The United Nations is the main international body to which countries turn to in the presence of a crisis or war. Even though the organisation seeks to ensure the mentioned values, it is being criticised and is offered reforms, which are seen as necessary in order to maximise the potential to succeed, yet it seems to have difficulties in finding ways for improvement. The thesis presents the object of the thesis - Russia’s veto in the United Nations Security Council between the years 2007 – 2019. The goal of the thesis is to reveal the bias performance of the Security Council, specifically analysing the case of Russia, as the main body which is responsible for the achievement of fundamental human rights, values and peace.

Šarūnas Liekis_________ (PMDF Dean) (signature) (date) Kaunas, 2020 I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Gintarė Žukaitė, who has accepted to guide me towards the fulfilment of both, my Bachelor's and Master's thesis, and has never hesitated to encourage me to believe in my ideas and topics of research and was always ready to accept me as her student. My sincere gratitude goes out to the Director of the Andrei Sakharov Research Center for Democratic Development at Vytautas Magnus University, professor Robert van Voren, who has supported me throughout both of my degrees, helped me to trust in my own strength and encouraged to believe in the necessity and value of all the events that were hosted by LUNYA in Vytautas Magnus University. Finally, special thanks to Cihat Yilmaz, who has been of great help when writing this Master's thesis, as well as supporting the implementation of all and any ideas that I have had during my studies. The path towards success would have been more difficult without his support.

It will also analyze the effectiveness of these measures and make suggestions for possible improvements. Once again, while it is the hope of the authors that the coronavirus pandemic is a one time event that will soon be behind us, unfortunately there is no guarantee that either of these propositions will be true. Consequently, it is important to examine Lithuania’s response to the pandemic in the field of labor law to determine what is and is not effective, either to make corrections while the current crisis is ongoing or to present a better model for the next crisis.

While Sugihara’s story has been the subject of extensive research, the question of the legality of his actions, and their broader implications for the development of international law, has not been thoroughly addressed. This article examines these questions, specifically the lawfulness of what Sugihara did, and based on his legacy proposes the adoption of new international law of resistance to genocide that would be applicable to individualsHumanitarinių mokslų fakultetasPrivatinės teisės katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
