TFL Vsebine / Pravni letopis

V pravodajnem procesu nastopajo kot materialni pravni viri tudi etična načela in moralne norme. Pri pretvarjanju etičnih načel v splošne pravne norme zavzema pomembno vlogo tudi nomotehnika. Veda o izdelavi pravnih predpisov, nomotehnika, mora preprečevati pojave zlorabe oblasti in korupcije. To pa postavlja celotni pravni sistem v odvisnost od moralnosti državljanov in njihovega odnosa do temeljnih načel in skupnih vrednot. Zakonodajalčev odnos do etičnih načel v ravnanju in odločitvah zelo močno vpliva na zaupanje javnosti v njegovo delo ter s tem na legitimnost njegovih odločitev. V začetku 21. stoletja je na splošno stopnja zaupanja v predstavniška telesa kot glavnega zakonodajalca in s tem v parlamentarno demokracijo zelo nizka. Zaupanje v nacionalne zakonodajalce oziroma parlamente v Evropski uniji v zadnjem obdobju upada, ta stopnja zaupanja pa je v Sloveniji še nižja od povprečja v Evropski uniji.

In the law-making process, ethical principles and moral norms pose as material sources of law. When converting ethical principles into general legal norms, nomotechnics plays an important role. The science of creating legal regulations – nomotechnics, must avoid the occurrences of abuse of power and corruption. This makes the whole legal system dependent on the morality of citizens and their relation to the fundamental principles and common values. Attitudes towards ethical principles in the conduct and decisions of the legislature have a major impact on public confidence in the legislature’s work, and thus the legitimacy of its decisions. In the early 21 century, the general degree of confidence in the representative bodies as the principal regulators and thereby also trust in the parliamentary democracy is very low. Trust in national legislatures or parliaments in the European Union has been decreasing in the recent years, while in Slovenia the level of confidence is even lower than the average in the European Union.
