EXCLUSION OF ILLEGALITY IN THE CRIME OF UNAUTHORIZED WIRETAPPING AND RECORDING

2025-12-10T09:32:09+01:00

The criminal act of unauthorized wiretapping and recording has long been an integral part of the corpus of criminal acts incriminated in domestic criminal legislation. Until now, due to its peculiarities, specifically the fact that for the basic forms of this crime proscribed under Article 143, paragraphs 1 and 2, prosecution is undertaken through private lawsuit, it has not occurred particularly often in practice. However, with the development of technology, the possibilities for the execution of this criminal offense increase significantly, since today every average citizen has the means, that is, the devices suitable for the execution of this criminal offense. For the stated reason, it is necessary to analyze in detail the individual elements of this criminal act, in order to avoid uneven interpretation and application in practice. In addition, it is necessary to set the limits of the criminal law with regard to this act, since the values that are protected by it in certain situations are not more important than the values that can be protected by violating them. For the stated reason, it is necessary to prescribe special conditions for the exclusion of illegality, the content of which the paper will try to propose.

The (in)sufficient procedural rights of the victim in criminal proceedings in Bosnia and Herzegovina (not) enable the fight against human trafficking

2025-12-10T09:32:10+01:00

Human trafficking is a crime against humanity motivated by acquisition of property benefits by torturing the victims. The victims or injured parties in criminal proceedings in Bosnia and Herzegovina have the right to Claim under Property Law, to be examined as a witness. The injured party is obliged to testify in criminal proceedings and has the right to free legal aid. The position of the victim in criminal proceedings is marginalized because, has no right to appeal against a negative prosecutor's decision, Cessation of Investigation. The subject of plea bargaining also should be confiscation of property gein. Confiscation of property gein is an effective measure in the fight against human trafficking because it can also be applied when there are procedural obstacles to the conduct of criminal proceedings. Confiscation of property gein should not be linked to the initiation of criminal proceedings, because the criminal procedure law does not define when the criminal procedure is considered initiated. The standard of proof for confiscation of gein is an obvious disproportion between assets and incomeis actually accused can not to prove that he legally acquired the property.

Non-pecuniary damages in the "missing babies" cases - law enforcement experiences

2025-12-10T09:32:10+01:00

The Act on Establishing the Facts about the Status of Newborn Children who are Suspected of Having Disappeared from the Maternity Hospitals in the Republic of Serbia was adopted in 2020. Colloquially known as the Missing Babies Act, it regulates the right of parents and relatives to fair monetary compensation for non-pecuniary damage in case of violation of their right to respect the family life. The paper presents the first analysis of the results of the implementation of this Act in regard of awarding non-pecuniary damages. Empirical research was conducted in the High Court in Novi Sad, the High Court in Belgrade, the High Court in Kragujevac and the High Court in Niš. Using the statistical and the random sample methods, the research analyses court cases involving request for compensation of non-pecuniary damages resulting from the infringement of one’s right to respect for family life in the “missing babies” cases. The paper examines the earlier judicial practice in similar factual cases, with special reference to the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Zorica Jovanović v. Serbia (appl.12794/08). Furthermore, using the normative and comparative law methods, the paper presents the analysis of non-pecuniary damages and its purpose. The paper aims to provide a theoretical and empirical analysis of the court judgments awarding of non-pecuniary damages in the “missing babies” cases for violation of the right to respect for family life. According to the research findings, parents’ decades-long struggle yielded a Pyrrhic victory in a form of monetary compensation for non-material damages but, in a vast majority of cases, there was no information regarding the actual fate of the missing children.

TEMPORARY AND CASUAL EMPLOYMENT AS FORMS OF FLEXIBLE EMPLOYMENT

2025-12-10T09:32:10+01:00

Temporary and casual employment is in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia one of the most significant form of flexible employment. Although it’s very significant, there are not many papers in our literature, which are dedicated exclusively to this type of flexible employment. However, given the fact that work flexibilization and flexible employment are extremely popular topics, there are many papers in which the issue of temporary and casual employment is mentioned within this topic. This paper is dedicated to the issue of how much this form of labor contributes to the flexibility of work, and where are the limits of work flexibilization, that is in which point the abuse of temporary and casual work begins, precisely flexploitation of the people who perform this work, as well as their legal position. The central part of the paper on the abuse of temporary and casual work will be perceived through the viewpoints of judicial practice, considering that, as it is previously mentioned above, there are not many papers in literature that are exclusively dedicated to this topic, and therefore not many viewpoints on the issue of abuse of the same, and judicial practice is, regarding this issue, numerous.

FIXED-TERM EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AND ITS ABUSES

2025-12-10T09:32:10+01:00

A fixed-term employment contract is a flexible form of employment that allows employers to respond to the temporary needs of the labor market. However, in practice this form of employment is often abused, which leads to employee insecurity and violation of labor rights. This paper analyzes the legal framework and purpose of fixed-term employment contracts and identifies the most common forms of abuse. In conclusion, recommendations are proposed for improving legislation and strengthening supervision over the implementation of fixed-term employment contracts in order to reduce abuses and improve the protection of workers' rights. The hypothesis is based on that the positive legal provisions have not clearly determined the situations in which a fixed-term employment relationship can be established, but it is necessary to determine precise and concrete circumstances that are characteristic of a certain activity and that can only exceptionally justify the absence of the need for a permanent employment of the employee, as well that insufficient capacities of labor inspection and other mechanisms to prevent abuse of fixed-term employment contract, facilitate the violation of regulations in this area of labor law in the Republic of Serbia, by employers, as the stronger party in the employment relationship.

Примарну улогу у пружању релевантне правне заштите животне средине и климе, има национални судски систем, а Европски суд за људска права има супсидијарну улогу и поступа тек по представкама за повреду других људских права. Европска конвенција за заштиту људских права и основних слобода и њени додатни протоколи, не регулишу директно право на здраву животну средину као такво, ипак штите интерес за очување животне средине и климе штитећи друга људска права. Наиме, претежно се повреда овог права преиспитује кроз повреду права на живот у здравој животној средини, повреду права на приватан живот, права на имовину и права на информисање. Државе су дужне да поштују, штите, унапређују и испуњавају сва људска права за све људе. Ово укључује афирмативну обавезу да се спрече предвидиве штете, укључујући и ону изазвану климатским променама.

Поље судских спорова о климатским променама се временом обогатило и наметнуло је потребу да носиоци правосудних функција и учесници у таквим судским споровима, постану свесни последица климатских промена, као и последица које носе одлуке у тим споровима. Поред тога што је унапређен значај климатских парница и еколошких парница уопште, како пред домаћим судовима, тако и пред Европским судом за људска права и Судом правде Европске уније, бројни случајеви су добили и шири међународни одјек и остварили своју амбицију за добијањем одговора о утицају климатских промена на основна људска права, па су тако, надаље, инспирисали покретање оваквих поступака широм света.

У развоју међународног еколошког права временом су уставновљени принципи који указују на карактеристике те области права и његових института, а то су принцип превентивне акције, принцип предострожности, принцип "плаћа загађивач", принцип одрживог развоја, принцип међугенерацијске једнакости и принцип обавезе сарадње.

Неупитни значај еколошког права је препознат на међународном нивоу и, иако ово право није именовано као људско право у Европској конвенцији за заштиту људских права и основних слобода, ни у њеним протоколима, њему је такав значај признат кроз растући тренд еколошких и климатских парница, као и све богатију судску праксу у овој области
