This report addresses problems and confusion created by the labyrinth established by the three separate and conflicting legal systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH). Evidence presented in this paper proves that unexplained time delays, dubious application of law and blatant ethnic discrimination contribute greatly to the ad hoc nature of Bosnian justice. The paper scrutinizes six individual cases of ethnic and political discrimination and presents recommendations to counteract the apparent violations. The paper argues for the strengthening of the rule of law and of judicial and prosecutorial independence.
