Law, will mostly affect Professional groups. For this reason, 29 females, 64
males, including 93 public accountants registered in the Chamber of Certified
Public Accountants of Antalya asked for expectations by a survey about the
new Turkish Commercial Law. In the first part of the questionnaire includes
demographic data such as age, education and gender, the second part includes
multiple-choice questions concerning the audit process, the last part includes
five-point Likert scale questions about how professionals will be affected. The

1. Introduction
The need of information users for reliable information is increasing in order to use the
resources efficiently and effectively while making decisions for financial reports prepared
by enterprises the in the presence of global economy and increasing competition. Reliable
information makes information inspection obligatory.
The limits of independent audit in our country which are indicated in the law with CMB
(Capital Markets Board) regulations in 1988 is increasing even more with the enactment of
6102 Turkish Commercial Code on the date of 01.07.2012. In this context “Public
Supervision, Accounting and Audit Standards Institution” was founded as a
regulatingauthority for independent audit activity and the profession of auditorship. There
have been major changes in the field of independent audit with this. These changes include
determination of audited companies and possible auditor persons or organizations.
It is envisioned that members of a profession will be affected most with the changes done
in the independent audit in the New Turkish Commercial Code. For this reason, 29

were interpreted by SPSS package program.

Abstract: There are many poisonous marine organisms in BlackSea, Mediterranean, Aegean
Sea and Marmara Sea in Turkey. These organisms: Trachinus draco, Scorpaena scrofa, S.
porcus, Rhizostoma pulmo, Chrysaora hysoscella, Aurelia aurita, Pelagica noctiluca,
Anemonia sulcata sulcata. First aid : if tentacles of nematocysts are still stuck to the skin, they
need to be removed gently. Be careful not to squeeze them as to not discharge more
nematocysts. Local anesthetic spray or ointment may remove some of the pain on minor
stings. Tannic acid is believed to work well. Give cardiovascular and respiratory assistance if
needed. Medical treatment:The best anesthetic ointments in order of efficiency seem to be:
Lignocaine 5%; Ultralan 0.5% . Lignocaine gel. Benadryl cream isn’t as effective.
Commercial creams don’t work as long. Se For other jellyfish stings, soak or rinse the area in
vinegar (acetic acid) for 15-30 minutes to stop the nematocysts from releasing their toxins.
vere itching may occur after a few days. Steroid ointments (i.e. hydrocortisone) could help.
Keywords: Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Poisonous organisms, First aid.

Introduction
Human deaths attributed to poisonous marine animals, particularly fishes, have been recorded since biblical
times and some religious laws still condemn eating fish that are finless or scaleless. Figures of scaleless,
poisonous fishes have been found on Egyptian tombs. Some early naturalists went further than just recognizing
dangerous animals, they actually used marine toxins to remedy ailments. For example, Pliny the Elder (29–79
A.D.) used ground sting ray stingers to relieve the pain of toothaches.
The best procedure to follow, if you are stranded, starved, and have to eat a fish you know nothing about, is to
skin it, remove the head and internal organs carefully, and then soak the remaining meat in water for several
hours, throwing away the water before cooking. Many poisons from plants and animals are soluble in water.
Often, cooking alone will not destroy or remove the toxic substances. In Japan, finer restaurants have licensed
puffer cooks that have been specially trained in preparing puffer for human consumption. Yet the Japanese, even
though they are familiar with poisonous fishes, suffer about 100 deaths yearly from puffer poisoning. Puffer
poison has the scientific name tetrodotoxin, after the family name for puffer fishes, Tetraodontidae. It can take
10 minutes or 3 hours before symptoms are evident: nausea, vomiting, muscular weakness, paralysis, and
respiratory distress. No specific antidote is known.
It is estimated that 30,000 human illnesses from eating poisonous marine animals, primarily fishes and shellfish,
occur each year, some of them resulting in death. With figures like that, the title of the article "Eat Puffer and
Maybe Suffer" should be taken seriously.
Fortunately, we are not rich in point of dangerous marine organisms according to Australia and New Zealand.

Table 1. First aids of poisonous fish

Results
An estimated 500 or so poisonous fishes are inshore species living in warm seas between 45 degrees N and 45
degrees S. Many forms are numerous around small islands in the Pacific. Unfortunately, it is impossible to just
look at a fish and tell whether it is poisonous. In some fishes, toxicity is strongly associated with the ripening of
their reproductive organs or where the fish lives. Fish toxins are sometimes concentrated in a single organ, such
as the liver, muscles, skin, or reproductive organs, or the whole animal may be poisonous.
Puffers, of course, are not the only poisonous fishes. Certain species of snapper, sea bass, barracuda, jack, moray
eel, parrotfish, shark, grouper, wrasse, and surgeonfish have also been implicated in human illnesses. Most of
these fishes contain one or several toxins, one of which is known as ciguatera toxin. Ciguatera is more famous in
Pacific waters; however, in Florida, the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, a one-celled dinoflagellate, and
shellfish exposed to blooms of this organism, reportedly have a ciguatera-like toxin that can cause human
suffering. Ciguatera poison is thought to originate at the base of the food chain. In Pacific waters, it has been
traced to toxic blue-green algae that are eaten by small fishes and, in turn, are eaten by larger fishes. It is through
the food chain that the toxin is taken in and accumulated.
Perhaps other animals of the sea are better known as poisonous and dangerous animals to be avoided. Their
effect on man is more direct—by attack. This involves stinging cells or venom glands. The sea wasps or jellyfish
of the Austro-Asian area have caused many swimmers pain, scars, and even death. There have been 55
documented deaths attributed to sea wasps since 1963. Physalia, the Portugese Man-of-War, is a jellyfish-like
animal known as a siphonophore that periodically causes swimming activity to cease along the Florida east coast
and other areas. First-aid stations are set up on beaches to help those suffering from Physalia attacks. Jellyfish
and siphonophores have stinging cells called nematocysts in their tentacles, and some Physalia tentacles have
been reported to extend 30 feet deep in seawater. Physalia toxin interferes with the conduction of nerve impulses
and can cause the heart to stop beating. In addition to poisonous jellyfish and siphonophores, there are poisonous
or venomous (having venom glands) cone shells, octopuses, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, marine worms, and
other ocean denizens.
In almost all cases, the toxin interferes with the permeability of the nerve membrane and inhibits passage of
nerve impulses. The physical effect may only involve nausea, drowsiness, weakness, or vomiting, or it may

619

�proceed to paralysis and death. In most cases, a cure is not known; however, a drug called neostigmine has been
successful in the treatment of barracuda poisonings. Some human illnesses attributed to eating fish are caused by
decomposing bacteria and are common among jacks, skipjacks, and oceanic bonito; however, symptoms usually
subside within 12 hours.
It is estimated that 30,000 human illnesses from eating poisonous marine animals, primarily fishes and shellfish,
occur each year, some of them resulting in death. With figures like that, the title of the article "Eat Puffer and
Maybe Suffer" should be taken seriously.
Poisonous marine animals can kill people, but unbelievable as it may sound, they can save lives too. Natural
products from land plants have been used for years as antibiotics, narcotics, analgesics, anti-leukemia agents, and
other drugs in the treatment of human distress. Why not use products from marine plants and animals as drugs?
After all, poisons from marine animals show potential in the treatment of hearing diseases, intestinal troubles,
infections, tumors and other ailments.
One of the biggest problems is money. It takes approximately 7 million dollars to develop a drug before it is
submitted to the federal Food and Drug Administration and then only 1 out of 2,500 drugs submitted reach the
commercial market. Another problem involves the collecting and harvesting of suitable marine organisms. If the
chemical structure and properties of the poison are known, then scientists can artificially recreate the substance
and need not worry about how many animals they have to collect. Prior to the 1960s, little was known about the
chemical makeup of marine toxins, but now that scientists have unraveled the chemistry of these poisons,
synthesis of these potential drugs is possible.
There is one outstanding use of a marine poison as a drug—puffer poison is being used as a narcotic for terminal
cancer patients in Japan. Perhaps the Japanese, because they are surrounded by the sea and depend on it so
desperately for food, are more attuned to its resources. The Japanese also found that a certain acid in the brown
seaweed Digenia is a valuable drug in the control of tapeworm, whipworm, and roundworm. There are many
natural compounds of seaweeds that show antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity. However, these are not
poisons, rather they are often components of the cell walls or byproducts of everyday functions. Ironically, some
poisons are thought also to be the byproducts of everyday functions, particularly among the one-celled
organisms.
One product of marine seaweeds, although not of a poisonous nature, deserves attention because of its potential
anti-tumor and anti-leukemia activities in animals exposed to radiation. Sodium alginates of seaweeds tend to
inhibit the absorption of radioactive strontium in the bloodstream and bone tissue of rats by 75 percent.
To cite examples of potential uses for poisons or toxins often involves using the effect of the poison as the cure.
For example, ciguatera poison, which affects the neuromotor system, can relax spasms when administered in
small doses. Another poison isolated from an electric eel shows potential as an antidote for pesticide poisoning.
These are only a few examples, but they are enough evidence to support research on potential drug sources from
the sea.
Poisonous Jellyfish
Rhizostoma pulmo Macri, 1778
Description
Umbrella hemispherical, translucent; exumbrella surface finely granular, jelly thick, central portion stiff, thinner
and flexible in outer third. With 8-12 velar marginal lappets per octant; marginal tentacles absent. Eight rhopalia;
rhopalial lappets smaller than inter- rhopalar, pointed. Subumbrellar musculature in eight distinct peripheral
muscle fields. Stomach occupying central third of bell, roughly square with concave sides; from it 16 substantial
canals connect to bell edge; younger specimens have narrow ring canal which follows closely outline of each
marginal lappet; in many older specimens ring canal apparently absent in places and perhaps in some is
completely lacking; an intermediate ring canal about 1/3 of radius in from margin, broad; centripetal to this is a
coarse, irregular anastomosing network of canals, connecting only with intermediate ring canal and not with
radial canals.
Peripheral to intermediate ring-canal a similar but finer meshwork, branchings become
increasingly more fine towards perimeter. Manubrium short, massive and translucent; concealed by 16 scapulets
upon it. Each scapulet small, inverted Y-shaped in section, bearing numerous mouthlets. The eight oral arms are
inverted Y-shaped in section, supporting two long, massive, outwardly-directed blades also bearing numerous
mouthlets.
Oral arms without lateral clubs and filaments, each arm with a large, translucent terminal club.
Four gonads, each a much convoluted lobe fundamentally forming most of a circle but not obvious due to
620

