History

edit

Following the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees began to operate at the level of the newly established Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the end of the Bosnian War, and the signing of the Dayton Agreement, the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of the Republika Srpska started functioning like the present-day national Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees.

In 2000, the both entity Ministries of Human Rights and Refugees merged into the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Martin Raguž becoming the first minister.[2]
