Summary/Abstract: The profile of this issue, other than public law analysis covering administrative or constitutional issues, jurisdiction and parliamentary law, includes themes which are not purely legal. They have been consciously chosen. One is dedicated to the legal and political science analysis by Jürgen Habermas. At the end of last year, parallel with the German edition, the CJP published the book An Essay on the European Constitution, which could serve as a “textbook” on historical resources of human rights, above all, human dignity: human dignity is the moral source of content for all human rights, and transnational law civilizes community and government relations of power. The potential of this opinion is inexhaustible and can be productively used in relation to civilizing effects of the constitutional law, particularly in B&H. From a scientific colloquium that was staged on the occasion of publishing this book, we bring several discussions. They remind us of the potentials of Kant’s philosophical idea of eternal peace and demonstrate its extent of perception in modern political philosophy. The second topic includes a state-legal base and theological-philosophical answer. It introduces us to a rather simple but contentious topic — Statehood Day of B&H. Instead of legal discussions, on this occasion, we publish a pertinent text by friar Ivan Sarčević, in which Bosnia’s statehood is viewed as a matter of constitution of cohesive ideas, opinions and acts that integrate between each other. A theologian is writing about the topic, employing a historical-sociological analytical procedure and precisely because of that it can be useful to lawyers as a small philosophical instruction that normativity does not necessarily bring justice, especially if it is not supported by ethics.
