The Collection of scientific contributions nationwide interdisciplinary scientific conference with international participation

The text book of scientific contributions The value direction of criminal law is the output of a nationwide interdisciplinary scientific conference with international participation organized by the Department of Criminal Law of the Faculty of Law of the UPJŠ in Košice. The proceedings contain contributions focused on issues of the value direction of criminal law, both in the field of substantive and procedural law.

This is a highly topical issue, as the values of law as such are reflected in each of its areas. In view of social events, the constant amendment of the criminal codes and, in particular, the forthcoming amendment of both the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, we consider the topic of the conference and the title of the text book to be highly topical, without significant limits in scientific research.

In their contributions, the participants of the national interdisciplinary scientific conference with international participation also devoted themselves to reflections de lege ferenda and offer insights into the above-mentioned amendments to the criminal codes into practice as well as their upcoming amendments.

The aim of the published proceedings is to continue to improve and develop new knowledge in the field of criminal law in the light of the new rules, while adhering to all established values, on the basis of the previous professional knowledge.

Od 1. januára 1969 nadobúdali účinnosť Ústavný zákon o postavení národností v Československej socialistickej republike (ČSSR) i Ústavný zákon o federácii. Ústavný zákon o postavení národností predstavoval aspoň formálne veľký posun v právnej úprave postavenia menšín. Tento zákon však mal byť základom pre ďalšiu právnu úpravu. Deklarovalo sa, že budú nasledovať ďalšie kroky a rokovania o prijatí vykonávacích noriem a že budú na federálnej i národných úrovniach prijaté ďalšie zákony. V Československu však nebol nikdy vydaný žiadny ďalší zákon alebo vládne nariadenie týkajúce sa ústavného zákona o postavení národností v ČSSR. V období normalizácie1 sa otázky týkajúce sa ďalšej legislatívy týkajúcej sa národnostných menšín neotvárali, ale v krátkom období po prijatí ústavného zákona v roku 1968 do konca roka 1969 sa niektoré inštitúcie pokúšali takéto zákonné normy pripraviť a presadiť. Jednou z nich bola aj Rada vlády SSR pre národnosti (ďalej Rada alebo Rada vlády pre národnosti). Monografia prináša pohľad na problematiku rozpracovania ďalších zákonných noriem vyplývajúcich z ústavného zákona o postavení národností v Slovenskej socialistickej republike Radou vlády SSR pre národnosti, ktorá bola jednou z inštitúcií, ktoré sa na Slovensku vytvorili po vzniku československej federácie a zaoberali sa národnostnou problematikou

Vpráci zameranej na rozpracovanie ďalších zákonných noriem vyplývajúcich z ústavného zákona o postavení národností v ČSSR bolo potrebné venovať sa aj predchádzajúcemu vývoju, preto sa prvá časť monografie zaoberá postavením menšín v Československu pred prijatím ústavného zákona, aktivitám národností predchádzajúcim prijatiu ústavného zákona o postavení národností a samotnému prijatiu zákona. V ďalších častiach sa už monografia venuje inštitucionálnym zmenám v SSR po vzniku federácie, vzniku Rady vlády SSR pre národnosti a jednotlivým krokom Rady a jej odborných orgánov pri príprave návrhov zákonov o postavení národností v Slovenskej socialistickej republike.
Motiváciou pre napísanie tejto monografie bola skutočnosť, že na Slovensku sa doteraz tejto problematike venovala pozornosť len v niekoľkých štúdiách, ktoré sa zaoberali maďarskou menšinou a obdobím pražskej jari alebo maďarskou menšinou v období normalizácie.

