The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared unconstitutional the Law on Non-Application of the Decision of the High Representative in the Republika Srpska (RS) entity, referring to the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica and the glorification of war criminals.
“The law on non-application of the decision of the High Representative on the amendment of the Criminal Code of BiH on the territory of the RS is not in accordance with Article 1.2 of the Constitution of BiH,” the Constitutional Court of BiH decided at the 128th Plenary Session in Brcko.
According to Mirsad Ceman, the Vice President of the Constitutional Court of BiH, “the Law ceases to be valid when the decision of the Constitutional Court of BiH is published in the Official Gazette.”
This decision was made based on the request for the assessment of the constitutionality of that Law, which was sent by seven delegates to the Council of Peoples of the RS. The delegates submitted the appeal to the Constitutional Court after the Constitutional Court of the RS rejected the veto of the Bosniak Caucus in the RS Council of Peoples on the adopted Law in September of last year.
In July 2021, the RS National Assembly adopted the Law on Non-Application of the Decision of the High Representative, which refers to the Law on Amendments to the Criminal Code of BiH under the urgent procedure. It was announced that former High Representative Valentin Inzko's decision will not be applied, and BiH Serb Presidency member Milorad Dodik said that it would not be published in the Official Gazette of the RS entity.
