Legal Culture of the Third Reich

Author(s): Evgenii Aleksandrovitch Palamarchuk / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of the study is to analyze the essential transformation that the phenomenon of legal culture underwent in Germany during the Nazi dictatorship. The author based the article on an interdisciplinary approach, theoretically guided by the theory of totalitarianism, which retains significant potential when addressing Nazi issues. This research is based on the basic principle of historical knowledge: histroricism; objectivity; scientific, and systematic principles. The principle of system analysis played a crucial role in revealing the problem, enabling the identification of its essential aspects. The work employed problem-solving, historical-systematic, and concrete-historical methods. As Nazi rule took hold, a constitutional legal consciousness emerged, leading to the sacrifice of constitutional principles for the regime's political objectives. The deformation of the professional legal culture had extremely negative consequences. It was based on the legal nihilism of civil servants, purposefully implanted among them by the authorities. In the Fuhrer state, Hitler was the main arbiter in all spheres of public and state life. The historical will of the Fuhrer was officially interpreted as an exclusive source of law. The investigation led to the following conclusions: The legal culture of German society in the years in question was characterized by an extreme degree of deformation. Legal nihilism was elevated to the rank of basic values by Nazi leaders. The independence of the judiciary was eliminated. The principles of rule of law and justice have evolved into a tool to meet the regime's political needs.

PREVENIREA ȘI COMBATEREA CRIMINALITĂȚII MARITIME - COMPONENTĂ ESENȚIALĂ A STRATEGIEI DE SECURITATE MARITIMĂ A UNIUNII EUROPENE

Author(s): Cornel ȚARCĂ / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

As a result of growing challenges in the maritime environment, including specific criminality, challenges affecting member countries' economies and regional and international stability, the European Union has developed a Maritime Security Strategy, updated in 2023, which aims to ensure freedom of navigation and the protection of marine resources, including the prevention and combating of crime at sea. Maritime crime includes a variety of offenses, from piracy, smuggling, drug trafficking, human trafficking to illegal fishing and water pollution. These activities not only threaten marine ecosystems but also have significant economic effects on coastal countries and the blue economy. EU cooperation in maritime security is thus not just a defensive act, but an important strategy for maintaining an efficient and sustainable maritime economy and sustainable development in the maritime environment.

THE PECULIARITIES OF THE “CONTROL ACQUISITION” SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE MEASURE ACCORDING TO THE LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Author(s): Alexandru Cicală,Andrei Nastas / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

As part of our scientific approach, we propose to analyse the content of the special investigation measure “Control acquisition” through the prism of the legislation of the Republic of Moldova, taking into consideration the opinions of researchers in the field from the country and abroad. Utilizing special investigative measures, some serious, particularly serious, or exceptionally serious crimes can be successfully investigated, as well as the information necessary to identify the causes and conditions that determine their commission, a fact that considerably eases the prevention activity. According to the provisions of art. 1323 of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Republic of Moldova, the acquisition of control represents the purchase of services or goods in free, limited, or prohibited circulation for the performance of technical-scientific findings or judicial expertise or the investigation of a crime or the identification of the perpetrators.

Angažovati se protiv straha

Author(s): Erik Fasan,Sheyla Benhabib,Sintija Fleri,Étienne Balibar,Wolfgang Merkel,Rut Vodak / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Sociologist Éric Fassin argues that populism is a symptom of neoliberalism, because instead of addressing class inequalities, it redirects frustrations towards minorities, thereby blurring the distinction between left and right and opening the way for neofascism. He criticizes France's "color-blind" rhetoric and institutional racism, arguing that racism implies domination and that "racism against whites" is not a valid concept. Intellectuals, he argues, play a key role in preserving democracy because they raise questions that those in power want to suppress, and their persecution is a sign of authoritarian tendencies.

RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA IN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Ranko Bugarski / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Depending on the uses or misuses it is put to, language can both shape and express the whole gamut of ideologies, political positions and collective sentiments, including such destructive ones as ethnonationalism, chauvinism, racism and xenophobia. The last two, which are the sole concern of this paper, stand out in that they can most clearly take on two essential forms - the overt or explicit, and the covert or implicit. The former is unashamedly aggressive, easy to identify and to that extent more conducive to argument and opposition. The latter, by contrast, tends to be elusive, frequently hard to notice and hence in the long run perhaps even more damaging. To take up racism first, it is well known that certain racial, ethnic or national groups, as well as all kinds of minorities, have long constituted its principal targets.