The proceedings offers contributions from the international scientific conference of doctoral students and young researchers held on 25 April 2024 at the Faculty of Law, UPJŠ in Košice, which was thematically oriented on Innovative Law and Innovations in Law. The authors of the papers confirmed that innovation in law can take many forms. The first part of the papers, which pays attention to how law can respond to innovations, is a manifestation of this. These are the papers by Jana Cihanová, Andrej Oriňák, Denisa Rudžiková and Matej Biroš, who presented the use of deepfake technology, artificial intelligence and software tools in legal practice in the context of their legal regulation. Looking at familiar things differently can also be a source of innovation. In this vein, Dominik Mizerski, Juraj Valentovič, Lucián Török and Kateřina Hrabánková presented interpretive and application innovations in the field of private law. The third part of the papers by Michaela Szittyaiová, Natália Priateľová, Filip Baláži, Elena Lazoríková and Laura Gazdagová offers a preview of the innovations that the public law section is facing today. Finally, the fourth and last group of papers specifically explains innovations against the background of criminal law regulation. These are contributions by Michal Novák, Miroslav Srholec, Vladimír Petrila and Martina Makaturová. The variety of topics covered in this proceedings shows that each area of legal regulation can be characterised by specific innovations and, in this context, by the dynamics with which they permeate legal regulation.

Methodological guide for teachers for classroom lessons and civics Teaching law experientially? Is it even possible? The answers to these questions are provided by a methodological guide that uniquely links experiential learning methods with legal content. This methodological guide is a set of techniques based on the use of interactive and participatory learning methods, focusing on selected human rights and value-oriented topics, which also have the potential to develop other key competences of students, such as their communication skills, their ability to learn and educate independently, their ability to think critically, their ability to work with and analyse texts, their ability to discuss and express their opinions, and their ability to listen to each other. The methodological guide consists of a set of training activities - techniques, while each technique contains a precise description of the procedure for conducting a specific activity, the expected duration of the activity, aids, discussion topics and also a short pedagogical and legal commentary, precisely "tailored" to the specific legal topic. The legal topics are chosen to be generally applicable to both classroom and civics lessons, to raise questions about the functioning of rules and the need to respect them, mutual respect and tolerance, and to encourage reflection on the limits of individual rights and on responsibility in exercising one's rights. The techniques use training methods such as group work, brainstorming, role-playing, dealing with model situations, as well as a simulated court process. The methodological guide is intended for classroom teachers in the implementation of classroom lessons, and also for the purposes of the subject of civics, as well as for students of pedagogy at the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.

Predkladaná monografia „Regionalizmus a jeho prínos pre všeobecné medzinárodné právo“ bola spracovaná na Ústave európskeho práva a oddelení medzinárodného práva Právnickej fakulty UPJŠ v Košiciach v rámci rovnomenného projektu (APVV-0823-11) uskutočneného v rokoch 2011 – 2015 a predstavuje jeden z jeho finálnych publikačných výstupov. Hlavným dôvodom výberu témy bola snaha o hodnotenie regionalizmu v jeho rôznych podobách vo vzťahu k medzinárodnému právu a na druhej strane hodnotenie miesta, významu a úlohy medzinárodného práva na vzniku a fungovaní rôznych foriem regionálnych zoskupení. Je totiž skutočnosťou, že hoci je regionalizmu venovaná čoraz väčšia pozornosť doktríny, komplexnejšie posúdenie jeho vplyvu na medzinárodné právo a vice versa v nej doteraz absentuje. Túto medzeru sa pokúša čiastočne odstrániť predkladaná monografia. Na pozadí stručného historického vývoja regionalizmu, ako aj jeho obsahovej a terminologickej zložky sa v monografii podrobnejšie skúmajú jednotlivé druhy regionalizmu v podobe starého a nového regionalizmu, ako aj zmluvného a inštitucionálneho regionalizmu, ďalej ich osobitosti, ako aj prínos k všeobecnému medzinárodnému právu. Pozornosť sa tiež venuje špecifickému fenoménu súčasného regionalizmu, a to vplyvu Európskej únie na jeho stabilizáciu a rozvoj ako faktickými opatreniami, tak aj sústavou opatrení upravených medzinárodnými zmluvami. Jedná sa o zmluvy uzavierané Európskou úniou na strane jednej s medzinárodnými organizáciami, skupinami štátov či jednotlivými štátmi na strane druhej. V tejto súvislosti sa analyzuje problematika interregionalizmu, resp. zmluvného interregionalizmu v rámci jeho špecifík a prínosu k všeobecnému medzinárodnému právu. Vzhľadom na svoju závažnosť je osobitná kapitola monografie venovaná pôsobeniu a vplyvu koncepcie rule of law v kontexte súčasného regionalizmu pri zohľadnení jej osobitostí v rôznych modeloch regionálnych zoskupení v rôznych častiach sveta. Nasledujúce kapitoly monografie sa venujú kodifikácii medzinárodného práva, ktorú si vynútila nutnosť jednotnej úpravy vzťahov, do ktorých vstupujú regionálne organizácie v súčasnom období, ako aj posúdeniu možného vplyvu pravotvornej činnosti a aplikácie pravidiel medzinárodného práva regionálnymi organizáciami v kontexte tzv. fragmentácie medzinárodného práva. Autori sa domnievajú, že sa im v zásade podarilo identifikovať hlavné styčné oblasti súčasného regionalizmu a medzinárodného práva, ich vzájomný vplyv, ako aj prínos rôznych foriem regionalizmu k všeobecnému medzinárodnému právu. Vzhľadom na to, že v prípade regionalizmu sa jedná o dynamicky sa rozvíjajúci segment súčasných globalizovaných medzinárodných vzťahov, ako aj medzinárodného práva, monografia zachytáva len súčasný stav jeho vzťahov k medzinárodnému právu a analýza ich vzájomných vzťahov v budúcom období sa preto javí nielen ako vhodná, tak aj žiadúca.

