As Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multiethnic, multinational and multireligious country according to the highest legal and political document - the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, human rights and basic freedoms are a very important topic to be discussed, especially in the area of freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The freedom of thought, conscience and religion is considered to be among the ‘pain points’ of the democracy in general – being characterized as the most sensitive and controversial freedom among others. Taking into concern the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a post-war aftermath – from the war that is widely considered by scholars to be (at least partially) fueled with cultural/religious differences, this paper reflects on the human rights segment in the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and discusses the importance of International Conventions on Human Rights in the realm which is constantly under the pressure of being abused for nationalistic premises.
