In the article below, I analyse the role of the Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Ilașcu and others v. Moldova and Russia. This judgment, being pronounced by an international tribunal, benefits from the authority and power of the res judicata. However, this argument was “strategically ignored” by the Moldovan political establishment. I tried to find the answer to the question: Why has Moldovan diplomacy never used this strong argument, provided by the ECHR?

The issue of exemption from the attorney-client privilege and the nature of this attorney-client privilege is widely discussed both in the literature on the subject and in the doctrine. In order to analyze this subject, it was necessary to interpret the provisions of the Law on the Bar Ac (26 May 1982), the provisions of the Code of Bar Ethics (23 December 2011) the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (2 April 1997), both guarantees enshrined in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights of liberty from 1950. The interpretation was made in conjunction with Polish case law common courts and case law of the European Court of Human Rights. This also presents the view of the polish Ombudsman’s Office. Given that the professional secrecy of lawyers is an inseparable element of justice, it would be wrong to omit the generally accepted moral norms of society in relation to the procedural role of a lawyer. The thesis put forward that the professional secrecy of lawyers is part of the implementation of the right to a fair trial and the right to respect for private life. The purpose of the work was to emphasize the essence of lawyers’ secrecy as an inseparable element of defense of the parties to the proceedings and to indicate interpretation differences between Polish courts and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.

The paper "The guarantees of the human rights of the defendant in the law system in Kosovo" aims to treat the access of the Republic of Kosovo in the delivery of constitutional guarantees and legal guarantees to protect the defendant in the criminal procedure. Within these guarantees, special emphasis is placed on the judicious acts in force that provide these guarantees in the Republic of Kosovo. A special analysis with regard to this paper is dedicated to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), the practice of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo and the Criminal Procedure Code of Kosovo (CPCK). The analysis of those acts clarifies that the guarantees of the Legal System in Kosovo coincide with the rights of the defendant. Another dimension that finds space within the paper is the practical implementation of the guarantees provided by the aforementioned acts in terms of the rights of the defendant. The role of the Constitutional Court in the Republic of Kosovo in the past and now has been mainly analyzed in the formation of the constitutional and international guarantees, applicable in Kosovo concerning the rights of the defendant in the criminal procedure.

The study presents selected issues related to the role of the national parliament in the implementation and execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It presents the specificity of the national law-making process as a system of ad hoc legislation, which to a small extent is a response to international obligations in the field of human rights.The study also attempts to examine the impact of the case law of the ECHR on the national legal system by analyzing the subsequent stages of the legislative process. It emphasizes the role of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, whose task is to ensure that states do not overlook — by their actions or omissions — the effects of judgments. The study attempts to assess the degree of sensitisation and the increase of awareness regarding the significance of the standards of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention) in the national institutions and executive and legislative authorities that actively cooperate with each other. The implementation of the guidelines of correct legislation in the context of human rights is an activity of entities involved in the law-making process which, taking into account the standards of national and international law, shape in a specific manner the situation of individuals as well as of all entities. Parliaments can hold the executive authorities accountable for the execution of obligations by means of various instruments, and thus many legal issues that were the subject of the judgments of the ECHR had significant impact on the legislative process and the undertaking of respective legislative actions towards bringing Polish legislation closer to the standards of the Convention. The Sejm (the Polish Lower House) and the Senate bear enormous responsibility for the quality of the adopted law; at the parliamentary stage the role of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Poland becomes less leading, but not excluded. This is what determines the unique role of the dialogue between the executive and legislative authorities, which should finalize the vision of the legal regulations closer to human rights in a constructive manner.

A special regime for the protection of the right to respect for home is provided with the Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. With ratification of this Convention, the Republic of Serbia has undertaken the obligation to respect and effectively implement the rights guaranteed by the European Convention as a "minimum European standard". The role of the European Court of Human Rights in defining and determining the scope of basic human rights, so the right to respect for home too, is reflected in its rich practice, which greatly affects national legal systems. Thus, the European Court in its practice has defined the principles and criteria for providing protection of the right to respect for home. To monitor the used instruments for protection of the right to respect for home in the domestic legal order and their harmonization with European standards of protection, it is necessary to analyze the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia, through which is reflected practice of regular courts as well. Considering that in the practice of the highest courts in our country, as well as in the practice of the Constitutional Court, the right to respect for home has been recognized recently, the lack of numerous theoretical discussions and practical analyzes of prominent controversial issues indicates the relevance of this topic about we write about.

In this article, the authors explore the theoretical and practical aspects of the procedure for addressing the European Court of Human Rights. Many citizens of the Republic of Moldova apply to the European Court of Human Rights for the protection of violated rights. For several years and as a result of various factors, the Court has been overwhelmed by the number of individual applications. However, the vast majority of these applications (over 95%) are rejected, without being examined on the merits, because they did not meet one of the admissibility criteria provided by the European Convention on Human Rights. This situation creates a double frustration. On the one hand, having the obligation to respond to each request, the Court does not have the opportunity to focus, within a reasonable time, on cases that require a substantive examination, and this is of no real use to litigants. On the other hand, the actions of tens of thousands of applicants are rejected without appeal, often after years of waiting. The proposals of the authors, who must increase the guarantees of human rights protection, are very important.

On October 19, 2012, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) ruled that policies pursued by de facto authorities in the Transdniestrian region of the Republic of Moldova aimed at suppressing Moldovan-language education violated the right to education of the affected children and their parents. The Court held Russia responsible for these violations by virtue of the continued vital support Russia provides to the de facto authorities. Meanwhile, the Court found Moldova to have complied with residual human rights obligations it retained, despite lacking effective control over Transdniestria. This important judgment develops the jurisprudence of the Court in relation to human rights violations arising from conduct of de facto authorities. However, it does not fully clarify the standards the Court applies in attributing their conduct to third states.
