171. Ustavno- in primerjalno pravni vidiki kolektivnega upravljanja pravic na avdiovizualnih delihEneja Drobež, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: zadnja novela zakona o avtorski in sorodnih pravicah iz leta 2022 je močno preoblikovala razmerja med ključnimi deležniki pri ustvarjanju avdiovizualnih del, tj. soavtorji, iz-vajalci in filmskimi producenti. Slovenija je sledila novejšim trendom v primerjalnem pravu, ki z neodpovedljivimi in ne-prenosljivimi poplačilnimi pravicami zagotavljajo pravično udeležbo ustvarjalcev na dohodkih iz sekundarnega izko-riščanja avdiovizualnih del. S tem se v evropski uniji krepi položaj kolektivnih organizacij, saj nacionalni zakoni za to-vrstne pravice običajno določajo, da se obvezno kolektivno upravljajo. Po drugi strani pa je treba zaradi ustavnega nače-la pravne varnosti in prepovedi retroaktivnosti iz 155. člena URS preprečiti, da bi nove zakonske določbe posegale v že obstoječa pogodbena razmerja med ustvarjalci in fimskimi producenti. v prispevku bomo preučili naravo novih pra-vic in jih primerjali s podobnimi ureditvami v primerjalnem pravu. Preverili bomo, katere izmed teh pravic bi lahko po-menile izziv z vidika prepovedi retroaktivne veljave pravic in kako naj k temu pristopi zakonodajalec.

173. Human rights protection in algorithmic societyMatej Avbelj, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: the article, marking the 75th anniversary of the European convention on Human rights and 25 years of the EU charter of Fundamental rights, emphasizes the growing challenges human rights face in the age of artificial intelligence. Eu-rope’s traditional three-pillar system of human rights protec-tion (national, EU, and council of Europe) was built in an analog era, whereas today’s society is increasingly becom-ing algorithmic, with artificial intelligence co-constructing social reality. the article identifies two major paradigm shifts defining the algorithmic society: the loss of human monop-oly over construction of social reality and the dominance of private actors over public institutions. In response, the council of Europe adopted the first legally binding inter-national Framework convention on Artificial Intelligence, setting, inter alia, minimum standards for safeguarding hu-man dignity, equality, and privacy. complementing this, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act follows a risk-based approach, more heavily regulating artificial intelligence systems that importantly impact fundamental rights. While neither legal instrument grants new individual rights, they serve as pre-ventive regulatory frameworks. the article concludes that courts will soon need to interpret human rights in light of algorithmic impacts and may themselves use artificial intel-ligence in decision-making. this evolution demands judicial adaptation and a comprehensive reform of legal education to integrate law with digital technologies.

174. The charter of fundamental rights of the European Union as an instrument of judicial EuropeanisationKatarina Vatovec, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: the article examines whether and how the charter of Fun-damental rights of the European Union, as an autonomous source of EU primary law, can function as an instrument ofjudicial Europeanisation at the national level. Although the charter became legally binding with the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty, its effects on national—particularly consti-tutional—courts remain relatively understudied. to address this gap, the article develops an analytical framework con-sisting of four dimensions—doctrinal, institutional, normative, and discursive—conceived as a model for empirical studiesof charter-driven judicial Europeanisation. the usefulness of this framework is tested through an analysis of two decisions of the slovenian constitutional court that engage with EU law and, in that context, with the charter. While the examina-tion of only two decisions does not permit even partial, let alone comprehensive, conclusions regarding the Europeani-sation of constitutional adjudication through the charter, the findings suggest that the charter can influence the reasoning of the slovenian constitutional court and that the proposed framework identifies the presence of four dimensions in both decisions analysed. the analytical framework thus helps to identify the possible pathways through which the charter may influence and co-shape constitutional adjudication.

176. Different aspects of the right to be heard in administrative proceedingsMartin Dekleva, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: the right to be heard is a fundamental legal principle, recognised by the highest-ranking domestic and interna-tional legal instruments, bodies, and courts. In its most gen-eral and typical sense, the right to be heard enables an indi-vidual whose rights, legal interests, or obligations are being determined in a specific proceeding to present his opinionon the relevant circumstances upon which the decision in that proceeding depends. However, the right to be heard is also important in many other legal contexts and relation-ships. It may be understood as a legally enforceable right or as a legal rule that prescribes the manner in which anauthority must act and the way in which an individual may act. the right to be heard is especially important in admin-istrative proceedings, where administrative authorities, as bodies vested with public powers, are in a position of su-periority vis-à-vis subordinate individuals. In this context, the right to be heard is multi-layered and has wide-rang-ing implications. this article presents the right to be heard within the context of the European convention on Human rights, the charter of Fundamental rights of the European Union, and the slovenian administrative law system. the author examines individual aspects of the right to be heard and defines two groups of derogations from this right. Any derogations from the right to be heard must be carefully considered and proportionate.

