Abstract

Početkom sedamdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća počela je takozvana "kaskada odgovornosti" koja je potaknula osnivanje brojnih mehanizama tranzicijske pravde, što je 25. svibnja 1993. godine rezultiralo osnivanjem ad hoc Međunarodnoga kaznenog suda za bivšu Jugoslaviju1. Problem je, međutim, što ankete (IDEA, Documenta, Beogradski fond za humanitarno pravo) već nakon nekoliko godina rada pokazuju da je Sudu na prostoru kojemu je namijenjen narušen društveni legitimitet, koji se u međunarodnome pravu definira kao stav onih kojima je određeni oblik međunarodnoga prava namijenjen (prema njemu) i njihova sposobnost da ga poštuju (Ford 2012, Thomas 2014). Rad istražuje razloge koji su utjecali na smanjenje društvenoga legitimiteta Suda u RH, a koje je potrebno tražiti na razini rada samoga Suda (rad Ureda glavnoga tužitelja, sudska praksa, kasno osnivanje ureda Outreach te niz „diplomatskih“ pogrešaka Suda), ali i na razini međunarodne politike (način osnutka Suda, široko postavljeni ciljevi, nedovoljan utjecaj na priznanje presuda na području bivše Jugoslavije) i, konačno, na razini nacionalne politike u RH (utjecaj medija i političkih stranaka). Rad pojašnjava važnost društvenoga legitimiteta za mehanizme tranzicijske pravde te koje je posljedice njegov nedostatak imao na rad Suda − ostvarenje mandata, suradnju sa zemljama i entitetima kojima je namijenjen, a time i na proces tranzicijske pravde.

Abstract (english)

At the beginning of the seventies started the so-called "cascade of responsibility" which initiated the founding of numerous mechanisms of transitional justice, one of which is the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which was established on 25 May 1993. The problem is, however, that according to the public pools and researches (IDEA, Documenta, Belgrade Humanitarian Law Centar) the ICTY very early on started to lose its social legitimacy, which is in international law defined as the beliefs of "those addressed" and their capacity to facilitate compliance with international law. The paper examines reasons behind the lack of social legitimacy of the Tribunal in Croatia, which is examined in the work of the Tribunal itself (work of the Chief Prosecutor’s Office, work of the judges, the late establishment of the Outreach Office, and series of “diplomatic” mistakes), on level of international politics (the establishing the Tribunal, broadly set objectives, insufficient influence on the recognition of judgments in the former Yugoslavia), and finally, on the level of national politics in Croatia (influences of political parties and the media). The paper explains the importance of social legitimacy for mechanisms of transitional justice, and the consequences of the lack of such legitimacy for the Hague Tribunal - the fulfillment of the mandate, the cooperation with the countries of former Yugoslavia, and finally on the overall process of the transitional justice.
