On behalf of the 150 partner NGOs, TRIAL, MyRight and the Justice Network in BiH presented some of the key recommendations of the United Nations Universal Periodic Review on February 11, 2015 in Sarajevo. This relatively new instrument of the United Nations Human Rights Council examines and assesses the human rights situation in all countries. In November 2014, BiH received 167 recommendations submitted by other states, non-governmental organizations or UN agencies. The common conclusion of all the organizations that participated in the preparation of the report is that the authorities should form the government as soon as possible, immediately adopt the recommendations and start their implementation without delay.
