CONSOCIATION DEMOCRACY, INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AS SPECIFICS OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: The state system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as its international legal subjectivity, are based on the Dayton Peace Agreement. Through the Dayton Peace Agreement, basic constitutional postulates, international conventions, general principles of international law, a new social order of civil society and a system of multi-party parliamentary democracy are being established. The system of parliamentary democracy is a product of a modern democratic society, within which democratic consciousness should be developed and the protection of human rights and freedoms should be achieved, and the rule of law should be ensured. An important characteristic of the organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina is that the constitutional matter is regulated by an international law treaty, ie the Dayton Peace Agreement. The Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina established a very complex institutional structure, but that was the price to end the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and ensure peace and stability. The Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a way, is an enacted constitution imposed by the international community. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a consociational democracy has been established, which is characteristic of divided and post-conflict societies, in order to preserve its stability. With the same goal, a kind of international administration has been established in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ie the participation of the international community in its management, while the general principles of international law have been included in the constitutional system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper deals with the analysis of these institutes, ie the goals they seek to achieve, with all the advantages and disadvantages of such solutions. The research focuses on consociational democracy as a special form of democracy in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and with it the presence of the international community in the administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
