Copyright issues
[edit]This article began with extensive content copied from [1] and remains both copied and closely paraphrased from that source. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of problematic content, consider the following:
He is a member of the ILC (the International Law Commission), whose membership comprises only 34 distinguished international legal experts from the entire world, representing different legal systems. In the ILC he actively participates in the work on the future international legal regulation of objections to reservations to treaties, the deportation of aliens, the responsibilities of international organizations, the effects of armed conflicts on treaties, the international legal protection of natural resources, in particular, underground water resources that extend to the area of several states, and regarding the problem of extradition and adjudication. He served as President of the Commission from 2008 to 2009.

As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch.
The article has been replaced with a notice of these copyright concerns that includes directions for resolving them. If the material can be verified to be compatibly licensed or public domain or if permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution. If you can resolve it that way, please let me know if you need assistance with those directions. Otherwise, so that we can be sure it does not constitute a derivative work, this article should be rewritten; there is a link to a temporary space for that purpose in the instructions which now appear in place of the article. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
