Osnovni izvor maloljetničkog krivičnog prava u Republici Srp- skoj koji ima primat u primjeni prema maloljetnim učiniocima krivičnih djela jeste Zakon o zaš i postupanju sa djecom i ma- loljetnicima u krivičnom postupku (donesen od strane Narodne skupš ne Republike Srpske februara 2010. godine i objavljen u Službenom glasnika Republike Srpske, broj 13/2010; ovaj za- kon je noveliran krajem 2013. godine - izmjene i dopune ovog zakona su objavljene u Službenom glasniku Republike Srpske, broj 61/2013). U zakonskom uobličavanju ove grane krivičnog prava u svim sa- vremnim državama posebnu ulogu imaju određeni pravni stan- dardi predviđeni u ogromnom broju međunarodnih pravnih akata. Slično je i sa Republikom Srpskom u kojoj su međunarod- ni pravni standardi koje je prethodnih godina implemen rala Bosna i Hercegovina (a samim m i Republika Srpska kao njen dio) predstavljali okosnicu prilikom izrade pomenutog zakon- skog teksta, ali i svih podzakonskih akata kojima se uređuje ova itekako važna oblast. O jednom od najvažnijih od svih međuna- rodnih pravnih akata – Konvenciji Ujedinjenih nacija o pravima djeteta biće riječi upravo u ovom referatu. Ključne riječi: krivično pravo, maloljetnik, međunarodni pravni ak , Konvencija UN o pravima djeteta. 5 Ljubinko Mitrović: Konvencija Ujedinjenih nacija o pravima djeteta i njen značaj u pravu Republike Srpske uopšte, a posebno u maloljetničkom krivičnom pravu Republike Srpske KONVENCIJA UJEDINJENIH NACIJA O PRAVIMA DJETETA Ukratko, u nekoliko rečenica predstaviti Konvenciju Ujedinjenih nacija o pravima djeteta koja je donesena 1989. godine1, danas od većine pravnih teoretičara, ali i prakti- čara popularno nazvanu dječijim ustavom, nije nimalo jednostavno. Naime, nesporno je svakako sljedeće: Konvencija Ujedinjenih nacija o pravima djeteta predstavlja prvi, ali i najvažniji sveobuhvatni međunarodni dokument kojim se garantuju prava djeteta u svim oblastima njegovog života. S druge strane, ova Konvencija predstavlja pravno obavezujući dokument, dakle, ugovor o ljudskim - dječijim pravima, odnosno međunarodni instru- ment koji je danas dostigao skoro univerzalnu ratifi kaciju (UN Konvencija je ratifi kovana u preko 200 država), i danas je ona najvažniji međunarodni ugovor o pravima djeteta (svi drugi međunarodni ugovori o pravima djeteta imaju subsidijarni karakter). Za razliku od UN Konvencije, druga međunarodna pravila i smjernice predstavljaju tzv. “meke” zakone (propise), zbog čega nisu direktno obavezujući dokumenti za međunarodne, odnosno na- cionalne i lokalne zakonodavne organe, s tim da i ova pravna pravila pretpostavljaju pre- poručeno postupanje i poželjno uređenje različitih aspekata maloljetničkog pravosuđa.2 Istorijski posmatrano, Konvencija UN o pravima djeteta usvojena je od strane Generalne skupštine Ujedinjenih nacija 20. novembra 1989. godine, s tim da je stupila na pravnu snagu 2. septembra 1990. godine. Slično drugim, danas najvažnijim međunarodnim pravnim doku- mentima u oblasti ljudskih prava i sloboda, i usvajanje ovog važnog dokumenta nije “išlo” tako glatko u toj savremenoj, iliti demokratskoj međunarodnoj zajednici, i rezultat je višegodišnjeg procesa koji je trajao duže od pola vijeka. Ali, usvajanjem Konvencije UN o pravima djeteta stvoren je sveobuhvatan korpus prava djeteta, čime su djeca, po prvi put u istoriji međunarod- nog prava u oblasti ljudskih prava, dobila sveobuhvatnu i posebnu pravnu zaštitu. U vrijeme njenog usvajanja, Konvencija UN o pravima djeteta kao poseban međunarodni ugovor predstavljala je značajno dostignuće u procesu razvoja i jačanja međunarodnog prava o djeci. UN Konvencija je bila i sveobuhvatan dokument, odnosno dokument koji je prepoznao sve kategorije ljuds kih prava priznatih djeci - građanska, politička i ekonomska, kao i socijalna i kulturna prava. To je svakako bila novina za međunarodne ugovore u domenu ljudskih prava i zbog tako širokog pristupa UN Konvencija je bila i sve do danas je ostala najznačajniji doku- menat o pravima djeteta. Jer, čak i kada se u slučaju povreda prava djece zaštita tih prava traži preko drugih ugovora, npr. Pakta o građanskim i političkim pravima ili Evropske konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i osnovnih sloboda, Komitet UN o pravima djeteta i Evropski sud za ljudska prava se u svojim preporukama i presudama ipak, u pravilu, pozivaju na Konvenciju UN o pravima djeteta. Drugim riječima, UN Konvencija je postala vrhovni autoritet u domenu međunarodnog prava o djeci, a posebno o djeci u sukobu sa zakonom3. Uz Konvenciju UN o pravima djeteta, na dalji razvoj međunarodnog prava u domenu ljudskih, odnosno dječijih prava značajan uticaj imaju i znatno kasnije, odnosno 2000. 1 Prije donošenja i usvajanja

