DIRECTIONS OF PEACE POLICY, IMPLEMENTATION OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES IN THE FUTURE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: After decades of war and a post-conflict period, Bosnia and Herzegovina faces significant challenges in building sustainable peace and reconciliation. This paper analyzes peace policies and the implementation of restorative justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim of achieving lasting peace and reconciliation. It focuses on the contributions of these policies to building a society with equal rights for all citizens and providing psychological support to war victims and their families to facilitate recovery and reintegration. The paper examines political, legal, and psychological strategies for preventing new conflicts and building a democratic society, with an emphasis on the role of restorative justice as an alternative legal system that empowers both victims and perpetrators in the reconciliation process. Political strategies include institutional reforms that promote inclusivity and equality, strengthening civil society, and ensuring government transparency. Legal strategies encompass dialogue between victims and perpetrators and the acknowledgment of crimes. Restorative justice allows communities to confront the past, providing a more effective way to meet the needs of war victims. Psychological strategies highlight the importance of emotional and mental health, offering therapy and educational programs that promote intercultural understanding and tolerance. The paper offers key recommendations for the implementation of peace policies and restorative justice, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach and the need for further research. Key measures include long-term peace agreements, regional reconciliation initiatives, justice and peace legislation, and comprehensive support programs for war victims. The integration of these policies can significantly contribute to the creation of a stable and prosperous society, where restorative justice plays a crucial role in achieving lasting peace and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
