The journal Access to Justice in Eastern Europe has released its third issue, presenting a comprehensive collection of scholarly articles, reviews, and case studies that examine critical issues in modern procedural law and the judiciary. The issue provides a deep analysis of urgent problems stemming from geopolitical crises as well as significant trends in legal development.

 

A central theme is the profound impact of armed conflicts, state aggression, and terrorism on the framework of international law and human rights. Foundational studies within the issue analyze the concept of human security during a full-scale war, the right of terrorism victims to receive compensation from foreign states, and the legality of espionage in peacetime.

The issue also explores emerging trends that are reshaping the legal landscape, including the accelerated digitalization of justice systems and the evolving practice of arbitration. Through comparative studies spanning jurisdictions in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the articles offer valuable insights into these transformations. Noteworthy contributions examine the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Kazakhstan, the innovative framework of "smart trials" in the UAE, and the complexities of ICSID arbitration in the absence of a direct agreement.

The research presented is intended to provide new ideas and stimulate further academic discussion on the challenges and reforms within judicial systems globally.