�convolutions. In older animals surface of gonad bearing grooves extending to its edge.

Ecology
Strobilation and the production of the ephyra stage seem restricted to the summer months; peak abundance of
mature medusae in late summer and autumn with large numbers cast ashore in autumn and winter storms.
Specimens living in deeper offshore waters will probably survive the winter and can be encountered as late as
June of the following year.
Depth range
Medusae are usually recorded at or near the water surface, but probably being more abundant in the (coastal)
water column as the result of the strong currents of ebb and flow and resting on the bottom during slack-water
periods.
World distribution
North and South Atlantic Oceans, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea.
Distribution in the Turkish coasts: Aegean Sea, Marmara Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea
Chrysaora hysoscella Linnaeus, 1767
Distribution: Belgian Coast, Dutch Exclusive Economic Zone European waters
Morphology: Umbrella flat smooth and thick, 15-49cm in diametar, the color is variable, but is characterized
by 16 v-shaped gold-brown or yellow-brown marks on the upper umbrella, radiating from the central region,
there are 24 marginal tentacles, which are easly broken off, and thirty-two pigmented semi-circular marginal
lappets. Present from half May until half September. Umbrella between 1 and 12 cm. Young medusa with
umbrella diameter less than 4 cm have only 8 tentacles and are hard to distinguish from Pelagia noctiluca
(Leloup, 1952, Russell, 1970). Small medusa (2-4cm) identified as Pelagia noctiluca (De Blauwe, 2001) were in
fact Chrysaora hyosescella. (C.hysoscella was very intensive around Marmara Sea, Çanakkale Strait and Aegean
Sea in 2009.Tentacles reached to 2.45 cm.(Ozalp,Alparslan,and Dogu,2009).
Cassiopea andromeda Forskäl, 1775 (Upside down jellyfish)
Description
This jellyfish usually lies mouth upward on the bottom, in calm shallow water, gently pulsating its bell to create
water flow over it's arms. The bell of Cassiopea is yellow-brown with white or pale spots and streaks. The
outstretched arms are also brownish with extended frilly tentacles. Adults can grow to 30 cm in diameter. They
are often mistaken as sea anemones. Habitat Cassiopea are typically found in shallow lagoons, intertidal sand or
mud flats, and around mangroves. Cassiopea feed on drifting zooplankton. Individuals also harbors
photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae that provides food to the jellyfish. The zooxanthellae live in the tissues on the
ventral surface of the jellyfish, and the jellyfish sits on the bottom upside-down to provide sunlight to the
symbiotic algae.
Distribution Hawaiian Islands Throughout main Hawaiian Islands. Native Range Indo-Pacific
Danger to humans and first aid
These jellyfish can deliver a painful sting. If stung, apply a cold pack to relieve the pain if necessary
Aurelia aurita Linnaeus, 1758
Life History
Sexual maturity in Aurelia aurita commonly occurs in the spring and summer. The eggs develop in gonads
located in pockets formed by the frills of the oral arms. The gonads are commonly the most recognizable part of
the animal, because of their deep and conspicuous coloration.
621

�Anemonia sulcata Pennant, 1777
A.sulcata has long tentacles and cnidoblast cells. .Approximately, that can reach 12-15 cm.long.Colors chances
yellow and viyola. Some effects of the sea anemone toxin, ATX-II, on vertebrate skeletal muscle have been
described. At a concentration of 1 X 10(-7)-1 X 10(-6)M, ATX-II caused a sodium-dependent depolarization of
the muscle fibres of the rat soleus and extensor digitorum longus, of the mouse soleus and extensor digitorum
longus and of the chicken posterior latissimus dorsi. The muscle fibres of the frog sartorius were insensitive to
the toxin. Action potentials generated by direct stimulation were prolonged by ATX-II, but the degree of
prolongation was variable. Chicken posterior latissimus dorsi muscle fibres were most sensitive in this regard,
and mouse extensor digitorum longus were least sensitive. Both denervated and immature muscle fibres were
more sensitive to ATX-II than mature innervated muscle fibres. The sensitivity to ATX-II declined rapidly as
muscle fibres matured. In some muscles, the prolongation of the action potential was enhanced by repetitive
stimulation, but not by the passive depolarization or hyperpolarization of the muscle fibres. The actions of ATXII could be reversed by washing in all but the innervated soleus of the mature rat.
Prevention
Wear protective clothing (gloves, wet suits, dive skins) when swimming in jellyfish-infested areas. Avoid
picking up dead jellyfish. Dead jellyfish may still have live nematocysts that can still release toxins (even after
they have dried up). Avoid going into known jellyfish-infested areas. If you do, know what type of jellyfish are
common to the area. Be prepared to treat a jellyfish sting. Have a basic first aid kit (make sure it has an oral
antihistamine in the kit) prepared and bring it with you. Take a course in basic first aid before heading to the
beach, snorkeling, swimming, or scuba diving. In the evening or at night when swimming, snorkeling, or scuba
diving, take care to look for jellyfish on the surface of the water. Expel air from the alternate air source while
ascending during scuba diving to disperse any jellyfish directly above you. Educate yourself as to the type of
jellyfish that may be in the waters in which you are swimming, snorkeling, or scuba diving. Bring Safe Sea
Jellyfish After Sting® pain relief gel in case you do get stung. Do not swim in waters where large numbers of
jellyfish have been reported. Wearing a wet suit or Lycra dive skin can prevent stings. If you have a known
insect sting allergy carry an allergy kit, which contains injectable epi-pens (epinephrine, adrenaline). Make
sure those with you know how to administer the epi-pen in case you are unable to do so. Do not touch any
marine life while swimming, snorkeling, or scuba diving. Most marine animals have a protective coating that
when touched, is rubbed off when and exposes the animal to bacteria and parasites; moreover, touching,
"playing," or moving marine animals is stressful for them. Corals are easily damaged when touched and the area
if the coral touched by hands, fins, or the body will die. To protect the ocean environment, when swimming,
snorkeling, or scubadiving look, don't touch, and leave only bubbles. Never use fresh water for the skin.
Jellyfish Stings Treatment
If you are stung by a box jellyfish, seek medical help immediately. While you are waiting for medical help,
flood the area with vinegar until medical help is available and keep as still as possible. If you are not close to
medical care, soak the area and tentacles for 10 minutes or more, before attempting to remove them. If the sting
is on the arms or legs, you can place a pressure dressing (like an ACE wrap used for a sprained ankle) around
the sting. Be careful that you do not stop blood flow - the fingers and toes should always stay pink. This will
help to slow down the spread of the toxin. For other jellyfish stings, soak or rinse the area in vinegar (acetic
acid) for 15-30 minutes to stop the nematocysts from releasing their toxins. If you do not have vinegar available,
rinse in sea water,70% isopropyl alcohol, or Safe Sea Jellyfish After Sting® pain relief gel. Do not use fresh
water. Fresh water will cause the nematocysts to continue to release their toxin. For the same reason, do not rub
the area, apply ice or hot water. Remove tentacles with a stick or a pair of tweezers. Wear gloves if you have
them available. Apply shaving cream or a paste of baking soda to the area. Shave the area with a razor or credit
card to remove any adherent nematocysts. Then reapply vinegar or alcohol. The shaving cream or paste
prevents nematocysts that have not been activated from releasing their toxin during removal with the razor. Eye
stings should be rinsed with a commercial saline solution like Artifical Tears; dab the skin around the eyes with
a towel that has been soaked in vinegar. Do not place vinegar directly in the eyes. Mouth stings should be
treated with 1/4 strength vinegar. Mix ¼ cup of vinegar with ¾ cup of water. Gargle and spit out the solution.
Do not drink or swallow the solution. For pain, take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325 mg 1-2 tablets every 4-6
hours for pain; or Ibuprofen (Motrin) or Aleve every 8 hours for pain. CPR may be necessary for all stings if the
person stops breathing and/or no longer has a pulse.

