The State of Emergency in the Slovenian Constitutional Design

In this article, the author presents the essential characteristics of the state of emergency regime in the Slovenian legal system and provides a critical evaluation thereof. First, he presents the relevant normative framework of the subject matter by analysing all critical stages in the management of an emergency (the declaration, the state of emergency itself and its termination). Then, he focuses on what in his view are two most significant problems of the current regulation and provides critical comments on each of them. He concludes by calling for a major overhaul of the emergency management system.
