Recommendation to Čapljina Municipal Court

On 25 January 2022, IHROBiH received a complaint concerning violations of Article 6 paragraph 1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

1. To take a decision in this case in keeping with the standards referred to in Article 6, paragraph 1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms;
