THE HIGHEST VALUS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Tema završnog rada je Najviše vrednote ustavnog poretka Republike Hrvatske. Ustav Republike Hrvatske naglašava važnost ustavnih jamstava sloboda i prava čovjeka i građanina mjestom tog poglavlja Ustava, koja slijedi odmah nakon Proslova tj. Izvorišnih osnova i poglavlja koje sadrže temeljne ustavne odredbe. Njihova važnost se ističe i opsegom u samome Ustavu. Zakoni kojima se razrađuju ljudska prava i temeljne slobode pripadaju u organske zakone i donose se kvalificiranom većinom u Hrvatskom saboru što pokazuje njihovu pravnu snagu u odnosu na ostale zakone, jer se ostali donose natpolovičnom većinom nazočnih zastupnika u predstavničkom tijelu. Organski zakoni su prema pravnoj snazi ispod Ustava, ali iznad ostalih zakona. Ustav Republike Hrvatske, po uzoru na neke moderne europske ustave, u članku 3. utvrđuje i navodi najviše vrednote ustavnog poretka Republike Hrvatske, kao temelj za tumačenje cjeline ustavnog teksta i pojedinih njegovih odredbi koje na najbolji mogući način ukazuju kako se zaštita prava čovjeka ne može izdvojiti od ostalih temeljnih načela ustavnog sustava nego ovisi o usklađenoj primjeni cjeline tog sustava. Njihova važnost ističe se i u tome što pomaže svakom građaninu da, kada pročita samo ustavnu odredbu gdje se temeljne vrednote nalaze, upozna i razumije što je u osnovi važno za ostvarivanje njegovih ustavnih prava (Smerdel, Sokol, 2006).The theme of the disertation is The highest values of the Constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia. The Constitution of the Republic of Croatia highlights the importance of the constitutional guarantees of freedoms and human and civil rights with the postion in the Constitution, which continutes right after the Prologue i.e. Source base and chapter that contain fundamental constitutional provisions. Their importace is highlighed with extent in the Consitution. Laws which elaborate humans rights and fundamental freedoms belongs in organic laws and they are passed with qualified majority which shows their legal power in regards to other laws, because the rest of the laws are brought by more than a half of the representatives in Representative body. Organic laws are in legal force under the Consitution, but above other laws. The Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, modeled by some modern European constitution, in article no. 3 establishes and quotes the higthest values of the Constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia, like foundation for interpretation of constitutional text and some of its directive which in the best possible way shows how protection of human rigths does not single out from other fundermental principles of constitutional system and they depend on compliance of application of the whole system. The highlight of their importance is that they help every citizen when they read one single constitutional directive, where the highest values are found, to know and understand what is important for achievement of their consitutional rights (Smerdel, Sokol, 2006)