    unusual borders: enclaves, exclaves, and other phenomena Borders are scars on the face of the planet... Las fronteras dividen, solo crean cicatrices A B These two lines are taken from the song ‘We Rise Again’ by the American band Gogol Bordello. The second line translates as: Borders divide, and only create scars. Since the beginning of modern civilization, man has sought to claim his territory and defi ne it with borders. These borders divide the land into what is ‘mine’ and what is ‘yours’. They say that you need permission to see his mountain; C that they must ask before watching the sunset on your beach; that this side of the lake is mine, and the opposite side is yours. Borders do not always ‘behave’ in a predictable way. They do not always follow a simple, straight course, with as few twists and turns as possible. Where borders are not clearly defi ned, this creates potential for confl ict. But perhaps the main cause of confl ict is man’s instinct to strive for more. Over many years, confl icts – In this case, C is an exclave of territory B, but at the same time it is an enclave both large and small – have led to the movement of borders, as people have sought within territory A. to make the dream come true that ‘ours’ is greater than ‘theirs’. Apart from enclaves, often known as true enclaves, there are also so-called The political map of the world reveals the results of these border movements, pene-enclaves – territories that are physically separated from the home country the lines giving the impression of scars left by man on the face of our planet, and but which can still be reached without passing through another country.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.

  • On the Future Status on Serbian Religious Heritage.Cdr
    BALKAN DIAL GUES ON THE FUTURE STATUS OF SERBIAN RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL HERITAGE IN KOSOVO AND THE PROCESS OF NORMALIZATION OF RELATIONS BETWEEN BELGRADE AND PRISTINA The BALKAN DIALOGUES is a project of the East West Institute (EWI)* implemented in cooperation with the Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence (BFPE), first hosted in Belgrade in 2019, with high-level events taking place in Berlin in December 2019, Munich in February 2020, online in July 2020 and at the Belgrade Security Forum in October 2020. Comprised of decision-makers and experts from the six countries of the Western Balkans (WB6), along with the European Union, United States, and Russia, the dialogues are designed to help increase and deepen understanding while building trust between representatives of varying geopolitical interests present in the region today. The idea for this publication came from the community brought together by the initiative. Members of BALKAN DIALOGUES core team are Sonja Licht, Maja Piscevic, Cameron Munter, Ivan Vejvoda, John Jovanovic, Jovan Ratkovic, Marko Savkovic and Djordje Popovic. Thematic papers and the executive summaries are a product of four expert workshops held online in August and September 2020. *After East-West Institute ceased to exist in December 2020, the Balkan Dialogues initiative was transferred to the Atlantic Council in Washington DC.

  • Hidden Europe 3 (July 2005): Tangled Territories
    feature tangled territories Of course there were di"culties, and some remain, most conspicuously the uniquely strategic position of the town of Brčko on the Sava river. But, although the borders between the Republika Srpska and the Muslim- Croat Federation within Bosnia may be hugely complicated, the negotiators avoided having one entity peppered with patches of territory belonging to the other. Quite why it o!ends our sensi- bilities when political units have non- contiguous territories is hard to say. A Welsh friend tells how she used, as a child, to worry a lot about the county of Flintshire, which had a good wedge of territory on the north coast of Wales, and then an entirely discon- nected exclave away to the south.

This represents continuity in the activities of the Senate of the University of Sarajevo, which started in 2009. Numerous relevant sources published in scientific publications world wide speak about this gravest crime against humanity and international law. Numerous Judgments (of international and national character) were rendered, which among other things suggest the causes, objectives, and extent of genocide against Bosniacs of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the 20 th century. AGGRESSION AGAINST THE REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND GENOCIDE AGAINST BOSNIACS 1 Unfortunately, even after almost 16 years since the genocide, the media, scientific, professional and general public, mainly in Serbia and the BiH entity Republika Srpska, are full of various wrong perceptions and opinion of the character of war and the nature of crimes in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992-1995.

The author believes that the unresolved border Yugoslavia (SFRY), issues mainly caused by the opinion of the so called Badinter Arbitration principle of uti Commission, according to which the internal administrative borders between possidetis, Serbia, the Yugoslav republics, despite its obvious legal inconsistencies, declared for delimitation international borders on the basis of principle uti possidetis. The justification for such an opinion of the Arbitration Commission is found in the broader interpretation of the judgment of the International Court of Justice regard- ing the delimitation of Burkina Faso and Mali. However, this case cannot be compared with the “Yugoslav case”, because the “Yugoslav case” caused far more complex consequences in relation to the consequences that arose during the emergence of new independent African States in the process of decolonization. This conclusion is also indicated by the author himself, who is investigating the possibilities of international legal regulation of all out- standing border issues.
