Preface
The fourth Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Montenegro takes stock of progress made in environmental governance and management since 2013 and provides recommendations for further implementation. Additionally, the review examines developments related to Montenegro’s attainment of relevant targets under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Abstract
Recommendation M suggests to governments to explore the possibility, wherever feasible and where the national legal framework permits, to involve their market surveillance authorities in the fight against counterfeit goods – in a complementary way to existing national legal mechanisms.
Выполнение рекомендации M.2
Обладатели прав ИС кровно заинтересованы в том, чтобы контрафактные товары не попадали на рынок, и часто имеют собственные механизмы для этого либо внутри компании, либо через отраслевую палату.
States set the stage for rapid change
The environment for business shapes corporate performance on gender equality. Stateled mechanisms have influential roles, including legal and regulatory frameworks, policy and fiscal incentives, trade systems, and formal and informal channels for private sector engagement.
Application de la recommandation M.2
Les détenteurs de DPI ont tout intérêt à veiller à ce que les marchandises de contrefaçon ne pénètrent pas sur les marchés et ils disposent souvent de leurs propres mécanismes à cet effet, soit en interne, soit par l’intermédiaire d’un organisme sectoriel.
Conclusion
Developing countries, particularly least developed countries, are progressing in various ways in building inclusive and resilient digital ecosystems, with the support of UNCTAD and other development partners.
Связь расширения прав и возможностей женщин с более широкими стратегическими приоритетами
Разработка Плана действий по обеспечению гендерного равенства (GAP) — это не только шаг к расширению прав и возможностей женщин и обеспечению равенства. Это также инструмент достижения более широких сквозных целей, к которым уже стремятся многие организации. Таким образом, GAP может быть как самостоятельной инициативой, так и катализатором трансформации в других стратегических направлениях.
Implementation of recommendation M.1
Most countries have an intellectual property office (IPO) or equivalent. An IPO is responsible for tasks related to IPR, following international and regional regulations in the field of legal protection of IP, supervision of collective management organizations for copyright and related rights and raising public awareness. Identification of counterfeit goods in international trade is often dealt with by customs authorities.
Abstrait
Dans la Recommandation M, il est proposé que les pays étudient la possibilité, lorsque cela est réalisable et que la législation nationale s’y prête, de faire participer les organismes de surveillance des marchés à la lutte contre les marchandises de contrefaçon, en complément des mécanismes juridiques nationaux existants.
Implementation of recommendation M.3
When carrying out their regular activities to check compliance, market surveillance agencies may detect counterfeit goods. This recommendation suggests going a step further and to actively test not only for compliance against regulations, but also to identify potential counterfeit goods. Information essential for the identification of products with a serious risk, which represent basic information for market surveillance, are at the same time important indicators of whether the product is original or has indications of suspicion that it is a counterfeit good.
Application de la recommandation M.1
La plupart des pays disposent d’un service de protection de la propriété intellectuelle ou d’un organisme équivalent.

Выполнение рекомендации M.5
Данные и обмен информацией Бимеют ключевое значение здля эффективного выявления мподозрительных контрафактных отоваров.
Application de la recommandation M.6
Grâce à la coopération et la coordination, notamment en matière de DPI, les pays devraient pouvoir mener des actions efficaces sur la base des ressources existantes, éventuellement en ajoutant dans les outils d’analyse des risques et les bases de données des algorithmes permettant de mieux repérer les potentielles marchandises de contrefaçon.

Disposiciones de la convención recogidas en otros tratados internacionales
Aunque la Convención es el único tratado exhaustivo y universal sobre la desaparición forzada, la desaparición forzada es un delito de derecho internacional y vulnera múltiples derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales consagrados en varios tratados universales y regionales de derechos humanos y en otros tratados internacionales.
Note
Within the Division on Technology and Logistics of UNCTAD, the E-commerce and Digital Economy Branch carries out policy-oriented analytical work on the development implications of information and communications technology (ICT), e-commerce and the digital economy.
Methodology
Implementation reviews apply a monitoring methodology to assess progress and gaps and document good practices, policy impacts and lessons learned in the implementation of the recommendations, actions and measures derived from a national or regional reference document, such as an assessment (eTrade Readiness Assessment (eT Ready) or eT Ready-based), or a key reference policy document (e.g. action plan, e-commerce strategy or policy).
Principios rectores para la búsqueda de personas desaparecidas

Challenging isil/da’esh “Association” as the reason for Al-Hol detention
Historically, the arbitrary detention of individuals in Al-Hol has been justified by their alleged “association”63 with ISIL/Da’esh.

Relier l’autonomisation des femmes aux priorités stratégiques plus larges
L’élaboration d’un plan d’action pour l’égalité des sexes n’est pas seulement une étape vers l’autonomisation des femmes et l’égalité – c’est également un élément essentiel pour faire progresser des objectifs transversaux plus larges auxquels de nombreuses institutions se sont déjà engagées. De cette manière, le plan d’action peut servir à la fois d’initiative autonome et de catalyseur de progrès dans d’autres domaines stratégiques.
Introduction à la convention
La Convention est le premier instrument international11 des droits humains12, juridiquement contraignant, sur les disparitions forcées. Elle énonce en détail les obligations des États parties à l’égard de ce phénomène, qui constitue un crime en droit international et une violation flagrante des droits humains, ainsi que des droits fondamentaux des victimes correspondantes.
Avant-propos du président du comité des disparitions forcées
Le 20 décembre 2006, la Convention internationale pour la protection de toutes les personnes contre les disparitions forcées a été adoptée par l’Assemblée générale lors de sa soixante-et-unième session. La Convention est entrée en vigueur le 23 décembre 2010. Depuis lors, le Comité des disparitions forcées travaille au quotidien pour soutenir les États parties, les victimes, les organisations de la société civile et les institutions nationales des droits de l’homme afin d’éradiquer et de prévenir les disparitions forcées. Dix ans plus tard, il reste encore beaucoup à faire.
