Summary
There have been a number of moments in this book where the inconsistent and overlapping aspects of the legal system in BiH have been evident. The establishment of the WCC in the CBiH – despite the state-building rhetoric that surrounded its formation – has produced a series of struggles over the appropriate form and purpose of law. The requirement to enrol civil society actors, the focus of Chapters 4 and 5, has illuminated the plural spaces both formal and informal, in which transitional justice has been enacted. One aspect of this process that has, so far, received less attention is the legal code that underpins the production of the WCC. One of the reasons for delaying this discussion is that it requires a consideration of the future enactment of transitional justice both in BiH and elsewhere. Across these final two chapters I am seeking to examine the implications of the institutions and laws enacted in BiH for both interventions in other post-conflict scenarios and the ambiguous role of law in consolidating states.