The electronic platform of the conference via online discussion was realized from 3rd to 17th April 2020. The protective function of law, preventive obligations, but also the emerging responsibilities are a vast source of ideas for scientific research, asking questions and finding answers to a range of theoretical and application-law problems in every area of public and private law. Evidence of a generously understood topic is the presented proceedings of scientific papers.

The proceedings, created within the solution of the grant task APVV-16-0002 -Mental Health in the Workplace and Employee Health Assessment, includes various aspects of legal regulation, from academic authors and authors from legal practice.

Hypothesis, disposition, sanction. The standard tripartite structure of a legal norm, which is taught to first-year law students. Three concepts that students undoubtedly master from their perspective, yet they simultaneously challenge legal science, which repeatedly revisits them. The publication does not aim to theoretically address all aspects of the legal norm; it focuses solely on one of them, and as the title suggests, that is the sanction.

The monograph has been developed by three authors, whose contributions are equal; they engaged in debates and often could not reach a consensus. We hope that the reader will also join this debate and that the presented monograph will inspire further reflection and scientific activity.

Reviewed proceedings of scientific papers of Conference of Slovak and Czech law romanists, which take place at May, 10.-11.5.2018, at Faculty of Law, UPJŠ in Košice.

The submitted reviewed proceeding of scientific papers on „The loan or usury? Compulsory enforcement of roman - law basics and problems of application practice.”  is prepared within the solution of the grant project VEGA on: „The loan or usury? Compulsory enforcement of historical - law basics and problems of application practice.”, no. p. 1/0198/17.

The authors of papers are important personalities of Roman law working in the Slovak and Czech Republic, as well as PhD students and young scientists from Slovak and foreign universities who are active in the academic environment as well as in legal practice. The main goal of the editors is to help improve the current legal situation, which is assessed as unsatisfactory, and through a historical excursion of the development of the loan institute and then the forced execution of the decision, to create de lege ferenda proposals considering all areas of research.

The Proceedings trace the interrelationships between the substantive law institute in terms of the Roman law of contractus unilaterales - mutuum in its various types, often realized by the attachment of high interest rates, which bordered on the insurrection and the procedural law of individual lawsuits enforced in the legislative, formular and cognitive process. If there was no possibility to impose certain behaviour on the obligated person (the debtor, the sentenced person), then the declared general obligation to enforce the legal norms was only a legal term. It has always been the case that every internally well-organized state, whether antique or present, has to use power tools - often with the use of gross violence - but within the limits of the law, to promote what it has declared valid law. It must protect creditors on the one hand, but it must also prevent self-help and the use of illegal, unjustified and disproportionate violence.

