Sažetak
In this paper the author attempts to explain the characteristics of rape on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the break-up of socialist Yugoslavia. Applying some basic knowledge on the traits of Bosnian-Herzegovinian patriarchal society, as well as results taken from the sociological theory of rape and war, combined with data on mass rapes of Moslem women and girls by Serb soldiers, the author concludes that rape (in this case) is not a “usual” form of self-indulgence by soldiers on weaker persons, but that it serves, rather, to increase the efficiency of the genocide which is being carried out.
