NASILJE

Author(s): Dajana Cvjetković / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Od nastanka svijeta pa do danas bivstvuje i nasilje kao oblik (ne) prihvaćenog ponašanja i socijalne interakcije među pojedincima_kama, grupama ljudi, državnog sistema i globalne politike. Definiranje nasilja je jedan od najtežih zadataka s obzirom na širok spektar aktivnosti koje obuhvata. Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija (WHO) definira nasilje kao „namjerno korištenje fizičke sile i moći prijetnjom ili postupkom prema samom_oj sebi, prema drugoj osobi ili prema grupi ljudi ili čitavoj zajednici, što bi moglo rezultirati ili rezultira ozljedom, smrću, psihološkim posljedicama, nerazvijenošću ili deprivacijom.“ Nasilje kao društveni fenomen je uvijek pitanje moći pojedinca_ke, grupe ljudi, institucije ili države. U izvještaju Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije o globalnom statusu prevencije nasilja iz 2014. godine navedeno je da više od 1,3 miliona ljudi diljem svijeta umre svake godine kao rezultat nasilja u svim njegovim oblicima (nasilje prema samom_oj sebi, međuljudsko i kolektivno nasilje), što predstavlja 2,5% globalne smrtnosti.

Mr Vice-chairman, Madam Chairwoman, ladies and gentlemen, I have been given the honour of presenting a text by a professor emeritus at the University of Hawaii, Rudolph Joseph Rummel, who unfortunately could not attend our conference for health reasons. In the second part of this presentation I will take the liberty of appending some of my own words. So now let’s take: “Worse than the Black Death – Marxism.” (I would like to draw attention to the fact that I am abridging this paper and I hope that its full version will be reproduced by the organisers and made available to you)...

Directive 2012/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime came into force on 25 October 2012. These rules have established minimum rights of victims in the whole territory of the European Union, including proper support, information and protection. The EU’s Member States have until 16 November 2015 to implement the European provisions in their national laws but the obligation is also imminent for countries that are on the road to EU membership. Therefore this paper discusses the right to a review of a decision not to prosecute under article 11th Directive 2012/29/EU, and presents comparative solutions in Germany and Italy. In the paper author analyses the degree of alignment of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Croatian law with the article 11 of the Directive, and makes final evaluation regarding compatibility of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Croatian legal system with the requirements of the Directive 2012/29/EU in the light of victims’ rights in the event of a decision not to prosecute.

Silovanje se uglavnom definira kao seksualni odnos ili druga vrsta seksualne penetracije počinjena od strane učinioca tog krivičnog djela prema žrtvi, bez njenog pristanka.1 Razlike u definiranju krivičnog djela silovanja postoje između različitih zakonodavstava, u zavisnosti od poimanja djela koja su ta društva usvojila, na osnovu tradicijskih, kulturoloških i društvenih vrijednosti koje se štite krivičnim zakonodavstvima, što je uveliko uvjetovano i stepenom njihovog razvoja u zaštiti ljudskih prava.

Istraživanje: Percepcija krivičnog djela silovanja i žena koje su preživjele silovanje

Author(s): Brahim Kajević,Dijana Kapetanović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Istraživanje o percepciji krivičnog djela silovanja i žena koje su preživjele silovanje je provedeno u sklopu predmeta Socijalna percepcija i stavovi na Odsjeku za psihologiju Filozofskog fakulteta u Sarajevu, u periodu maj - juni 2017. godine. Tema istraživanja je izabrana zbog njene važnosti i nedostatka prostora za diskusiju o istoj. Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija potvrdila je da otprilike 10-27% žena tokom svog života doživi seksualno nasilje. Veliki broj žena ne prijavljuje nasilje zbog straha od počinitelja, straha od osuđivanja okoline, stida te nepovjerenja u krivičnopravni sistem. Primarni cilj konstruiranja skala stavova bio je formiranje upitnika sa najpouzdanijim česticama. Sekundarni cilj bio je detektovanje predrasuda u stavovima prema ženama koje su pretrpjele silovanje. Skala se u prvoj fazi sastojala od 62 čestice, koje su nakon istraživanja sužene na 20 čestica sa najvišom pouzdanošću. Skala koja je korištena sastavljena je od tri različite skale koje kao objekat imaju silovanje, žene koje su pretpjele silovanje i stepen empatisanja. Skala se može primjenjivanju u otkrivanju predrasuda, s ciljem njihove korekcije edukacijom.

A Culture of Violence? Women in Twentieth Century Bengal

Author(s): Senjuti Jash / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Violence is one of the primeval instincts of human kind. It is not restricted by spatio-temporal frontiers and majority of human beings, irrespective of their gender, age, nationality, orientation, etc. are subjected to some form of violence during their lives. However, as the societal conditions have always enabled the subjugation of the “weak” by the “powerful”, violence against women has been identified globally as one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations. Using three short stories authored by Jagadish Gupta, Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay, and Mahasweta Devi in twentieth century Bengal as case studies, this paper seeks to examine the diverse trajectories of violence perpetrated against women in the aforesaid period. Analysing particular modes of violence like dowry-based homicide, witch-hunting, and rape as political instrument of oppression, this study intends to qualify Michael Taussig’s thesis on “culture of terror” by situating it against the wider backdrop of the “culture of violence” and the discourses of resistance that simultaneously emerged in twentieth century Bengal.

