Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina is an unusually organized country, based on the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which we know as the Dayton peace agreement. The agreement itself has its basic text of a few pages and 11 annexes, which are dedicated to different areas. One of those annexes, number 4, contains the new Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was not an expression of the democratic will of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but a component of the General Framework Peace Agreement. What needs to be emphasized is that the Dayton Peace Agreement is nothing more than an international treaty, with the status given to it by the Vienna Convention on the Law of International Treaties, which was opened for signing in 1969 and entered into force in 1980. What is specific about this international treaty is that its constituent part is the very constitution of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