POJAM I ZNAČENJE NAČELA LEGALITETA U
KRIVIČNOM PRAVU
Sažetak
Načelo legaliteta ili zakonitosti je opštecivilizacijska tekovina koja po
svom značaju prelazi granice krivičnog prava. Propisujući krivična djela i
krivične sankcije za njih, krivičnim pravom štite se najznačajnije vrijednosti
jednog društva, određeni društveni i pravni poredak i osnovna prava i slobode
građana. Kako su krivične sankcije najteže sankcije pravnog poretka i znače
ozbiljan zahvat u najveće vrijednosti čovjeka, priznata je od svih potreba da
se djelatnost države na ovom području strogo pravno konstituiše, da se putem
zakona odrede pretpostavke i granice kažnjavanja i time osigura pravna
sigurnost građana. Usvajanjem načela zakonitosti, krivično pravo je to i
učinilo.
Ključne riječi: krivično djelo, krivično pravo, načelo legaliteta, blaži
zakon, retroaktivnost.

CONCEPT AND DEFINITION OF PRINCIPLE OF
LEGITIMACY IN CRMINAL LEGISLATION
Abstract
Principle of legitimacy is a general product of civilization which
exceeds the boundaries of criminal legislation. Prescribing criminal offences
and criminal sanctions for them, criminal legislation protects the most
significant values of a society, certain social and legal system and
fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens. Since criminal sanctions are the
most severe sanctions existing in a legal system and understand serious grasp
into the biggests values of a man, it has been widely acknowledged the need
of a state actions to be strictly and legally constituted in this field, to legally
determin assumptions and sanction limitations and, thereby, to ensure legal
protection of citizens. That's what the criminal legislation did by adopting the
principle of legitimacy.
Key words: criminal offence, criminal law, the principle of
legitimacy, the more lenient law, retroactivity.

reformi u BiH: Koliko daleko možemo ići?“

1. Pojam i uloga načela legaliteta u krivičnom pravu
Načelo legaliteta (zakonitosti) znači da niko ne može biti kažnjen za
djelo koje prije nego je učinjeno zakonom nije bilo propisano kao krivično
djelo i za koje nije bila propisana kazna. Uobičajeno se izražava poznatom
latinskom formulacijom nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege (nema
krivičnog djela ni kazne bez zakona), koja se pripisuje njemačkom teoretičaru
krivičnog prava Anselmu Fojerbahu (Anselm Feuerbach).1 Usvajanjem ovog
načela ostvaruje se garantivna funkcija krivičnog prava koja se u osnovi
sastoji u tome da se građanima garantuje da mogu biti suđeni i kažnjeni samo
za ono ponašanje koje je bilo zakonom predviđeno kao krivično djelo prije
nego je učinjeno. Na taj način pravna država ne samo da štiti građane
krivičnim pravom, već ih štiti i od krivičnog prava, sprečavajući samovoljno,
nepredvidivo kažnjavanje bez zakona ili kažnjavanje na osnovu neodređenog
ili retroaktivnog zakona.2 I dok se u drugim granama prava tolerišu određena
odstupanja od ovog načela, u krivičnom se pravu, zbog značaja i težine
krivičnih sankcija, zahtijeva da se ono bezuslovno uvažava i primjenjuje.3 U
protivnom, krivično pravo i zakon ne bi bili instrumenti zaštite, već kršenja
ljudskih prava.
U svom punom značenju ovo načelo predstavlja za građane važnu
garanciju od samovolje i arbitrarnosti u krivičnom pravosuđu kroz ostvarenje
sljedećih zahtjeva: u zahtjevu da je samo zakon izvor krivičnog prava
(nullum crimen sine lege scripta); u zahtjevu za zabranom analogije (nullum
crimen sine lege stricta); u zahtjevu za zabranom retroaktivnosti (nullum
crimen sine lege praevia); u zahtjevu određenosti koje nalaže da krivičnim
zakonom što je više moguće bude određeno ponašanje koje predstavlja
krivično djelo (nullum crimen sine lege certa) i u zahtjevu za zakonitosti u
kažnjavanju (nulla poena sine lege). Navedeni zahtjevi tek u svojoj ukupnosti
i jedinstvu obezbjeđuju punu primjenu ovog načela i sveobuhvatno
osiguranje zakonitosti na području krivičnog prava.4 Teško je reči koji je je
od ovih segmenata načela legaliteta najvažniji, ali ipak se čini da kada se o
njemu govori da se, prije svega, misli na zabranu povratnog dejstva krivičnog

KRIVIČNOM PRAVU

zakona, odnosno na načelo da zakon kojim se propisuje krivično djelo,
odnosno krivična sankcija djeluje samo za budućnost.5
Aleksis de Tokvil (1805-1859) načelo legaliteta označava kao
središnje načelo moderne evropske države napominjući da evropski narodi
strahuju od autoritarne vlasti, ali da se arbitrarne vlasti boje još više.6 U
pravnom životu evropskih naroda, od starog doba do danas, važilo je pravilo
da zakon nema povratne sile i da ne može dirati u pravne odnose koji su prije
njega postali.
Zahtjev za formalnim, striktnim poštovanjem načela legaliteta i
zabrane retroaktivnosti krivičnog djela i kazne bio bi zadovoljen dosljednom
primjenom zakona, ma kakav taj zakon bio, bez obzira na to kakvim
motivima se rukovodio zakonodavac u datom momentu. Ipak, iako je to
pravilo opštepriznato i izgleda prosto, jasno i nesporno, ono pri primjeni na
pojedine slučajeve postaje jedno od najtežih i najsloženijih pitanja u pravnoj
teoriji.7

2. Samo je zakon izvor krivičnog prava
Suština ovog zahtjeva iscrpljuje se donošenjem zakona kao
kriterijuma dozvoljenosti, odnosno nedozvoljenosti ponašanja. Drugim
riječima, zahtjev lex scripta isključuje primjenu nepisanog, prije svega
običajnog prava, kao neposrednog izvora prava, što je jedna od tekovina
čovjekove civilizacije i kulture i istovremeno jedna od osnovnih
karakteristika krivičnog prava.8 Odgovarajući pisani akti su zapravo
preduslov da se prilikom propisivanja krivičnih djela i sankcija obezbijedi
poštovanje i ostala tri segmenta načela zakonitosti.9
Obrnuto, ako bi i običaji bili formalni izvor krivičnog prava, uvijek
bi, ili bar u velikom broju slučajeva, bilo prilično neizvjesno i podložno
slobodnim tumačenjima, da li takva običajna norma zaista egzistira. To znači
da bi se prvo moralo dokazivati postojanje određene običajne norme, a tek bi

potom došla u obzir i njena primjena. Ovako nešto je u savremenom pravnom
sistemu nedopustivo, ne samo zbog „dokaznih teškoća“ u odnosu na
utvrđivanje postojanja norme, već prvenstveno zato što bi se na takav način
stvorio ogroman stepen pravne nesigurnosti u jednom izuzetno važnom
segmentu pravnog sistema.
U kontinentalnom pravu evropskih, latinoameričkih i drugih država u
potpunosti je isključena mogućnost da običajna pravna pravila budu
neposredni izvor prava na osnovu koga bi domaći sudija mogao neko lice da
osudi u krivičnom postupku. U angloameričkom pravu stanje je samo na prvi
pogled različito. Ni u tom pravnom sistemu običajno pravo nije samo po sebi
izvor krivičnog prava, s tim što neka djela mogu nastati u sudskim
presedanima.10
Krivično pravo je dakle zakonsko pravo, što znači da je zakon
primarni oblik postojanja krivičnog prava.11 Izuzetno, običajno pravo može
se javiti kao posredni izvor krivičnog prava kada se sam zakon u opisima
zakonskih bića nekih krivičnih djela poziva na određena običajna pravila, kao
npr. kod određenog broja krivičnih djela protiv čovječnosti i pravila
međunarodnog prava (glava XVII Krivičnog zakona Bosne i Hercegovine12)
ili, isto tako, kada koristi neke pojmove čije tumačenje zavisi od običajnih
pravila.

