“…Democracy is not uniform and may be representative or deliberative (Landemore, 2017). Beyond the right to life converted into the abolition of the death penalty (Manners, 2002) and human security, human rights belong to various generations and can be social, economic, and political with a plethora of elements (Badalyan & Vasilyan, 2020). With peace designated as the normative crown, Kratochwil (2018, p. 216) states that "it is indeed difficult to conceive that a society able to make social interactions possible… or of achieving prosperity through production and trade, if the fear of violence is pervasive".…”

Inspirado en la Nueva Guerra Fría entre Rusia y Occidente desde 2014, este artículo se basa en la teoría moral que gira en torno al marco conceptual del “poder moral” que procede teóricamente del poder “civil”/“normativo/”ética” europeo. Este se aplica a la (Política) Europea de Vecindad (ENP) como un caso de prueba principal compuesto de estudios de casos atomiza- dos en un terreno geográfico caracterizado por la agitación política, de seguridad y económica. Ontológicamente, el artículo une el neorrealismo, el constructivismo y la teoría crítica para explicar los últimos acontecimientos en la vecindad política de la UE. Epistemológicamente, se basa en las trayectorias exterior/interior, ascendente, entrante/saliente para captar la dinámica local, la interacción regional y el contexto global. Metodológicamente, lleva a cabo un discurso cualitativo y un análisis de contenido cuantitativo que trasciende los giros “pragmáticos” y “narrativos” hacia el interpretativismo. Este artículo a) demuestra la transición teórica del “poder normativo de Europa” (NPE) al “poder moral” que deconstruye las normas centrales y secundarias de la NPE y b) anatomiza la ENP a través de los siete “parámetros” de la “moralidad”, a saber, consecuencialismo, coherencia, consistencia, equilibrio entre valores e intereses, estabilidad normativa, inclusión y legitimidad externa, y el tipo relevante de “poder”, es decir, “potencial”, “real” y “actualizado”. De este modo, “construye” una pirámide que compartimenta las normas de la UE de acuerdo con una supuesta moralidad objetiva, una ética relativa y una normatividad subjetiva. En última instancia, más allá de la realpolitik, el artículo muestra el agotamiento de la ENP, que induce la (de) valuación del “poder moral” de la UE a través de “digresiones normativas”: corrosión, derogación, desviación, perversión, erosión, conversión, subversión en conjunto con “distorsiones morales”: moralmente utilitarias, inmorales, antimorales, amorales, inmorales, no morales y moralistas.

This article deals with missing persons in Armenia. So far around 5,000 people from all sides in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have been reported as having gone missing. This article contextualises the democratic and human rights situation in Armenia and argues that if progress is to occur, there needs to be a coordinating mechanism involving all conflict parties to search, recover, and identify the missing. One sign of progress is that a new Commission – the Inter-Agency Commission on POWs, Hostages and Missing Persons – was established in Armenia in 2019, and a new decree adopted. However, it needs to be reformed to allow it to be better suited to achieve the necessary goals. The study examines the law on the missing and finds that there is much confusion about the legislation, as it is scattered and often vague and unclear. The laws are aimed at, and applicable to, criminal cases, and not the humanitarian nature of such instances. It therefore argues that a new law ought to be adopted. A variety of recommendations are made in the article such as the need to enhance information collection, to find potential burial sites, and to systematically map and protect possible burial sites to ensure that future recovery and identification processes are not hindered.

This article deals with the issues associated with missing persons in Georgia, which are deeply interrelated with the conflicts over the disputed territories of Abkhazia since 1992 and South Ossetia from 1991. The article examines the historical, democratic, and human rights context of these issues in Georgia to understand the situation in the country and its effects on how the missing are dealt with. The article deals with the various processes that are working on the missing. The legislation concerning missing persons in Georgia is reviewed and found to be scattered, incomplete and in need of reform. The article also recommends that Georgia allocate more resources to its efforts and better assist the families of the missing. It is also recommended that a Families’ Needs Assessment be carried out and that an Office of Missing Persons be established.
