Ebook: Criminal Prosecutions of Foreign Terrorist Fighters in Bosnia and Herzegovina

From 2014 to 2022, 35 individuals were prosecuted before the Court of BiH for criminal offenses related to terrorist activities on foreign battlefields. While a handful of independent and investigative media outlets have reported on the issue of foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) and related criminal legal processes in BiH (e.g., BIRN, 2020abc), there are no academic or expert studies on judicial responses to the crimes of FTFs. Hence, this publication will: analyze criminal cases related to the departures and activities of FTFs (as of June 2022), meaningfully compare legal practices in selected European judiciaries with practices in BiH, and provide recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.
