Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Compliance with CEDAW
Suggested List of Issues Relating to Domestic Violence, 74th Session of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (Pre-Sessional Working Group)
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is composed of two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska (RS), and one self-governing district, District
Brcko. The two entities are highly autonomous. Each has its own constitution, judicial
systems, and legislatures. The national legislature has authority over limited issues, and
most legislative functions occur at the entity level.