3. Zabranjena je analogija u krivičnom pravu
Analogija je tumačenje po sličnosti. Primjenom analogije jedan propis
bi se primjenjivao i na slučaj koji nije predviđen. Prema načelu legaliteta i
njegovim zahtjevima, analogija je, kao sredstvo za stvaranje novih krivičnih
djela, striktno zabranjena (analogia legis). Zabrana analogije podrazumijeva i
zabranu pravne analogije (analogia juris) koja se sastoji u uspostavljanju
kažnjavanja pozivanjem na opšta pravna načela cjelokupnog pravnog
sistema, pozivanjem na duh pravnog poretka u cjelini i opšte pravne stavove,
a sve radi toga da bi se time obuhvatio i neki slučaj koji nije obuhvaćen u
krivičnopravnoj normi.13

KRIVIČNOM PRAVU

Ako bi se u krivičnom pravu priznala analogija, onda bi organi koji
primjenjuju propise krivičnog prava mogli proširivati uslove za primjenu
krivične sankcije, a to bi bilo protivno načelu legaliteta koje je osnovno
načelo krivičnog prava. Prema tome, ako zakonom nisu obuhvaćeni neki
odnosi koje bi trebalo regulisati krivičnim pravom, zakon se mora dopuniti ili
izmijeniti, a do tada se mora primjenjivati postojeći zakon bez obzira na
opravdanost drukčijeg rješenja14.
Analogija se u krivičnom materijalnom pravu zabranjuje, prije svega,
iz razloga pravne sigurnosti, jer bi bilo nedopustivo i potencijalno izuzetno
plodotvorno za teške zloupotrebe da se takvim širokim metodom tumačenja
pravnih praznina praktično omogućava kreiranje novih inkriminacija ili
njihovih dijelova, odnosno drugih krivičnopravnih odredbi, koje inače nisu
striktno propisane zakonskim normama.15 Suprotno ovome, načelo
zakonitosti ne isključuje analogiju u krivičnom postupku. Neriješenost neke
pravne situacije u zakonu ne može biti razlog da sud koji vodi postupak,
odbije donošenje odluke ili obustavi postupak. U krivičnom procesnom pravu
dopuštena je analogija jer krivično procesno pravo, zbog svoje izrazite
složenosti i velike međusobne povezanosti i međuuslovljenosti njegovih
odredbi, ostavlja daleko veći prostor za postojanje pravnih praznina nego
krivično materijalno pravo.16 Sem toga, primjenom analogije u krivičnom
procesnom pravu načelno je daleko manje moguće povrijediti nečija prava i
slobode nego što bi to bio slučaj sa njenom primjenom u krivičnom
materijalnom pravu.

4. Određenost zakonskih opisa bitnih elemenata krivičnih djela
Zahtjev određenosti nullum crimen sine lege certa nalaže da
krivičnopravne norme u što je moguće višem stepenu budu određene i
precizne. Lex certa znači da u krivičnom zakonu mora u što većoj mjeri biti
precizno određeno ponašanje koje predstavlja krivično djelo (radnja
izvršenja, izvršilac) i kazna za njega, kao i ostali objektivni i subjektivni
elementi.17 Zakonski opisi treba da su u pogledu svoje određenosti takvi da
predstavljaju dovoljno sigurnu osnovu za sudsku praksu, da se objektivno

mogu odrediti sadržaj, smisao i domet norme.18 U krivičnom pravu, što je
moguće više, treba izbjegavati neodređene norme kao što su npr. generalne
klauzule. Jasnoća i preciznost u određivanju bića krivičnih djela predstavljaju
sredstvo za ograničavanje prava države na kažnjavanje i zaštitu građana od
samovolje i nejednakosti.19
Neodređena zakonska bića krivičnih djela i uopšte neodređeni propisi
predstavljaju veliku opasnost za načelo pravne sigurnosti. Ako su bića
krivičnih djela neodređena, difuzna, ako se iz njih jasno ne vidi šta se
kažnjava, otvara se mogućnost da se princip zakonitosti zaobilazi u praksi.20

5. Zabrana retroaktivnosti
Suština neretroaktivnosti je da osoba ne može biti osuđena ni
kažnjena, osim ako je dato ponašanje odranije propisano kao krivično djelo.21
Jedan od osnovnih načela važenja pravnih normi polazi od toga da norma ne
može da važi prije nego što je stupila na pravnu snagu, jer ako bi se drukčije
stvar postavila, postojala bi potpuna neizvjesnost u pogledu punovažnosti
stečenih prava, ispunjenja obaveza, dozvoljenosti određenih ponašanja i
utvrđivanja određenih odnosa.22 To bi dovelo do pravne nesigurnosti. Ako
zakon može određene radnje naknadno proglasiti za krivična djela, građanin
ne može nikad biti siguran da li će biti pozvan na odgovornost.23
Zabrana retroaktivnosti krivičnih zakona direktno je povezana sa
zabranom analogije. Sem toga, dešava se i da povreda zahtjeva sine lege
certa preraste u povredu sine lege previa, jer je odredba toliko neodređena da
građani tek ex post facto saznaju u čemu je suština krivičnog djela.
U prilog načela neretroaktivnosti uopšte ističe se i stara maksima lex
posterior derogat priori. Starije pravo se povlači pred novim ako je isti
pravni odnos regulisan novim pravom. U stvari, smisao i razlog nastanka
novog prava je u tome da zamijeni staro pravo i da ubuduće novo pravo

KRIVIČNOM PRAVU

zauzme mjesto starog prava, s tim da novo pravo važi od dana svog nastanka
i da je okrenuto budućnosti, a ne prošlosti.
Suštinski, zabrana retroaktivnosti krivičnih zakona temelji se na
načelu pravne sigurnosti. Djelo je moralo zakonom biti određeno kao
krivično djelo prije nego što je bilo izvršeno; uopšte, cjelokupnost svih
materijalnopravnih pretpostavki za kažnjavanje i za primjenu drugih sankcija
određuje se prema zakonu koji je vrijedio u vrijeme izvršenja djela24.

6. Određenost kazne
Zahtjev nulla poena sine lege štiti interese slične onima koji su
zaštićeni zahtjevom nullum crimen sine lege. Iako je zahtjev načela legaliteta
da kazna mora biti određena zakonom postavljen kao samostalan, logično je
da načelo zakonitosti i zabrana retroaktivne primjene krivičnog zakona
istovremeno označavaju i zakonitost u izricanju krivičnopravnih sankcija.
Načelo zakonitosti se prvobitno pojavljuje kao načelo zakonitosti djela
(nullum crimen sine lege), a odmah zatim i kao princip zakonitosti kazne
(nulla poena sine lege) tako da u jedinstvu ova dva elementa doživljava
potpuno oživotvorenje.25
Da bi krivično pravo bilo pravedno, pojedinac treba da zna kakve su
posljedice u slučaju da prekrši krivični zakon. To se naročito ogleda u
zahtjevu da se odrede bliže pravila za odmjeravanje kazne, da se još više
preciziraju svi uslovi odgovornosti, kao i uslovi za krivične sankcije i njihove
granice, da se definišu svi osnovni pojmovi koji se upotrebljavaju u opštem
dijelu, ukratko da se što preciznije odrede sve pretpostavke kažnjivosti26. U
većini nacionalnih sistema ovaj zahtjev ispoštovan je propisivanjem krivičnih
sankcija u određenom rasponu za svako krivično djelo. Na taj način
ograničena je potencijalna zloupotreba prava sudija da odmjeravaju kazne
shodno nekom svom individualnom ubjeđenju. Sem toga, primjenom ovog
zahtjeva ujednačava se i kaznena politika za ista djela.27

7. Princip blažeg zakona
Pošto je načelo legaliteta dinamičko pravno načelo, postoje i određena
odstupanja od njegovog striktnog značenja. Tako se iz razloga pravednosti i
ograničavanja represije uspostavilo i načelo primjene blažeg, kasnijeg zakona
(dozvola retroaktivnosti).28 Dok načelo neretroaktivnosti znači da se novi
zakon ne može primijeniti na ranija fakta, prema retroaktivnosti in mitius,
novi zakon se može primijeniti ukoliko je za učinioca povoljniji od starog, tj.
od onog koji je bio na snazi u vrijeme izvršenja krivičnog djela.29
Na prvi pogled, načelo neretroaktivnosti i retroaktivnosti in mitius
djeluju kontradiktorno, pa se postavljalo pitanje da li se mogu dovesti u sklad
ili se prednost ipak treba dati jednom od njih.30 Kako su se počele javljati
situcije u kojima se upravo zabranjena retroaktivnost javljala kao posljednja
šansa za prevazilaženje normativne tenzije, postalo je jasno da bi bilo
neprihvatljivo kažnjavati ponašanja koja su u međuvremenu u određenom
društvu prestala da budu smatrana opasnim, čak i ukoliko su takvim smatrana
kada su preduzeta. Stoga je načelu legaliteta, da ne bi bilo potpuno
obesmišljeno, moralo biti pridodato suštinski suprotno načelo – ono koje bi u
ovakvim slučajevima predviđalo mogućnost primjene kasnijeg, blažeg
zakona.31
7.1. Opšte pretpostavke za primjenu načela blažeg zakona
Pitanje primjene novog, blažeg zakona javlja se u onim situacijama
kada je krivično djelo izvršeno u vrijeme važenja jednog zakona a do
donošenja pravnosnažne presude zakon je izmijenjen jednom ili više puta.32
Da bi se u konkretnom slučaju mogao primijeniti blaži zakon (lex mitior),
mora se utvrditi da li je to zakon koji je bio na snazi u vrijeme počinjenja
djela ili kasnije donesen zakon. Govori se o sukobu dva zakona u vremenu.

