possibilities-to-manage-the-secession-within-constitutional-framework 2019 1 For certain international law theorists, secession is legitimate if it is constitutionally established. Only if the secession exists as an option in the constitution, which establishes the conditions under which it can be exercised, one can speak about legitimate secession. Although, few constitutions in the world envisage this possibility (for example Burma Constitution between 1947-74; Constitution of former SFRY, 1974; Constitution of the Former USSR, 1977; Constitution of Ethiopia, 1995), nevertheless, the ideas to integrate the provision for secession in the constitution is not new and constitutes a complex mix of legal arguments relating to justice, democracy, recognition and the right to self-determination. Whether those attempts are justified or not remains open to debate. Nonetheless, even in those cases where the provisions for secession exist in the constitution, they are often declarative, and the ways for their exercising are far from clear and thus do not have a substantial value.

legal-arrangements-of-the-occupational-safety-and-health-in-the-republic-of-north-macedonia 2019 1 Occupational safety and health in general is concerned with preserving and protecting human and facility resources in the workplace. The analysis in this paper are focused on helping people by preventing them from being injured or becoming ill due to hazards in their workplaces. According to the statistical data for the last couple of years there is a fairly high rate of fatal accidents at work in the Republic of North Macedonia. What is more concerning is that some of the accidents at work are not reported because the workers do not have a regulated employment status. The main reason for that is the content and non-implementation of the legal arrangements of the occupational safety and health. The analysis will be made more specifically to the Law on Safety and Health of the Republic of North Macedonia as the basic legal framework that regulate this matter. The main goal is to detect the shortcomings and provide necessary amendments to the legal framework for the occupational safety and health in order to increase the protection of workers in their workplaces. Some of the recommended amendments are the following: extension of protection to those categories of workers not covered by the legal acts; appropriate regulation of the employer's liability for the damage that the worker has suffered at the workplace and in relation to the work; adoption of provisions regulating the work under drugs that may adversely affect the physical and mental capability of the worker; introduction of provisions that oblige the occupational safety officer to cooperate with the authorized healthcare institution for performing health examinations of the workers; strengthening the supervision by the State Labor Inspectorate.

political-corruption-as-a-social-deviation 2019 1 Political corruption represents a particular type of cooperation between social groups. Political Corruption is a social deviation, as results of several causes: the environment of the political, economic and social system as well as cultural dimensions. The goal of political corruption is to obtain the private reward material or service advantages, however, usually accompanied by considerable social damages. Political corruption often becomes as acceptable social norm in politically deviant societies. This paper analyses political corruption as a deviant social activity, examining the countries that are polluted with corruption, which requires functional policy against corruption and the establishment of institutional framework and conditions for the implementation of the policy. This paper marks that political corruption is very negative social activity. The impact of political corruption has very high destructive effects on political system, and whole society. Also we need to mentions that a political corruption is connected with other social activities such as prostitutions, drugs, alcoholism, crime etc.

north-macedonia-s-accession-to-the-european-union-moving-forward-with-lessons-learned-from-the-french-veto 2019 1 Accession to the European Union is a long-lasting procedure that straightforward consolidation, conditionality, communication and many other important segments which constitute enlargement a difficult, but well-worth procedure. North Macedonia formally started its journey with the European Union back in 2005 when it gained the candidate status and since than, that path was full with never ending challenges. This paper will try to argue the efforts that has been made by North Macedonia in order to start the accession negotiations and how the French veto reflected on that efforts. Moreover, it will discuss the next steps which should be undertaken by both sides – North Macedonia and the European Union and how the French nonpaper could change the accession conditions or it were just words that cannot be implemented in practice.

inheritance-procedure-and-regulation-of-inheritance-procedure-with-a-foreign-element-in-republic-of-north-macedonia 2019 1 The right to inherit is one of the most important human rights because through it are being transferred the ownership from the deceased to his heirs. The property also is considered as one of the fundamental human rights and as a fundamental value in the constitutional order of one country. In the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia the right to protect the ownership is raised as one of the most important values with which is guaranteed the right of ownership for every citizen. The meaning of inheritance is that it provides us with property security in the family, in the marital community also, and that everything that is gained within one family after the death of the testator/deceased will remain in the circle of that family. That is also the importance of civil law and inheritance law as part of it, everyone to be secured and to give security of the family as a basic cell in a society, to provide the existence of all members in the marital and family community. The topic of this paper is about the inheritance rights, subjects, inheritance in international aspect, and it will cover all the aspects related to them. So, in this paper the articles that regulates the inheritance procedure will be subject of analysis, especially those of Law on non-contentious procedure which regulates the inheritance procedure and a special attention will also be paid to the inheritance procedure for deciding about the inheritance property, where the international element is present.

the-situation-of-money-laundering-in-the-republic-of-north-macedonia 2019 1 This paper should prove that the phenomenon of money-laundering commonly is defined as covert, sophisticated and profitable criminal activity, whose offenders are commonly and explicitly intelligent people and always a step-ahead before the services responsible for their detection. In the work of this paper I have directed that changes in social, political and economic system contributes to dealing with real situations that as a country in transition it brings predispositions to expand money laundering in the Republic of North Macedonia and link this crime with organized crime by violates the basic tenets of the rule of law. Then, there are created serious problems in detecting and preventing the perpetrators of this crime and clarification of such a crime. New techniques that shows this type of crime are evident in the structure of offenses and offenders to turn illegal proceeds into legitimate proceeds and thus impose the need for continuous monitoring and improvement of methods for its detection. In our country, building an effective system for combating money laundering show continuous improvement and development of the capacities of all the institutions involved in the system.
