THE ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM OF NATURE PROTECTION LAW ENFORCEMENT

The Role of the Nature Protection Service in Nature Conservation in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: There are several groups of questions that make up the subject of this critical and expert analysis of the problems of the organizational system of law enforcement regarding nature protection - the role of the nature protection service in nature protection in Hungary. Special attention is paid to the reasons for the need for environmental protection and the presentation of key laws and bylaws that regulate the protection of the natural environment in Hungary. In addition, there are questions about the role of the nature protection service as a special organizational law enforcement unit in Hungary, primarily: Organizational systems of the nature protection service and its functions and duties; Means for their functioning; Requirements that must be met by members of the service; The principles of its functioning - first of all, the principles of necessity and proportionality; Measures that the nature protection guard can take - their numerous powers for achieving the desired level of environmental protection, etc. The key result of the analysis of the issue in question is that, although nature protection transcends national borders, this in no way means that states do not have a clear duty to protect exceptional natural goods on their territory. On the contrary, this protection is a societal obligation. The state’s obligation of institutional protection manifests in the creation of a legal order and an institutional framework that can provide adequate protection. One of the ways to achieve the desired degree of nature protection, when it comes to Hungary, is introducing special services within the police force that are in charge of law enforcement with a specific system of tasks – rights and obligations.
