In Bosnia, War Crimes Compensation Failing Victims – But Not Those Acquitted

In Bosnia, those who were found not guilty of war crimes are receiving significantly more compensation than the victims of those crimes, leaving survivors in a prolonged state of neglect. While the acquitted get financial support almost immediately, victims often wait years, if not decades, for any form of reparations, sometimes never receiving them at all. This disparity highlights a systemic failure in addressing the needs of those who suffered during the conflict, raising serious questions about justice and equity in the region's post-war recovery efforts.
