U povodu zapaženog dvodecenijskog naučnoistraživačkog rada i uspješnog funkcioniranja Institut za istraživanje zločina protiv čovječnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava Univerziteta u Sarajevu je svečano obilježio taj značajni jubilej.

U ime Univerziteta u Sarajevu prof. dr. Faruk Mekić, prorektor Univerziteta u Sarajevu, uputio je čestitke Institutu za istraživanje zločina protiv čovječnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava i riječi dobrodošlice prisutnima istakavši da je Institut, naučnoistraživačka ustanova i članica Univerziteta, dragulj Univerziteta u Sarajevu.

„Institut je, po ostvarenim naučnim rezultatima u oblasti društvenih i humanističkih nauka, od značaja za nauku i njen razvoj i društvenu praksu ne samo u Bosni i Hercegovini nego i u svijetu i nesumnjivo je reprezentativni predstavnik Univerziteta u Sarajevu“, naglasio je prorektor Mekić.

Govoreći o Institutu i njegovim rezultatima nakon 22 godine, dr. Mevludin Mekić, predsjednik Upravnog odbora Univerziteta u Sarajevu, istakao je da je riječ o ustanovi kojom bi se mogle ponositi i mnogo bogatije i razvijenije države. Podsjetivši na latinsku izreku Divinum opus est sedare dolorem („Umanjiti bol božansko je djelo“), dr. Mevludin Mekić je naveo da slično ovoj sentenci Institut smanjuje teške boli svih žrtava genocida u Bosni i Hercegovini i šire dokazivanjem istine o strašnom zločinu.
„Uposlenici i saradnici Instituta, pod rukovodstvom poznatog istraživača akademika ÄŒekića, istovremeno govore i u ime svih nevino ubijenih žrtava, na čemu su im sadašnje generacije zahvalne, a nadam se i buduća pokoljenja“, istakao je dr. Mevludin Mekić.

Institut za istraživanje zločina protiv čovječnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava Univerziteta u Sarajevu je formiran u septembru 1992. godine u izuzetno složenim i teškim društvenim, političkim, ekonomskim, vojnim i sigurnosnim uvjetima, složenim unutrašnjim zbivanjima u meÄ‘unarodnim odnosima.

Naglasivši da se Institut razvijao kroz odreÄ‘ene etape, neodvojive od etapa i faza društvenog, političkog, obrazovnog i naučnog razvoja društva, a koje su obilježene brojnim kadrovskim, materijalnim, finansijskim, prostornim i drugim problemima, direktor ÄŒekić je podsjetio na brojne realizirane naučnoistraživačke projekte i konferencije o predmetnoj tematici (nacionalnog i meÄ‘unarodnog karaktera).
Institut je objavio 110 izdanja, a uposlenici Instituta su u raznim časopisima objavili 187 naučnih radova, te u izdanju drugih ustanova i institucija objavili su 23 publikacije. U statusu organizatora, suorganizatora ili učesnika, naučnici-istraživači i istraživači-saradnici Instituta su imali aktivnu i zapaženu ulogu na 172 naučne, domaće i meÄ‘unarodne konferencije, okrugla stola i seminara.

„Agresija na Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu i genocid nad Bošnjacima su trajni predmet istraživačke aktivnosti Instituta, koja se odvija po modelu tipskog projekta istraživanja, a koja je imenovana kao strateška. Ta centralna, fundamentalna, bitna istraživačka aktivnost iskazana je kao predmetna obaveza dugoročnog istraživanja, utvrÄ‘ena planom i programima rada Instituta“, istakao je direktor ÄŒekić.

Nakon pozdravnih obraćanja i uvodnog izlaganja akademik Muhamed Filipović je govorio o značaju istraživanja genocida u kontekstu moderne historije, a prof. dr. Mirko Pejanović je promovirao monografiju „Nastanak, razvoj i funkcionisanje Instituta za istraživanje zločina protiv čovječnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava Univerziteta u Sarajevu 1992–2013.“.
