Over the entire 20th century, there was a joint government of France and the Great Britain in what is now the Republic of Vanuatu. This specific form of governance, called condominium, is legitimatised by the virtue of international law, but it occurs indeed rarely. This political system provides the equal distribution of rights and responsibilities in the colony, and also between the partner states. Nonetheless, the dual governments in Vanuatu deny this principle. The article presents the history of the Republic’s statehood as well as the implications of the joint British-French governments on the current legal order.

This article aims to analyse the legal status of regional cooperation among the South Pacific countries and territories, as not every entity in the Pacific Basin possesses International law features of a state. Regionalisation, as well as regionalism, as illustrated by the example of the South Pacific region, is a new topic to examine, especially in the Polish and European literature. Therefore, this topic does need further and deeper analysis. First of all, both regionalism and regionalisation are international phenomena that were set against the process of globalisation only in the last two decades of the 20th century. Secondly, the Pacific Ocean became more dominant in geopolitics than the Atlantic Community at the beginning of 21st century. There are many publications regarding local cooperation mechanisms worldwide. Most of them, though, concern political and/or economic integration, and neglect the legal aspects of regional integration. The outcome of this article is nonetheless to present the contemporary legal statusof the South Pacific cooperation, though it is at the stage of regionalisation, while not yet regionalism – fully formalised and structuralised just as it is on the other continents.

In total, there were 21 presenters: young scholars, experienced academics, independent researchers as well as enthusiasts of the Australian continent. Besides the University of Bergen in Norway, foreign speakers represented the Université de Bourgogne in France and the Australian Embassy in Poland. Three diplomatic missions have taken the honorary patronage over the event. Those were the Australian Embassy, the Embassy of New Zealand, and the Polish Embassy in Australia.

Cooperation in the South Pacific region is unique due to the characteristics of its participants. Following the period of decolonization (1962-1980), countries in Oceania have radically changed. Achieving independence gave those nations international legal personality, yet complete independence from their former colonial powers. The following consequence was gaining an opportunity to draft, adopt and execute own laws in national and foreign policy. PICT (Pacific island countries and territories) have been expanding connections, political and trade ones, within the region since the 1960s when permanent migration of islanders and intra-regional transactions began. Migrations along with foreign aid are considered as the distinctive characteristics of the Pacific Ocean basin. Since the 1980s, the regional integration in Oceania, through establishing regional groupings and increasing the regional trade agreements number, took on pace and scope. The MIRAB synthetic measure (migration, remittances, aid, bureaucracy) has been used in analyzing the Oceania developing microeconomies. Last but not least, migration and foreign aid have been retaining the region from a deeper and more effective stage of regionalism.

The article concerns the idea as well as the form of international cooperation between states and international organizations, illustrated by the example of the relationship between the European Union and the Pacific region. There is some useful literature on the subject but this needs be to completed. The influences of the world’s leaders collide on the Pacific Ocean, which gives this area primacy in geopolitical domination, slowly downgrading the Atlantic Community. The main purpose of the paper is, therefore, to research the possibilities and methods of legal and extrajudicial cooperation betweentwo continents which are very distant from each other. This work underlines the difference between official policy, presented by the regional intergovernmental organizations, and the individual policies of member states, who are not tied down by Brussels politics and may maintain their own foreign relations.

Satellite navigation gains importance in sustainable development of modern civilisation. With the increasing number of GNSS-based technology and socio-economic systems and services, satellite navigation has become an essential component of national infrastructure. This calls for novel requirements on GNSS positioning perfomance, and increasing need for resilient GNSS development. Here we examined the impact of rapidly developing tropical cyclone on GPS positioning performance degradation, and the resulting impact on oceanic non-navigation and navigation GPS applications. We presented the methodology for indirect simulation-based GPS positioning performance evaluation through utilisation of experimental GPS observations, GNSS Software-Defined Radio (SDR) receiver, and a statistical analysis and framework we developed in the R environment for scientific computing. We identified alteration of GPS positioning error components time series statistical properties, and discuss the potential impact on GPS-based services essential for remote oceanic island communities. Manuscript concludes with the summary of findings, proposal for recommendations on improved GNSS resilience, and an outline for future research.

The paper aims to illustrate profiles of important Polish diplomats in relations between Poland and the Pacific. The characteristics of the Pacific region, its geopolitical position towards Europe, the relatively small trade, as well as limited diplomatic ties do not pose a priority direction to Polish diplomacy. However, as been shown by Western scholars, the role of Oceania gradually increases, neglecting the existing supremacy of the Atlantic Community. Warsaw efforts to maintain and then to deepen friendly relations with the Pacific are caused by various reasons. There is a need for establishment strategic partnerships on the political and economic basis. This is crucial for Poland, which looks to strengthening its role on the international arena. Polish ambassadors and consuls, including honorary consuls work on many areas of bilateral cooperation, often beyond the obligations under the Vienna Convention. That is the daily work of Polish diplomats, which allows bringing closer two distant regions (in both geographic and social sense) for our mutual benefit. Some significant names have to recalled already here: John Roy--Wojciechowski, former Honorary Consul of Poland in Auckland, whose multidimensional activity influenced development of Polish--New Zealand relations, Bożena Jarnot, Honorary Consul in Hawaii, involved in popularising Polish culture in the UK and Paweł Milewski, Polish Ambassador to Australia and Papua New Guinea, who is the Foreign Ministry envoy to establish further diplomatic relations with the Pacific.

Referat ma na celu przedstawienie ważnych dla relacji Polska-Pacyfik postaci polskich dyplomatów. Specyfika regionu Oceanu Spokojnego, jego położenie względem Europy, relatywnie mała wymiana handlowa, a także nieliczne stosunki dyplomatyczne z państwami Pacyfiku Południowego sprawiają, iż nie jest to kierunek priorytetowy polskiej dyplomacji. Jednak, jak wskazują zachodni badacze, rola Oceanii stopniowo acz znacząco rośnie, deklasującym tym samym dotychczasowy prym Wspólnoty Atlantyku. Starania Warszawy o nawiązanie, a następnie pogłębianie przyjaznych relacji z państwami Pacyfiku spowodowane są m.in. potrzebą ustanowienia partnerstwa strategicznego na gruncie politycznym i ekonomicznym. Ma to kluczowe znaczenie dla Polski, która dąży do umocnienia jej roli na arenie międzynarodowej. Polscy ambasadorzy oraz konsulowie zawodowi, a także honorowi, działają na wielu płaszczyznach współpracy bilateralnej, nierzadko wykraczając poza obowiązki wynikające z Konwencji Wiedeńskich. To dzięki codziennej pracy dyplomatów z Polski, dwa tak odległe geograficznie i społecznie regiony mogą współdziałać na rzecz obopólnych korzyści. Już teraz należy wymienić nazwiska Johna Roy-Wojciechowskiego, byłego Konsula Honorowego RP w Auckland, którego wieloaspektowa aktywność znacząco wpłynęła na rozwój relacji polsko-nowozelandzkich, Bożeny Jarnot – Konsul Honorowej na Hawajach, angażującej się w popularyzację polskiej kultury na Wyspach oraz Ambasadora RP na Australię oraz Papuę Nową Gwineę, Pawła Milewskiego, który jest wysłannikiem MSZ w ustanawianiu kolejnych stosunków dyplomatycznych na Pacyfiku.
