LEGAL REGULATION OF CYBERNETIC CRIME IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Veljko Trivun
Abstract
With the introduction of criminal liability of legal entities in the legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2002, radical changes took place in the sphere of responsibility for cybercrime as well. Cybercrime itself is closely linked to the actions of individuals, i.e. natural erson, but the responsibility of companies is also unavoidable. This statement is especially emphasized when resources (equipment and declining software) are made available that enable the commission of cybercrime. The revolution in the field of informatics, numerous social networks, e-education, and all the way to numerous forms of internet communication that enable electronic contracting, payment and e-banking, has led to mandatory standardization in this area. As in any other area, there is a more than enviable level of abuses that are prohibited, especially criminal law. Bosnia and Herzegovina can be considered a country that has legally regulated this issue in an adequate manner and harmonized it with the requirements of the international community.Thus, we have state (B&H) legislation in the field of criminal law, electronic conclusion of contracts, secure and qualified electronic signature, competition law and consumer protection law. Enumerated is the basic set of regulations in this area. The Entities and the BD BiH have a legal definition in the areas of electronic communication and criminal justice. In the Criminal Code of the FB&H we have a special chapter called Crimes against electronic data processing systems, while in the RS we have a chapter called Crimes against the security of computer data. In BD B&H, as well as in FBiH, we have the same systematization and the title of the chapter that deals with the sanctioning of this type of criminal offenses. Electronic payment and distance selling are specifically regulated by the Law on Consumer Protection in BiH.
