"NASCITURUS PRO IAM NATO HABETUR QUOTIENS DE COMMODIS EIUS AGITUR". РИМСКОТО ПРАВИЛО И СЪВРЕМЕННОТО МУ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ

Author(s): Malina Novkirishka-Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2017

The report presents the rule "Nasciturus pro iam nato habetur quotiens of commodis eius agitur" as it exists in Roman legal texts in relation to the ancient Greco-Roman concept of personae, different from that which we conceive today. In this context, the capacity of human embryo to be subject of right comes from social, religious, medical, moral and especially legal recognition. We discuss some of the heritage aspects of this rule, as well as the issues of early human life, abortion, infanticide and murder of pregnant women, recognition of the newborn by the father, State, etc. Some decisions of the Roman jurisprudence are surprisingly topical and are part of many discussions on its bioethical and legal aspects.

(Ni)kakav osvrt? Period 1933-1945. iz ugla jednog notara

Author(s): Oliver Vossius / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3-4/2016

Author puts forth view that after 1945. the Third Reich became a topic to be reviewed not merely by historians. In the 1960’s lawyers also begin to analyse their own past. Professor Ilse Staff (born in 1928) is at the forefront of this movement. Her book „Judiciary in the Third Reich: A Documentation“, published in 1964, encouraged numerous German lawyers to face the evils of country’s authoritarian past. In his text, Vossius presents results of years of analysing the abuse of German law during Nazi rule. One of the main topics of his research is the role of notaries in the forced appropriation of property from the Jews. He closes his presentation in the following way: „We probably owe gratituted to total defeat of 1945 and the subsequent regime of occupation zones for being at all able to discuss this topic in Germany today. After the initial hesitation, this still lead to the regaining of conscience. I don’t know if world will necessary become a better place in this manner. Fritz Bauer once said „We cannot make Heaven on Earth, but each one of us is capable of contributing to making it Hell“. In this regard, casting a look backwards seems a better option than to overlook or repress such a problem“.

120 THE WORKPLACE APPRENTICESHIP CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT IN COMPARATIVE LAW; REGULATION OF SPANISH LAW

Author(s): Lacraru Anca / Language(s): English / Issue: 02 (43)/2019

With the 2011 and 2012 legislative reforms in Spain, the subject of thetraining and learning contract has changed, meaning that the professional qualification ofemployees is made under a regime of alternation of paid work in an enterprise withvocational training received under the vocational training system employment or within theeducation system. Consequently, the traditional concept of the training and learning contracthas been overcome, allowing, on the one hand, the provision of an accredited professionalqualification to all those young people who do not have it; and, on the other hand, to providethe employee simultaneously with effective work in a company directly related to the traininghe/she receives, which will favour a better link between work and learning at the workplace.Thus, with the introduction of this amendment to the contract, a legal construction existingunder the German rule of law was included in the Spanish rule of law, this being the dualtraining system, which is characterized by the duality of vocational training, in the sense thatit is carried out in two different learning places, on the one hand, in vocational schools whereabout a quarter of the learning time takes place and, on the other hand, in the companywhere it develops, about three quarters of the school year. That is why we will analyse thelegal status of the training and learning contract in Spain and the peculiarities of thiscontract.

15 Years of Walking but How Many Steps? Transitional Justice and the Role of the Print Media in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Author(s): Stela Nenova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

Despite 15 years of major domestic and international peacekeeping and stabilization efforts, there are still major obstacles to state building in BiH. One of the clear signs of the internal divisions and tensions has been the recent alarming trend of efforts to curtail the development of free and independent media in the country to support the process of reconciliation with the past and the growth of a strong civil society. What has been the role of the media in BiH in the process of transitional justice? Have the print media encouraged a constructive social dialogue about the past or they have contributed to further divisions among BiH citizens? This paper looks at the role of print media in the process of transitional justice in BiH. The study investigates the role of the media as a unifying or dividing factor in the process of transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper then looks more in depth into the case of BiH and the print media‘s role for transitional justice‘s successes and failures so far. It argues that the print media have had a more negative impact on the processes of transitional justice in BiH because of the persistent nationalistic rhetoric creating a divided image of Bosnian society.

25 Jahre UN-Tribunal für Jugoslawien

Ein Gespräch über friedensstiftende Justiz

Author(s): Wolfgang Schomburg / Language(s): German / Issue: 02/2018

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has been part of numerous debates and misunderstandings since its creation 25 years ago. An interdisciplinary and intergenerational conversation with the first German UN judge in criminal matters, Wolfgang Schomburg, who worked at the ICTY between 2001 and 2008, addresses the challenges, merits and legacy of this first transnational court after Nuremberg and Tokyo.The insider-perspective of a decision maker, eyewitness and internationally renowned Scholar of international criminal law meets the questions of historiography and political science, researching post-war societies and coming to terms with the past, thus enabling new perspectives beyond politicized debates. Discussing international norms of substantive criminal law, rulesof procedure and evidence, victim protection, acquittals of alleged perpetrators, outreach and the future of international criminal law, the authors try to approach the interdisciplinary question how justice and truth finding endeavors can contribute to peace.

