INTERAKCIJA ODRŽIVOSTI I ŽIVOTNE SREDINE U PRAKSI USTAVNOG SUDA LETONIJE
Apstrakt
Članak daje analizu interakcije principa održivosti i zaštite životne sredine u praksi Ustavnog suda Letonije. Princip održivosti u letonskom ustavnom pravu je sasvim nov. Ipak, primenjuje ga Ustavni sud razmatrajući različite slučajeve. To je takođe uključeno u pisani tekst Ustava i sam razvoj države je usmeren na održivost. Kako je zaštita životne sredine srž ovog principa, Ustavni sud ga je primenio rešavajući različita pitanja u pogledu životne sredine.
U članku se ukazuje i na sadržaj ekološkog konstitucionalizma. Naime, u Letoniji se ono sprovodi i kao specifično osnovno pravo na život. Takođe, analiziraju se pravni lekovi poput onih pred upravnim i Ustavnim sudom koji se mogu koristiti za zaštitu povređenih osnovnih prava.
Da bi se stekao uvid u praksu Ustavnog suda Letonije, objašnjena su tri različita pitanja. Prvo, dat je značaj poljoprivrednog zemljišta i njegove obrade i zaštite ostvarivanjem ideje održivosti. Zatim autorka objašnjava glavne argumente primene ovog principa u prostornom planiranju. Na kraju, slučajevi održive energije u kojima se održivost primenjuje dovode do zaključaka o budućnosti i značaju obnovljivih izvora.
