The Situation of Human Rights Defenders in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Good Practices and Protection Gaps

This report provides a summary of ODIHR’s findings from the visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina in November 2021 in which ODIHR held dozens of meetings with State and civil society stakeholders, supported by desk research. In this context, ODIHR collected information about the good practices and gaps in the protection of the physical integrity, liberty, security and dignity of human rights defenders (HRDs), and other aspects of a safe and enabling environment for human rights work. Besides offering assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina, ODIHR seeks to use the findings more broadly and assist participating States across the OSCE region on measures they could take to advance the situation of HRDs.