�Miodrag N. Simović, Vladimir M. Simović: POJAM I ZNAČENJE NAČELA LEGALITETA U
KRIVIČNOM PRAVU

Prvo, mora se utvrditi kada je odnosno djelo učinjeno (vrijeme
izvršenja krivičnog djela) i koji je zakon u to vrijeme bio na snazi (vrijeme
važenja krivičnog zakona). Ovi pojmovi se ne smiju miješati.
Pitanje blažeg zakona rješava se in concreto, dakle ne uopštenim
upoređivanjem dva zakona, već se s obzirom na konkretan slučaj ispituje da li
je pozicija učinioca povoljnija po starom ili po novom zakonu. Pri tome je
odlučno po kome su zakonu veće mogućnosti za povoljniju, tj. blažu
presudu.33 U tom kontekstu, mogu se javiti različite situacije. Tako npr. kada
poredimo dva zakona, svakako će za učinioca biti blaži onaj koji konkretno
ponašanje uopšte ne predviđa kao krivično djelo.34 Blaži je, dalje krivični
zakon koji isključuje krivicu ili uvodi razlog za isključenje protivpravnosti ili
isključuje gonjenje ili ga uslovljava prijedlogom ili privatnom tužbom. Isto
tako, blaži je onaj zakon koji predviđa blažu vrstu kazne ili niži minimum
kazne iste vrste ili niži minimum kazne ili niži maksimum kazne kraj istog
minimuma. Konačno, blaži je i onaj zakon koji za takav slučaj ne predviđa
sporednu kaznu ili njenu obligatornu primjenu zamjenjuje fakultativnom. 35
Zatim, postavlja se pitanje kako da se presudi slučaj ako novi zakon
za isto djelo predviđa doduše kaznu iste vrste, ali propisuje viši maksimum i
istovremeno niži minimum te kazne nego što je to slučaj sa starim zakonom.
Ispravan je odgovor da u takvom slučaju treba primijeniti novi zakon jer daje
mogućnost povoljnije presude od starog, ali se primjenom tog novog zakona
ne bi smjela izreći kazna iznad maksimuma predviđenog po starom zakonu.
Postavlja se pitanje kako postupiti i u situaciji ako je zakon nakon
izvršenja djela do presuđenja mijenjan više puta, kada su u tom vremenu bili
na snazi tzv. međuzakoni ili interimni zakoni. Ispravan je odgovor da u tom
slučaju treba primijeniti zakon najblaži za učinioca, pa makar to bio i
interimni zakon, koji nije važio u vrijeme izvršenja krivičnog djela i koji je
prestao da važi u vrijeme donošenja presude.36

Prilikom ocjene koji je zakon blaži za učinioca, osnovna pravila za
donošenje odluke o blažem zakonu postavljena su još početkom prošlog
vijeka. Od dva krivična zakona blaži se mora primijeniti u cjelini.
U krivičnopravnoj teoriji postoje brojna shvatanja o ovom važnom
pitanju. Prema doktrini tzv. bezuslovne, apsolutne zabrane retroaktivnosti
krivičnih zakona, koja ima oslonac u klasičnoj koncepciji o strogoj primjeni
načela zakonitosti, primjena novog zakona je nedozvoljena, jer se
retroaktivnom primjenom krši načelo zakonitosti, unosi pravna nesigurnost i
omogućava kažnjavanje čak i za djela koja nisu imala karakter krivičnih
djela. Prema ovoj teoriji, treba i opravdano je primijeniti samo onaj zakon
koji je važio u vrijeme izvršenja krivičnog djela. Primjena kasnijih zakona, pa
i kad su blaži, nepravedna je i neopravdana.37
Prema doktrini apsolutne retroaktivnosti zakona, retroaktivna
primjena novog zakona je normalna i logička. Novi zakon treba primijeniti
bez obzira na to da li je blaži za učinioca. To znači mogućnost da se iz
različitih motiva, pa i političkih, donese jedan novi krivični zakon da bi se
neke osobe kao npr. politički protivnici, kaznile za djela koja uopšte nisu bila
kažnjiva u vrijeme kada su izvršena.38 To je retrogradno shvatanje koje
eliminiše načelo zakonitosti i njegove osnovne postavke i tekovine. 39
Treće shvatanje polazi od načela zakonitosti i mogućeg izuzetka kao
društvene opravdanosti primjene retroaktivnosti. Prema ovom shvatanju,
retroaktivna primjena zakona je zabranjena, osim u slučaju kada je on blaži
za učinioca krivičnog djela. Ovakav stav proizilazi iz potrebe očuvanja
sigurnosti pravnog poretka, bezbjednosti društva, pravičnosti i humanog
odnosa prema učiniocu krivičnog djela.40 Pravilo o primjeni povoljnijeg
zakona u materiji krivičnog prava je postalo opšte mišljenje i prihvatila ga je
većina savremenih krivičnih zakonodavstava.41 Na ovaj način je načelo
legaliteta dopunjeno pravilom obavezne primjene blažeg zakona.

KRIVIČNOM PRAVU

7.2. Afirmacija načela legaliteta kroz istoriju i njegov značaj danas
Načelo legaliteta danas predstavlja temeljno i najvažnije načelo
krivičnog prava, odnosno krivičnog zakonodavstva. Do svog ustanovljenja u
savremenom krivičnom pravu u navedenom obliku ovo načelo prošlo je dug
istorijski put.
Prema većini izvora, načelo zakonitosti se prvi put proklamuje u članu
39 čuvene Magna carta libertatum (Velika povelja sloboda) iz 1215. godine,
koja je nastala kao izraz otpora britanskog plemstva arbitrarnom ponašanju
monarha.42 Svoju punu afirmaciju ovo načelo doživljava u 18. vijeku, i to
najprije u ustavima nekih američkih država (Virdžinija i Merilend, 1776.), a
elemente ovog načela poznaje i austrijski Krivični zakonik Jozefa II iz 1787.
godine.
Prvi politički dokument u kome je precizno izraženo načelo legaliteta
u krivičnom pravu, kao važna garancija od samovolje i arbitrarnosti koja je
do tada vladala, jeste poznata francuska Deklaracija o ljudskim i građanskim
pravima iz 1789. godine. Prvi revolucionarni Krivični zakonik Francuske iz
1791. godine čvrsto stoji na načelu zakonitosti. Jakobinski ustav iz 1793.
godine sadržavao je neobičnu formulaciju načela nullum crimen nulla poena
sina lege koja je glasila da niko ne smije biti suđen ni kažnjen osim na
osnovu zakona koji je proglašen prije izvršenja krivičnog djela. Sva ova
shvatanja imala su za osnov pravilo moneat lex priusquam feriat, sasvim je
pravedno da zakon opomene prije nego što kazni.43 Poslije toga, dva
kodifikovana zakonika, francuski Krivični zakonik (Code pénal) iz 1810.
godine, poznat i kao Napoleonov krivični zakonik i bavarski Krivični zakonik
iz 1813. godine, čiji je glavni tvorac njemački teoretičar Fojerbah, a koja
čvrsto prihvataju načelo legaliteta - poslužila su kao uzor brojnih krivičnih
zakonika donesenih u tom vremenu.44
Analizirajući razvojni put ovog načela evidentno je da su njegovi
korijeni u nacionalnim zakonodavstvima vezani za sljedeće faktore: (1) uticaj
političkog liberalizma, čiji jedan od osnovnih postulata predstavlja načelo
zakonitosti, koje je brana političkom i pravnom apsolutizmu; (2) demokratija

i podjela vlasti – to načelo i posebno u njemu sadržana zabrana retroaktivnog
dejstva krivičnopravnih normi, važan su segment podjele vlasti, koja u
osnovi počiva na idejama Monteskjea; (3) generalna prevencija – u duhu
učenja Fojerbaha načelo zakonitosti je važan element opšte prevencije, kao
jedna vrsta unaprijed poznate prijetnje za slučaj izvršenja krivičnog djela; (4)
načelo krivice je takođe povezano sa načelom zakonitosti, jer se ne može
govoriti o nečijoj krivici, ukoliko krivično djelo kao takvo nije bilo propisano
prije njegovog izvršenja.45
Nesumnjivo je da načelo legaliteta ima veliki značaj za položaj
čovjeka u jednom društvu i pravnom sistemu. Zato bi u svim demokratskim
pravnim sistemima, odnosno uređenoj pravnoj državi koja se odlikuje
vladavinom prava, načelo zakonitosti moralo biti u punoj mjeri imanentno,
bez ostavljanja pravnih mogućnosti za stvaranje izuzetaka koji bi ovo načelo
u manjoj ili većoj mjeri derogirali, jer bi se to, istovremeno, svodilo na
opasno ugrožavanje ljudskih prava i sloboda.46
Ipak, put uvođenja ovog načela u krivično zakonodavstvo nije
protekao bez teškoća. Kao izraz liberalizma negirali su ga totalitaristički
režimi 20. vijeka, i to najprije Rusija, poslije Revolucije 1917. godine, a
zatim i nacionalsocijalistička Njemačka, koja je Novelom Krivičnog zakona
iz 1935. godine omogućila, pored kažnjavanja na osnovu zakona, i
kažnjavanje na osnovu „zdravog narodnog osjećanja.“47 U Njemačkoj je ovo
načelo ponovo uspostavljeno po završetku Drugog svjetskog rata, a potkraj
1958. godine ponovo ga prihvata i tadašnji Sovjetski Savez, kao i neke druge
socijalističke države koje su ga, po uzoru na Sovjetski Savez, bile napustile.48
Danas, u većini država kontinentalne Evrope načelo legaliteta nije
samo jedno od osnovnih načela krivičnog prava, koje se danas smatra
opšteprihvaćenim u državama koje se odlikuju vladavinom prava, već je ono
zbog svog značaja podignuto u rang ustavnog načela, kao i načela
međunarodnog krivičnog prava, a kao takvo svrstano je i u katalog osnovnih
ljudskih prava.49 Tako, član 103 stav 2 Osnovnog zakona SR Njemačke koji
ima ustavni rang, sadrži striktno formulisano pravilo nullum crimen, nulla

poena sine lege i utvrđuje da krivični zakon mora biti pisan, zabranjuje
kažnjavanje na temelju običajnog prava, te propisuje pravilo lex certa, prema
kome ne samo opis bića krivičnog djela, već i pravne posljedice moraju biti
zakonom striktno određeni.
Više od četiri petine država članica Ujedinjenih nacija priznaje načelo
zabrane retroaktivnosti krivičnog djela (nullum crimen) u svojim ustavima,
pa i mnoge vanevropske države. Uz to, preko tri četvrtine država članica
Ujedinjenih nacija primjenjuje i načelo neretroaktivnosti teže kazne (nulla

