Assessment of the Work of Bosnia and Herzegovina Institutions in Combating Discrimination
The Law on Prohibition of Discrimination (LPD) was adopted by the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Parliamentary Assembly in 2009. It was subsequently amended in 2016, with the goal of strengthening BiH mechanisms designed to fight discrimination, particularly against persons of vulnerable social categories.
Ten years following the LPD’s adoption, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina is issuing this report in order to present its analysis of three key institutional actors with the mandate and competencies to combat discrimination in BiH: the judiciary, the Institution of Human Rights Ombudsman/Ombudsmen of BiH and the BiH Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees.
