Abstract

In this paper, the author analyses criminal procedural rules created as an expression of the synthesis of the common-law accusatorial and the continental mixed criminal procedural justice system in International Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The field of analytical treatment in this paper is limited not only to textual material of criminal procedural rules, but the author also attempts to demonstrate the practical achievements and implications of criminal procedural institutes. Furthermore, the reasons of these synthesis are revealed and categorized into those caused by the practical need to make the process faster and more efficient (justified by the right to an expeditious trial), and those originating from the flexible adaptation of procedural rules to the legal habits and type of education of lawyers who are referred to the application of the rules. The aim of the paper is to point out the practical consequences of the criminal procedure roles and to outline their practical achievements, depending on the underlying factors. This goal is of great practical importance, considering that legal theory in this area has no influence on establishing criminal procedural rules, but it is also out of step with the critical analysis of some criminal procedural law institutes that are gradually being transferred from the ICTY to other international or national criminal procedure rules. The selected issue has been fairly neglected in our literature, although actualized in recent amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure of Serbia. By these changes, the continental type of mixed system of criminal procedure has been replaced by the model inspired by Anglo-American criminal procedural law.

Sažetak

U ovom radu autor opisuje institute krivičnog procesnog prava koji u sudnici Međunarodnog krivičnog tribunala za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKTJ) doživljavaju svoj materijalni oblik ispoljavanja. Pored prikazivanja normativnog konteksta kojim su uređeni ovi instituti, autor će prikazati i njihove praktične domete upoređujući ih sa klasičnim institutima krivičnog procesnog prava koje možemo sresti u evropskokontinentalnom i anglosaksonskom sistemu prava. Činjenica da Tribunal ne raspolaže sopstvenim organima prinude determinisala je oblikovanje pojedinih procesnopravnih instituta na krajnje specifičan način. Ova interesantna, i sve prisutnija, pojava prožimanja procesnopravnih instituta angloameričkog i evropskokontinentalnog pravnog sistema, začinjena određenim, sui generis, procesnim institutima, predstavlja veliki izazov za teoretsku obradu a time i bolje razumevanje ove problematike. U ovom članku autor će se detaljno pozabaviti pitanjem dokaznog postupka. On zauzima centralno mesto u svakom krivičnom postupku i pravila ovog postupka od suštinskog su značaja za ostvarenje osnovne funkcije suda. Veliki broj pravnih načela i apstraktnih pravnih standarda generalnog karaktera, koje srećemo u brojnim dokumentima kako međunarodnog tako i domaćeg prava, moraju da dobiju svoj praktičan operativan izraz upravo u ovoj fazi postupka. Pored toga, biće objašnjena i uloga koju amicus curiae ima u krivičnom postupku ali i pravna priroda izdvojenih sudijskih mišljenja koja, iako nemaju uticaj na ishod suđenja, mogu u nekim slučajevima znatno uticati na kasniji rad sudova, pa i da dovedu do promena sudske prakse, odnosno da snagom argumentacije utiču na kreaciju prava. Na kraju članka autor detaljno analizira domete postupka pred Tribunalom posmatran kroz ukupnost svih instituta krivičnog procesnog prava na koje je skrenuta pažnja kako u prvom delu ovog članka tako i u drugom. Autor iznosi zaključak da se sinteza o kojoj govori dešava iz dve grupe razloga. Prvu grupu razloga predstavlja želja Suda da se postupak učini efikasnijim i bržim, a druga grupa razloga je posledica činjenice da sudije, tužioci i optuženi dolaze iz različitih sredina, pa je potreba da se učesnici u postupku lakše snađu u njemu determinisala i sintezu procesnih instituta koji regulišu njihova prava i obaveze u okviru krivičnog postupka u pravcu da se postupak adaptira i prilagodi navikama, obrazovanju i pravnoj kulturi njegovih učesnika.
