Polno uznemiravanje-opšta razmatranja i pojedina sporna pitanja

Abstract

Sažetak: Polno uznemiravanje predstavlja veoma aktuelan problem svuda u svetu, dodatno naglašen time što međunarodnopravni dokumenti pred države sta- vljaju zahtev da adekvatno zaštite svoje građane. Međutim, reč je o fenomenu koji nije dovoljno istražen, niti precizno definisan, što dodatno komplikuje osmišljavanje strategija za njegovo suzbijanje. Imajući u vidu navedeno, izlaganja u radu su konci- pirana tako da se nakon uvodnih razmatranja o polnom uznemiravanju daje komparati- vni pregled zakonskih rešenja prisutnih u različitim zemljama, nakon čega sledi osvrt na Srbiju. Cilj rada jeste da se primenom analitičko-sintetičkog pristupa ukaže na ključne probleme i nedoumice u vezi sa inkriminisanjem krivičnog dela polno uznemiravanje u Srbiji, kako bi se došlo do odgovarajućih preporuka čija bi primena mogla doprineti boljoj zaštiti prava i sloboda građana u polnoj sferi. Autor ipak zaključuje da se ne treba oslanjati na krivično pravo kao dominantno sredstvo zaštite u ovoj oblasti

Summary: Sexual harassment is widely known as a very serious issue of great social significance. According to international legal documents states have an obligation to adequately protect their citizens from sexual harassment, as well as to take action to minimize the consequences of sexual discrimination, as much as possible. However, this is a phenomenon that has not been sufficiently explored, nor precisely defined, which additionally complicates the elaboration of the strategies for its suppression. Bearing in mind the above, after the introductory consideration on the phenomenon of sexual harassment, the author gives a comparative overview of the legal solutions present in different countries, followed by a review of serbian law and its inconsistencies. The aim of the paper is to point out to key problems and concerns related to the criminalization of sexual harassment by applying the analytical-synthetic approach in order to stipulate appropriate recommendations that could contribute to better protection of the rights of citizens in the sphere of sexual freedom and human dignity.
