Summary/Abstract: In legal terms, the crime of genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been the most comprehensively processed and established crime in the field of the international judiciary. Since passing of the International Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948 until today, exclusively the trials for the crime of genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in and around the UN Protected Area in Srebrenica, have resulted in final judgments before two international courts - the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia and the International Court of Justice. The facts establishing and determination of their legal qualifications have lasted for many years, and have been confirmed both in the determination of individual guilt and in determination of states’ responsibilities. Beside the unforeseen consequences in general that carried by such crime, the legal consequences are essential to consider, especially for the further development of international law and its specific application.