Garancije sadržane u članu 7 Evropske konvencije predstavljaju jedan
od osnovnih činilaca vladavine prava i zauzimaju istaknuto mjesto u sistemu
ostvarivanja prava zaštićenih Evropskom konvencijom. Značaj člana 7
Evropske konvencije ogleda se i u činjenici da, u skladu sa članom 15
Evropske konvencije, nije dopušteno odstupanje od primjene garancija
ustanovljenih članom 7 Evropske konvencije ni u vrijeme rata ili druge javne
opasnosti. Član 7 Evropske konvencije se mora tumačiti i primjenjivati na
način kojim se osigurava uspješna zaštita od arbitrarnog gonjenja, osude i
kazne. Dalje, član 7 stav 1 ne garantuje samo princip zabrane retroaktivne
primjene strožijeg krivičnog zakona već, takođe, implicitno, princip
retroaktivne primjene blažeg krivičnog zakona. Taj princip je sadržan u
pravilu da kad postoji razlika između krivičnog zakona koji je važio u
vrijeme izvršenja krivičnog djela i krivičnih zakona koji su doneseni i koji su
stupili na snagu nakon toga, a prije donošenja pravnosnažne presude, sudovi
moraju primijeniti zakon čije su odredbe najpovoljnije za optuženog.52

odlučuju o vlastitim politikama kažnjavanja, ali, pri tome, i dalje se moraju
pridržavati člana 7 Evropske konvencije.53
Dovodeći u vezu okolnosti slučaja u predmetu Zorana Damjanovića54
sa citiranim stavovima Evropskog suda za ljudska prava, te stavovima
zauzetim u predmetu Maktouf i Damjanović, Ustavni sud BiH smatra da i u
konkretnom slučaju postoji realna mogućnost da je retroaktivna primjena
Krivičnog zakona BiH bila na apelantovu štetu u pogledu izricanja kazne, a
što je protivno članu 7 stav 1 Evropske konvencije. Ustavni sud BiH
zaključuje da je osporenim presudama Suda BiH došlo do kršenja člana 7
stav 1 Evropske konvencije zbog pogrešne primjene zakona u odnosu na
krivicu i kaznu, te se osporene presude moraju ukinuti u cijelosti.

ZAKLJUČAK
Četiri temeljna segmenta načela legaliteta (lex scripta, praevia, certa i
stricta) zamišljena su tako da zajedno sačine formulu koja je dovoljna da
zaštiti pojedinca od samovoljnog kažnjavanja, omogućavajući tako
„ispravno“ i predvidivo, izvjesno krivično pravo. Bez izvjesnosti, nijedan
poredak ne može da postoji, jer neizvjestan poredak je i nesiguran poredak.
Zato je danas ovo načelo u velikom broju država podignuto u rang ustavnog
načela, a prihvaćeno je i kao načelo međunarodnog krivičnog prava.
Retroaktivnost in mitius kojom se dopušta retroaktivna primjena blažeg
zakona, opšteprihvaćen je izuzetak od legaliteta u klasičnom, striktnom
značenju, koji ni u kom slučaju ne dovodi u pitanje njegovu osnovnu funkciju
- zaštitu društva od arbitrarnog ponašanja kako pojednaca, tako i sudskih
organa.

8 items for personal accomplishment. The instrument consisted of these
22 (items) questions are answered on a 1-5 likert scales labeled “strongly
disagree” (1) and “strongly agree” (5). Additionally, our research
questionnaire includes 7 items to determine demographic variables (such
as age, sexuality, vocational experience, marital status, service unit,
vocational status, education level) of police officers. SPSS 20.0 is used for

Tourism is a rapidly growing industry with economic, social and political
outcomes. Cultural exchange, peace, goodwill and understanding are
considered as positive impacts of international tourism flows. Natural and
cultural attractions, geographical proximity, convenient transportation
systems, safety and security issues impact tourism demand to a
destination. Although it lacks the attention it deserves; international
politics and economic relations are also important factors affecting tourist
flows between countries. In this context Turkey has been playing a pioneer
role in establishing stronger relations with Balkan countries. This paper
explores impact of political and economic agreements on incoming tourism
in the light of Bosnia Herzegovina and Turkey within the past decade.
Besides having land in Balkans geographically, Turkey has strong historic,
cultural and political ties with Balkan geography. Those relations that were
established during the reign of Ottoman Empire in the region have been
developing during the Turkish Republic as well. Bosnia Herzegovina is not
an exception of this relationship. Common culture and heritage with
Turkey made Bosnia Herzegovina among popular destinations for Turkish
Citizens. Although there was a considerable amount of migration to/from

Bosnia Herzegovina and Turkey, there still is a large amount of Turkish
origin citizens in Bosnia Herzegovina and vice versa.
Over the last ten years both Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina have been
undergoing a major transformation both economically and politically.
Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina have also been enjoying rapid tourism
growth for the past decade, despite global problems such as economic
crises (e.g. mortgage funds), acts of terrorism (e.g. 9/11), wars and
conflicts (e.g. Iraq), epidemics (e.g. H5N1) an extreme weather conditions
(e.g. volcanic ash clouds). The current situation and reasons behind the
development of bipolar tourist movements within these countries are
discussed based on economic and political facts and tourism statistics.
Revealing the political and economic factors affecting tourism demand
between countries might provide a better understanding of prediction and
management of international tourism flows.
Keywords: Political and Economic Factors, Tourism, Bosnia Herzegovina,
Turkey.

                <text>Tourism is a rapidly growing industry with economic, social and political  outcomes. Cultural exchange, peace, goodwill and understanding are  considered as positive impacts of international tourism flows. Natural and  cultural attractions, geographical proximity, convenient transportation  systems, safety and security issues impact tourism demand to a  destination. Although it lacks the attention it deserves; international  politics and economic relations are also important factors affecting tourist  flows between countries. In this context Turkey has been playing a pioneer  role in establishing stronger relations with Balkan countries. This paper  explores impact of political and economic agreements on incoming tourism  in the light of Bosnia Herzegovina and Turkey within the past decade.  Besides having land in Balkans geographically, Turkey has strong historic,  cultural and political ties with Balkan geography. Those relations that were  established during the reign of Ottoman Empire in the region have been  developing during the Turkish Republic as well. Bosnia Herzegovina is not  an exception of this relationship. Common culture and heritage with  Turkey made Bosnia Herzegovina among popular destinations for Turkish  Citizens. Although there was a considerable amount of migration to/from Bosnia Herzegovina and Turkey, there still is a large amount of Turkish  origin citizens in Bosnia Herzegovina and vice versa.  Over the last ten years both Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina have been  undergoing a major transformation both economically and politically.  Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina have also been enjoying rapid tourism  growth for the past decade, despite global problems such as economic  crises (e.g. mortgage funds), acts of terrorism (e.g. 9/11), wars and  conflicts (e.g. Iraq), epidemics (e.g. H5N1) an extreme weather conditions  (e.g. volcanic ash clouds). The current situation and reasons behind the  development of bipolar tourist movements within these countries are  discussed based on economic and political facts and tourism statistics.  Revealing the political and economic factors affecting tourism demand  between countries might provide a better understanding of prediction and  management of international tourism flows.

Abstract: This research paper analyzes the effect of political ideology on political and voting
behavior. It is obvious that political believes and ideologies have an impact on voting
behavior, however the extension of its effects is open to discussion. This study is based mainly
on primary sources and the target group of the study is university students in Albania. The
quantitative method is employed in this research in the form of survey questionnaire
conducted by the students of higher education (universities) in Albania. The main aim of the
study is to find out how much political ideology has influence in political and voting behavior.
In this survey students are given an option to identify themselves in a given spectrum of
'extreme left' to 'extreme right'. In addition, the students are also asked for their affiliation
with political ideologies seeing themselves as socialist, social democrat, liberal, nationalist
etc. In a country where political party identification is quite evident and this identification is
closely linked with the political party leaders, political ideology can be considered as a major
influence in voting behavior. According to the data accumulated by the survey, almost half of
the total respondent students consider themselves as socialist or social democrats which make
combination of the two bigger than liberals, thus showing an obvious inclination towards
leftist politics. This might be interpreted as an indicator of the broad influence of the Socialist
Party led left wing coalition in power.
Keywords: Political ideology, Voting, Albania, University students, Political behavior.

