Consent has been viewed as an expression of a person‘s autonomy or control, which has the consequence of allowing another person to legally disclaim liability for acts, which have been consented to. Consent has many connotations in various privacy laws, somewhere it tows the line of prevailing international laws and in some laws it gets localized, but largely consent remains individuals’ will to share his / her data.

This book questions, for the first time, the assertion of Russia's status as a great power in a sharpened form. Moreover, it proves based on extensive material that Russia has lost the qualities of a structure-forming subject of international relations altogether. The author reveals the contradiction between the real potential of contemporary Russia and the foreign policy objectives formulated by official Moscow. The book also criticizes politicians and scientists of all trends, especially those professing the principle of "ifism" in their research and forecasts. Among other things, it outlines the laws of "pole", "center of power" and "force" formulated by the author, and introduces some new concepts in the theory of international relations (foreign policy potential of the state, the law of optimal ratio of costs of domestic and foreign policy). The author's views on almost all of the issues raised do not coincide with generally accepted interpretations and approaches.

Ethiopia as a member of UN and signatory to bill of rights, has received 421 recommendations through the UPR supervisory mechanism since, 2009 and 2014. UPR is one of the most extensively used mechanism enshrined in legally binding human rights instruments and established by the General Assembly in 2006, as one of the procedures of the Human Rights Council, to review the human rights performance of all States.

Despite that, however, the system by itself lacks certain clarity and fall short of attaining it is objective which is improving human right protection on the ground. some of the short comings of the system are, lack of political commitment, absence of quality of report and short of participating stake holders mainly CSOs in reporting paves the way for poor reporting system of the country. The paper evaluates the UPR system in Ethiopia from the touch stone of it is effectiveness.

This report is designed to understand the UPR process that link with Myanmar government accountability, Civil Society organization perceptive in previous UPR comparative of 2nd cycle state report, UPR recommendations and Burma Myanmar Forum UPR report. As Myanmar arises from decades of authorities rule and international isolation, the issues of human rights need to bring international community through decent mechanism process. UPR is one of unique approach to allow Non-state actors in United Nation Human right mechanism formally. Since 2010, The Burma/ Myanmar UPR forums have been conducted occasionally to propose shadow report with a coalition of independent Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to absorb practically in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process to improve human rights situations of all people and communities of Burma/Myanmar and border areas and again in 2015 and 2017 as well.
