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.

Author(s): Piotr Jachowicz / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2014

The subject of this study is the evolution of British public policy between 1900 and 2010 with to the special focus on budgetary, monetary and social policy, as well as policy towards the public sector. This period was characterized by a steady, yet non-linear rise in economic and social activity of the state. Sudden increases were caused by one of three categories of events: wars, economic crises and changes at the highest levels of government. As a result, the history of British public policy in between 1900 and 2010 is divided into the following stages: 1) 1900-1931 - decline of the liberal era; 2) 1931-1951 - steady increase in the state's economic activity; 3) 1951-1979 - systemic stabilization at a high level of state involvement in economic and social issues; 4) 1997-2007 - attempt to return to economic liberalism; 5) 2007-2010 - a period of volatility and the search for new public policy principles.

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.

A stinking business. Environmental issues, protests and big money in the waste business in Russia

Author(s): Jadwiga Rogoza / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

In recent months, Moscow oblast has seen a series of social protests against environmental problems caused by municipal waste landfills. The waste disposal sites are overloaded, lack adequate safeguards, emit toxic gases and contaminate the groundwater with harmful effluent. The situation is most severe in Moscow oblast because the capital city generates the largest volumes of waste; however, the problem itself extends beyond environmental concerns into the economic and social spheres. Waste management in Russia is marked by notorious overloading of legal waste disposal sites and the emergence of illegal waste dumps, inadequate waste disposal practices leading to air pollution and groundwater contamination which affect local residents, and bad practices by businesses with links to President Vladimir Putin which have monopolised the waste collection sector.

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

ACTIVITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA (1993–2017). AN ASSESSMENT

Author(s): Krzysztof Zarna / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2018

Celem artykułu jest przeprowadzenie analizy działalności Międzynarodowego Trybunału Karnego dla Byłej Jugosławii (ICTY). Autor starał się odpowiedzieć na pytania: jakie cele przyświecały utworzeniu Trybunału; z jakimi trudnościami borykali się prokuratorzy; czy w rzeczywistości był on odzwierciedleniem sprawiedliwości międzynarodowej; czy ICTY miał wpływ na stosunki międzynarodowe? Przeanalizowano cztery procesy: Slobodana Miloševicia, Ante Gotoviny, Radislava Krsticia i Ratko Mladicia. Artykuł opiera się na następujących założeniach: po pierwsze, powołanie ICTY w pewnym stopniu przyczyniło się do zakończenia konfliktu w byłej Jugosławii. Po drugie, działalność Trybunału była jednym z czynników determinujących powstanie Międzynarodowego Trybunału Karnego. Po trzecie, samo postawienie przed wymiarem sprawiedliwości osób oskarżanych o najcięższe naruszenia praw człowieka było sukcesem. Po czwarte, wyroki ICTY wpłynęły na eskalację stosunków chorwacko-serbskich z jednej i na przyspieszenie akcesji Republiki Chorwacji do Unii Europejskiej z drugiej strony. W artykule posłużono się szeregiem metod badawczych charakterystycznych dla nauk o polityce: analizą instytucjonalno-prawną, która pozwoliła na przeanalizowanie działalności ICTY. Analiza systemowa znalazła zastosowanie w wyjaśnieniu roli ICTY w systemie międzynarodowego sadownictwa karnego. Dzięki analizie treści przeanalizowano postępowania procesowe przed Trybunałem. Studium przypadku posłużyło do analizy poszczególnych procesów. Metoda analizy decyzyjnej pozwoliła na przeanalizowanie procesów podejmowania decyzji w ramach działalności ICTY.

Administracja szkolnictwa powszechnego i średniego w II Rzeczypospolitej

Author(s): Wieslaw Siecinski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 10/2018

After Poland had regained its independence in 1918 the social interests in education and upbringing started to grow significantly. The school systems inhereted from the states during the times of partioned Poland needed to be unified in the whole country. The general opinion was that some basic legislative acts are required in the newly independent Republic of Poland to eliminate the differences between the regions and to provide a cohesive and uniform organisation of schools and education in the whole country. The Minister of Religious Confessions and Public Education was in charge of the educational administration. In order to be able to supervise the educational administration the country was divided into ten school provinces supervised by province superintendents. The school provinces were divided into districts adminstrated by district superintendents. All the school systems inhereted from the time of the partioned Poland were unified by a legislative act of 1932. According to the reform implemented there were primary schools, secondary schools and higher schools. In terms of financing education the schools were public and private. The base was the seven-year primary education. However, to be able to classify the schools of that time according to the new organisational model it was necessary to implement a threestage structure of primary schools. The schools were divided into three stages teaching the following curriculums: − primary curriculum (classes I – IV), − higher curriculum (classes I – VI), − complete curriculum (7 classes).The reform of the secondary education introduced middle schools lasting four years and upper-secondary schools lasting two years. A prerequisite for pupils to be admitted to middle schools was a successful completion of the six-year primary school (and passing an examination). After completing a middle school and passing an entrance examination pupils were entitled to continue the education at secondary schools. The completion of the secondary education entitled them to take the Matura examination and then to apply for a place at a higher school. The Law of 1932 also enabled to organise vocational schools under similar terms.

