TRIAL BIH is a Programme of the TRIAL International’s operating in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2007. They work on combating impunity in the country by combining strategic litigation, provision of free legal assistance to survivors, domestic and international advocacy, and the capacity building of legal professionals, especially prosecutors. They provide support to survivors, including of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and have managed to secure several wins for compensation claims in Federation BIH and a mandatory instruction for prosecutors to pursue those, as well as contributed for children born out of war-time rape to be recognized as victims of war.
PeaceNexus is supporting TRIAL BIH’s organisational development since 2023 to strengthen internal systems and chart out a programme strategy that responds to the needs and the operating context and examine what that means for their internal setup and relationship with other parts of the organisation.
