Description succincte (Allemand)

The context is well analysed and described in the first chapters of the Terms of references for this external review as well as in the internal reviewer’s paper (p3-5). I do not want to repeat them here. It has to be stressed however, that as a consequence of the incapacity of the BiH-authorities to implement the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Sejdic&Finci v. BiH of 22 December 2009 in a constitutional reform, the elections of the 3 October 2010 were organised in a way that did not prevent several articles of the European Convention of Human Rights to be violated(Art.14, Art.3 of Protocol 1 and Art.1 of Protocol Nr.12). This undermines the legitimacy of the political composition of the institutions which results out of this elections what might have a negative impact for the ability of these institutions to find the constitutional compromises this country so urgently needs.