Administracyjne warunki formalnoprawne podejmowania działalności gospodarczej i zawodowej w zakresie świadczenia usług turystycznych

Author(s): Jacek Z. Szwaja / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2011

The article discusses the administrative formal and legal conditions (administrative procedures) required when starting a business in order to offer services in the tourism industry. The formal and legal administrative conditions are not uniform in this respect, which can be attributed to both the lack of a common legal basis specifying the conditions for providing particular types of services in tourism, as well as to differences in the procedure of undertaking business activity. The formal and legal conditions have been specified by regulations in the Act of 2 July 2004 about the freedom of business activity and in the Act of 29 August 1997 about services in the tourism industry. Assuming the criterion of the legal basis as the foundation of the division, the article discusses four different legal situations, which can occur under the current legal condition that applies to undertaking business activity in providing services for tourism. In relation to the required administrative procedure three types of business activity have been specified: activity which does not require an administrative decision, activity which can be commenced after issuing an administrative decision and activity which can be undertaken on conditions other than those mentioned above.

Administrative Judiciary in the European Doctrine of Administrative Law at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries

Author(s): Grzegorz Smyk / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

One of the fundamental assumptions of a constitutional and lawful state was recognizing the existence of an inviolable sphere of rights and freedom of individuals that restricted the freedom of administrative action. The guarantee for the protection of the sphere was seen in the statutory defining of the boundaries of the workings of the state apparatus and in the possibility of the external audit of the legality of the public administration. The duty was supposed to be fulfilled mainly by administrative judiciary which was considered to be one of the most significant institutions of administrative law in the 19th-century theory and practice. The term “administrative judiciary” was understood as the settlement of complaints against unlawful administrative decisions implemented by way of contentious proceeding before the authorities of the Member State. Such understanding of administrative judiciary did not decide upon the necessity for separating individual authorities, independent of Common Courts, that were established for administrative disputes resolution. It also did not define the material scope of its characteristics. Those issues were of special interest to the European Administrative Sciences, especially in the second half of the 19th century.

Afirmativna akcija – kvote za pripadnike manje zastupljenog pola u izbornom pravu Srbije

Author(s): Miroslav Ðordevic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 34/2018

Serbian Law on the election of MPs was amended in 2011 with the introduction of gender quotas that serve to ensure that at least one third of MPs are women. However, the necessity of such affirmative measures can be disputed. The number of female MPs, as well as women holding other positions of power, has been rapidly growing over the past couple of decades without any special treatment and that tendency seems to persist. The present percentage of women in parliament reached 36, 8%, which is fairly high compared to the most other countries. It is also higher than the quota requirements. Also, statistics show that there is no gender discrimination concerning access to high education and that women surpass men when highly qualified occupations are in question. However, there are still aspects of the right to work in which discrimination is possibly taking place and that is something what should be the focus of future fight for gender equality. Electoral gender quota system is not only practically redundant, but its constitutionality is also in question. The author analyses the gender quota system from the theoretical perspective, confronting it with the idea of the parliament as the representative of the political will of the people. Although Serbian Constitution allows measures of affirmative action to be introduced, it also sets the requirements for such action. In this paper the fulfillment of those requirements is analyzed, leading to conclusion that the constitutionality and the reason itself of such quota system in today’s Serbia is doubtful. The goals of removing gender discrimination in this area are met not due to affirmative measures, but the will and success of women themselves. Author also briefly shows the historical development of today’s gender relations, concerning voting rights, gives comparative context and tries to point out the directions where the fight against gender discrimination should be taken next.

Aktualna reforma penzijskog sistema u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine: šta donosi novi Zakon o penzijskom i invalidskom osiguranju?

Author(s): Specified No Author / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 33/2018

The application of the earlier Pension and Disability Insurance Act caused constant losses that resulted in a high deficit in the Pension and Disability Insurance Institute. This finally raised serious questions about the pension system solvency in FB&H, pension adequacy and regular pension payments. In addition, bad economic and demographic situation, decline in working-age population, emigration of the young working class population etc. are just some of the reasons that also indicated the need for pension system reform in FB&H. This paper deals with the current reform of the pension system in FB&H through the analysis of the recently adopted Pension and Disability Insurance Act and the novelties introduced by it. Special emphasis is given to the provisions containing the elements of unlawful discrimination as well as unconstitutionality. As such, these provisions are contrary to the European and regional trends, the international conventions and to the Constitution of FB&H. As an obvious example of unlawful discrimination the paper particularly stresses the provision denying unmarried partners’ access to the survivor's pension. Also, the provision suspending the pension payments to one group of pensioners represents a violation of the right to property guaranteed by the FB&H Constitution and as such could be used as the basis for initiating a procedure for assessing its constitutionality. The analysis of the disputed provisions of the Pension and Disability Insurance Act points to their discriminatory and unconstitutional character and to the need for their amendment in order for FB&H to follow the European path and comply with the constitutionally accepted obligations with regard to the international conventions.
