Summary/Abstract: At the First Session of ZAVNOBIH, the councilors adopted the Resolution of ZAVNOBIH and the Proclamation to the People of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which emphasize that BIH and its peoples in Croatia and abroad can be respresented only by ZAVNOBIH and AVNOJ. The second session of ZAVNOBIH is related to the beginning of the normative activity of the national authorities in BiH in the sense of the establishment of a new legal order. By adopting the Declaration on the Rights of the Citizens of BIH (a document that had the constitutional character), basic human rights were guaranteed, namely equality of peoples (Serbs, Muslims and Croats), freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of gathering and agreement, freedom of association and press, personal and property safety of citizens, gender equality etc. By this, BIH nation became a political nation and BIH itself became the state of citizens, not only of the three ethnic communities. The acts of ZAVNOBIH, which were at the level of today’s European standards, were adopted even before their adoption in the UN organization and before the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights from 1966, by the far-reaching nature of their perpetrators. Today, BIH has adopted and incorporated the highest international standards of human freedom into its constitution, striving for other Euro-Atlantic integrations, thus fulfilling the normative assumptions. In practice, most of human rights are violated today, and in the close past we have experienced the worst forms of human rights violations. Such a development of rights again points to the need to remember and give importance to the documents of ZAVNOBIH.
