Rule of law: Electoral changes in Bosnia-Herzegovina lead to charges of 'ethnic gerrymandering'

Bosnia-Herzegovina’s national and regional elections in early October were remarkable due to an unusual move by the Office of the High Representative (OHR), the internationally-appointed body with oversight of the country. After polls closed on 2 October, the OHR – installed at the end of the Balkans War in 1995 – implemented a new electoral law. The law had been introduced in July but the detail had yet to go ‘live’.
