research question is to find out whether Azerbaijani government did implement commitments to the Council of Europe regarding the right to freedom of assembly and association, and whether there are sufficient grounds for the restrictions on the freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

    Rights of self-determination in case of Nagorno Karabakh. Status quo and possibilities after the 2020 ceasefire
    (Riga Graduate School of Law, 2022) Ādamsons, Jānis; Miļūna, Ieva; Riga Graduate School of Law
    The region of Nagorno Karabakh has been in constant on and off-going conflict since the end of the Cold war and the majority of Caucasus region, which includes Armenia and Azerbaijan. Nagorno Karabakh has been in the interest of both since it has become a question of who has the right over the mountainous region. The most pressing matter in the relation to this is the fact that both of the states had used military means and made serious humanitarian breaches, despite the outcry from the international community both sides have made at best temporary ceasefires, which have been breached on and off. The main issue in the dispute is the claim made by the region itself, as it has declared its independence, despite that no one has recognized in the international community and the event has complicated the whole situation.
