MONITORING THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN'S HUMAN RIGHTS IN BIH

Abstract

The main intention of the work is to create an appropriate process for monitoring the human rights of children and a system for improving the perception of the problems faced by children in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in cases of violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina has made progress in the realization of children's rights in the last 25 years since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, there are still serious and numerous problems, the ombudsmen said on the occasion of Children's Week, adding that children and their rights are not priority in BiH. However, children rarely turn to ombudsmen, which certainly indicates the fact that much more needs to be done to promote children's rights, ombudsmen  institutions and empower, encourage children to take more active roles in their communities - school, family and the like.
