War Crimes Case Processing in Bosnia and Herzegovina (2004 – 2020)
In 2020, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina observed a further year-on-year decline in the number of completed war crimes cases. In 2020, only 18 proceedings against 31 defendants charged with war crimes were completed by the BiH judiciary. Since the Mission began to monitor war crimes processing in BiH in 2004, a total of 594 proceedings involving 904 defendants have been completed.
