  • The Right of Persons Employed in Polish Public Services to Association in Trade Unions
    Studia z Zakresu Prawa Pracy i Polityki Społecznej Studies on Labour Law and Social Policy 2020, 27, nr 1: 23–27 doi:10.4467/25444654SPP.20.003.11719 www.ejournals.eu/sppips Krzysztof Baran https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5165-8265 Jagiellonian University THE RIGHT OF PERSONS EMPLOYED IN POLISH PUBLIC SERVICES TO ASSOCIATION IN TRADE UNIONS Abstract The article aims at presenting the reconsidered model of association of public servants under the Polish legal system. In the past, there was a statutory imposed limiting monism in the trade union movement of military services officers. Since 2019 trade union pluralism has been introduced for the Police, Border Guard, and Prison Service officers, which is analyzed in the paper. Another issue discussed in this article is the right of association of persons employed in civil public administration. Słowa kluczowe: związek zawodowy, służby mundurowe, straż graniczna, policja, służba więzienna Keywords: trade union, public services, Border Guard, Police, Prison Service ASJC: 3308, JEL: K31 On 19 July 2019, the Parliament of the Republic of Poland adopted the Act extending the right of officers of the Police, Border Guard and Prison Services to form and join trade unions (Dz.U. 2019, item 1608). The newly adopted regulation is an inspiration to recon- sider the model of association of public servants under the Polish legal system. The term “public servants” or “those employed in public services” refers not only to those employed in widely understood public administration, but also those serving in military services. The starting point for further discussion will be the statement that persons who are employed in Polish public service structures perform work under various legal regimes, starting from labour law, through civil law to administrative law.

The conference Identification of victims and criminals – why we do not notice them on 30–31 May 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia formed the conclusion of a Nordic-Baltic-Northwest Russian cooperation project. Around 80 participants attended the two-day conference to discuss ways of identifying victims and criminals and to find answer to the question of why we do not notice victims or criminals, even though we now have available to us facts, figures, research and knowledge about human trafficking as a part of international organized crime.

Since becoming a sovereign state 61 years ago, Indonesia is still facing a series of territorial border problems. Up until today, Indonesia has reached agreements with its neighbouring countries related to demarcation and state border delineation. However, the lack of an unequivocal authority for border management has left serious implications for the state’s sovereignty and its citizen’s security. The Indonesian border of today, is still having to deal with border crime, which includes the violation of the territorial border, smuggling and terrorist infiltration, illegal fishing, illegal logging and Human Rights violations. These kinds of violations have also made a serious impact on the state’s sovereignty and citizen’s security. As of today, Indonesia still has an ‘un-settled’ sea territory, with regard to the rights of sovereignty (Additional Zone, Economic Exclusive Zone, and continent plate). This frequently provokes conflict between the authorised sea-territory officer on patrol and foreign ships or fishermen from neighbouring countries. One of the principal border problems is the Sipadan-Ligitan dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia, which started in 1969.

  • Police and Border Controls Cooperation at the EU Level: Dilemmas, Opportunities and Challenges of a Differentiated Approach by Guido Lessing*
    EU60: RE-FOUNDING EUROPE THE RESPONSIBILITY POLICE TO PROPOSE AND BORDER CONTROLS COOPERATION AT THE EU LEVEL: DILEMMAS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH GUIDO LESSING 8 MARCH 2017 ISBN 978-88-9368-033-2 POLICE AND BORDER CONTROLS COOPERATION AT THE EU LEVEL: DILEMMAS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH by Guido Lessing* Abstract: The history of the European Union is a history of differentiated integration. Differentiation is a logical corollary of integration insofar as politicization and incentives for further integration differ among member states. Whereas the first opt-outs from Justice and Home Affairs were conceded in order to continue the ratification process of the Treaty creating the European Union, the question today is whether growing differentiation can save or will wreck the Union. In times of Brexit and surging euroscepticism and against the backdrop of the refugee crisis, the Union’s resilience to disintegration is at stake. The willingness of member states to make the next steps towards more integration in order to save the Schengen acquis will decide the future of the Union. Further differentiation in the area of freedom, security and justice threatens to reinforce the dividing line between the core and the periphery of Europe. Keywords: EU integration | Migration | Refugees | Frontex | UK | Denmark Introduction: A challenging state of affairs Pursuant to Article 3(2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), “The Union shall offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement of persons is ensured in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border controls, asylum, * Guido Lessing is Research Assistant at the Robert Schuman Institute of the Luxembourg University.

    Łukasz Cora Uniwersytet Gdański Konstytucyjna wolność przemieszczenia się a uprawnienia i obowiązki Policji oraz Straży Granicznej w zakresie kontroli osobistej i przeszukania bagażu Abstract Constitutional Freedom of Movement and the Powers and Duties of the Police and Border Guard in Terms of Personal Control and Luggage Search The text includes a normative analysis of the Police and the Border Guard powers in terms of interference in freedom of movement, in view of the coherence of statutory regulation with the standard adopted in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland by the value sys- tem. Presented views recognise the control and search tools available to uniformed services as imprecise and conflicting with the constitutional principle of proportionality of interfer- ence in civil rights and freedoms. The author’s opinion is that search-and-evidence activities in order to be correctly applied must in practice take into account standards, guarantees and constitutional axiology. Author assumes that the current legal structure and scope of powers are imprecise. By not having the definition of legal personal check and baggage viewing gives a field of abuse of procedural law.

He dispenses orders for the punishment of deserters from the Army's 26th squadron. Original Language: Hungarian Contents: Scan of Original Document War History Archives, Budapest, Hungary THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE'S Confidential Order of tbe Day Number 1 To every command of tbe Anny's Border Guard and to every individual border guard: Brotbers-in-Anns! I. The mission ofthe Border Guard is to protect the borders ofthe Republic ofHungary against the enemies ofthe people. Its task is to prevent political criminals, imperialist agents and their local stooges, as well as criminals, smugglers and their accomplices, from illegally crossing our borders. The border guards' service is ofextraordinarily high significance for the quiet, peaceful life and creative work ofthe Hungarian workers, the political and economic development ofthe Hungarian people's democracy, the uninterrupted building of socialism. The service ofthe border guards (especially on our western and southern borders), compared to the peacetime service ofall forces ofthe Hungarian Army, is the most difficult, but the most important and the best also: active service in peacetime also. In this struggle it is the obligation ofevery honorable border guard to fulfill his patriotic commitments.
