The Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia ((クロアチア語:Hrvatska Republika Herceg-Bosna)) was an entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina that existed between 1991 and 1994 during the Bosnian War. It was proclaimed on 18 November 1991 under the name Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia, and claimed to be a separate or distinct "political, cultural, economic and territorial whole" in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The leaders of Herzeg-Bosnia never succeeded in seceding from Bosnia and Herzegovina, nor publicly acknowledged such a goal using such language. However, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concluded on 26 February 2001,〔(Background ), icty.org; accessed 13 August 2015.〕 that Herzeg-Bosnia was founded with the intention to secede from Bosnia and Herzegovina and unite with Croatia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ICTY - Kordic and Cerkez judgment - E. The Parties' Cases and Trial Chamber Findings )〕 According to the ICTY, these aspirations, supported by the Republic of Croatia, were manifest, among other things, by Herzeg-Bosnia's use of Croatian currency and Croatian language and the granting by the Republic of Croatia of Croatian citizenship to Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia illegal on 14 September 1992.〔 Herzeg-Bosnia officially ceased to exist in 1994 when it was joined to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina upon the signing of the Washington Agreement by the authorities of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The official capital city of Herzeg-Bosnia was western Mostar. However, as Mostar was a war zone, the effective control centre was in Grude. ==Etymology== The term ''Herzeg-Bosnia'' appeared at the beginning of 20th century in some intellectual circles. Some Croatian historians used the term ''Herzeg-Bosnia'' with respect to all Bosnian territory. During the early 1990s, the HDZ used ''Herzeg-Bosnia'' to refer to all of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the proclamation of the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia, the term was used only to denote this polity. After the Washington Agreement was signed in March 1994 and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was created, one of its cantons was named "Herzeg-Bosnia". In 1997, that name was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and officially renamed "Canton 10". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
