  • The Government Decision No 196/2016 has approved the preliminary thesis of the draft Administrative Code. The Government’s intention to give an incentive to the adoption of the Administrative Code, although it is salutary, is not the first. In recent years, several other proposals circulated in Romania for the adoption of an Administrative Code, which however have not been successful, so that, more than 25 years after the change of the political regime in our country, the practitioners, as well as the theorists of the administrative law are confronted with an unsystematized legislation, lacking coherence here and there and generating very different jurisprudential solutions, as well as administrative practice solutions. Within this study, the author intends to discuss some specific issues raised by these theses of the draft Administrative Code, namely: the unity and the ideological and, implicitly, terminological coherence in the administrative law; the organisation of the central public administration, including of its relations with its decentralized structures; the status of the civil servants, as well as the status applicable to the contractual staff of the public administration and the organization, functioning and disputed claims of the public services.
  • This article presents one of the issues of administrative law, namely its codification, by using the comparative study and the diagnosis analysis. Based on the inventory of the essential elements of the preliminary theses the conditions of the subsequent evolution of the Administrative Code in Romania are identified. The study emphasises the necessity to correct the existing normative framework and the thorough analysis of the social necessities. At the same time, the article draws attention to the necessity to adopt the Administrative Procedure Code with major role in the simplification and stability of the legal relations of the public administration with the other social protagonists. The diversity of meanings on the administrative codification from other states reflects the place and role of the Administrative Code in the Legislative Repertoire, but also its corroboration with the sectoral codes. The article points out, by recommendations, the normative requirements regarding the proper functioning of the public administration and draws attention to some measures that can be implemented within the limits of the current legal framework.
  • Starting from the contents of the preliminary theses which seem to announce the imminent entry into force of a new Administrative Code, this study proposes an analysis on a double level: on the one hand, by establishing some correct relations both with the future Administrative Procedure Code and with other hypothetical future codes (the Urbanism Code, the Domain Code, the Contraventional Code, etc.), the matter to be regulated by this new Code should be decided: from a minimalist vision (the central and local public administration plus, possibly, the public function and civil servant) to a maximum one (additionally, the same Code is also going to cover the matter of public services, of goods belonging to the administration, of administrative liability respectively), for reasons of pure opportuneness it is for the legislator to delimit this Code from others which he envisages in the more or less near future. On the other hand, we have approached, at the level of legal details, some problems that, de lege lata, do not have a solution at all or have a questionable solution: the matter of cessation by right of the mandates of the mayors convicted to custodial sentences with suspension of the punishment under supervision, of the mayor’s quality of the State's representative, the daring solution of repealing the provisions of the Civil Code referring to the public property and their development in the Administrative Code, establishing a clear distinction, as far as possible, between the liability (to third parties) of the administration from that of its authorized person (a public servant, as a rule), to mention only the most important ones.
  • Prin Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 196/20161 au fost aprobate tezele preliminare ale proiectului Codului administrativ, a cărui adoptare ar permite folosirea unei terminologii unitare pentru aceleași realități juridice, instituții, principii și concepte, reducându-se astfel riscul interpretării lor diferențiate și contradictorii în practica administrativă, precum și în doctrina de specialitate. Codificarea cadrului legal din domeniul administrației publice prin intermediul unui Cod administrativ și al unui Cod de procedură administrativă urmărește simplificarea legislației în domeniul administrației publice, obiectiv urmărit și în Strategia pentru consolidarea administrației publice în perioada 2014–2020, aprobată prin Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 909/2014.
  • From the time of the four Geneva Conventions (1949) and the 1st Additional Protocol to those (1977) till present days, the notion of belligerency has extended and restructured itself. The evolutions of terrorist groups from the national level of organization to transnational level start to raise the question of the legal qualification of those structures from criminal groups to belligerents. Has the terrorist group got beyond the borders of national law and start to acquire a legal personality in the international law of armed conflicts? In the present study we will start from the classical definitions of the international armed conflict, non-international armed conflict, then observe the evolution of those notions under the case law of the international criminal tribunals set off by the United Nations for Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, as well as the Status of the International Criminal Court, all reflected in contemporary legal doctrine. At the end, we will analyse the capacity of the terrorist group as armed conflict generating factor.
  • Requests for clarifications regarding offers submitted by tenderers in a public procurement procedure are a necessary instrument for contracting authorities that allow them to avoid any unjustified rejection of any offer and breach of the general principles described by the national and European provisions. Questions such as if there is still a debate on the right or obligation to address clarifications are treated in the article. The analysis takes into consideration the provisions of the new legislation on classic public procurement in contrast with the old legislation in order to seek the differences and the similarities.
