  1. “With regard to recent developments in the Peace Implementation Council Steering Board in Sarajevo related to the appointment of a new High Representative, the United Nations is not a member of the Steering Board and therefore did not participate in the process. Let me also add, for the sake of clarity, that the United Nations was not a signatory to either the Dayton Peace Agreement or its annex 10. The United Nations remains committed to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina on its path towards sustainable peace and development and looks forward to continuing its work with all stakeholders in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as regional and international partners towards the achievement of peace and stability in the country and the wider region.”

  2. “Over the past years, many people — including youth — have been leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina to search for a better future elsewhere. Young people have an important role to play in shaping the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their voices must be heard. The United Nations has been working with the Government, municipalities and civil-society organizations in support of the empowerment of women and youth. The United Nations has also been supporting the work of the Tirana-based Regional Youth Cooperation Office, which aims to enhance regional cooperation and foster reconciliation among young people in the region, including in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  3. “As agreed with the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, our support over the next five years will focus on sustainable, resilient and inclusive growth; quality, accessible and inclusive education, health and social protection; people-centred governance and the rule of law; and citizen and community engagement for social cohesion. In all those areas, we continue to work closely with our partners, including the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the European Union. Amid divisions and lack of consensus, progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina has proved challenging over the past period. More needs to be done to advance much-needed reforms, including in the area of the rule of law and electoral reform.”

  4. “The United Nations will continue to support Bosnia and Herzegovina in its COVID-19 response and socioeconomic recovery. The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals continues to drive the work of the United Nations on the ground, in support of the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the people of Bosnia. Under the new five-year United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, signed in May, the United Nations committed to supporting the Government and all people in Bosnia and Herzegovina to live longer, healthier, more prosperous and secure lives.”

  5. “Their work in bringing people together in their immediate community constitutes hope for the future and merits full recognition and support from the authorities, the media and the international community. As the Secretary-General said in December last year, political, religious and community leaders, educators, civil society, the media and all the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina have a critical role to play in moving forward together from a difficult past and towards a brighter future. Bosnia and Herzegovina, like the rest of the world, continues to face the unprecedented coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its consequences. Now is the time to come together and work jointly and at all levels to overcome this health crisis and build back better.”

  6. “Wairimu Nderitu, expressed concern about that trend and called for an increased commitment to trust-building and reconciliation, starting with mutual understanding and respect for the grief of all victims as a basis for constructive dialogue on moving the country forward.

She also paid tribute to the important work of local peace champions across the country, who are working to build trust within their communities, including in the field of education.”

  7. “Mr. Lecoq: I thank you for this opportunity to brief the Council on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. While there has been progress in certain areas, we remain concerned at the overall situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina with regard to the consolidation of peace and reconciliation. Above all, we continue to witness practices that, far from dealing with the scars of the past, contribute to polarization and hinder the prospect of prosperity and stability, not only for Bosnia and Herzegovina but also for the region. These include persistent instances of revisionist narratives, divisive rhetoric, denial of genocide and war crimes, glorification of convicted war criminals and hate speech. During her 10-day visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina earlier this month, the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Ms.”
