Summary/Abstract: With the entry into force of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on 1st of july 2002, a new branch of criminal law finally grew - international criminal law. It is a system of legal rules contained, first of all, in the international acts (of universal and regional character) which define international crimes (genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression), which violate the norms of the international law of war and humanitarian law. For these crimes, criminal sanctions are prescribed - sanctions that the international judicial bodies (ad hoc tribunals or military courts) are imposing on their perpetrators - as individuals. This paper analyzes the international crimes stated in the Statute of the International Criminal Court and the Rome Statute, in order to be able to fully consider the characteristics of these criminal acts which are otherwise provided in the provisions of the criminal legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted in 2003.
