Abstract

Napredak ljudske civilizacije rano je iziskivao razvoj normi usmjerenih na zaštitu društva i države. Korijene toga razvoja, relevantnog za europski prostor, trebaju se potražiti u drevnoj Mezopotamiji, tj. prostoru između rijeka Eufrata i Tigrisa. Pojavom klinastog pisma te razvojem državnosti i prava nastaju prvi pisani zakonici, od kojih su neki sačuvani do današnjeg vremena. Ti svjedoci vremena i čuvari pravde često razlažu pravne situacije koje odstupaju od uobičajenih normi ondašnjeg društvenog života i ponašanja. Od brojnih zakonika mezopotamskih vladara – legislatora, najčuveniji je onaj starobabilonskog vladara Hamurabija. Njegov zakonik osmišljen za vladanje golemim državnim prostorom ujedno je i plod usklađivanja sumerske prakse sa vrijednostima njegova vladajućeg amoritskog soja, pa time i prilagodbe društvenog (i pravnog) sustava novom društvu. Vodeći se prvenstveno Hamurabijevim zakonikom, u radu se razmatraju i drugi drevni zakoni, pri čemu je istraživanje usmjereno na kaznenopravne aspekte zaštite društva i onovremene države.

Abstract (english)

protect society and the state at the same time. The roots of this development, relevant for the European area, must be sought in ancient Mesopotamia, i.e. the area between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. The appearance of the cuneiform script and the development of statehood and law led to the creation of the first written codes, some of which have been preserved to this day. These witnesses of the times and guardians of justice often explain legal situations that deviated from the usual norms of social life and behavior at that time. Hammurabi's code is the most famous out of the many codes created by Mesopotamian kings - legislators. His code, designed for the governance of vast national territories, is at the same time the result of harmonizing Sumerian practice with the viewpoints of his Amorite tribe, thus also adapting the social (and legal) system to the new society. This paper focuses on the criminal law aspects of society and state protection, guided primarily by Hammurabi's code, as well as other ancient laws.
