HIGH REPRESENTATIVE’S LEGISLATIVE POWERS HAVE NEVER BEEN VALIDLY ESTABLISHED

WASHINGTON, AUGUST 8 /SRNA/ – The High Representative in BiH has never been authorized to enact laws, either under the UN Charter, the Constitution of BiH or other legal documents recognizing the right to self-determination. Therefore, all acts imposed by the High Representative, invoking the so-called Bonn powers, are void, according to a paper authored by Joseph Schmit and Brian Kennedy of prestigious Harvard University.