CRISIS OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE SCARE OF DIFFERENCE

Author(s): Lev Kreft / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Since the beginning of the crisis in what is now the former Yugoslavian area, sc has been talking about the failed role of intellectuals, as well as their (co)responsibility for the resulting situation. As a contribution to the discussion, I explain the following assumptions: 1. Twentieth-century intellectuals are infected with "guilt of conscience". 2. Contemporary extremisms start from their traditional foundations, but they find a rational foundation in the results of enlightened criticism of education. 3. Contemporary extremisms claim that differences are universal, insurmountable and indestructible, and that is why they must not come into contact with each other. 4. Those who implemented the construction of the idea of ​​progress and the idea of ​​universal humanity are not the cause of contemporary extremism. 5. In Slovenia, tradition offers fertile ground for the creation of modern extremism. A certain type of extremism gives something like the air we breathe, as evidenced by at least two characteristics: traditional anti-Semitism that persisted despite the absence of Jews, and modern chauvinism and xenophobia as the first expressions of social self-awareness among the generation in the period of socialization.

IZABRANI NARODI - STRAH I SAMOĆA

Author(s): Branka Prpa / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Nation, as a new kind of religion in modem Europe, actualized some old, almost archetypal, perceptions of human communities. At stake is the idea of particularity, or, more to the point, of „being a chosen people", which resulted in racist and chauvinistic conceptions as the starting points of nationalistic ideological systems. In other words, almost every European nation became a community worthy of adoration which can inspire the deepest loyalty and readiness for the most selfless sacrifice among its members. The universal conception of human beings and their world as a proclaimed and accepted humanist ideal, was allowed to become its own parody -- xenophobic, narrow minded, racist and chauvinistic praxis. In the process of constant questioning of identities in the tradition of universal ideals of humanism, and in the tradition of archetypal, irrational, atavistic founding of communities, Yugoslav peoples found there place in nineteen and twentieth century. Most of all, Serbs and Croats, which entered the Yugoslav community as two strongest integral parts. It is shown in the experience of both Yugoslavia, that the idea of superiority and the consequent idea of hegemony rights, quickly and easily turned into chauvinistic and nihilistic ideology of destruction. The claim that life side by side was impossible for different Yugoslav nations was confirmed in the experiences of the Second World War, an it was reiterated in the praxis of ethnic cleansing as a state building concept on the ruins of Yugoslavia.

In this paper, some traditional models of common life are examined multicultural soil of Serbia: (a) the possibility of intercultural neighborliness, b) assimilation and emigration as variants of the impossibility of intercultural co-citizenship. From that perspective, the author examines the relationship between multiculturalism and "barbarism". All the above-mentioned topos were found in the Serbian literary heritage, and reconstructed with the appropriate hermeneutic procedure.

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE

Author(s): Aleksandar Bošković / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Whether one likes it or not, racism and xenophobia are an integral part of our world. Through the „mainstream" right-wing political parties they have established themselves as more or less legitimate ways of articulating different political interests. As a matter of fact, the French National Front has recently won at the municipal level at 30 cities and towns, including Toulon and Orange. I wish to argue in this paper that to simply dismiss racism and xenophobia from a liberal (or social-democrat, or just left-wing) perspective is both wrong and counterproductive.

SITUIRANA KSENOFOBIJA: OPASKA O GRAĐANSKOM PROTESTU U SRBIJI

Author(s): Đorđe Pavićević,Ivana Spasić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Contrary to its widespread usage, „xenophobia" is here conceived of as a situated phenomenon, one social fact among others. Unlike the predominant understanding of xenophobia as referring to attitudes toward other ethnic and/or religious groups, and bearing an implicit negative connotation, the concept is here taken in its meaning as constructed within a single national community along the lines of political antagonisms, and is freed of its value content. The empirical case-study undertaken in this paper refers to a dramatic day during the civic protest in Serbia in December 1996, when two groups of demonstrators - those opposing and those supporting the regime - confronted each other and clashed in the streets of Belgrade. The response of the anti-regime demonstrators to this „symbolic assault" is described as a xenophobic one, showing indiscriminate hostility towards, and lack of willingness to communicate with, the pro-regime demonstrators. This sort of response, the authors claim, was psychologically understandable in the given context. Moreover, it was politically positive because it prevented the regime from realizing a series of symbolic strategics whereby the power of the protest would have been diminished. Relying on xenophobia, it is asserted, the protest participants kept their collective identity alive and made it possible for the protest to continue.
