KRIVIČNOPRAVNA ZAŠTITA ŽIVOTA U NOVOM ZAKONODAVSTVU REPUBLIKE SRPSKE
CRIMINAL AND LEGAL PROTECTION OF LIFE IN THE NEW LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA

Summary/Abstract: From the earliest times to the present day, the protection of life and physical integrity in all written legal monuments in the world, so as in Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Republic of Srpska), has been ensured by a system of criminal sanctions, in particular penalties. Namely, these personal and social values can be violated or endangered by various activities of individuals and groups. All these unauthorized, prohibited unlawful behaviors being directed at injuring or endangering of life and physical integrity are blood delicts. They fall into real, natural, general, classical criminal offenses. Criminal offences directed against life are called a murder. Depending on the circumstances of the execution, the capacity of perpetrator or a victim, the motives of the perpetrator, the extent and the intensity of the consequence, we may differ various forms of criminal offence of murder. These are: common murder, aggravated or qualified murders, and less aggravated or privileged murders. The protection of life and physical integrity is ensured both in times of peace and war (by a system of international criminal offenses such as: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, etc.). The Paper analyzes, from a theoretical and practical point of view, the concept, elements, characteristics and forms of expression of the criminal offenses of murder in the law of the Republika Srpska.
