"Przestępstwa bez ofiar" w świetle polskiej Konstytucji oraz orzecznictwa Trybunału Konstytucyjnego

Author(s): Michał Szymański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The term “victimless crimes” is one of the leading concepts of American criminology, also used by libertarian circles. It assumes that acts that do not cause harm to the other person (or are made with his consent) should be legal. This theory has also found a resonance in American constitutionalism, whereas in Polish science of constitutional law this concept is virtually unknown. The case law of the Constitutional Tribunal is also more conservative and paternalistic than libertarian. The Tribunal did not consider unconstitutional provisions to drive a car with fastened seatbelts. Possession of marijuana for own use also, in the Court’s opinion, may also be prohibited by Polish law and the justifi cation used typical conservative arguments. The Polish Constitution also protects public morality, which is in direct contradiction to libertarianism. The author of the concept, Edwin Schur, also considered abortion as “victimless crime”. The Constitutional Tribunal has an extremely diff erent position, recognizing the need to protect unborn life. The axiology of the Polish Constitution is closer to the same spirit of Christian democracy than to extreme liberalism.

(Ne)zaštićenost trećih osoba ugovorima o osiguranju od autoodgovornosti u Bosni i Hercegovini

Under the Motor Vehicle Damage Liability Insurance Contract, a legal relationship is established between the insurer and the insured. However, if in the traffic accident the damage is caused to a third person, that person is entitled to compensation directly to the insurer of the motor vehicle liability insurance contract between the insurer and the owner of the vehicle engine, but not according to the basis of this contract, but according to the basis of the law itself. For this this kind of insurance we call extracontractual or legal insurance. The circle of third persons, the people who have the right to compensation by motor vehicle use in the movement, does not have the same magnitude in all countries. There are many factors that influence the width of the circle of third persons (the level of economic and civilizational development, the material possibility of certain countries, etc.). The development of insurance law up to now shows the trend of expanding the protection of the damaged, as well as an ever smaller number of people and victims of traffic accidents who are left out of the law for compensation.

Thus, incentives are made more attractive and also their acquisition circumstances and application conditions are made easier. TMS 20 is the accounting standard applied in accounting for, and in the disclosure of government incentives. It is indicated within TMS 20 that receiving manner of the incentive would not affect its accounting method. It is stated that incentives received either in cash or as a reduction of a liability to the government would be accounted for in the same manner.

A külhoni magyarok nyelvi diszkriminációja az Unióban

Az EU közszolgálati törvényszékének ítélete a román bővítéssel összefüggésben szervezett versenyvizottságról

Author(s): Petra Lea Láncos / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2016

The present article gives a critical account of the European General Court's judgment in the B.A. vs. Commission case. B.A., a Hungarian and Romanian dual citizen sought the annulment of the decision of European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) which denied her the right to sit for the competition in her native language, Hungarian and refused to admit her to the oral test after she failed the test in Romanian. B.A. claimed that she had been afforded unequal treatment, since the fact that she was precluded from writing the test in Hungarian “placed her, on an objective view, at a disadvantage compared with her fellow citizens who had received their school and university education in Romanian.” The case and the arguments put forward by the parties provide a clear insight into the ambiguities surrounding the EU language regime as well as the difficulties faced by minorities whose mother tongue is both an official language of the EU and a minority language with no official recognition in the Member State in which it is spoken.

A Neglected Standard in Bosnia and Herzegovina: The Proactive Dimension of the Right to Access Information

Author(s): Nermina Voloder / Language(s): English

The legal framework on the right to access information in Bosnia and Herzegovina does not contain an established duty of public institutions to voluntarily disclose information in their possession relevant to the public, even without a specific request. Such a legal framework deviates significantly from recent international standards in this area, which stipulate that public institutions must not only reply to individual requests, but that they should proactively disclose certain categories of information in the public interest. The concept of proactive transparency is not adequately regulated in such a legal framework, which is reflected, among other things, in the fragmentation and only partial regulation of the duty of proactive disclosure of information in the public interest, as well as in the lack of legal protection of information users. An analysis of regulations relevant to the proactive segment of the right of access to information indicates the necessity of establishing in law minimal standards relating to the content and quality of the publication of information in the public interest.

Author(s): Harsh Pathak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper is based on importance of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) and UNESCO convention, as guiding principle for the state to frame appropriate legislation, regulations and administrative actions to conserve underwater cultural heritage.

A REFLECTION ON THE CITIZENS’ ATTITUDES TO THE POLITICAL SITUATION (AND THEIR CREATIVE RENDITIONS) In Memoriam of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová

Author(s): Katarína Fichnová,Lukasz Pawel Wojciechowski,Peter Szabo / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The primary aim of the article is to identify the degree of creativity in the expressive means employed by citizens showing their attitudes to the current political situation. Other aims of the text include the identification of rhetorical, linguistic and stylistic resources and explicit and implicit inspirations related to art present in the recorded messages. The authors address three research questions arising from the above-mentioned aims. The research material consists of photographs of 203 different messages in the form of banners, scale models, models, ready-made, objet trouvé, performances and other textual and/or visual representations displayed during the protest held on 16th March 2018 on the SNP Square in Bratislava, which was held after the brutal murder of Slovak investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová. The authors use a modified method of content and image analysis and product creativity evaluation. The data is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively, i.e. via triangulation approach. In the concluding part of the study, the authors discuss the available options in connection with the use of banners and other messages as a means of self-expression and manifestation of commitment, political activism and civic engagement. The most creative messages have the greatest potential to be multiplied through social networks and thus transmit the intended message in a more efficient way.

Military career requires a beginning and an end. In military, the phrase used in the administrative act, which completes an entire career, is "switching in reserve", and for police officers the expression "ending of service relations" is used. There are no significant differences between the two operations, even the legislator wants to distinguish between the two professional categories, the military and police officers or civil servants with special status, but the way which they are entitled to the pension is laid down in a single normative act , respectively Law no. 223 of July 24, 2015

Access to the Market and the Transparency as Principles of Public Procurement in the Legal Environment of the EU Neighbourhood Policy

Author(s): Ondrej Blažo,Hana Kováčiková / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

The authors confront complexness and rigour of EU directives on public procurement vis-à-vis broad wording of international agreements concluded within EU neighbourhood policy. The firs reason for this comparison is ongoing spread of principles of the EU law to the third countries. The second reason is that both rely on the same goals: access to market ad fair environment via transparency because these principles constitute a subtle legal basis for public procurement legislation at all. Finally, these approaches were compared to the approaches employed in recent FTAs – CETA and EUSFTA.
