INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL OFFENCES IN SLOVENIAN ARMY

Iz proučene literature in opravljene raziskovalne naloge smo ugotovili, da je preiskovanje, preprečevanje in odkrivanje kaznivih dejanj, ki se zgodijo v Slovenski vojski zagotovo področje, ki Ministrstvu za obrambo oz. njenim službam predstavlja izziv, ki se mu ne bo moč izogniti. Lahko celo trdimo, da ne vidimo smiselnih argumentov, na podlagi katerih bi lahko »razumno« vztrajali na dualizmu preiskovanja kaznivih dejanj. Kazniva dejanja, ki se zgodijo v Slovenski vojski in na misijah v tujini skladno z veljavnimi predpisi, preiskujeta dva organa, in sicer 17. bataljon vojaške policije in Kriminalistični oddelek Obveščevalno-varnostne službe Ministrstva za obrambo. Službi sta različno organizirani, imata neenotna pooblastila in omejena območja pristojnosti. Predpisi, ki urejajo proučevano področje, pa so v mnogih segmentih nejasni, pojavljajo se tudi pravne praznine, zaradi katerih lahko zaznamo kršitve temeljnih človekovih pravic in svoboščin. Glavno vodilo magistrske naloge je vprašanje: • Ali je v Ministrstvu za obrambo oz. Slovenski vojski smiselno vztrajati na dualizmu preiskovanja kaznivih dejanj? Na podlagi teoretičnih izhodišč in izkustvenih spoznaj, glede problematike preiskovanja kaznivih dejanj v Slovenski vojski, je bila izvedena raziskava s pomočjo usmerjenega strukturiranega intervjuja. V raziskavi so sodelovali strokovnjaki, ki opravljajo delo na državnem tožilstvu, pravosodju, sodišču, policiji, vojaški policiji, sindikatu in odvetništvu. Raziskovalna metoda in ciljna skupina intervjuvancev sta omogočili, da smo preverjali zastavljene tezeprav tako raziskava predstavlja predloge za reševanje proučevane problematike. Poleg reorganizacije preiskovalnih organov v Slovenski vojski so pričakovane spremembe tudi na državnem tožilstvu in v nekaterih drugih pristojnih službah.After the examined literature and completed research we can conclude that the investigation, prevention and detection of criminal offenses, which occur in the Slovenian Armed Forces, certainly represent an area that presents an unavoidable challenge to the Ministry of Defense. We can say that we do not see any reasonable arguments to "reasonably" insist on the dualism of investigation of criminal offenses. Criminal offences that occur in the Slovenian Armed Forces and its missions abroad are, in accordance with regulations, investigated by two bodies: Military police and the Criminal Investigation Department of Intelligence and Security Service. Those two services are differently organized, have different powers and different areas of jurisdiction. The regulations of the examined field are unclear in many segments with the occurrences of legal gaps, causing violations of basic human rights and freedoms. The key question of this thesis paper is: • Does it make sense to insist on the dualism of Criminal Investigation in the Ministry of Defense/Slovenian Armed Forces? The research of the investigation of criminal offenses in the Slovenian Armed Forces has been carried out on theoretical and empirical grounds, with the help of structured interviews. The research included the experts working in state prosecution, justice administration, police, military police, civil servants union, and as attorneys. The research method and the focus group of interviewees enabled the validation of the set thesis, while it simultaneously represents the proposals for solving the examined problems. Besides the reorganization of the investigation bodies in the Slovenian Armed Forces, the changes are expected to take place also in the state prosecution and other competent services
