CLAIM: “HJPC was formed through the violence of High Representative Paddy Ashdown, without any consent.”

FACT: Entity competencies in this field were validly transferred to Bosnia and Herzegovina through an agreement signed by both the entities and the state in accordance with Article III.5. of the BiH Constitution. This was followed by the adoption of the Law on HJPC by the BiH Parliamentary Assembly in 2004.

The BiH Constitutional Court reviewed the law on HJPC and concluded that it was fully in line with the constitution.
