Transitional Justice Efforts and Reconciliation Dynamics in Bosnia and Herzegovina
摘要
The achievement of goals of transitional justice is vital for the bright future, lasting peace, and stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region of Western Balkans. Despite almost thirty years since the Dayton Peace Agreement, the goal of transitional justice remains unresolved. Challenges have hindered the process and obstructed reconciliation. The passage of time has made it harder to access perpetrators, victims, and witnesses, raising concerns about the effectiveness of future legal procedures. The insufficient number of resolved cases highlights slow justice, while rising genocide denial undermines reconciliation efforts. Additionally, political interference and a lack of preventive measures present ongoing obstacles. This article will explore the effectiveness of transitional justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina, address these challenges, and propose solutions. The research will use normative, descriptive, and historical legal methods to assess the situation and suggest ways to improve the justice system.
