Abstract

Tema ovoga rada je odnos načela diobe vlasti i izvanrednih stanja s fokusom na jačanje izvršne grane vlasti i položaj Stožera civilne zaštite u Republici Hrvatskoj za vrijeme pandemije. U prvom dijelu rada obrađuju se teorijska pitanja, odnosno značenje načela diobe vlasti, definicija izvanrednih stanja i njihova međusobna povezanost. Autor zatim prelazi na stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj - kako su definirana izvanredna stanja u Ustavu, kako je definirana pandemija kroz izmjene i dopune Zakona o sustavu civilne zaštite i Zakona o zaštiti pučanstva od zaraznih bolesti te položaj Stožera civilne zaštite. Kroz prikaz tih ključnih elemenata obrađuje se politika Republike Hrvatske u borbi s pandemijom, narav mjera koje su donesene i njihov utjecaj na ograničenje ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda. Na kraju samoga rada obrađuje se i rješenje Ustavnog suda te izdvojena mišljenja sudaca koji se nisu služili s odlukom većine.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this paper is the relationship between the principle of the separation of powers and states of emergency, with a focus on strengthening of the executive branch of government and the position of the Civil Protection Headquarters in the Republic of Croatia during the pandemic. The first part of the paper discusses theoretical questions, namely the meaning of the principle of the separation of powers, the definition of states of emergency, and their interconnection. The author then moves on to the situation in the Republic of Croatia - how states of emergency are defined in the Constitution, how the pandemic is defined through amendments to the Law on the Civil Protection System and the Law on the Protection of the Population from Infectious Diseases, and the position of the Civil Protection Headquarters. By presenting these key elements, the paper examines the policy of the Republic of Croatia in the fight against the pandemic, the nature of the measures that have been adopted, and their impact on the restriction of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Finally, the paper also discusses the decision of the Constitutional Court and the dissenting opinions of judges who did not agree with the majority decision.
