APPLICABLE RULES ON EXTRADITION AND INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE, Problems of their Hierarchy in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Abstract
The article deals with the legal
force of domestic law and international agreements on international judicial
cooperation in cases of conflict between them. Domestic law is subsidiary;
nevertheless, it plays an irreplaceable role as a regulator of international
judicial cooperation in support of international agreements by interpreting and
complementing their provisions. In the international law system, hierarchy of the agreements
(multilateral conventions, bilateral treaties) is recognized and accepted.
Their hierarchy is established by statutory provisions (formal hierarchy) or
may come as a result of some appropriate choice (factual hierarchy). The
present article focuses on problems pertaining to international judicial
cooperation in criminal matters. However, its findings and conclusions are
applicable accordingly to international judicial cooperation in civil and other
legal matters as well.

Suçluların İadesinde Uygulanabilir Kurallar ve Uluslararası Adli Yardım, Bosna Hersek’te Uluslararası Adli Yardim Kaynaklarının Hiyerarşi Sorunları
Abstract
Makale, uluslararası yargısal işbirliği
konusunda iç hukuk kuralları ve uluslararası anlaşmalar arasında çatışma olması
durumunda hangisinin uygulanma kabiliyeti olduğuna değinmektedir.
İç hukuk,
tamamlayıcı olup uluslararası sözleşmelerin hükümlerinin yorumlanması ve
tamamlanmasında uluslararası hukuki işbirliğinin düzenleyicisi olarak yeri
doldurulamaz bir rol oynamaktadır. Uluslararası hukuk sisteminde, anlaşmaların
hiyerarşisi (çok taraflı sözleşmeler, ikili anlaşmalar) tanınmakta ve kabul
edilmektedir. Bunların hiyerarşileri yasal hükümler (şekli hiyerarşi)
tarafından belirlenir veya bazı uygun seçimler
(esas ilişkin hiyerarşi) sonucunda ortaya çıkabilir.
