It will soon be 30 years since the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Despite the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina's membership in the UN and the Council of Europe, and recently obtaining the status of EU candidate country, the human rights situation in BiH remains unsatisfactory. The aim of this article is to analyse the situation of human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the last few years, however, in a slightly broader historical context, taking into account the role of the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. This article is divided into three parts. The first part presents the role of the Tribunal, the second part analyses documents and institutions for the protection of human rights, and the third part demonstrates how the state implements human rights.
