Относно принципа за непосредствено действие на разпоредбите на българската конституция от 1991 г.

Author(s): Rosen Tashev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Bulgarian Constitution of 1991 enshrines the principle of direct effect in Article 5, paragraph 2. In its decision № 10 of 1994, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria gave an interpretation of what constitutes the direct effect of the Constitution and how it is exercised, and there are publications on this subject in the doctrine. However, there are not many court decisions in which this principle is practically applied. This article aims to broaden the analysis of this principle. In this way, the Bulgarian Constitution will assert its leading role in the legal reasoning of court decisions. Theoretical approaches and tools proposed in this article should help to strength both the legal effectiveness of the Constitution and modern constitutional democracy.

Законопроектът за административното правосъдие - първи идеи, дискусии и подготовка

Author(s): Evgeni Yochev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The Administrative Justice Act, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated in 2012, marks the beginning of the modern administrative justice system in Bulgaria. The process of drafting the Act goes through two phases, which are distinct in their content and objectives. The first phase (July 1905 - July 1911) can be described as preparatory. The second phase (July 1911 - October 1911) covered the time of the actual preparation and drafting of the administrative justice bill. During the discussion of the bill, especially in the first reading, both the deputies of the government majority and those of the opposition noted the pressing necessity of the law, its importance in establishing the rule of law in the country, in curbing administrative arbitrariness and stabilizing the bureaucracy, in rooting out political partisanship and moralizing party mores.

Разпоредби за чародейства и магии в Разложкия ръкопис

Author(s): Desislava Stoyankova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The book and the language are active factors in the consolidation of Bulgarian intellectual identity and part of our cultural heritage from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The few preserved manuscripts with legal character include both texts with secular regulation and ecclesiastical law. The “law-society-culture” relationship is very close after the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of Bulgaria. Some of this literature did not survive during the Ottoman era, but retained its main functions, namely to guide and point out good and evil in society. An interesting monument from the 19th century period is the Razlog manuscript, called in scholarly circles the "late Nomocanon of 1865". The manuscript is unique precisely in that words of Turkish, Russian or Greek origin can be found in it, as well as Church Slavonic words used only in ecclesiastical texts. The purpose of this article is to present some typical provisions on magic and enchantments contained in the Nomocanon, in particular those that are included in the Razlog manuscript.

Закон за защита на държавата

Author(s): Emanuil Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The State Protection Law remains one of the most discussed laws in the history of Bulgarian legal life. Created in the context of the post-war tragic situation into which the country has fallen, it aims both to prevent the formation of organizations that were detrimental to the existing state and social order and to eliminate possible anti-state activities in the realm. What happens in practice is the misuse of this law, which leads to its use for bloody political and inter-party strife and, to a more limited extent as intended, to curb subversive activities in the state. This article, however, will deal with its legal nature rather than its historical meaning and implications.

Russia, Chechnya and the Geneva Conventions, 1994-2006: Norms and the Problem of Internalization

Author(s): Mark Kramer / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper discusses Russia’s position vis-à-vis the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the two Additional Protocols of 1977 and the implications for the two wars fought by Russian troops against separatist guerrillas in Chechnya in 1994 – 2006. The paper begins by tracing the Soviet Union’s policies toward the Conventions and Additional Protocols and the effects of these documents on Soviet military operations both abroad and at home from the late 1940s through the early 1990s. The experience with the Conventions and Additional Protocols during the Soviet era helped to shape the policies of the Russian Federation, which, as the legal successor state to the USSR, inherited the Soviet government’s obligations under international treaties and agreements. The paper highlights the changes and continuities in post-Soviet Russia’s position and then uses the recent Russian-Chechen wars as a case study. The paper sheds light not only on Russia’s policies in Chechnya but also on recent scholarly literature regarding international norms and state behavior. A norm in international relations, including the tenets of international humanitarian law, can be defined as a shared conception of the appropriate way to behave or the appropriate stance to take on a particular issue.

Отношения между държава и църква във Византия

Author(s): Galabina Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

When we consider the relations between the State and the Christian Church during a certain historical period of their development, we should proceed, on the one hand, from the Christian doctrine of the origin and nature of these two institutions, and, on the other hand, from the concrete needs of the State in the conduct of its domestic and foreign policy. This gives rise to both the manifestations of interaction and some inevitable conflicts. And despite the existence of these two manifestations, the Byzantine state secured the support of the Church during the period of its existence, and the Church exerted great influence over the State. Both as a rule sought cooperation, but human factors, political considerations, or their own interests often played an important role in establishing the relationship between the two institutions.

Разложкият ръкопис - паметник на черковното право

Author(s): Desislava Stoyankova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The nineteenth century was an era of dynamic cultural, social, and economic advancement. During this period, numerous literary models were created, which later became monuments of lasting value. An interesting monument from this period is the Razlog manuscript. It is a legal monument from the second half of the 19th century, containing civil and ecclesiastical laws, which is why it is called the "late Nomocanon". The manuscript provides us with valuable information about the life of Bulgarians in southwestern Bulgaria, both in legal, linguistic and socio-cultural terms. It also served as a guide for clergy in fulfilling their moral and social duties to the people. It contains the basic norms of behaviour of the period under consideration, and from it can be gleaned information from jurisprudence, history, folklore, linguistics, ethnography, etc. This gives us reason to call it the ethical code of the Razlog region.

Въвеждане на българско гражданско управление в Беломорието (1941-1944)

Author(s): Emanuil Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The problem of civil government in Western Thrace during World War II has not been sufficiently studied in Bulgarian legal scholarship. Especially in Greek historiography, the opinion is held that Bulgaria "occupied" Belomorie, but the policy of the Bulgarian government in the region was quite different. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this article aims to shed light on the problem by looking at the structure of the Bulgarian administration and the bodies of leadership and administration in the civil sector, because the main feature of the Bulgarian governmental policy in the area in Spring-Summer of 1941 was the pacification of the annexed territories. During this period, there were extraordinarily many changes in the social life of the region.

Социология на правото

Author(s): Stefka Naumova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Sociology of Law is relatively new science. Its origination and differentiation as an autonomous science in the common family of sciences have gone long and complex way. Roots of Sociology of Law have to be looked for still in the noticeable works of the ancient Chinese thinkers (Confucius, Lao-Tzu), in the original views of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle on justice and its implementation in law, in the brilliant writings of the Roman jurists and historians (Cicero, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius), who still at that time analyze legal reality in the context of the whole political and social structure, seeking philosophical definition for values, moral, justice, and law. Basic role for institutionalizing the sociology of law has had the process of overcoming legal positivism and looking at law in its social context. In the present work, Sociology of Law is defined as a science which studies regular interrogations between legal area of social life and the rest of social areas. It is an organic combination between theory and empiric. The most defining characteristic of the sociology of law is the specific manner in which it approaches law in disciplinary terms. The conclusion outlines the perspectives of Sociology of Law in the new conditions.
