Description

The delicacy of our task stems from the need to reconcile and harmonize human rights granted to all individuals with the obligatory restrictions immanent to the armed service. In accordance with the existing practice in modern European countries, the need arose to ensure the exercise of human rights for the individuals within that walk of life, at least inasmuch as it is feasible in such conditions, and, at the same time, without impeding normal functioning of the armed forces in terms of its defensive role. With this premise in mind, the objective of our research in Bosnia and Herzegovina is to examine the relationship between freedom of an individual member of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the need to successfully perform primary duties of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This task is especially delicate since, this is the first time that in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the concept of professional armed forces was introduced instead of former compulsory military service.
