While the international judicial and policy framework on gender-sensitive TJRNR has advanced in the past decades, an effective and integral approach to meeting the divergent needs of women and men has not yet been achieved. Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a case in point. It is in the concrete implementation of TJRNR-processes that the main obstacles are found: it remains more difficult for women in BiH to have access to, participate in and benefit from processes of TJRNR. This report includes an extensive list of recommendations to improve current, and more urgently, future TJRNR mechanisms at different levels in BiH society. (See esp. chapter 7).
