O dever fundamental de pagar taxas como forma de efetivação do direito fundamental à incolumidade das pessoas visando a prevenção ou mitigação de desastres ambientais

Abstract

The exercise of the power of administrative police is one of the public needs that must be met by the State, espe cially in matters of protection of the environment and the safety of people. Faced with this public need to be reconciled with the exercise of individual and collective freedoms, the present study seeks to inquire whether the fundamental duty to pay fees is necessary for the realization of the fundamental right to the safety of people, through the cost of expenses arising from disaster prevention and environmental catastrophes, as well as the mitigation of their effects. The theme is important not only beca use of its contemporaneity, given the catastrophes and environmental disasters that have occurred in Brazil over the last few decades, but also because of the transdisciplinary nature of the approach, which provides an opportunity for a careful reading of a subject so forgotten by the constitutionalist doctrine. To verify the hypothesis, the deductive method and bibliographical research were adopted. As a result of the research, the hypothesis is confirmed, in the affirmative sense that the fulfillment of t his fundamental duty contributes to the realization of the fundamental right to the safety of people, by bringing financial resources to the Fiscal State, allowing expenses in the areas of prevention of environmental disasters or mitigation of its effects.