The loan contract as a real contract has often become an integral part and relatively the most frequent reason leading to the compulsory enforcement, especially when contracting parties often agree on the connection of interest - sometimes within the legal limit, sometimes exceeding the legal framework - and in this way the potential future creditor (the plaintiff) significantly increased the insolvency risk of the debtor (the defendant, the sentenced) and of the subsequent execution. The pronounced and deepening social stratification of the Roman population and the secondary depreciation effort, the cancellation of the debts of the poor part of the population logically culminated in social unrest and revolt against the enforcement of the enforcement law.

The proceedings capture not only the rich scientific discussion of Slovak and Czech legal Romanists, but also the opinions, experience and knowledge of experts on contemporary law dealing with this type of issues. As a result, it provides a unique interdisciplinary view of the subject and raises many stimulus points for future research. This work proves that the problems encountered by the various representatives of the Roman jurisprudence and their legal and theoretical bases and solutions are undoubtedly useful and serve as a guideline also for solving legal issues in the field of modern enforcement proceedings.

The presented monograph is dedicated to the reforms of local administration in the middle of the 19th century, which led to the introduction of municipalism - the nationalization of local administration. The work is primarily devoted to the analysis of the differences between legal articles 42/1870 and 21/1884, the second of which has so far been considered by Slovak legal historians as an amendment. I will explain the differences in the text of both standards, as well as by pointing out the practice of applying both standards in local practice in Abov and Turňa, the legal article 21/1884 is applicable, it is recoded and after the thresholds of the Czechoslovakia it was received as an obligation of the local sparva in Slovakia and is valid even in the time of Conclusion The Trianon peace treaty.

Zborník príspevkov z medzinárodnej vedeckej konferencie konanej 29. – 30. mája 2014 na pôde Právnickej fakulty Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach.

V prvom polroku tohto roka sa v Košiciach uskutočnila vedecká konferencia 10 rokov v EÚ: Vzťahy, otázky problémy, príspevky z ktorej tvoria obsah predkladaného rovnomenného zborníka. Zámerom jej organizátorov, t.j. Slovenskej asociácie európskeho práva, Zastúpenia Európskej komisie v Slovenskej republike a Ústavu európskeho a oddelenia medzinárodného práva Právnickej fakulty UPJŠ bolo nielen (čo aj voľne) nadviazať na predošlú konferenciu z r. 2009 Komunitárne právo na Slovensku - päť rokov „po“, ale po piatich rokoch pokračovať v jej hlavnom zámere, t.j. poskytnúť účastníkom ako akademickej, tak aj mimoakademickej obce priestor na ďalšiu analýzu a výmenu názorov na právne problémy späté s členstvom Slovenskej republiky v Európskej únii a viacerými aktuálnymi problémami právneho poriadku Únie. Z naznačeného hľadiska však možno zaznamenať posun v celkovom zameraní príspevkov na konferencii v r. 2009 a 2014. Zatiaľ čo príspevky z prvej konferencie sa sústreďovali predovšetkým na rôzne aspekty pôsobenia unijného práva v slovenskom právnom poriadku a na aplikačné problémy s tým spojené predovšetkým pred súdnymi a inými orgánmi, základné zameranie príspevkov z druhej konferencie je už odlišné. Aj predkladaný zborník potvrdzuje zameranie príspevkov predovšetkým na aktuálne problémy európskeho právneho poriadku a tiež na niektoré aspekty vonkajšej politiky Únie, pričom vzťahom unijného práva k slovenskému právnemu poriadku už nie je venovaná prvoradá pozornosť. Viaceré príspevky sa zameriavajú na oblasti charakteristické určitým prienikom či „kohabitáciou“ unijného práva s medzinárodným právom verejným, medzinárodným právom súkromným, prípadne medzinárodnými vzťahmi v širšom slova zmysle.
