Abstract
The continuing war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has contributed a new term to the vocabulary of international relations with the expression 'ethnic cleansing'. This word describes a set of human rights and humanitarian law violations in both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, The term was initially used by journalists and politicians who applied it later to other crisis situations, but it has also been adopted as part of the official vocabulary of UN Security Council documents and by other UN institutions and governmental and non-governmental international organizations. In fact, the reasoning behind this terminology and its relationship to the system of international law are not very clear.