  • Chestiunea pusă în teză generală la înălțimea principiilor fundamentale ale dreptului nostru public trece peste importanța litigiului concret cu ocazia căruia se pune această chestie. Suntem deci datori a o examina la acea înălțime și justiția la rândul ei e datoare și în drept să-i dea soluția care o va crede mai conformă acelor principii. Fără îndoială că nu este fără greutate considerația generală ce s’a invocat că dispozițiunile constituționale ar putea să rămână fără efect, dacă ar fi permis legiuitorului ordinar să distrugă prin opera sa legislativă bazele pe care este clădit tot edificiul vieței noastre publice, așa cum este el așezat în pactul nostru fundamental și dacă justiția nu ar avea dreptul să repună la loc părțile vătămate ale acestui edificiu.
  • Savantul meu coleg D. Dimitrie Alexandresco, într’un studiu asupra art. 951 și 1157 Codul civil, studiu apărut în ziarul Dreptul Nr. 25, face istoricul protecțiunei minorilor la Romani, istoric care este de sigur incomplet, dacă nu și inexact în câte-va puncte esențiale. Pentru ca să urmez întrucât-va pe eminentul meu coleg, nu mă voi ocupa cu protecțiunea copilului nenăscut, care de la o epocă determinată a început a fi protegiat, lucru care a dat naștere maximei cunoscute: „infans conceptus pro nato habetur quoties de ejus commodis agitur”, maximă cu atâtea aplicațiuni în dreptul modern, ci voi trata numai despre mijloacele de protecțiune organisate de dreptul roman pentru minor, luându-l de la naștere și până la vârsta de 25 ani.
  • Until the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the citizens of the Member States of the European Union were participating in the democratic life of the European Union by their recognized right to submit petitions to the European Parliament and the right to address the European Ombudsman. The Treaty on the European Union (TEU) reinforces the citizenship of the Union and enhances the democratic functioning of the Union providing, among others, that every citizen must have the right to participate in the democratic life of the Union through a European citizens’ initiative. This procedure gives the citizens the opportunity to directly contact the European Commission, by presenting to the Commission an application whereby it is invited to initiate a proposal for a legislative act of the Union in view of implementing the Treaties, the procedure being similar to the right conferred to the European Parliament under Article 2251 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and on the right conferred to the Council under Article 2412 of the TFEU.
  • In this study the author presents the focus points regarding the evolution of maritime laws and the most important aspects in respect of free shipping and trading between states. Therefore, there are examined legal aspects concerning the status of all the motorways of the sea, the natural straits, the ship registration and the ownership of the vessel. The Geneva Convention on the High Seas of 1958, the United Nation Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development are essential and represent the basis for today’s maritime laws and regulations.
  • 10 December 2016 marks 60 years from the date when the General Assembly of the United Nations Organisation opened for signature (and 50 years from the date when they entered into force) the two international covenants on human rights: International Covenant on civil and political rights and International Covenant on economic, social and cultural rights. These, along with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Organisation Charter, make up the hard core of the protection of human rights, within the United Nations Organisation (UNO). The 50th anniversary of their entry into force is equally a reason for balance, namely reflection and projection into the future. Thus, in 1966, the design of the two different conventional instruments, corresponding to the two traditional categories of human rights (civil and political rights, on the one hand, and economic, social and cultural rights, on the other hand), was based on their different legal nature, on the East-West ideological divisions, or on the necessity to treat them differently in the process of implementation at state level: the immediate implementation (civil and political rights) v. progressive realization (economic, social and cultural rights). However, the initial situation did not stay within the same parameters, but it gradually evolved. Although initially conceived as „political obligations” in the economic, social and cultural fields and rather left at the discretion of StatesParties, the economic, social and cultural rights have acquired, in time, through the work carried on by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), a position that allows them to claim, in the next 15 years, a significant role in the process of implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. In such conditions, in this paper, the author initiates an evaluation of the doctrine of economic, social and cultural rights in the past two and a half decades, as well as of the way in which CESCR has built the „profile” of these rights, in this regard being evaluated two of the work methods used by CESCR, namely: General comments and the new LOIPR procedure – List of Issues Prior to Reporting.
  • The European projects of codification of the law of obligations evoke the principle of good faith throughout the evolution of the contract, as evoked in the Civil Code of 2009. Good faith and bad faith in contracts have a role worthy of attention and of great value in our civil law, by the entry into force of the new Civil Code on 1 October 2011. The modern vision extends the duty to act in good faith and to avoid any conduct in bad faith on the creditor as well. For the phase of performance of the contract, the obligation to minimize the own prejudice as a result of a non-performance of obligations is regarded as a function of the good faith. By establishing for the first time in the Romanian private law a genuine obligation as duty of the contractual creditor to no longer show passivity in order to moderate the future prejudice, the new Civil Code fully answers the imperatives of the functioning of a modern justice, encouraging more and more the execution oriented towards the economic finality of the contract, and not just the legality of the contract and its compliance with the commitment assumed.