177. The right to a healthy living environment in the context of the European Convention on Human RightsŠpela Zagorc, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Although more than 150 countries recognize the right to a healthy environment in their national constitutions, there is no autonomous, globally recognized human right to live in a healthy environment. Despite the absence of explicit rec-ognition of the human right to a healthy living environment in the international environment, it exists and is developing through the application of already existing internationally recognized human rights to environmental issues. the con-ducted analysis, presented in this Article, implicitly formu-lates the right to a healthy living environment as it stems from the EcHr and the case law of the EctHr. the presented Article is focused on the substantive and procedural aspects of essential EcHr rights that can be implicitly linked to the right to a healthy living environment, while also identifying and defining the most important factors that ensure the ef-fective enforcement and protection of the right to a healthy living environment in accordance with the EcHr. the pre-sented concept of a model of the right to a healthy living environment, as it implicitly derives from the EcHr and the EctHr, offers a broader insight into the right to a healthy living environment, together with extensive, yet fundamen-tal arguments stemming from the case law of the EctHr. Undoubtedly, the results of the conducted analysis contribute to raising awareness and strengthening environmental protection as well as protecting the rights of individuals in relation to the topic at the national level.

178. Recent climate change litigation before the European Court of Human RightsDušan Štrus, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: climate change poses significant threats to human rights, as protected under the European convention on Human rights. the European court of Human rights acknowledg-es the unprecedented challenges that climate change cases present, highlighting the increasing need to address these issues concerning human rights violations. recent climate case litigation before the European court of Human rights highlights key legal principles, including states’ positive obli-gations to protect life and health from environmental harm, including climate change. the landmark case of Verein Kli-maseniorinnen Schweiz marked the first instance where the European court of Human rights identified a human rights violation linked to climate change. this decision sets a sig-nificant precedent, influencing future lawsuits and environ-mental legislation. Although the judgment has limitations, particularly given switzerland’s unique regulatory context, it underscores the increasing role of climate litigation in shap-ing policy and public discourse, extending its impact be-yond the courtroom.

179. Dynamic interpretation and judicial activism : companions in the protection of convention human rightsMiro Cerar, Jure Spruk, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The authors discuss the dynamic interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the judicial activism of the European Court of Human Rights, which they describe as necessary companions in protecting convention rights. Dynamic interpretation and judicial activism allow the court to respond to societal changes and appropriately develop judicial law. However, as such departures from a formalistic (static, conservative) understanding of convention provisions affect the stability and predictability of the convention legal system, dynamic interpretation and judicial activism must be applied reasonably and balanced with respect for the principles of judicial self-restraint and the rule of law. Furthermore, the court must consider that its decisions and their implementation depend on the level of consensus and political will among the contracting states in certain areas of human rights protection. The European convention on Human Rights and the European court of Human Rights are discussed as two key foundations of the legal and political identity of broader European integration, based on the values of human dignity and the rule of law.

180. Between individual rights and state responsibility : the role of the State Sttorney's Office as the protector of property and other interests of the Republic of Slovenia before the European Court of Human RightsAna Kerševan, Nataša Pintar Gosenca, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Drawing on statistical data and the practical experience of its representative, the state Attorney’s Office of the repub-lic of slovenia (state Attorney’s Office), the article examines the performance of the republic of slovenia (slovenia) in proceedings before the European court of Human rights (EctHr). According to the authors, the statistical data—tak-ing into account the particularities of the EctHr’s decision-making process—show that, more than three decades after the convention became binding on slovenia, the country has generally been successful in ensuring the respect and protection of human rights and therefore do not support the occasional allegations that slovenia is a major violator of these rights. Nevertheless, the authors emphasize that slo-venia must not be content with what has been achieved. the ideal of full respect for human rights must accordingly remain the primary goal of all institutions and individuals whose work can influence the level of human rights protec-tion in slovenia. In this aspect the state Attorney’s Office plays an important role as the republic of slovenia’s representative before the EctHr, a proponent of friendly set-tlements, a participant in the execution of judgments, and a legal adviser to state authorities, which it also represents in proceedings before domestic courts. Its role is becoming even more significant in occurrence of new challenges such as climate change, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and the ongoing need to ensure consistent compliance with the principles of the rule of law. this trend of its increasing pertinence and expanding scope should be reflected in the institutional framework of the state Attorney’s Office, par-ticularly to achieve a greater impact of its advisory function and to enhance international cooperation with representa-tives of other states before courts.
