USTAVNOPRAVNI POLOŽAJ DJETETA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ I BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION OF CHILDREN IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA AND BIH

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine to what extent the rights of the child, prescribed by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, are incorporated into the highest legal acts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, i.e. what is the position of the child in the Constitution of the Republic of Srpska and the Constitution of B&H. The author's intention is to first point out the fact that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, as the most important international instrument for the protection of children's rights (the children's constitution), among other international documents, is listed in Annex I of the Constitution of B&H, as well as to simultaneously examine the possibility of direct application of this UN Convention in the legal order. Also, the intention is to analyze the rights prescribed by the UN Convention and the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republika Srpska and to point out possible differences. The paper applies the normative-dogmatic method and analysis of judicial practice, with the aim of offering reasoned conclusions and recommendations for improving the constitutional and legal position of children.