Political situation and its influence on economy
Muhamed Mulahmetović
International Burch University / Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this research paper is to analyze is there any relationship
or influence between politics and the economy. The research is constructed
from two parts. The first part that is going to be analyzed is the political
situation between two or more countries and its reflection to the economy of
those countries. This includes also different types of agreements on bilateral
bases and their participations in different organizations (WTO, APEC,
NAFTA…). In that part we will present the FDI diversification according to
the political situation between the countries. Also we will provide what kinds
of risks are attached to the political situation. The second part of the study will
be focused on the internal political situation of one country and its reflection
to the domestic economy of that country. To answer the main question which
is: “Does the political situation influence the economy?”- Different literature
has been used. I decided to answer this question because there was no relevant
study about this. Also, it is a good platform to analyze this topic more deeply
in the future and find good relation between politics and economy. Through
the study we will analyze different scenario cases which have been proven in
the past and compare them with the findings of the study. I will also provide
result that there is a certain relationship between politics and economy,
depending at what kind of situation we have.

Abstract

There exist certain historical premises and foundations thought to render the
idiosyncratic structure of the European/western civilization possible. One of
the most important domain related to these foundations and premises is the
political -space philosophy along with the European Universalism that
stemmed from the European history of political roots. The political space
centered on the Polis (city-state) in the ancient Greek political sphere is
replaced the "world state" thought of the Cynic and Stoic philosophers of the
Ancient Hellenistic and Roman political spheres. The early Catholic
Christian philosopher St. Augustine and the late Catholic philosopher St.
Thomas converge to a great extent on a universalism and "world" domain
while the Protestant politician is rather related to the modern nation state
notion. The Dante of the late middle age and the early modernism had a
more secular conception of universalism and "world state" in terms of
political space. These Western approaches can be viewed in relation with the
"European Universalism" framework set by the Wallerstein. The goal of this
study is not to investigate the European Union or the process of Turkey's
European Union membership per se. Rather, the goal is restricted to the
investigation of the historical background of this phenomenon incorporating
the European Universalism approach.
Key Words: Political Thoughts, Political- space, West/Europe, World State,
European Universalism, and European Union.

Introduction:
The Greek Political Thought and the Polis as the Best Political Space
When the European thought is viewed from a historical perspective from the beginning it
can be seen that the primary question was the best type of state or governance. Although
the near antique philosophers including Platon and Aristotle suggested different opinions
with respect to the attributes of best state or best forms of governance, one common feature
of their view was the general appreciation for political space without further discussions.
Even though the political systems that the philosophers adhered differs to a large degree, it
is evident that the polis, the city states were adopted by the philosophers as the best space
for the application of the political systems per se (Ebenstein, 1996, p. 27-29; Tannenbaum
and Schultz, 2010, p. 72-74). At this stage, a city beyond the boundaries of a city-state was
not identified as the best. The notion of best here is at the heart of universally valid truth.

The ancient empire that was built by Alexender the Great did not lead to a political space
philosophy that differs from the Greek Philosophy of its age. As for Platon, the philosopher
who resembles the philosophical thought of the ancient Greek, the polis was the most
convenient political space so it was for his pupil Aristotle, the tutor of the Alexander the
Great.
Not only for the philosophers but also for the different social strata the polis was the focal
in the design of the community life. Citizenship denoted the identification with the polis
which one belonged at that age where the communal and personal categorizations such as
slavery, foreignness, citizenship were valid. By a kind of early Eurocentric distinction,
being a Greek not being a Barbarian and being a part of the Greek civilization was
primarily related with the polis, the political space of that era. The population those city
states varied between 2000-10000. The population of Athens exceeded 100000 from time
to time. There was a collective desire to keep the population at a level which ensured the
familiarity among the people in the community. Organic state life was the case for the
polices as the ideal and the actual best political space.

Political space was also related to social structure and properly regime. Those who were
entitled to be citizens’ higher social status and have the right to hold property. Those who
did not have a citizenship bound to the city were lower in the social status hierarch. They
did not have right to have property in the example of slavery. Besides the common beliefs
or rituals each polis had peculiar belief gods and rituals. Briefly, it was not European wide,
worldwide, empire wide or a nationwide political space theory or practice without
determine marked the Ancient Greek sphere. The political and humanities war focus
consisted of and was determined by state in the Polis form. The collective and public
identity which had belonged to the Polis was above and beyond individual and private
identity. Moreover there was no evident social emphasis that was separated from state by
Platon and Aristo. The political place which is called the Polis were both societal political
and social per se and these characteristics were bound to each other within on organic
integration.
Helenistic and Roman Political thought Transtion from Polis World State
When we rule out of the Greek sphere of the antique Europe from geographic and
historical aspects and take Hellenistic and roman political thought into account, it can be
see that there is a paradigm sight toward quest and philosophy of political thought and
political space on a world scale centered on the Polis. Another way of saying, following
the Ancient Greek when we look at schools of antiquity such as Cynics and Stoah we can
observe certain paradigm shift around the issue of political space. They envision a
universal world state beyond the imagination of city- state “nation state”, “empire” or
“European Union”.
This new political place philosophe donates a critique against the Greek word and a
notable innovation. There upon while the political space expands beyond the city scale and
European Union side, leapingto several world scale, the superiority of public over private
and collecting over individuality ends. A more individual centered world-scale political
space philosophy emerges. On practice, essentially for the Roman and Macedonians before
them smalljurispendenceof local governments in the real politic. The new real politic of
world emprialism individual must come to terms with the idea that he is the part of a

2

complex political space full of foreign people and thoughts (Ebenstein, 1996; p. 57;
Tannenbaum and Schultz, 2010, p.104-104; Frank and Gills, 2003, p.246). When
compared with the citizens of the city-state, the citizens of the new empyreal faced with
double anxiety. First, they were at a more intensely faith individual domain and from they
were entrapped in more universal realism than before perceptively. In this venin, when the
issue is the best state or the best government, the political thought suggests the world state
concept drawing on a universal idea. In the non-Greek but Helenistic political of the
Antique Europe not only sphere vision of space expanded but also the nation of individual
cosmopolitism and “world citizenship” also value. Considering of the interaction between
the imaginative political thought and the social economic and political reality, Polises are
focused to unite morale, to overcome the problems of self-sufficiency stemming from
being a small state to protect against the Macedonian and Persian threats.
In the Hellenistic philosopher ancient era virtue/knowledge cosmopolitism political space
or state philosophy were interactively operationalized, accommodating each other. A
person who has knowledge/wisdom/virtue/ turns into type of person who acts in a worldscale perspective, detaching himself from his local bounds. There is no one culture,
tradition, no one peculiar nationalism, religion or language for this person. The cynics who
criticize the local state thought instead suggest a world state where all human-beings have
equal citizens Hence, the city state philosophy of the Antique Greek expanded radically.
City focused citizenship thought practice and theory was forsakenfor world citizenship
thought. Going from Stoics toward Hellenistic’s at the same time means to evolve from the
Hellenistic world to Roman world. Running approximately from BC 300 to AD 200
Stoicism was one of the most eras;it was founded by foreigner in the Greek sense. Stoics
did not see the individual as a unit of the collective rather took the person as individual per
se. ın the tightly over state of Platon an Aristotle individual was to submit the law and
tradition of his own society, whereas now it exists on his own and the goal is not to submit
to the collectively rather “to live in harmony with the nature” and “know oneself”. It would
not be wrong assert that the groundwork of “universal human rights” idea was set by
human premises of the Stoic philosophers. The notion of the “world sate” developed by the
Stoics in also associated with their presumption of reason, universes god, and legislation,
universalism and law. In so far as, all universes the humans essentially operate with the
same reason. There is only one common sense in all conditions. Hence, there is a law on
which the universe including the humans acts, which is called the universal law. This
universal law is valid in all space and time horizons Stoic thinkers called law as the
“natural law” not only is the human beings and other things but also God acts in accord
with the universal law (Ebenstein, 1996, p. 58; Çaha, 2008, p.32-35). Universal reason,
universal legislation, together bring about the notion of a “world state”. Since the humans
are the same by nature, their governance should be the same within take same state. Whilst
the humans are bound to their local states through their tradition, they are simultaneously a
citizen of the state through their reason. The universal law of the world state would be
above the local state and law binding the rulers and their followers as well (Çaha, 2008,
p.32-35). Here, the radical innovation of the world state philosophy bearing upon universal
law should be emphasized.
Cicero, one of the most influential names of the antique era, also adopted the universal law
principle through a stoic understanding, reflecting on the existence of a natural law that
originates from the God’s rule or the universe and the human’s possession of reason. This
natural law is valid and binding for all times, spaces and societies. If would be unthinkable
to deviate from the natural law when engaging in positive law regulations. Hence, this

