Although they are not a new phenomenon, but on the contrary have been present since the first armed conflicts, they have long been “in a vacuum” from the point of view of international legal regulation. In the work in front of us, the authors will try to present international documents that touch on mercenary activities in certain provisions, i.e. deal entirely with mercenaries, to point out their importance, as well as their shortcomings, for the regulation of this ancient, but still extremely current negative social phenomenon which intrigues with undiminished intensity both from the moral, legal and financial aspects.

Although present practically throughout the entire human history, the regulation of mercenary activities from the aspect of international law as well as national legislation was completely neglected until recently. It was only after the World War II that the first international documents were created that tried to define and identify mercenaries as a serious threat to international security. Much later, the norms of national (criminal) legislation began to treat the activities of mercenaries as criminal acts, that is, mercenaries as criminals. Accordingly, in this research work the author will try to answer several, today more than ever, current problematic issues, which are based on the harmonization, that is, the non-harmonization of the norms regulating the field of mercenary in the acts of int...

There are various written sources in the distant past that describe its existence. However, it appears that progress is directed towards, primarily, at the specific detection, and then the prevention and sanctioning of school violence is made only when systematically approached to its research. The first such survey took place the 70-ies of the last century, in the Scandinavian countries, and have significantly contributed to raising awareness that the problem of violence in schools is very much present and that its effects are not negligible. In Serbia, researchers of violence in school are intensively engaged in the last ten years, and the largest number of national research projects is from this period. This paper does the systematization of part of the up to date knowledge and research results related to violence in schools. Given the topicality of this issue, on the one hand, and insufficient research, on the other hand, the author made an attempt to present the results of her research related to the concept of school violence, domestic violence in the schools, and the roles of participants in the violence.
