ABSTRACT: Common law is one of the oldest forms of legal regulations that developed through unwritten rules and norms of behaviour that were established in the earliest communities. This law was based on customs adopted by the members of social community and passed down from generation to generation. In the absence of codified laws, customs made it possible to maintain social order and resolve conflicts within the community. One of the most well-known norms of common law was the institute of blood vengeance. It represented a way of maintaining balance and it could be said to embody 'justice' within the community, reflected in the practice where murder or injury was reciprocated with the same measure towards the perpetrator or his family. In the earliest periods, this rule was deeply rooted in the belief that only revenge could restore lost honor and establish balance within the community. Given the importance of the institute of blood vengeance, this paper will analyze when and in which documents blood vengeance was first mentioned, its characteristics, as well as its two institutions - oath and conciliation. These institutions, by their origin and purpose, can be said to oppose this custom, and within them, certain elements for its suppression can be found.

APSTRAKT: Običajno pravo predstavlja jedan od najstarijih oblika pravne regulative koji se razvijalo kroz nepisana pravila i norme ponašanja koje su uspostavljene u najranijim zajednicama. Ovo pravo se zasnivalo na običajima koje su članovi društvene zajednice usvajali i prenosili sa generacije na generaciju. U nedostatku kodifikovanih zakona običaji su omogućavali održavanje društvenog reda i rešavanje sukoba unutar zajednice. Jedan od najpoznatijih normi običajnog prava bio je institut krvne osvete. Ona je predstavljala način održavanja ravnoteže i možemo reći "pravde" unutar zajednice koja se ogledala u tome da se ubistvo ili povreda uzvraćala istom merom prema počiniocu ili prema njegovoj porodici. Ovo pravilo je u najranijim periodima bilo duboko ukorenjeno u verovanju da se jedino osvetom može vratiti izgubljena čast i da se može uspostaviti ravnoteža unutar zajednice. Uzimajući u obzir važnost instituta krvne osvete u okviru rada analiziraćemo iz kog perioda i u kojim dokumentima i kada se prvi put pominje krvna osveta, koja su njena obeležja, kao i njene dve ustanove ¬ besu i umir jer se u njima mogu pronaći određeni elementi za njeno suzbijanje, pošto su pomenute ustanove, po svom nastanku i nameni, možemo reći, protiv ovog običaja.
