This paper provides an overview of the major issues and recent developments in transitional justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It examines the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), local trials, the proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Srebrenica Commission, a draft on Law and Missing Persons, reparations, and the vetting of state instiutions. Due to the lack of a comprehensive transitional justice vision in the Dayton Agreement (which ended the war in 1995) efforts in BiH have been ad hoc and incomplete.
