This article examines the problem of application of the principle of good faith by the courts of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the definition of which is officially defined in the Civil Code of Azerbaijan. In particular, in cases where the actions of the parties do not fully coincide with the definition given in the Civil Code, the question arises as to how the courts should resolve this issue. Based on an analysis of the legislation and judicial practice of other countries, it is concluded that, based on the principle of freedom of contract, the parties can create their own criteria for determining good faith in a contract.

Throughout history, wars have been prevalent, even in times before states were fully developed. Rulers, kings, and sultans engaged in conflicts for various reasons such as expanding territories, increasing wealth, and subjugating people. Despite attempts to eradicate war, it persists, with some justifying it as “a natural law”. Wars not only cause great destruction in death, disease, hunger and poverty. They also cause serious damage to nature. Serious problems such as loss of farmland, water scarcity and pollution caused by toxic wastes are emerging. This article will examine the hazardous impact of armed conflicts on the environment, and the international protective measures and conventions in place. The article will also explore the Garabagh conflict and consider the hypothetical approach on the possible retroactive effect of Draft Principles on protection of the environment in relation to armed conflicts (hereinafter referred to as the “draft principles”) adopted by International Law Commission in addressing these issues.

Abstract This article examines the evolving role of legal frameworks in shaping ethical artificial intelligence (AI) use in corporate governance. As AI systems become increasingly prevalent in business operations and decision-making, there is a growing need for robust governance structures to ensure their responsible development and deployment. Through analysis of recent legislative initiatives, industry standards, and scholarly perspectives, this paper explores key legal and regulatory approaches aimed at promoting transparency, accountability, and fairness in corporate AI applications. It evaluates the strengths and limitations of current frameworks, identifies emerging best practices, and offers recommendations for developing more comprehensive and effective AI governance regimes. The findings highlight the importance of adaptable, principle-based regulations coupled with sector-specific guidance to address the unique challenges posed by AI technologies in the corporate sphere.

The concept of subsidiarity is closely linked to local self-governance within the legal state. Subsidiarity dictates that issues should be resolved by the smallest, lowest, or least centralized competent authority. Local self-governance within the institutions of the legal state plays a decisive role in upholding the principle of subsidiarity. Subsidiarity is the fundamental principle of governance, dictating that issues should be resolved by the smallest, lowest, or least centralized competent authority capable of effectively addressing them. Subsidiarity is the main principle in the organization and operation of local government. This principle suggests that tasks should be carried out at the lowest level of governance with the necessary authority before being delegated to higher levels. Within the context of local governance, subsidiarity proposes that decisions should be made at the most efficient and effective level possible - at the level of municipalities and even at the level of communities. Local self-governance institutions play a crucial role as the primary mechanism for implementing the principle of subsidiarity, as they are closest to the citizens and are best positioned to understand and respond to their needs.

In the digital age, the interplay between freedom of expression and the protection of honor has become a critical issue, as the internet facilitates both the free exchange of ideas and the potential for harm to personal dignity. This article examines the historical evolution of these rights and their contemporary challenges in the online environment. While freedom of expression is foundational to democratic societies, enabling individuals to voice opinions and participate in public discourse, it often clashes with the right to protect one's honor from defamation, harassment, and privacy invasion. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) plays a pivotal role in balancing these rights, particularly in cases involving public figures where the limits of acceptable criticism are broader. However, the rapid spread of misinformation and the anonymity afforded by the internet complicate efforts to protect individuals' reputations. The article highlights and illustrates these tensions and proposes legal frameworks to better align the protection of honor with freedom of expression in the digital realm. Ultimately, the article advocates for a nuanced approach that considers both national and international legal precedents while promoting digital literacy and responsible online behavior to foster a more respectful and inclusive digital public sphere.

In the article, the theoretical and practical issues of legal protection of stateless persons in modern international law are extensively analyzed based on the existing diversity of opinions in the legal literature, international and domestic normative-legal acts. It is noted that stateless persons are a special category of people whose legal status is regulated by slightly different rules and requires special treatment. The need to adopt special international agreements in this field has confirmed this once again. In general, stateless persons have practically the same rights, freedoms and obligations as foreigners, except for some differences. It is concluded that in order to achieve a more effective regulation, the legal status of stateless persons and the provisions of the international agreement on the elimination of statelessness should be created in the national legislation of the states. At the same time, all the circumstances that can lead to t

The formation of virtual space is not analyzed in a positive way. In the digital age, serious changes are observed in the nature of legal violations through the opportunities provided by new technologies. Violations, which are no longer on the physical plane, but on the virtual plane, cause serious concerns for the modern world population. The problem of defamation, which has a special weight among such violations, is one of the current problems of the time. Due to the lack of clear borders and the possibility of anonymity in the virtual space, it has become possible to easily share and spread defamatory statements insulting the honor and dignity of others. This has resulted in the actualization of the problem of defamation. In the article, the types of expressions historically accepted as defamatory expressions were analyzed in a form interrelated with the protection of honor and dignity, and suggestions were made regarding the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Media.

Specific nature of sexual violence cases requires different approach to evidentiary requirements in gender-based violence cases, especially in transitional justice. Throughout human history misconceptions on women’s credibility in cases of sexual violence and rape prevailing in societies found their reflection in relevant laws as well and imposed evidentiary burdens on the victims of sexual violence, including rape. Under contemporary international law, corroboration is not a legal requirement for proving crimes of sexual violence. It means that a victim’s own testimony is sufficient evidence and no additional evidence to support a victim’s own testimony is required in cases of sexual violence in the absence of any other corroboration from witnesses, documents, medical reports, photos, or any other potentially corroborative evidence. It is important that the contemporary international law supports this approach through its relevant mechanisms and emphasises that a victim’s testimony is not less credible and no need for corroboration to establish credibility. This paper reviews the corroboration rule in common law systems and existence of its some elements in civil law systems, investigates major developments of contemporary international law concerning evidence requirements in sexual violence cases in times of peace and during armed conflicts as well as specific approach needed to develop and implement progressive models of transitional justice on this.
