Rule of Law: Requirements and Features

According to Article 16 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (DDHC): "A society in which the guarantee of rights is not assured, nor the separation of powers determined, has no constitution."

On this historical basis, we can analyze the requirements of the rule of law. Professor Elias Diaz, in his famous book, "Democratic Society and Rule of Law," outlines four of these requirements:

1. Rule of Law

The rule of law replaces the rule of men with the government of laws. This is a consequence of the desire to "depersonalize" the exercise of political power. As a government of laws, it follows that all public authorities, not only citizens, are subject to the law. It is not just any kind of...

Confederation of States: Definition and Structure

Concept of a Confederation

According to García Pelayo, a Confederation is the relationship between States, created by an international agreement, with the intention of perpetuity, which leads to a power that is exerted on Member States and not, immediately, on individuals.

Legal Nature and Historical Context

From a historical point of view, the Confederation has a fluid nature, often seen as a mere alliance between a League and a Federal State. In any case, it belongs primarily to international law, since it holds no immediate power over the citizens of each State. When in doubt, the competition and the law of the particular state prevail.

Fourth Additional Provision of the Private Security Law

The Autonomous Community (CA) responsibilities for the protection of people and goods, and for the maintenance of public order, can develop the powers of authorization, inspection, and sanction of security companies that have their registered address within the CA.

The Decentralization of the Spanish State

From the start of the transition, it was necessary to respond to the demands for autonomy that had been requested during the Franco era. The King spoke of this in his inauguration, and the Constitution contemplated that possibility. The process was not simple: there was unanimity for the historical nationalities; however, there was no unanimity regarding whether to spread this throughout the territory or what the competencies should be.

The demonstrations in favor of autonomy led the government to generalize the process, which caused many tensions among those faithful to Francoism. In 1979, the statutes of Catalonia and the Basque Country began the configuration process of the autonomous state. In the...

Article 22: Health Surveillance of Workers

Under occupational health and safety regulations, the monitoring of employee health must adhere to strict legal standards to ensure safety, privacy, and non-discrimination.

1. The employer must ensure that workers have access to the regular monitoring of their health in light of the risks inherent in their jobs. This health surveillance may take place only when the worker provides their express consent.
   
   This requirement for consent excludes cases where, following a report from workers' representatives, the conduct of health assessments is essential to:
