Language is a highly important social element that affects its actors, and as such is a noteworthy indicator of whether and to what extent gender equality is represented in a particular society. This paper is researching gender sensitive language with a focus on the legal framework for its use in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the outset of this paper, we defined gendersensitive language and gave the explanation why its usage in official and unofficial language is significant. Furthermore, the legal framework for the use of gender-sensitive language in Bosnia and Herzegovina is reviewed with a focus on the work of B&H experts in the field of linguistics, and we analysed the instructions on the use of gender-sensitive language used by institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to elaborate the concept of gender-sensitive language, why it is an important part of every society when it comes to gender equality and how the use of gender sensitive language in Bosnia and Herzegovina is standardized.

The paper begins with the analysis of the institute of protectorate, and of all other forms in which the institute of protectorate could be found, particularly in those forms that were created in the classical international law. Further more, the main characteristics of this institute are being analyzed (its influence on an international legal capacity of a protected state), as well as the various forms of this institute (quasiprotectorate, collective protectorate, protection etc.). Besides, the author deales with the institute of the International Territorial Administration (ITA), specially concetrating on the state of Bosnia and Hercegovina, and its legal international status. At the end, the author notes the transformation of the protectorate in the sense of the classical international law as a bilateral relation between the protector and the protected state into the modern institute of the International Territorial Administration, used by the international community as a mean by which the international legal order is being secured.
