Subject(s): Constitutional Law, Governance, Transformation Period (1990 - 2010)
Published by: ESI – European Stability Initiative
Keywords: High Representative; Lord Ashdown;
Summary/Abstract: We would like to explain why we think that the extraordinary powers of the High Representative are no longer an appropriate tool of international assistance to Bosnia. We believe that they have become counterproductive – an obstacle to the development of effective institutions and a healthy democratic process. We would also like to put forward for your consideration a concrete proposal for how the powers of the High Representative should be phased out. (beginning of the Letter)
