Forms of Legal Responsibility of Politicians and Officials of the Executive and Administrative Authority in Bosnia and Herzegovina De Lege Lata and De Lege Ferenda

Summary/Abstract: The question of responsibility in general, and in particular forms of legal responsibility was, is and will be an actual problem of any social system. The social system is as stable and progressive as the principles and norms of responsible behavior are respected and implemented. Responsible behavior cannot be achieved by declarations and proclamations of norms, but rather, represents a permanent activity on the effectuation of legal norms by the administrative authority in the environment of a stable and progressive policy determined by the executive authority. In this way, responsible action is advocated and favored, as well as awareness of the inevitability of responsible work. Otherwise, sanctions will follow, which are the consequences of not complying with legal norms. The paper analyzes the legal and political responsibility of personnel in the narrower and broader sense, as well as all other forms of legal responsibility of politicians (criminal, civil, misdemeanor, and disciplinary). The legal and political responsibility of politicians is a consequence of the violation of the legal norm/s. Those legal norms explicitly instruct politicians to perform their duties in a certain way and according to a certain procedure. Hence the determination to objectively analyze the forms of legal responsibility of politicians and officials of the executive and administrative authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina through a descriptive method. The results of the analysis indicate that the political responsibility of officials in our country is de facto extralegal, and therefore not regulated by legal norms. This practically means that the political responsibility of officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina is completely outside the sphere of law, which is nonsense.
