Or any other hostile use. Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modifiers

Sometimes it seems that the Moldovan society, which has seen everyone over the centuries in its lifetime, somehow learned to live with it. But that's just how it seems. Time tightens any trenches and funnels. But never to the end. April 7, 2009 was and remains to this day the watershed line, and the connecting bridges across this moat filled with negative emotions will be thrown only after the society receives exhaustive answers to all questions regarding this gloomy date. Until then, the April Seven will hang over our national unity like an ax of Damocles.

However, the vast majority of citizens of the country and so everything is clear. The question is small: for the official verdict, which will put an end to the dizzying political careers that began precisely on April 7, 2009. Moreover, it is desirable that this verdict become not only exhaustive in its political and legal motivation, but also internationally recognized. It just so happened with us: international legitimacy is at the same time internal. It was this path that the then ruling PCRM took four years ago: the internal investigation, which was carried out simultaneously at the parliamentary and legal (MVD, prosecutor's office) levels, was complemented by maximum openness to international expertise. There was nothing to hide.

It was precisely as a result of the unwillingness of the PCRM and Voronin personally to allow the split to deepen that the instigators of the demonstrations that led to the pogroms, obvious to everyone, ended up not in the dock, not on prison bunk beds, but at the round table of political negotiations. Thus, through a dialogue with European mediation, it has already been possible to extinguish the conflict of the 2002 model. It seemed to be a universal scheme for overcoming conflicts. There were only two things left out. First: in terms of the degree of frostbite and cynicism, the leaders of the "revolution" of 2009 greatly exceeded the main rebel of the beginning of the "zero" Yuriy Roshka. Second: by that time, "European" no longer meant "civilized and objective."

However, the historical fact remains a historical fact: there was no large-scale civil war in Moldova at that time, which was quite likely, even if the then authorities showed appropriate rigidity. Everything else is insignificant compared to this.

How would the little things

The authorities, whose accession in one way or another is connected with the April events all these years, little by little, by a millimeter, shifted the emphasis in their public assessment. So, from the pro-government media, from the speeches of the AIE leaders, the “formal” occasion, under which the then opposition gathered people in the center of Chisinau, finally and irrevocably fell out. We are talking about a loud slogan about “rigged”, “stolen” elections. Not in hot pursuit, and even more so today, no evidence of this most serious offense has been presented to society. Moreover, there are serious suspicions that the Central Election Commission headed by Iurie Chekan, unlike all the other "servants of the communist regime", not only did not lose his post, but also acquired elite real estate, lowering the real result of the PCRM itself. But even without this it is clear: the notorious "revolution" was originally built on a monstrous lie, on gross slander, on slander.

But the "authors" don't care. According to their current version, which is completely official, the youth did not come out four years ago at all at the call of the opposition and not at all to protest against the allegedly “stolen” elections, but in general and abstractly against the dictatorship. The famous words of Filat on the day of the pogrom about “shamelessly stealing” in relation to the election results are carefully covered with archival dust. The "peaceful protest against falsification" turned into an "anti-communist revolution" with a flick of the wrist.

Further - "little things" that only complement the picture. The victim has turned into "victims", and they, who do not exist in nature, are commemorated by the deputies of the former alliance by standing up in the Moldovan parliament. The "organizers" of the protests of April 6-7, 2009 are still present in the ethereal space, but in the form of disembodied, nameless spirits. This is what they say about them: “The organizers announced that the action was completed on April 6”, “The organizers announced a new action, calling for them to come out on April 7 to the monument to Stefan cel Mare.” Who are these organizers, why is it so difficult to give their names, did the same “organizers” complete the action on the 6th and announce a new action on the 7th? Is it really so difficult to look at the IP addresses from whom the notifications came from? What for? The presence of "organizers" interferes with the version of a "spontaneous" revolutionary wave against the "dictatorship" and are doomed, like all sorts of ghosts, to gradually dissolve, to disappear. Including literally. On April 7, 2013, “Princess of the Revolution” Natalya Morari, judging by the photos posted on social networks, preferred walking around Odessa.
The more monstrous lie...

Only another lie can argue with the main lie about the “stolen elections” – that the communists, they say, organized the pogroms themselves. The clumsy logic in such myth-making, I must say, is visible. The youth (already without organizers) came to peacefully protest not against the falsification of the elections, but against the “dictatorship”, and the vile communists themselves burned everything, and then blamed the then opposition. Many believed. We generally always willingly believe in any paradoxical conspiracy theory - be it self-arson for the joy of a convincing victory in the elections, or the raider seizure of some pizzeria by Oleg Voronin. Four years have passed, most of which they led the country, controlling law enforcement agencies in general and the prosecutor's office with the SIS in particular. All this time - don't go to a fortuneteller - these structures have been trying to somehow make ends meet in this absurd version. If they had even the slightest clue, even a needle in a haystack, it would have been presented to society with great fanfare. However, there was no “evidence” even for the fabrication of a fake!

