UDK 341.485(497.6=163.4*3)”1992/1995” 355.012:341.485(497.6)”1992/1995” Sažetak U istraživanju zlocina protiv covjecnosti i međunarodnog prava na podrucju opcine Visegrad poseban je naglasak stavljen na bestijalnu metodu vrsenja zlocina kroz masovno i pojedinacno spaljivanje civila (žena, djece i staraca) u kucama i drugim pomocnim objektima. U tom se kontekstu promatra povijesna kronologija takvih zlocinackih pothvata s namjerom prezentiranja i dokazivanja njihovog kontinuiteta, a koji su svoj vrhunac imali u Visegradu u periodu od 1992-1995. godine. Rezultati teorijskih i empirijskih istraživanja zorno pokazuju i dokazuju da je grad Visegrad postao paradigma zlocina spaljivanja civila, te se stoga opravdano karakterizira kao grad u kojem je veliki broj civila planski, sistemski i organizirano spaljen s ciljem najbrutalnijeg etnickog ciscenja i progona stanovnistva iz doline rijeke Drine. Potvrda navedene teze nalazi se i u relevantnim presudama Haskog tribunala zlocincima koji su direktno ili indirektno ucestvovali u tim, zdravom ljudskom umu, neshvatljivim ubijanjima civila samo iz razloga sto su po nacionalnosti i/ili vjeri drukciji od tih zvijeri. Summary In this article that deals with the crimes against humanity and international law committed in the territory of the municipality Visegrad the accent is placed upon the bestial method of killing by both mass and individual burning of civilians (women, children and the aged) in houses and other adjoining constructions. In this context the chronological history of this type of crime is viewed with intention to establish and present the continuity of such crimes that in Visegrad reached their peak during 1992-1995. The results of theoretical and empirical research clearly show that the city of Visegrad has become a paradigm of the crime of burning civilians, thus it is justly characterised as the city wherein burning of a large number of civilians was planned, organised and systematically executed with the aim of the most brutal ethnic cleansing and persecution of the inhabitants of the valley of the river Drina. This is also confirmed by the relevant verdicts of the Hague Tribunal against the criminals who directly or indirectly were involved in killings, to a healthy human mind incomprehensible, of the innocent civilians just for being of different nationality or faith.
