Amendment to the act on civilian victims of war and the legal situation of children of war rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2023-03) Czeszejko-Sochacka, Katarzyna
War rape is a phenomenon that occurs in almost every armed conflict. The circle of victims includes not only the persons directly affected by this crime, but also their next of kin. Unwanted pregnancies as a result of wartime rape result in children who, from the moment they are born, are treated as inferior persons. Apart from marginal cases, the internal laws of individual states do not grant them any protection or compensation. For some time now, however, a change in this direction has been evident on the international stage. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the first European country which has responded to these calls and has taken steps to change the status of children from war rape.
Działalność misji OBWE w Sarajewie w zakresie budowy systemu ochrony praw mniejszości narodowych w Bośni i Hercegowinie ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sytuacji Romów
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Natanek, Mirosław
The OSCE mission in Sarajevo started soon after the Dayton Accords had been signed. Apart from monitoring of the implementation of this peace agreement, one of the main areas of OSCE's activity has been promoting and helping to build the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A special task has been to create state mechanisms for monitoring the observance of basic human rights in this ethnically and socially divided country. This paper will therefore analyse the activity of the OSCE mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) in the above mentioned area, with particular emphasis placed on the situation of the Roma population in this country. It will also be an attempt to assess B&H's achievements so far as well as the main setbacks and obstacles in the normalisation process and to approaching international standards.
Some remarks on the issues of the consequences of war rape on the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022) Czeszejko-Sochacka, Katarzyna
The civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was one of the bloodiest armed conflicts after the end of the Second World War. Despite the passage of years, it is still a painful part of reality for a large group of the country's population. During the war, human rights were violated in the form of ethnic cleansing, murders, and so-called genocidal rapes. Women who were raped face social stigma to this day. According to conservative estimates, approx. 4000 children were born as a result of rapes. Today, the adult generation of "children of shame" experiences social ostracism in almost all spheres of life. Their situation is affected by the fact that they are not recognized as "victims of war" under the current regulations. This situation is slowly beginning to change, but it is a long-term process that requires intensified efforts not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in the international arena.
