The essay deals with the wearing of religious symbols within the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It outlines the protection of religious freedom and the church-state model underpinning the Bosnian legal order, before tracing the origins of the debate on religious symbols in judicial settings and beyond. The analysis then situates the Bosnian context within the broader framework of European Court of Human Rights case-law. It finally explores possible approaches to balancing individual freedom of religion with the principle of judicial neutrality in Bosnian courtrooms.

Abstract

The essay deals with the wearing of religious symbols within the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It outlines the protection of religious freedom and the church-state model underpinning the Bosnian legal order, before tracing the origins of the debate on religious symbols in judicial settings and beyond. The analysis then situates the Bosnian context within the broader framework of European Court of Human Rights case-law. It finally explores possible approaches to balancing individual freedom of religion with the principle of judicial neutrality in Bosnian courtrooms.
