Populism and Women: Human Rights Abuses in the Bosnian case
Author: Hristina Crenn (Prilep, Macedonia)
Introduction
In this essay, I am going to analyse the trajectory of Peacebuilding (in the Bosnian case) that over time was marked with a significant culture of legal mechanisms destined to ameliorate the status of past and current international conflicts, as well those who stay unresolvable for few decades or centuries. The mission of crafting peace is probably one of the most sustainable goals of the humanity and the legal institutions dealing with conflict issues. In the Bosnian case, establishing peace in the aftermath of the war, was the indispensable goal programmed by many international institutions. The primacy of international treaties over nationals laws determines wholeheartedly the hierarchical categorisation of norms. The flagrant position of the legal norms is essential for diversifying the wide spectrum of rules and their implementation. The most important legal requirement to resolve a conflict is by non-violent means in the process of Peacebuilding. Hans Kelsen, an Austrian jurist, in his book “Pure Theory of Law”1 mentions about the Grundnorm (basic norm) that is situated at the top of the pyramid of norms. In the French legal tradition, the Constitution is the supreme norm.