natural law becomes a kind of a kind world state constitution (Çaha, 2008, p. 39-40).
According to the Ebenstein, a remarkable novelty seems to arise when the inner meaning
of the political thought of Cicero is taken into consideration. Namely, Cicero has a world
view. On the contrary, when the “best”” political-space philosophy of Platon and Aristotle
are reviewed. It can be recalled that they could not go beyond the conception of Polis/Citystate. Both Platon and Aristotle did not incorporate a universal humanity conception in
their political philosophy. For them, the World is separated between the Greeks and the
Barbars and the Barbars are inferior to the more cultivated and civilize Greeks who have
the right to enslave them. Contrary to this conception, It is apparent that Cicero has a more
universal view arising from the political and administrative the Empire. When the
Hellenistic and roman political thought is taken together in a concise manner in terms of
political space philosophies, it is evident that the city-bound political thought had been
abandoned, the local state scale had been replaced by universalist scale, and a new World
state perspective transcending the European Union idea owing to Universalist idea
emerged. Besides the World State nation, individual attains higher priority within the
individual collective distinction, and contrary to the Greeek sphere the view of universal
equity of humans is defended (Ebenstein, 1996, p. 52-53; Çaha, 2008, p. 36). Briefly, both
the city-state scale and the type of human it accommodates remain in the past as a
European development phase.
Christian Politaical Thought and the Modern Political Thought and the European
Unversalism
In terms of political space philosophy the western political thought can be elaborated
including both Catholics and Protestantism. In this vein, both “God State” and the world
state philosophies of St. Augustine, one of the early Middle age Catholic philosophers are
designs that transcend local and national boundaries According to St. Thomas, a Catholic
philosopher of the Middle age of Europe since the universe was created beginning with
God in a gradually descending hierarchy reaching lower beings, it is maintained by a
universal will while the catholic universalism of World state maintaining a kind of natural
law and World-scale under the influence of ancient Greek, Helen and Roman political
thought rather engaged in modern nation state, setting European Unity aside (Çaha, 2008,
p. s. 52; Tannbaum and Schultz, 2010, p. 122, 144-148. When Protestants encourage the
national churches as an argument against papacy and Roman Church, they also encourage
the nationality, national languages and national identities, hence, the development of nation
state as “the best” political space (Wallerstein, 1993; s. 188). National Churches promote
nation state in the political space sphere, gradually suggesting national attachments,
submission to national ruler and state. It would be necessary to designate that Protestantism
also promotes secularity individualism and, hence the modernity (Çaha, 2008, p. 60-61).
Dante Alighieri (1269-1321), a poet and a philosopher at the down of the modernity also
advocated the World state in the contest of political space philosophy. Dante reflected on
and indeed advocated a World state reeled by a monarch for the sake of human welfare in
his political masterpiece De Monarchia. For him, since the monarch is to be at everyone2s
service, the humanity would be freer in such a regime when compared with local and
national states/monarchies. It is worthy to note that Dante’s quest for World state
successfully discriminates between the consequences of political domination that the
central power must assume and the cultural autonomy. As each of the nations, kingdoms
and states would have different legislation, the nations would protect themselves within a
political World state via cultural autonomy. Dante goes beyond Christian political

universalism by discharging Ebenstein, 1996, pp. 106-116). Owing to a secular approach
that involves the direct, intermediated authority of God without any guidance, assistance
and intervention of Church/Papacy. Not only political thought of the ancient age but also
political thought of Middle Age apparently abandoned for modernity. By the 16th century,
national states gradually emerged as the best political space.
Conclusion
European universalism and European Union
With it’s approximately 2500 year background, the universalism approach whose frame
work was set by the Cynics and Stoic philosophers drawing on the World-scale ideas
continued in the late modern era the way it existed in the Middle Ages and early
modernity. According to Wallerstein “The rhetoric of the Pan-European leaders, mass
media and the founding intellectuals is full of references to universalism of their policies.
That is quite apparent when they talk particularly about their policies about “others”. The
“others” are the countries outside the Europe, poor people and “underdeveloped” nation
(Wallerstein, 2007; s. 11; Samir Amin, 1993; s. 24-25). While the remarks of the speaker
were uttered in manner, the politics are always presented as the reflection of truth and
universalism.
Samir Amin says “according to representatives of this dominant Eurocentric trend, Europe
have already found the answer. Hence, their motto is “We are following Europe, the best of
the existing worlds.” What is meant by the European Universalism in the fore mentioned
quotations is the attitude to justify the aggressive expansionism against the non-European
poor people and underdeveloped policies under the cover of universal values and facts.
European universalism which is characterized by the interpretation on non- European
societies from European point of view can be classified in to three types with respect to its
course of existence. First, policies that are accepted by the Paeuropean- European leaders
are set to promote the protection of human rights and democracy. Second, European
Universalism embedded in the jargon of clash of civilization. According to this argument,
since western civilization is the only depending on universal values and facts it is deemed
to be superior to other civilization. Thirdly, the governments have no alternatives but to
accept and apply the laws of economics within the context of scientifically justified facts of
the market. According to Wallerstein, these are not brand new themes. By contrast, they
are the theme that have evolved since at least sixteenth century and make up the
rudimentary rhetoric of powerful (Wallerstein, 1993, p. 12; Mackerras, 2005, p. 737).
The same European Universalism can be viewed from the aspect of modern world system
as the history of the system to a large extent was the history of the expansion of the Europe
States and nations to the rest of the world. Remanding the earlier world state emphasizes
the system geographically became global and in the late 19th century and incorporated the
periphery of the world in the late 20th century. The system contains several political
regimes that surely matters the people who live in that particular states. However, these
differences do not change the fundamental fact that they are the constituents of the modern
system, the capitalist world economy. On the other hand, in the aftermath of the “cold war”
it is thinkable that a salient polarization was replaced by a fuzzy polarization involving
many players more or less equal to each other (Wallerstein, 2001, p. 79). The
aforementioned Western/European expansionism means the military invasion, economic
exploitation and subjugation of the non-European part of the world to legal and political

injustice. Those who carry out the universal European expansionism thought to legitimize
their policies by claiming that “they are bringing in more benefit for the humankind”
European Universalism has been operationalized as the ideology of the existing historical
and modern capitalist system. The general argument is that the European expansionism
comes with “benefits” such as civilization, economic growth, development, progress and is
often operationalized by so-called the “natural law”. It is claimed by the European
expansionism is not only a “beneficial development for humankind but also proves to be
historically unavoidable” (Wallerstein, 1993, p. 40; Demirel, 2008, s. 49) . The rhetoric
used to describe and legitimize this expansionism sometimes occurs in the form of the
theology or religion, sometimes relies on secular world view. The expansions and
interventions over the “non-civilized regions” of the world by the west are specifically
built upon four basic legitimizer within the framework or Wallerstein, fist, the others being
Barbar, namely uncivilized, second the aim to end the violation of universal values, third
need to protect the innocent among the other oppressors and fourth enabling the expansion
of the universal values. However, this expansion and interventions under the cover of
“fight against terrorism” and sending democracy” in the aftermath of 9-11 were enabled
through the political and military power of the dominant forces and were inherently
induced by material gains from the invasion. One of the implications of these discussions
is related to European Union. European Union is tough to be built upon universal
European values, however, it is often disregarded that these values are the social
construction of dominant constituencies of specific world within the context of a specific
cultural geography and civilization (Wallerstein, 1996; p. 12; Amir, 2000, s. 5-7).

                <text>Political, Historical and Environmental Factors at LanguageTransmissionfrom Generation to Generation: the Model of Uzbek Originated Afghan Immigrants who live in Gaziantep, Turkey  Since language has a major role for transmitting the cultural values of the society to the next generations, it is the basic unit of the society that ensures the continuity. Although it is a natural process that the language of the society, which is learnt in the family first, interacts with the other languages and changes throughout this interaction, it cannot be accepted as normal that the members of the society forget their mother tongue and interact through other languages. It is the result of the fact that the members of the society could not transmit their mother tongue to the next generations because of some political, historical and environmental factors. For instance, Uzbek originated Afghan immigrants, who were brought from Afghanistan in 1983 and were housed in Gaziantep in Turkey with a political decision made in 1982, were interacting in Persian not in Uzbek, which is an evidence showing how some political, historical and environmental factors can be effective on hindering language transmission to the next generations. In this study, we tried to investigate the causes and results of the language corruption among these Uzbeks via the survey we conducted on these Uzbeks, even the last members of the royalty ofBukhara Khanate. Consequently, the questions asked in the survey aimed to find out the effect of language corruption on culture change, and the effect of these culture changes on the sense of belonging.     </text>

                <text>Mark Twain, through his modern "Yankee," reveals to his readers the underlying desire to overcome the very material world he apparently wants to instantiate. Although the Yankee seems a modern man who simply wants to create the conditions in Arthurian England by which his body will be most comfortable, both his zeal for this project and the trajectory of his soul's course during the book betray an underlying hope to overcome his "mortal coil" through first technological and then political projects. In charting the impetus and evolution of the Yankee's psychology for us, Twain teaches us much about the nature of the "modern project"-its underlying hopes and its potential for dangerous, even totalitarian, excesses. As appealing as the starkly contrasting Arthurians might be, given this insight, Twain does not ultimately endorse this position but shows that its explicit claim does not ultimately satisfy our desire for noninstrumental goods. The paper tries to trace how the yankee is affected by his belief in technology and politics.  </text>
