The United Kingdom is composed of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain itself is composed of three different parts: England, Wales, and Scotland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was originally established in 1801, when Ireland formally became part of the country. (As Ireland is treated in a separate chapter, we only deal here with Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Concerning Ireland and the Irish Republic see also the chapter on Ireland). The United Kingdom therefore consists of four parts: England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland (since 1921 Northern Ireland).KeywordsNineteenth CenturyInfant MortalityNordic CountryDemographic TransitionDivorce RateThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Convention between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and capital. London, 12 October 2000

The article is devoted to the study of legal regulation concerning the social protection of service members in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Ukraine. A comprehensive comparative analysis of key aspects of service members’ support has been conducted, focusing on financial provision, pension schemes, healthcare, rehabilitation, psychological assistance, and social benefits. Particular attention is paid to the British model of social protection, which demonstrates a systematic approach to supporting service members. Legislative mechanisms, such as the Armed Forces Covenant, ensure equal rights to social benefits for service members. The study also examines unique medical and pension programs that consider the specifics of military service, as well as compensation payments for injuries or loss of work capacity. A significant role in this system is played by mental health support, which includes uninterrupted access to counseling, rehabilitation programs, and assistance for service members’ families. The analysis of Ukraine’s system of social protection revealed notable achievements, such as the introduction of additional payments and support for service members during the state of war. At the same time, several issues were identified, including underdeveloped psychological assistance, delays in rehabilitation, and challenges in accessing many benefits due to bureaucratic obstacles. Special attention is given to the need for reforming healthcare mechanisms, which do not always meet the needs of service members. Based on the analysis, a range of measures has been proposed to improve Ukraine’s system of social protection. Key recommendations include introducing a «Service Member’s Social Card» to simplify access to benefits and services, creating a national psychological support system, improving access to quality medical care, and developing programs for the reintegration of service members into civilian life. The results of the study may serve as a basis for developing a modern model of social protection for service members in Ukraine, considering international experience and national specifics. The proposed changes aim to enhance social justice, elevate the prestige of military service, and ensure decent conditions for service members and their families.

The article attempts to answer whether, and if so, to what extent, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union (the so-called Brexit) impacted the British model of democracy. The starting point for the analysis is the famous classification of Arend Lijphart, who distinguished two main models of democracy – Westminster and consensus – identifying the United Kingdom as a prime example of the first of them. Using the method of institutional and legal analysis and the historical method, the author tries to prove the thesis that Brexit has shaken the foundations of the majoritarian democracy in the United Kingdom. However, the transformations of this model are not a new phenomenon, as they are part of the trend of changes occurring in this country, at least since the end of the 1990s. The article also proves the thesis that the serious political and systemic tensions to which Brexit – for very different reasons – led can be treated as temporary, as there is little indication that these tensions would permanently undermine the foundations of the Westminster model of democracy in the United Kingdom.

Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the scheme of international scientific observation of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. London, 20 December 2001

The 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR) came into force for all Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) in June 2007 and the deadline for achieving compliance was June 2012. The purpose of the IHR is to prevent, protect against, control – and provide a public health response to – international spread of disease. The territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and that of several other Member States, such as China, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and the United States of America, include overseas territories, which cover a total population of approximately 15 million people. Member States have a responsibility to ensure that all parts of their territory comply with the IHR. Since WHO has not provided specific guidance on compliance in the special circumstances of the overseas territories of Member States, compliance by these territories is an issue for self-assessment by Member States themselves. To date, no reports have been published on the assessment of IHR compliance in countries with overseas territories. We describe a gap analysis done in the United Kingdom to assess IHR compliance of its overseas territories. The findings and conclusions are broadly applicable to other countries with overseas territories which may have yet to assess their compliance with the IHR. Such assessments are needed to ensure compliance across all parts of a Member States’ territory and to increase global health security.
