Abstract

The Act on Prohibition of Discrimination of Bosnia and Herzegovina lays down a number of specific provisions and principles aimed at providing legal protection against discrimination, particularly when it comes to civil procedure. Novelties promulgated by this enactment include but are not limited to the provisions requiring urgent implementation procedure, the opportunity for parties to combine (cumulate) multiple legal actions within a single law suit, the reversed burden of proof (onus probandi) in favor of a victim of discrimination, the opportunity for the third parties to participate in a procedure, the opportunity to file class law suits, the prohibition of victimization as well as other specific provisions. The purpose of this reform is to provide a higher level of legal protection to victims of discrimination and to raise the efficacy and expediency of judicial mechanisms dealing with cases involving discrimination.
