Press statement | 20.10.2017 The Ombudsmen welcome the adoption of the Law on Uniform Principles and the Support Framework for "All" Persons with Disabilities in the Republika Srpska Disabilities, Illustration The Ombudsmen of Bosnia and Herzegovina supported the initiative for adoption of the Law on Uniform Principles and Support to "All" Persons with Disabilities in the Republika Srpska, which was initiated by the Center for Coordination and Support to Disabled Persons of "Eastern Herzegovina". At its 23rd session, the Committee on Health, Labor and Social Policy of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska considered this initiative, and on that occasion, in accordance with Article 191 of the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska, unanimously took the view that the initiative was justified, since it is necessary to regulate disability benefits and benefits for "civilian" (non-disabled) people with disabilities. The committee forwarded an opinion to the given initiative to the Legislative Committee for further action. The Ombudsmen of Bosnia and Herzegovina point out that this example points to the importance of civil society cooperation with the Ombudsmen, as an Institution for the protection and promotion of human rights, and competent decision-making bodies in order to improve citizens' rights.
