When state A, in which an arbitral award was rendered, decides to annul the award in accordance with its national laws, it does not necessarily mean the award is effectively null and void. Rather, the initially prevailing party X may still be granted enforcement of the award in state B. The situation gets even worse, if a second arbitration is conducted in state A, this time rendering an award in favour of the former underlying party Y. Now party Y may in turn – successfully – seek the enforcement of the second award. This book aims to analyse the legal framework and the national case law resulting in such out-comes and gives recommendations how legal certainty may be assured – de lege lata and de lege ferenda.

This book provides a comprehensive view of the current state of affairs and possible developments in EU education law and policy. It covers the innovations brought about by the Lisbon Treaty as well as the Lisbon/EU 2020 Strategy and its implications for education and training and analyses the EU programme Erasmus+. Moreover, it takes a close look at the right to education as contained in the Charter of Fundamental Human Rights of the European Union and outlines the main trends in European Court of Justice case law. Finally, it focuses on cohesion policy measures and assesses the education initiatives undertaken by macro-regional strategies and the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) European Region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino.

The book examines the extent to which the rights of Armenian minorities to exist, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion, and to use their own language in the community with other members of their group as well as their right to equality, non-discrimination and participation are respected, protected and fulfilled as it is required under international human rights law. Armenians in Lebanon and Turkey constitute a minority on four separate levels: ethnic, national, linguistic and religious. By examining the ways national and international human rights laws are enforced and protected, or violated and ignored, the thesis highlights the problems facing Armenians in Lebanon and Turkey since recent history until nowadays, and provides benefits which would be of great value to human and minority rights discourses.

Korruption gefährdet die Rechtsstaatlichkeit und das Vertrauen in öffentliche Institutionen. Der Europarat nimmt eine Schlüsselstellung im Kampf gegen Korruption in Europa ein, indem er verbindliche Standards etabliert und deren Umsetzung überwacht. Diese Arbeit bietet eine tiefgehende Analyse des Begriffs „Korruption" und beleuchtet die historische Entwicklung von der Europaidee bis hin zum Europarat. Besonderer Fokus liegt auf seinen Antikorruptionsinstrumenten und dem Überwachungsmechanismus GRECO. Die Arbeit liefert erstmals eine detaillierte rechtswissenschaftliche Betrachtung dieser Instrumente und setzt sie in den Kontext internationaler Vergleichsansätze. Abschließend wird das österreichische Antikorruptionsregime untersucht, dessen Umsetzung der Europaratsvorgaben kritisch bewertet und bestehende Schwächen aufgezeigt. Basierend auf dieser Analyse werden konkrete Reformvorschläge entwickelt, um die Korruptionsprävention in Österreich nachhaltig und wirksam zu verbessern.
