The primary aim of this thesis is to critically assess the Swedish - Russian relations focusing on intrusions of Swedish territory over the last few years (esp. the territorial waters by submarines and the airspace by jet planes) which already appeared at the beginning of the cold war as a shaping feature of present relations between these two countries. In conclusion, the thesis says that the historical events (i.e. recent submarine-incidents in Swedish waters) have led to even bigger mistrust and negative perception of Russia.

The United States imposed the longest lasting sanction regime on Cuba in 1960 as a result of strained relations in recent years.

General Assembly, the highest authority of the UN, adopts not legally binding but politically significant resolutions. Resolution condemning US sanctions regime has been adopted annually since 1992. Discussion on changes of the sanction regime in the General Assembly is a sign of reflection on current events and unrigid process of resolutions adoption. The main purpose is to determine whether the changes of the sanction regime were mentioned in the discussions on the adoption of the resolutions. The result of the analysis shows the reflection of the events in the speeches of ambassadors. The amount of mentioned events in speeches depends whether they were positive or negative step toward easing the embargo, and also how important the event was.
