Abstract

International Law is a system that is responsible for the protection of the rule of law in the international plain and for the achievement of common values such as humanity, justice and security. In that view the general principles of International Law have a very important role as foundations of the legal structure in the international IFAA system and an important place in fulfilling existing vacancies within legal sources and the strengthening of court arguments, moreover criminal law interpretations. These principles guarantee a dynamic of International Law and according to Anthony Casseu, a prominent professor of International Law, they are considered a promising source for International Law. This article is a descriptive inquiry with the aim to analyze the role and placement of general principles of International Law in the subjects tied to the crises in the Balkan region, especially with the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Key words: General law principles, The Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia, the Balkans, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
