Environmental Legislation In Bosnia And Herzegovina And Its Implementation

Summary/Abstract: The report contains a review of Environmental Legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It presents valid entity and cantonal environmental laws, as well as institutions authorized for their implementation. Prominent problems about law inconsistency at various levels of the authorities, lack of accompanying sublegal acts which would ensure their implementation, overlapping of jurisdiction between institutions and inefficient work of inspection services have also been emphasized. The solution could be the adoption of environmental laws at the state level, as well as the establishment of agency and /or the Department of Environment. Environmental jurisdiction is at the level of entities, but it can be transfered to the state level if entities make arrangements (Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Article III, Section 5a.). Considering the efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina to approach the European Integration, the implementation of European Convention on Human Rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina has also been analyzed.