It is clear that, being politically biased by the current government, the prosecutor's office does not develop obvious versions. For they can give obvious results, and the ruling elite will have to be transplanted to the bunk. From year to year, appearing in Parliament in response to the demands of deputies, the Prosecutor General, regardless of his last name, does not give a single intelligible answer, hiding, like an elephant behind a straw, behind the secret of the investigation. It is said that the organizers should disappear as if they never existed.

Massacre or revolution?

Meanwhile, for a year now, as the day of April 7 - the official Day of Freedom. Lupu's party, who at the time of the pogroms was a communist and speaker of parliament, hotly called them a "coup". Three years later, he voted for the declaration of April 7 as a public holiday. A year later, commenting from the Presidium on the proposal of the Liberal Democrats to honor the victims with a minute of silence (???), he called the events of 4 years ago "ambiguous." And this is already after I voted quite unequivocally for the fact that April 7 is the day of "freedom".

The authorities can't build a message to the end. She really wants to be involved in the revolution, but does not want to be responsible for the pogroms. Vladimir Filat, who “became famous” on April 7, 2009 with a panicky cry: “I didn’t take people out!”, four years later reports that on April 7, 2013 he met with young people and talked with them about “freedom”, about the future of the country. (To the scathing comments on social networks of that four-year-old youth: “We were young and stupid” - author's note). That is, he strongly emphasizes his involvement in the struggle for freedom four years ago, while four years ago he denied it in every possible way.

Another “revolutionary” and “freedom fighter”, Dorin Chirtoaca, called “slander” and “montage” the telephone conversation with his deputy used in the film “Attack on Moldova”: “Leave these people, they know what they are doing”, and even who, together with his uncle Ghimpu, tried to collect one million lei each from the TV company NIT and the authors, lost two court cases. Lost, because the examination confirmed the authenticity of the recording. If he lied, claimed that there was no conversation, then he had something to hide. Little lies breed big mistrust.

What is there! Plahotniuc openly stated that he helped to overthrow the communists (and on April 7, this is exactly what happened). And the head of the Constitutional Court, Alexandru Tanase, directly indicated to law enforcement agencies where to look for the organizers: to the parliamentary majority. But they will never make it public. I can’t name names, because there are people who are very active in political life.” End of quote. And the movie "Attack on Moldova".

Myths and myth-makers Myths are different. There are stable, but there are - so-so, stick and fall apart. Depends on the mythmakers. The myth of the victory of the revolution and the advent of an era of freedom, still built by the half-decayed government, at the very beginning aroused confidence only in a small part of the Moldovan society. Well, today, four years later, when it became finally clear what kind of “freedom” the incompetent myth-makers prepared for Moldova, freedom of smuggling, raiding, theft, violation of the Constitution, mockery of democratic norms, freedom of lawlessness and unpunished murders, people stop believing in this myth even the "revolutionaries" themselves.

Preamble

General Assembly,

Reaffirming the fundamental purposes of the United Nations, in particular the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of friendly relations among nations and the implementation of international cooperation in solving international problems in the economic, social, cultural, technical, intellectual or humanitarian fields,

knowing that:

a) humanity is part of nature and life depends on the continuous functioning of natural systems that provide energy and nutrients,

b) civilization has its roots in nature, which has left its mark on human culture and has influenced all creations of art and scientific achievements, and it is life in harmony with nature that provides a person with the best opportunities for the development of his creativity, recreation and leisure activities,

being convinced that:

a) every form of life is unique and worthy of respect, whatever its usefulness to man, and in order to recognize this inherent value of other living beings, man must be guided by a moral code of conduct,

b) man can, by his actions or their consequences, modify nature and exhaust its resources, and therefore he must be fully aware of the urgent need to maintain the balance and quality of nature and natural resources,

being sure that:

(a) The long-term benefits that can be derived from nature depend on the conservation of ecological processes and systems essential to the maintenance of life, as well as on the diversity of organic forms endangered by man through overexploitation or destruction of natural habitats,

b) the degradation of natural systems as a result of the excessive consumption and abuse of natural resources, as well as the failure to establish a proper economic order among peoples and states, leads to the destruction of the economic, social and political structures of civilization,

c) the pursuit of scarce resources is the cause of conflicts, and the conservation of nature and its resources contributes to establishing justice and maintaining peace, and it is impossible to save nature and natural resources until mankind learns to live in peace and gives up war and the production of weapons,

Reaffirming that man must acquire the knowledge necessary to conserve and enhance his ability to use natural resources, while conserving species and ecosystems for the benefit of present and future generations,

Firmly convinced of the need for appropriate measures at the national and international, individual and collective, private and public levels for the protection of nature and the expansion of international cooperation in this field,

Adopts for this purpose the present World Charter for Nature, which proclaims the following principles for the conservation of nature, according to which any human activity affecting nature should be guided and judged.