25 Years of ICTY and Facing the Past in Serbia and the Region

Author(s): Sonja Biserko / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2018

The article addresses the impact of the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on the region, with the main focus put on Serbia. Although the Tribunal established the facts about crimes committed – executioners were identified, some of the key political, military and police inciters and perpetrators have been put on trial and sentenced – Serbian society is still in deep denial. The ICTY was not equipped with mechanisms that would have made Serbia (and other countries in the region as well) duty-bound to deal with its legacies. Serbian elites were not able to refrain from Milošević’s project because they were largely par tof it as well. Instead, elites are engaged in discrediting the Tribunal’s legacy and revision of history of the recent past, including the 20th century. History is perceived only from the victim’s view point which blocks a serious debate about the past. Although new avenues have been opened to Serbia – towards accession to the EU – Serbian nationalism has not been defeated yet. Without objectified political and social context andwithout explaining the role Serbian elites have played, Serbia’s aspirations will be hampering regional development. The EU in its relations with Serbia should focus on a radical change of Serbia’s value system.

ACCESS TO INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE IN KOSOVO – LESSONS LEARNT

Author(s): Gamurari Loredana / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Since 1999, the accountability for human rights violations committed in Kosovo during and after the war was addressed by ICTY, UNMIK and EULEX. However, a whole set of crimes committed in the aftermath of the war were not properly addressed. The research aims to understand whether international judicial mechanisms intervening in Kosovo until today, successfully planted the seeds for the blooming of post-conflict justice. The paper adopts a qualitative approach, including analyses of cases, reports and interviews. The findings show that both international and local actors in many cases could not ensure justice for war crimes committed in the country, which brought to the conceiving of the Specialist Chambers, an extraterritorial court with no local personnel, but under Kosovo national legislation. The paper focuses on previous experiences to understand if the lessons have been learnt, showing the challenges that the new Specialist Chambers will have to overcome to bring justice.

Accommodating Social Justice into Transitional Justice Mechanisms. The Case of Northern Uganda

Author(s): Andreea Cristina Nowak / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

This article advances the idea that post-conflict societies encounter a twofold challenge in the transitional context; the first challenge is the past – how to heal the wounds, whilst the second challenge is to look forward and provide solutions for a sustainable future, where human rights are promoted and respected. I argue that the complex legal, political, economic and social situation in northern Uganda requires the reconciliation between past, present and future, by merging transitional justice (pastoriented) with economic and social justice (future-oriented), so as to meet the victims‘ needs and in the same time secure a stable transitional regime. The first section of the article will deal with the interplay between conflict and poverty in Uganda and the governmental measures taken in this regard. The following two sections will briefly examine the various transitional justice mechanisms employed here as well as the unfortunate situation relating to socio-economic rights. Based on the arguments advanced in the previous sections, the final part outlines some measures to accommodate economic and social rights within transitional justice mechanisms, suggesting that the later must be part of a broader set of policies for socioeconomic development and reconciliation.

Administrative Simplification The Case of Hungary

Author(s): Ádám Rixer / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

Simplification is a principle to be interpreted within quality legislation, which is important not only for the European countries, but it has been a priority also for the EU in the last decade. This paper tends to make a catalogue of the simplification measures taken by the government in Hungary in the last few years. It concentrates on rationalization programmes that expressively undertake simplification elements, e.g. the Magyary Zoltán Public Administrative Development Programme in 2010 and the ‘State Reform II’ programme in 2014. The paper – beyond a taxation of administrative fields involved within these simplification processes – introduces the most frequent methods and legal tools, as well. Moreover, it draws attention to those measures that were successful (integration, accessibility of administrative bodies) and that were not (e.g. linguistic simplification).

Alternativni modeli pravde – prakse pravde u zajednici

Author(s): / Language(s): Serbian / Publication Year: 2012

Mala čitanka za feministički diskusioni kružok „Alternativni modeli pravde – prakse pravde u zajednici” je napravljena radi vidljivosti nekih neinstitucionalnih pravnih praksi, kao i onih praksi koje su kreirale žene za žene. Iskustvo je pokazalo da institucionalni pravni sistem često nije na strani žrtava, da ne zadovoljava pravdu, niti na međunarodnom, a još ma nje na nacionalnom nivou. Zato ovim feminističkim diskusionim kružokom nastavljamo sa praksom upoznavanja sa međunarodnim iskustvima drugačijih modela pravde – narodni sudovi, inicijative aktivističkih organizacija, posebno ženske grupe i mreže. Istovremeno, cilj nam je da podstaknemo zajedničko stvaranja modela pravde u skladu sa potrebama žrtava/preživelih.

Analogia jako metoda prawnicza

Author(s): Marcin Hotel,Aleksandra Rychlewska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2015

Discussing analogy in law one usually thinks about using law on the base of analogy, particularly – inferring per analogiam about validity of one legal norm from the specific legal provision (analogia legis) or from the legal system as a whole (analogia iuris). However, this is not so much a separate method of law application but the method of its interpretation. It is interpretation sensu largo - legal inference based on the resemblance relationship, aiming at formulating, basing on the axiology of the legal system, major premise of the legal syllogism for the need of a case. It is distinguished from the interpretation sensu stricto by the result in the form of decision of interpretation, stemming not from the legal text – to one predicate are assigned designates, which are not in its scope of meaning. Because of the axiology, this decision will often turn out to be the right one. Bearing this in mind, this paper discusses the analogy as a separate legal method, which should be considered equal to the other methods of interpretation.
