The UN International War Crimes Tribunals: Transition Without Justice?
No full textBachmann and Fatic look back at the achievements and shortcomings of both tribunals from an interdisciplinary perspective informed by sociology, political science, history, and philosophy of law and based upon on two key notions: the concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. The first asks to what extent the input (creation) of, the ICTY and the ICTR can be regarded as legitimate in light of the legal and public debate in the early 1990s. The second confronts the output (the procedures and decisions) of the ICTY and the ICTR with the tasks both tribunals were assigned by the UN Security Council, the General Assembly, and by key organs (the president and the chief prosecutors). The authors investigate to what extent the ICTY and the ICTR have delivered the expected results, whether they have been able to contribute to 'the maintenance of peace', 'stabilization' of the conflict regions, or even managed to provide 'reconciliation' to Rwanda. Furthermore, the book is concerned with how many criminals, over whom the ICTY and the ICTR wield jurisdiction, have actually been prosecuted and at what cost.
Offering the first balanced and in depth analysis of the International Criminal Tribunals, the volume provides an important insight into what lessons have been learned, and how a deeper understanding of the successes and failures can benefit the international legal community in the future

Kartiranje queer identitete in motivov v moderni zgodovini umetnosti v Srbiji in Hrvaški
No full textThe article deals with with the possibility of researching and mapping female painters’ self-portraits with the
key of queer interpretation and with the accent on women’s and queer writings. The research of female selfportraits
from this perspective addresses the new approach to modern art history, and the possibilities of construction/
conceptualization/readings/reflection of gender identity of the artist herself as author and observer
of the painting. Theoretical analysis of self-portraits and individual works from the opus of Nadežda Petrović,
Danica Jovanović, Milena Pavlović Barili, Nasta Rojc, Beta Vukanović and Natalija Cvetković was conducted
Dispersion of Stylistic Modernisms: Hundred Years of Plasticity (Case study of Venice Architectural Biennale 2014)
No full textThis paper will give an interpretation of lasting, wavering state of modernity in the perspective of architectural thought and practice. Looking at contemporaneity as a phenomenon related to the status of aesthetics, the paper will try to outline an ongoing spin of modernity by viewing the present aspirations of architectural design that are being contradicted by the time itself. According to Marshall Berman’s study, the experience of modernity can be divided into three phases, whereby the latest, which includes the twentieth century, evinces the loss of the initial steam. As far as he sees, modernity has forwent a great deal of its capacity to organize and give meaning to people’s lives: - As results of all this we find ourselves today in the mist of modern age that has lost touch with the roots of its own modernity. Thirty years after Berman’s observation, Zygmunt Bauman reaffirms the unstable nature of modernity by comparing the processes inside the cultural systems up to the very end of the past century. Pointing out that modernism is an unfinished project he introduces the term late modernity in order to imprint the development of global modernity in the circumstances inherent to the society of today. Since the mid-1990s, the fixed, hardware modernisms should have turned into more dynamic, software state, emphasizing the generally heightened sense of uncertainty and ambivalence. From the point of view of the present moment, through this paper we will prove that uncertainty of consecutive modernisms evinces today in the notion of ambivalence; architecturally speaking, the appearances of contingency take us to the physical environment where the vivid experience of modernity is incessantly being confronted with the ontological call for the truth. The paper will argue that in-between this inner confrontation of modernisms and the modernistic urge for representation (of the solid body-idea of modernity) dissolution of consecutive modernisms appears. Such emergence of (disperse) reality is referred to as the aspect of plasticity of modernism. Through the case of Venice Architecture Biennale 2014, latest event acquainted on the global scale, the paper will discuss the mechanism of appearance and exposure of plasticity in display of one hundred years of architectural idealism. Stressing the consistent, prevailing exclusivity of the architectural practices, the observation reaches the aesthetic roots of plasticity of modernism. It brings into the focus the modernistic rupture with the roots of its own modernity, connecting its totality of aesthetic paradigm with the present-day exceptional and uncommunicative status of the architectural object. Nevertheless, inside the mechanism of expose, the appearances and objects set free from totality, becoming agency of plasticity and unbound architectural background
Вето играчи у политичком систему Србије
No full textНастојање аутора је да утврди који вето играчи се могу јавити током процеса доношења одлука, пре свега законодавног процеса, у Републици Србији. У складу с тим, аутор истражује констелацију вето играча у актуелној институционалној и партијској поставци, која је значајно измењена након избора у марту 2014. године. Број вето играча, њихове унутрашње карактеристике и међусобни односи утврђују се на основу приступа Џорџа Цебелиса, америчког политиколога, који је теорију вето играча увео у главни ток политичких наука. Цебелис истражује утицај вето играча на легислативни статус кво, односно на стабилност политика, што је независна варијабла која може бити веома занимљива у контексту транзиционих држава, у којима су промене закона често неопходне – како због унутрашњих захтева друштва, тако и због међународно прихваћених обавеза

Grocijusova teorija prirodnog prava
No full textNakon analize Grocijusove formulacije prirodnog stanja i prirodnih prava, društvenog ugovora i međunarodnog prava, autorka ističe dva uvida. Prvo, da centralnu ulogu u Grocijusovoj argumentaciji ima specifičan heuristički princip - analogija između pojedinaca i država u prirodnom stanju. Drugo, njegovo čvrsto uverenje daje u međunarodnim okvirima zaštita prirodnog prava ljudi i zajednica normativno primarna u odnosu na poštovanje suvereniteta država. Autorka će tvrditi da su moralno neprihvatljive implikacije ovih osobenosti Grocijusove teorije, kada se uzme u obzir način na koji on definiše pravo na kažnjavanje i svojinu, zapravo legitimacija intervencionizma i kolonizacije. Tvrdiće takođe daje Grocijus inicijator jedne uticajne struje u međunarodnim odnosima, koju karakteriše nepostojanje jasne granice između moralnih normi i juridičkih zakona
