Human rights

Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe plays a crucial role for the success of the Regional Housing Programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Mission works to advance understanding of and respect for human rights. Its activities include close engagement with religious communities – both individually and collectively – and collaboration with international partners. It also works with domestic institutions to promote the conditions for the sustainable return of displaced persons and the development of stable and integrated communities.

The Mission monitors the implementation of the Regional Housing Programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In close co-operation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Mission assists the country’s relevant authorities to ensure the most vulnerable beneficiaries are selected as well as guaranteeing returnees and displaced persons have equal access to socio-economic rights and services.

The Mission also assists the country’s Ombudsman Institution, which handles complaints about discrimination in line with the law on prohibition of discrimination, to reach full compliance with international standards governing the work of national human rights institutions. It also works to enhance the capacity of human rights defenders to advocate for the enshrinement of fundamental rights and freedoms.
