Ensuring Justice for Victims of Trafficking in Human Beings: Response of the criminal justice system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with recommendations
This is the second public report by the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the monitoring of human trafficking and related cases completed before courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After a review of relevant international standards and the national anti-trafficking legal framework, it examines abilities of the national criminal justice system to: effectively prosecute human trafficking and adequately punish those responsible for it; treat victims with dignity while protecting them from harmful consequences of their involvement in criminal proceedings; and facilitate victims’ right to seek compensation from offenders. The report closes with specific recommendations targeted at several key actors. These aim to improve the criminal justice response to human trafficking in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
