THE REALISTIC AND THE POSSIBLE IN THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN BIH

Summary/Abstract: The author considers the real state of affairs and the potential for the protection and advancement of human rights in BiH and the role of parliament in this. The human rights situation in this country is disastrous and a disgrace. Not only are the fundamental rights of the individual and of ethnic and religious communities violated: in many cases what is at work is legalized discrimination and apartheid. In Bosnia and Herzegovina we are seeing the grave consequences of the war of aggression and the Dayton structure of the State with its artificial ethnonational divisions and injustices, which must be radically altered by the adoption of a new Constitution appropriate to the country’s historical identity and the civilized standards of a free, sovereign, democratic state in which both individual and group-differentiated human and civil rights would be guaranteed.
