Ombudsmen of BiH - End discrimination of non-partisan candidates

FENA Press release

BANJA LUKA, February 19 (FENA) - The Institution of the Human Rights Ombudsmen of Bosnia and Herzegovina warned that one of the key demands in the process of combating corruption, establishing the rule of law and European integration, is depoliticizing public administration.

This implies, they remind, the appointment to the highest public functions, especially in public companies, institutions and agencies, of persons who are not party candidates.

The Ombudsmen primarily emphasize that such practice, that is present throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, excludes "non-partisan" candidates, and discrimination based on political orientation is expressly prohibited by the Constitution, Labor Law and international conventions that have direct application in the domestic legal system.

They also emphasize that the practice in which the management of public resources is entrusted to persons only on the basis of their party affiliation, rather than on the basis of quality and expertise, is unacceptable and the consequences of such negative selection are present and obvious every day.

The Ombudsmen urge the competent criminal prosecutors to investigate to what extent such appointments constitute trading in influence and other violations of the criminal law.

The Ombudsmen put forward the said position after having acted on the complaint of D.J. from Banja Luka, as well as having discussed the issue of appointing managers of public companies, institutions and bodies that are appointed to public positions as party candidates.
