“Home is where the hearts is”, my home is Kazakhstan one of the ex-soviet union countries where the collapse of the Soviet Union have a severe contradictory economic, social and legal effect on my homeland in spite of 24 years of Independence. My passion to study international law goes back to 1991, when the Soviet Union had collapsed, with Kazakhstan becoming an independent country.

Since middle school I knew exactly what I would want to pursue after my high school graduation and this knowledge motivated me to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Law from T.Ryskulov Kazak New Economic University,…

Lighter skin colours are more desirable compared to darker skin colours, so the value of a partner is based on their skin colour or ethnic origin. If their socio-economic statuses were…
Eurasia has a horizontal axis, its land spread across similar latitudes. This made food production easier because the climates and seasons were similar. In conjunction with its geography, the Eurasian continent had the easiest time sharing and gathering techniques. Food production first formed in societies with access to clean, fresh water, river systems. Continents like Australia, first set back by geographical isolation, lacked these river systems and was therefore late to the game on food…

enactments. This has no effect on parliamentary supremacy at all, this is due to the fact that a statute prevails every time, as soon as a royal prerogative and a statute comes into conflict the royal prerogative goes into abeyance and statute comes out on top. Therefore, these 3 principles prove that Royal Prerogatives have no effect on parliamentary supremacy at all, as parliament would just need to create another statute in order to force the royal prerogative into abeyance. On the other…
Abstract The European Union of today is the result of a process that began over half a century ago with the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community.

You see, the British people only gave input to join an economic community which has since transformed to the European Community, and now the European Union without the consent of the British people. Since our admittance to the EU, our right to self-govern has slowly dwindled away. Right now, for example, the European Union makes 75% of our laws. They…
