FREEDOM
HOUSE: CERTAIN PROGRESS, BUT ETHNIC DIVISIONS STILL PRESENT IN BiH
This
is an extract form a recently released annual report by the Freedom House
non-governmental organisation on political rights and civil liberties in the
world, which concerns BiH.
Ethnic
division in BiH is hindering political progress. During the last several years
OHR imposed 473 pieces of legislation, which local politicians were not willing
to adopt, the report states.
Expansion
of independent electronic and printed media is evident in BiH, but the most
prominent feature of journalism in the country is a low level of professional
ethics. BiH journalism is limited also by its dependence on foreign donations
and the fact that the majority of media are speaking to their ethnic groups,
the Freedom House stated in its report.
About
religious freedoms the report states that individuals in areas with an ethnic
majority of their group enjoy freedom, but that in areas where they are in
minority they face discrimination and harassment.
Freedom
House thinks that judiciary is still under a strong influence of national
parties and that judges who show independence suffer various forms of
intimidation as a consequence.
A
new law was adopted in March allowing BiH authorities to prosecute individuals
indicted by the ICTY for war crimes.
Corruption
in the judiciary, police and civil services represents an obstacle for the
establishment of rule of law in BiH.
Return
of refugees in 2003 has dropped because of the poor economic situation and because
a large number of claims for the return of property have not been resolved.
By
law the rights of women in BiH are equal to those of men, but they are not
present in politics, government and they are often discriminated against in
employment. Trafficking in women is also a large problem in post-war BiH, the
Freedom House stated in its annual report.

ICMP
RECEIVES DONATION FROM HOLLY CHAIR
The
latest donation of 5.000 USD will significantly contribute to the work and activities
of ICMP. The Holly Chair has been donating funds to ICMP since 2002 and
significantly contributes to the work of the Commission, ICMP stated on Monday.
Apostolic
Nuncio to BiH Santos Abril y Castello underlined the importance which the Holly
Church gives to the work of ICMP and expressed compassion of the Holly Chair
towards families whose relatives went missing during the conflicts. He
expressed hope that the faith of missing persons would soon be resolved and
that their families would finally find peace.
The
large number of missing persons represents an obstacle to the post-conflict
development of institutions, as well as peace initiatives and reconciliation.
ICMP
is working with other international organisations and is ensuring support to post-conflict
countries in their efforts to resolve the issue of missing person and identify
a large number of missing persons from recent conflicts throughout the region
of former Yugoslavia
ICMP
was established in 1996 at the G-7 Summit in Lyon , France
