Standardi INTERPOL-a u borbi protiv ekološkog kriminala

Author(s): Sergej Uljanov / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Environmental crime is a serious and growing international problem, and one which takes many different forms. Broadly speaking, wildlife crime is the illegal exploitation of the world’s wild flora and fauna, while pollution crime is the trading and disposal of hazardous wastes or resources in contravention of national and international laws. The international prefix of this variety of criminal activities necessarily caused a reaction of International Criminal Police Organization INTERPOL which has been focusing efforts of its 190 member countries methodologically, typologically and standardized in the way the author is about to show in the article. The author directs his attention to connections between environmental crime and other forms of illegal activities, such as: forging of travel documents, corruption, money laundering and offences against life and limb. Danger of fact that environmental crime, especially its forms like wildlife and pollution crime, is carried out by organized criminal networks drawn by the high profit possibilities and low risk to be detected by law enforcement, is combated by INTERPOL efforts to implement its Environmental Crime Programme, which is one of key issues explored in this paper. Activities of INTERPOL through its working groups and operations, jointly driven by member states of the organization aimed at minimizing the detrimental effects of criminal activities regarding endangering and destruction of nowadays man’s environment, is presented by the author, as well.

Slobodna trgovina i zaštita životne sredine: (ne)rešivi sukob?

Author(s): Katarina Jovičić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Policy of free trade, on which international trade is based, can negatively affect the environment because an uncontrolled economic growth is often followed by pollution of environment and exhaustion of natural resources. This policy is promoted and protected by the World Trade Organization, which has given priority to free trade in a number of cases in which it expressed its opinion about the relationship between free trade and environment protection. Such treatment has provoked, and is still provoking dissatisfaction not only on the part of the movements for environmental protection, which over the last two decades continuously perform activities at national and international level in order to call attention to the dramatic conflict between free trade and environmental protection, but also within the wider international community. Under the influence of their activities and pressures today it has become clear that this conflict must be resolved in a manner that would allow development of both free trade and environmental protection, which are not mutually exclusive, because both are necessary for survival and development of mankind. This question is discussed in this paper mainly through the analysis of the opinions of GATT and World Trade Organization in two disputes that have attracted particular attention of the international community, which are known as “Tuna-dolphin case” and “Shrimp-sea turtles case”, the paper’s conclusion provides a suggestion as to the principles that could be used in finding the solution for a conflict between free trade and environmental protection.

Zaštita životne sredine u krivičnom pravu Republike Srbije i podsticaji evropskih integracija

Author(s): Nataša Tanjević,Ana I. Opačić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Environmental crime is a serious problem and a growing one, and its supression is a considerable challenge both for developed countries and countries in development. In Serbia, until 2004, environmental law was one among the priority areas of reform. However, the EU accession process has put this legal discipline in the fast track, particularly in the part related to the establishment of a criminal law framework of envirmeont protection. It was hence that the Criminal Code of 2005 includes the first systematisation of numerous criminal offences that primarily protect the environment under a single heading, thus justly instituting environment protection as an independent and primary object of protection. The paper indicates the main characteristics of the group of offences against environment as prescribed by the Criminal Code, investiging both substantive and procedural aspects and certain problems related to discovery, evidence and expertise in such cases identified in court practice. In addition, given the Serbian efforts in EU integration, which includes legislative harmonisation, the authors have indicated the importance of EU activities in environment protection.

The level of law guarantee to healthy environment depends on legal nature of law that order this issue, but not only on legislative framework, but also on the consciousness of an individual,states and organizations that enforce these laws.

The Faithful and the Reasonable: Chapters on Ecological Foolishness

Author(s): Hana Librová,Vojtěch Pelikán,Lucie Galčanová Batista,Lukáš Kala / Language(s): English

This book follows the successful titles “The Colourful and the Green: Chapters on Voluntary Simplicity” and “The Half-Hearted and the Hesitant: Chapters on Ecological Luxury.” The author poses the question of why, at a time of continuing devastation of nature, people’s interest in nature conservation has been decreasing. Are the media to blame or is our numbness toward ecological problems rooted in our mental makeup that tends to supress unpleasant realities? The author also wants to find out why some people have remained faithful to nature. To get to the answers, she applies sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological perspectives. An unexpected question that may surprise some readers then becomes: Actually, why should we protect nature when it can take care of itself? It is not weak; it is strong and cruel. Librová’s students Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová, and Lukáš Kala interview the children of “the Colourful,” too: have they inherited their parents’ modest lifestyle?

Propřírodně zaměřený učitel a jeho přístup k (environmentální) výchově

Author(s): Jana Létalová / Language(s): Czech

The publication aims to cover the key factors which influenced the teacher´s biophile/pro-environmental orientation, and his approach to the education, and subsequently provide his life picture for which the term bioprofile is used. In order to fulfill the goal of the publication a qualitative approach was chosen. The group of respondents consisted of four teachers whose profiles corresponded with the set beforehand criteria. For data collecting and their analysis and interpretation the method of life history in combination with the narrative, phenomenological and hermeneutical approaches was used. The final bioprofile, which is mainly the result of the respondents´spontaneous narration, interlinks three related areas. These were detected within the process of the obtained data analysis and comparison. The submitted monography offers a more complex view of pro-environmentally oriented teacher. Exploring the life history of each respondent, enabled us not only to identify the essential factors which influenced the teacher´s biophile orientation, but also to understand deeper his personality and the way of his pedagogical thinking.

Author(s): Lukáš Rubín / Language(s): Czech

The aim of the study is to estimate the strength of associations between physical activity, physical fitness and the built environment among 11-19 year old adolescents living in the Czech Republic.

Adolescents fulfilling the recommendation are more physically fit than individuals not fulfilling the recommendation, yet the relationship between physical activity and selected physical fitness indicators reaches low dependence.
