POLITICAL LIFE AND DECISION-MAKING
POLITICAL LIFE AND DECISION-MAKING

Summary/Abstract: Equal participation of women and men in public and political life is one of the foundations of democratic society. UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women defines discrimination against women as any distinction, restriction or exclusion made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying enjoyment of human rights in all fields, including political life. As one of the signatories of the Convention which is integrated into its Constitution, Bosnia and Herzegovina is obliged to take all appropriate measures in order to implement the Convention. However, BiH has not seriously committed to implementation of the Convention, the evidence of which can be found in the conclusions of the UN Committee for Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women published in November 2019.