Let me introduce myself – my name is Child. Surname? Well, Child. Nationality, religion? Again, Child. Age? Newly-born Child, living in…well, in the world of children. I beg your pardon? How come I’m here? Well, it wasn’t my will. And, believe me, nobody asked me anything. I even resisted for nine months. They were a li le rough and, against my will, I simply stepped into this... no, I fell into this world. And, believe me, I met with problems immediately – I didn’t hear quite well, especially with my le ear. Probably due to many rifl e salvoes, fi red as a salute to me. Or, perhaps, to get me accustomed to that terrible music. It’s probably a sign that they already have one person more. God, I’m going to be a real hero! What then, I ask myself, being as lonely as I am, and le to to my own thoughts, while I watch them with open eyes, so drunk and dazed.

MISFORTUNE IN A MODERN FORM

Author(s): Marija Živanović / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Of all the misfortunes that happen to my people, but also to all the other peoples, without exception, I am most upset with those involving children. I don’t justify wars, which are begun by the adults, not by children who are completely innocent, but perish without even beginning to live. I think there is no punishment harsh enough to which I’d sentence such people. This is a true story about the destiny of some people, which made a strong impression on me and made me think.

Familicide: Psychological and Social Characteristics of the Aggressors. A Case Study

Author(s): Andrei Armeanu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Generic defined as a multiple-victim homicide incident in which the killer’s spouse and one or more children are slain, familicide is an atypical crime, with little incidence compared to other acts of domestic violence. In the present article, we will list several psychological and social features identified in the literature as common to aggressors in familicide cases. Given the fact that familicide acts are almost exclusively committed by men, we will assume that the aggressor is a man and the victim a woman. We will analyze data on the age, social status of the author and the victim, and their relationships. We will also analyze the contextual factors, the characteristics of the crime (modus operandi, premeditation, place of the deed), and the prevalence of mental health problems, relationship problems, and financial difficulties. As the scientific literature on the topic is relatively scarce, due to the low number of cases and the fact that access to relevant information is often restricted because of the confidentiality of legal and health documents, we will carry out a case study of a familicide that took place in Romania in 2018, focusing on the analysis of motivational factors and the pre-existing conditions, without claim of a comprehensive conclusion.

Author(s): Uroš Pena,Dragan Mitrović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Sexual delinquency is a phenomenon that goes beyond the framework of naturalness and voluntariness of partners in a sexual relationship. That is complex phenomenon whose essence derives from the special behavior of the offender and his relationship to the victim. The criminal offense of "rape" is a serious crime or serious criminal offense, whose implications are manifested in a person's physical and psychological integrity with very difficult and long-term consequences, both for the individual and for society as a whole. During the investigation of these offenses, a large number of operational and criminalistic measures, as well as proving actions are undertaken. Rape as an offence of sexual violence is a serious attack on person's physical and mental integrity, and the consequences for the victim are serious and long-term. This offense causes a feeling of fear, uncertainty and anxiety among the citizens, and has wide sociological, criminological sociopolitical significance and consequences. The victims of sexual offenses must be treated with caution, and they need to know that they are protected. Inhuman and frivolous behavior to the victim of sexual offence aggravates a traumatized state of the victim. The victims should be provided with adequate treatment, in order to come back to normal life.

Genocid u Srebrenici 1995–2020: međunarodna politika i pravo

Author(s): Zijad Bećirović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

From a time distance of 25 years since the genocide in Srebrenica, it is possible to additionally look at the events of that time and give a look at international politics and law. Srebrenica is a symbol of the inaction of the international community, especially the UN, which was later admitted. Developments are directly related to international politics and law as well as the work of the ICTY/ MICT. Undoubtedly, the genocide in Srebrenica marked international politics, but it also influenced the development of international law, especially criminal and humanitarian law.

Osvrt na preživjelog Fahrudina Muminovića

Svjedočenje ovog počinioca, možda kao nijedno drugo, otkriva lice genocida, njegovo prazno, bezdušno lice. Kad su počinioci ugledali dječaka, vidjeli su ljudsko biće, stali su i spustili automatsko oružje. Prestali su činiti zlo, jer su u tom trenutku shvatili kakvo je to, ustvari, bilo zlo. Moramo se zapitati: Šta se dogodilo s dječakom koji je tražio svoga oca? Je li ubijen? Jesu li ga počinioci poštedjeli? Nihilizam genocida tjera nas da pretpostavimo da je dječak ubijen zajedno sa svojim ocem. Mržnja unutar samog genocida je sveukupna. Njena negativnost tjera nas da mislimo najgore i tjera nas u crnu rupu svoje monstruoznosti. [...]

A Political Reading of Sexual Violence. The Interpretative Model of Rita Laura Segato and The Contribution of Latin American Feminist Thought to The Issue of Gender-Based Violence

Author(s): Susanna Mantioni / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This essay examines the interpretative model devised by the Argentine anthropologist Rita Laura Segato, in reference to the phenomenon of sexual violence. It not only highlights the originality of her theses, but also seeks to provide further insights. Starting from Segato’s analysis of rape, a political act that expresses a ‘moralizing’ intent, we will see how feminist political thought is developing an innovative approach to this phenomenon, by contributing to lift the veil of ambiguity that often accompanies debates about sexual violence, both in the public sphere and in courtrooms. In doing so, the essay emphasizes its inextricable link with power, domination, and cultural construction of masculinity in the framework of patriarchal societies.
