LAW AND JUSTICE: TWO SIDES OF THE SAME
COIN
Rudolf Machacek
Law Protector
Austria
Abstract. To protect human rights in a peaceful
democratic state, it is essential to achieve justice in addition to achieving
law. In providing accomplishment of justice of crucial importance is the
function of the institution of Ombudsman recently widespread all over the
West Europe. That institution, however, is very old and originates from
the Arab "Muhtasib" the roots of which go back to the times of the Prophet
Muhammad in the 7th century. The text abounds in experiences the author
has obtained while working as a practicing lawyer, the judge of the Austrian
Supreme Court and Austrian Law Protector.
Key words: Law, Justice, human rights
protection, Ombudsman, The Arab Muhtasib
PRAVO I PRAVDA: PISMO I GLAVA ISTE MONETE
Za zaštitu ljudskih prava u miroljubivoj demokratskoj
državi, pored ostvarivanja prava bitno je i ostvarivanje pravde. U obezbedjivanju
ostvarivanja pravde sastoji se bitna funckija u novije vreme širom Zapadne
Evrope rasprostranjene institucije ombudsmana. Ta institucija je, medjutim,
veoma stara i vodi poreklo od arapskog "muhtasiba" čiji koreni sežu sve
do doba proroka Muhameda u 7. veku. Tekst je bogat iskustvima koja je njegov
autor sabrao kao praktikujući pravnik, sudija austrijskog Vrhovnog suda
i austrijski zaštitnik prava.
Ključne reči: pravo, pravda, zaštita ljudskih
