from Part II - Politics at the Edge of Law
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 December 2019
On 6 June 2002 the then High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Lord Paddy Ashdown, attended the inaugural session of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBiH) and addressed the assembled local and international dignitaries. Reflecting his responsibility for implementing the 1995 General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) and the legislative powers of the Office of the High Representative (OHR), Ashdown had recently imposed the creation of the CBiH in the face of domestic political opposition. In doing so, the legal territory of BiH was unified for the first time since the end of the 1992–1995 conflict, establishing a jurisdiction ‘above’ that of the two substate entities – the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Republika Srpska (RS).
