Abstract. The valid principle for establishment of an international
criminal tribunal is nullum forum sine lege, which means that it can be
established only under the corresponding international act. The notion
"law", that is, "legal tribunal" in international criminal procedural law
is observed here in the light of international contractual law, which is
the way to reach the international criminal tribunal. The provisions of
Article 29 of the United Nations Charter the Security Council refers to
empowers the Security Council to establish subsidiary organs to take over
measures under Articles 41 and 42 of the Charter, but such measures are
taken only against the states, but not individuals. Therefore, establishment
of the tribunal cannot be an enforcement measure for maintenance, that
is, restoration of peace and security.

LEGALITET I LEGITIMITET MEDJUNARODNOG
TRIBUNALA ZA SUDJENJE LICIMA ZA KOJA SE PRETPOSTAVLJA
DA SU ODGOVORNA ZA TEŠKE POVREDE MEDJUNARODNOG
HUMANITARNOG PRAVA UČINJENE
NA TERITORIJI BIVŠE JUGOSLAVIJE (HAŠKI TRIBUNAL)
Za osnivanje medjunarodnog krivičnog suda važi načelo nulum forum sine
lege, što znači da se on može osnovati samo odgovarajućim medjunarodnim
krivičnim aktom. Pojam "zakon", odnosno "zakoniti sud" u medjunarodnom
krivičnom procesnom pravu posmatrano u svjetlu medjunarodnog ugovornog
prava, kojim putem treba doći i do medjunarodnog krivičnog suda. Odredba
člana 29 Povelje UN na koju se Savjet bezbjednosti poziva daje pravo Savjetu
da formira pomoćne organe radi preduzimanja mjera iz čl. 41 i 42 Povelje,
ali se takve mjere preduzimaju samo protiv država, a ne pojedinaca. Zato
osnivanje suda ne može da predstavlja prinudnu mjeru za održavanje, odnosno
uspostavljanje mira i bezbjednosti.
