This was the first time Bosnia participated as a member in a meeting of the ICC Bureau.

The Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute is the most important body of the ICC and consists of 21 countries elected for a three-year term.

“The election of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the ICC Bureau at the Assembly of Contracting Parties held in December in New York represents a recognition of the country for its consistent support for the work of the International Criminal Court, as well as the country's constant commitment to respect for international law and justice,” Bosnia’s Foreign Ministry said.

In the next three years, the ICC Bureau will consist of Finland, Sierra Leone, Poland, Bosnia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Cyprus, Ecuador, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Latvia, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Senegal, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland and Uganda.
