Reports on the Transitional Justice Experience in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Reports on the Transitional Justice Experience in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: 15 years have passed since the signing of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement which ended the war in the former Yugoslavia. However, the Agreement was not only signed to stop the hostilities, but also to lay down the requirements for a durable peace through, among other things, the process of reconciliation. In order to achieve that goal, different transitional justice mechanisms have been set up. This paper is a short review of the main transitional justice mechanisms put in place in Bosnia, a review that will show the political tensions that are in the background of the process of reconciliation. Thus, the trials, national and international will be analyzed; followed by a description of different truth seeking mechanisms; and finally a quick examination of the vetting process of public officials will be given.