I. General principles

1. Nature must be respected and its basic processes not disturbed.

2. The genetic basis of life on Earth must not be endangered; the population of every form of life, wild or domesticated, must be maintained at least at a level sufficient to ensure its survival; the habitats necessary for this should be conserved.

3. These principles of conservation of nature apply to all parts of the earth's surface, land or sea; special protection should be given to unique areas, typical representatives of all types of ecosystems and habitats of rare or endangered species.

4. Ecosystems and organisms exploited by humans, as well as resources on land, sea and atmosphere, must be managed in such a way that their optimal and constant productivity can be ensured and maintained, but without compromising the integrity of the ecosystems or species with which they coexist.

5. Nature must be protected from plunder as a result of war or other hostile actions.

II. Functions

11. Activities that may have a harmful effect on nature should be controlled and the most appropriate technology should be used that can reduce the magnitude of the hazard or other harmful effects on nature; in particular:

a) it is necessary to refrain from activities capable of causing irreparable damage to nature;

b) activities fraught with increased danger to nature must be preceded by a deep analysis, and the persons carrying out such activities must prove that the expected benefit from it is significantly greater than the damage that can be caused to nature, and in cases where the possible the harmful effects of such activities are not clearly established, they should not be undertaken;

(c) Activities likely to cause damage to nature should be preceded by an assessment of their possible consequences, and studies on the impact of development projects on nature should be carried out sufficiently in advance, and if such activities are decided to be carried out, they should be carried out on a planned basis and conducted in such a way to minimize its possible harmful effects;

d) activities in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fisheries should be carried out taking into account the characteristics and reserves of natural resources of these areas;

e) areas that have fallen into decay as a result of human activity are subject to restoration in accordance with their natural potential and the requirements of the well-being of the population living in these areas.

12. Any discharge of pollutants into natural systems should be refrained from and:

a) if such a discharge is unavoidable, then these pollutants should be treated at the places where they are produced, using the most advanced means available;

(b) Special precautions must be taken to prevent the dumping of radioactive or toxic waste.

III. Implementation

14. The principles set forth in this Charter should be reflected in the laws and practices of each State, as well as at the international level.

21. States, and to the best of their ability, public authorities, international organizations, individuals, associations and enterprises should:

(a) Cooperate for the protection of nature through joint activities and other appropriate activities, including exchange of information and consultations;

b) establish standards for the use of materials and the application of technological processes that can have a harmful impact on nature, as well as develop methods for assessing this impact;

c) apply the relevant provisions of international law aimed at the conservation of nature and the protection of the environment;

d) ensure that activities carried out within their jurisdiction or under their control do not cause damage to natural systems located in the territory of other states, as well as in areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction;

e) protect and conserve nature in areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.

35. The husbandmen seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

From the book Explanatory Bible. Volume 9 author Lopukhin Alexander

35. The husbandmen seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. (Mark 12:3; Luke 20:10). Theophylact says: “The sent slaves are the prophets who were insulted in various ways by the vinedressers, i.e. the false prophets and false teachers of the time, the unworthy leaders of the people.

The Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Means of Influencing the Natural Environment is a treaty of international disarmament law with the aim of ending the arms race and achieving general disarmament and serves, in particular, to protect the natural environment during hostilities. It prohibits the hostile use of the natural environment as a means of warfare. Its provisions are supplemented to a large extent by the provisions of Additional Protocol 1 of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which expressly prohibit damage to the natural environment in situations of armed conflict. The protection of the natural environment in the event of an armed conflict is also provided for, although this is not explicitly stated, by other norms and principles of international humanitarian law. These are the usual rules of a general nature concerning the conduct of hostilities, such as the principle of distinguishing between military and civilian objects in attacks and the principle of proportionality, which prohibits the use of means and methods of warfare that cause unnecessary damage. Convention was developed within the framework of the Committee on Disarmament, adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1976 and opened for signature in Geneva on May 18, 1977. On October 5, 1978, it entered into force.

The term "means of affecting the natural environment" refers to any means to change - through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes - the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or outer space.

The States Parties to the Convention shall promote the most complete exchange of scientific and technical information on the peaceful use of means of influencing the natural environment and shall have the right to participate in such an exchange. Participating States in a position to do so, individually or jointly with other States or international organizations, will contribute to international economic and scientific cooperation in the conservation, improvement and peaceful uses of the environment, with due regard to the needs of the developing regions of the world.

Any State Party that has reason to believe that any other State Party is acting in violation of the obligations of the Convention may file a complaint with the UN Security Council. Such a complaint must contain all relevant information, as well as all possible evidence supporting its validity. Each state party to the Convention undertakes to cooperate in any investigation that may be undertaken by the Security Council in accordance with the provisions of the UN Charter. The Security Council informs the participating States of the results of the investigation.

The convention is drawn up in Russian, English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese and French. It contains only 10 articles.
