Bosnia and Herzegovina

ICG has provided detailed analysis and constructive criticism of the peace implementation process in Bosnia & Herzegovina since early 1996. This long engagement has permitted ICG to speak with authority regarding both the achievements and the failures of the international community's "state-building" efforts in BiH - and to become a vital source of information and policy advice for foreign and domestic authorities, academics and journalists.

Recent ICG reports on war criminals, legal reform, the economy, the police, refugee return and political currents have not only influenced specific decisions of policy-makers, they have also helped to define the terms in which issues are considered. Although based in Sarajevo, the ICG's team of experienced analysts travels and maintains contacts throughout the country and region.
