Abstract

The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina receives a large number of appeals every day asking the
question of the application of Article II/3e) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Article 6(1) of the European
Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Basic Freedoms. The article presents the most common examples
of decisions of the Constitutional Court, which, in support of the long-standing case law of the former European Commission for Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, rejected the appeals as inadmissible, because the
proceedings in question do not fall within the scope of the right to a fair trial under Article II/3e) of the Constitution of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Article 6 (1) of the European Convention, these ratione materiae are incompatible with the
Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
