Factsheet on Accountability for War Crimes
Courts and prosecutors’ offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) have been dealing with cases of war crimes since the end of the 1992-1995 war. In 2003, the newly established Court of BiH and BiH Prosecutor’s Office were given jurisdiction over these cases and a significant number of cases – over 100 – have been processed successfully since the institutions became fully operational in 2005.
