Justice and Truth in BaH (public perspective)/ Pravda i istina u BiH iz perspektive javnosti (UNDP, EWR 2005)

Iz današnje perspektive evidentno je da je 2006. bila jedna od ključnih godina za budućnost Bosne i Hercegovine. Propusti koji su tada napravljeni doveli su do današnje kritične situacije. Nalazi ankete na kojima je Razvojni program UN-a, Ured za BiH, zasnovao izvještaj o mogućim putevima prevazilaženja posljedica rata, nisu uzeti u obzir od strane domaćih organa vlasti i međunarodne zajednice i, umjesto da se pristupi formiranju Komisije za istinu i pomirenje za koju se kao optimalno rješenje izjasnilo oko 55% građana, nastavilo se insistirati na manje efikasnim i mnogostruko skupljim rješenjima. Ukoliko bi se tadašnja situacija upoređivala sa današnjom, od posebnog značaja bi svakako bio odgovor na pitanje: Kako bi se po Vašem sudu trebalo postupiti sa osobama koje su tokom rata činile razne nepravde drugim ljudima, gdje su odgovori iz RS i FBiH bili gotovo identični i ukazivali su na to da građani smatraju da počinitelji nepravdi/ zločina trebaju odgovarati. Samo oko 3% ispitanika smatralo je da se počinitelji zločina/nepravdi trebaju amnestirati, odnosno oko 7% njih nije željelo odgovoriti na ovo pitanje. Poražavajuću je javno mnijenje u pogledu tek formiranog Odjela za ratne zločine pri Sudu BiH, gdje je oko 40% građana imalo relativno pozitivan stav u odnosu na ovaj Sud, a posebno je zabrinjavajuća činjenica da je na pitanje: Šta misite o pravosudnom sistemu BiH, oko 47% građana eksplicitno izjavilo da ne vjeruju ni u zakone, ni u suce koji na osnovu njih sude. 

  

From today's perspective, it is evident that 2006 was one of the crucial years for the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Failures and omissions from 2006 resulted in the critical situation the country is facing today. The findings of public opinion survey used by the report of the UNDP, Country Office in BaH on possible paths on facing the consequences of the war, were not taken into account by national authorities and the international community, and instead of working on the establishment of the truth and reconciliation commission, which was explicitly selected as an optimal solution by 55% of citizens, they continued to insist on less efficient and manyfold more expensive solutions. Should the situation then be compared to the situation today, a response to the question: In your opinion, how the perpetrators of different injustices to other people during the war should be treated - is especially indicative, as the results from both entities were almost identical. A vast majority of citizens from Republica Srpska and Federation BaH considered that the perpetrators of injustices/ crimes should be punished, while only 3% considered that they should be pardoned and around 7% refused to answer to this question. The public perception about the newly established War Crimes Section of the BaH Court was quite worrying, given that only

40% of citizens had relatively positive attitude towards this Court, while the fact that about 47% respondents, when asked about their opinion about the judicial system in BaH, explicitly stated that they did not have any faith in the laws and judges should have been particularly taken into concern.
