Abstract

Rad se bavi individualnom kaznenom odgovornošću za masovna ubojstva na Ovčari za vrijeme Domovinskog rata 1991. godine. Prije svega, u uvodnom je dijelu dan povijesno-politički kontekst događanja u tadašnjoj Vukovarskoj općini koja su prethodila bitci za Vukovar. Ukratko je opisana i sama vukovarska bitka unutar koje je došlo do evakuacije ratne bolnice i odvođenja ratnih zarobljenika na poljoprivredno dobro Ovčara gdje su masovno ubijeni od strane pripadnika srpske vojske. Uz to je razmatrana i uloga međunarodne zajednice za vrijeme provođenja ratnih zločina. Središnji dio rada donosi izabrane presude optuženicima koji su na bilo koji način sudjelovali u masakru na Ovčari. Poseban je naglasak na institutima nadređenosti i individualne kaznene odgovornosti. Ukazuje se i na probleme koji su se pojavili prilikom suđenja. Konačno, u zaključnom dijelu dan je osvrt na navedene zločine, provedena suđenja, ali i na opažanja vezanima uz današnja ratna zbivanja u svijetu i sudske postupke koji bi se mogli voditi na temelju istih.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with individual criminal responsibility for mass murders in Ovčara during the Homeland War in 1991. First of all, in the introductory part, is given the historical and political context of the events in the then Vukovar municipality that preceded the battle for Vukovar. The battle of Vukovar itself is briefly described, during which the war hospital was evacuated and the prisoners of war were taken to the Ovčara farm, where they were killed en masse by members of the Serbian army. In addition was considered the role of the international community during the implementation of war crimes. The central part of the work brings the selected verdicts to the defendants who participated in any way in the massacre at Ovčara. There is a special emphasis on the institutes of superiority and individual criminal responsibility. The problems that arose during the trial are also pointed out. Finally, in the concluding part, there is a review of the mentioned crimes, trials, but also observations related to today's war events in the world and court proceedings that could be conducted on the basis of them.
