This study fulfills the task of interpreting those provisions of the State Criminal Code in Bosnia and Herzegovina which envisage the crimes of Terrorism. Those provisions were significantly updated in February 2010 to fully implement the respective United Nations instruments dedicated to the fight against this serious type of crime. Besides, the updated provisions constitute a legislative implementation of the corresponding European Union requirements to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the penal field and also a reception of some European Union countries criminal laws which proscribe the same criminal offences. In turn, this specific origin of the State Criminal Code provisions which envisage the crimes of Terrorism made it necessary to interpret the provisions in the way the same legal texts are being interpreted in Europe.
