Bosnia and Herzegovina, Member of the UN in the Light of the International Community Charter and Decisions, 1992-2002

Summary/Abstract: The paper represents a synthetic review of the historical position of Bosnia&Hercegovina. The author’s standpoint is, the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia (1463) that the statesmentship of the country was completely destroyed. As late as the ZAVNOBIH (Anti-Fascit Liberation Council of B&H) in November 1943, B&H after 480 years was given the status of the state-political subject, limited by the federal structure of the Yugoslav state. The Berlin wall destruction and the Soviet Union stopped to exist, were also followed by the disappearance of the SFRY (Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia). In B&H the national parties came to power, retained the state-political institutions of SRB&H (Socialist Republic). After the referendum B&H became an indenpendent state, the Great Serbian agression followed, the main power was that of the JNA (Yugoslav army). The indenpendent state of B&H was recognized by some of the European states, while on 22 May 1992 the state of B&H became a member of the UN. The author discusses critically the International Community behaviour towards the indenpendence of B&H, which prefered Milošević’s SRJ (Federative Republic of Yugoslavia) demands and standpoints and that of Tudjman’s Republic of Croatia. Due to the Washington Agreement the war between the B&H Army and HVO (Croatian Liberation Council) was stopped and the Bosniak-Croatian Federation came to existence, B&H was divided on the ethnic principle. The Dayton Peace Agreement, November 1995 and the NATO forces intervention, the war in B&H came to an end. The rule of the ethnonational factor in the state and entities represents a brake for the state-political reintegration in B&H. From Dayton to the present time the state-political crises in B&H is still known. Though, from the top of the International Community certain positive signs have been noticed recently to the reintegration and democracy of the B&H society.
