The concept of quasi – judicial process

Koncept kvazisudbenog procesa koristi se u općoj teoriji prava da bi se objasnile i vrednovale društvene pojavnosti u nacionalnom i međunarodnom pravu. Iako je pravosuđenje nužan element prava, u nekim je pravnim porecima moguće pronaći procese koji imaju određena obilježja pravosuđenja, ali ipak ne odgovaraju u potpunosti definiciji pravosuđenja. Dok u nacionalnim normativnim porecima ovakvi kvazisudbeni procesi postoje uz pravi proces pravosuđenja, u međunarodnom poretku kvazisudbeni procesi u potpunosti nadomještaju pravosuđenje međunarodne zajednice. U ovom članku posebno će se obraditi koncept kvazisudbenog procesa u normativnom poretku Ujedinjenih naroda iz aspekta stvarne i moguće prakse država i međunarodnih organa s obzirom na norme iz UN Povelje. Specifična obilježja ove kvazisudbene prakse pokazat će se korištenjem relevantnih pravnih interpretacija Povelje u kontekstu usporedbe dvaju koncepata: kvazisudbenog procesa i pravog pravosuđenja. Takva analiza može pridonijeti boljem razumijevanju postojeće prakse, nedostataka i mogućnosti razvoja kvazisudbenog procesa u poretku Ujedinjenih naroda.The concept of the quasi-judicial process is used in general theory of law to explain and evaluate social phenomena in national and international law. Although adjudication is taken as an essential element of law, it is possible to find in some legal orders those processes which contain certain elements of adjudication but still do not fully comply with the definition of adjudication. In the national normative orders these quasi-judicial processes exist alongside the real processes of adjudication and in the international order quasi-judicial processes completely substitute the element of adjudication. In this article the concept of the quasi-judicial process in the normative order of the United Nations will be elaborated on from the aspect of the real and possible practice of states and international organs regarding the norms from the UN Charter. The specific features of this quasi-judicial practice will be indicated by using relevant juristic interpretations of the Charter through comparison of two concepts: quasi-judicial process and genuine adjudication. This analysis could contribute a better understanding of the existing practice, deficiencies and possibilities for further development of quasi-judicial processes in the United Nations order
