The Dayton Peace Agreement which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) established the rights of the country's constituent people: Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs. The result of this has been that anyone who does not identify themselves with these groupings is highly limited in their exercise of rights, leading to the marginalisation of specific categories of the population. There is a pressing need for a comprehensive assessment of the effects of implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement on internally displaced people, with particular attention paid to the implementation of the recommendations of the UN treaty bodies and the Universal Periodic Review. A human rights-based approach should be used in all spheres of life in BiH, focusing on the needs of vulnerable groups and ensuring that returnees can access their rights relating to social protection, health care, education, housing, employment and security.
