Role of Judicial Authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Primary role of judicial authorities, is that in the name of the state, trace the subjects that have hurt legal norms, as well as to resolve various (property, criminal, family, administrative...) legal disputes between entities and determine penalties against offenders of legal norms. Judicial authority in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not fulfilling its role efficiently and well. There are many reasons for this: longevity of court proceedings, a large number of pending cases, an insufficient number of judges, poorly paid judges, corruption, low level of computerization, poor communication between the media and the judiciary, rarely initiate disciplinary proceedings against judges and prosecutors. There is statistical data on the number of pending cases in various courts, which only confirms the ineffectiveness of the judicial authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order for Bosnia and Herzegovina to become part of the European union, it is necessary to make harmonization of regulations with European standards, which means to continue with the reforms initiated in the field of justice.
