The
prohibition
on
retroactive
penal
law
and
the
retroactivity
of
a
more
lenient
penal
law
(
lex
mitior
)
are
perennial
questions
of
human
justice
.
In
view
of
the
structural
characteristics
of
the
prosecutorial
and
judicial
organisation
of
Bosnia
and
Herzegovina
(
BiH
)
,
and
the
particular
nature
of
the
War
Crimes
Chamber
of
the
State
Court
of
BiH
,
the
Maktouf
and
Damjanović
cases
warrant
a
broader
discussion
of
these
issues
within
the
context
of
international
human
rights
law
,
taking
also
into
account
recent
advances
in
international
criminal
and
humanitarian
law
and
the
current
status
of
State
practice
.
Only
then
will
I
be
in
a
position
to
reach
a
finding
on
this
case
.
