Summary/Abstract: In the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ) military history was researched within the institutions of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA). Through the work results of the institutions of the JNA, this branch of history was present in the scientific circles of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the disappearance of the SFRJ from the historical stage and the independence of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the scientific and educational institutions of the state did not take up the organization of work in this field. Systematic neglect of scientific research in the field of military history has had negative consequences not only on science, but also on the broader social context. On the example of a verdict of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina this paper presents some of the effects which the neglect of research of military history can have in the process of determining of responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995.
