Bosnia Urged to Accelerate Wartime Rape Prosecutions
Bosnia has failed to provide justice for thousands of women who were raped during the 1992-95 war and must speed up prosecutions and ensure victims get compensation, a new Amnesty International report said.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: “We need support, not pity”: Last chance for justice for Bosnia’s wartime rape survivors
Two decades after the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, many of the estimated 20,000 women who had been subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence are still battling with the pervasive and devastating consequences of these crimes. This report paints a bleak picture of the conditions in which many survivors live today and shows how a combination of factors has resulted in the failure of the authorities to provide the victims with meaningful justice and reparation for the crimes they suffered.
