OSTVARIVANJE LJUDSKIH PRAVA U POLITIČKOM SISTEMU BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE – PRAVNI I INSTITUCIONALNI OKVIR
IMPLEMENTATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

Summary/Abstract: Human rights represent the most important legal and political institute of every society, but also the heritage of civilization and a value that is constantly in the focus of attention. In the genesis of their development, we can see ups and downs, even when it comes to societies with a significant democratic tradition. Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the completion of three decades since the liberalization of the political system and the beginning of the democratic transition, as well as obtaining the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union, still remains a deeply divided society and a post-conflict area. The subject of this paper is the realization of human rights in the political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the prism of the legal and institutional framework. More specifically, the paper will offer an overview of the legal basis for the protection of human rights (constitutional and legal framework), and then the institutional framework, that is, the analysis of government bodies and organizations that were established to protect and promote human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The review will be supported by certain quantitative and qualitative data and analysis. The main hypothesis in the paper is that in the legal and political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina there is a significant discrepancy between the guaranteed level of protection of human rights and the level of their realization. In the paper, the methods of legal exegesis, content analysis and statistical methods are predominantly used.
