Public International Law is a system of law, different from domestic law. Why is this system unique? Usually law regulates relations between people, people and the state etc, PIL regulates relations between states. Thats why PIL is important for international relation students. PIL influences the life of everybody, it doesn't regulate people directly but indirectly (through the decisions of the states), because it's everywhere. It's like air. E.g. when you want to send a letter to Brazil, you put a stamp from your own country and send it from your post office and the letter gets delivered. Why is this so easy, because there are certain international conventions that regulate postal services. E.g. traffic signs are almost the same everywhere, why? Because of certain int conventions that require the states to have more or less unified traffic signs. States apply international regulations to national regulations and they ...

EESTI METSANDUS 2011 EESTI METSAD EESSÕNA Eestlastele on läbi aegade olnud omane lähedane suhe metsaga ja pikaajalised head traditsioonid metsanduse arendamisel. Metsad, mille kogupindala on enam kui 2 miljonit hektarit, moodustavad iseloomuliku osa Eesti maastikust, kattes üle poole meie maa territooriumist. Viimase 70 aasta jooksul on metsade puidutagavara suurenenud enam kui 4 korda. Mitmekordselt on suurenenud ka kaitsealuste metsade pindala. See on oluline fakt, millega tuleb arvestada nii metsapoliitika edasisel kujundamisel kui ka metsade kaitse ning majandamise korraldamisel. Käesolev Eesti Metsanduse ülevaade on k...
