(20) While noting the adoption of the Law on Missing Persons and the oral information provided by the State party’s delegation, the Committee remains concerned about the lack of full implementation of the law and in particular the creation of relevant institutions foreseen in the law. The State party should intensify its efforts to establish the Institute for Missing Persons and the Fund for Support to the Families of Missing Persons, and the Central Record of Missing Persons. The State party should also ensure that available avenues for compensation are used in a non-discriminatory manner. (21) While noting the efforts made by the State party to combat trafficking for sexual slavery, the Committee is concerned that only a small number of cases have actually been investigated and prosecuted and that mainly fines and light sentences have been imposed in the cases that have been pursued. The Committee is also concerned about the alleged complicity of the police and border authorities. In addition, the entity-level laws, i.e. the criminal codes and criminal procedure codes, are not fully harmonized with the federal-level legal provisions. The State party should: (a) Take the necessary measures to ensure that all law enforcement officials fully and promptly investigate all alleged cases of trafficking in persons and that offenders are prosecuted; (b) Consider amending the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code to ensure that persons convicted of trafficking receive punishments that reflect the seriousness of the crime; (c) Ensure the full implementation of the Law on the Movement and Stay of Aliens and its by-law on protection of victims of trafficking; (d) Ensure that victims of trafficking obtain redress and have an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation. (22) The Committee notes that much information was provided in the State party’s report on a number of situations, but that this information was not disaggregated in the way requested by the Committee, thereby hampering the identification of possible patterns of abuse or measures requiring attention. The State party should provide in the next periodic report detailed statistical data, disaggregated by gender, ethnicity or nationality, age, geographical region, and type and location of place of deprivation of liberty, on complaints related to cases of torture and other ill-treatment, including those rejected by the courts, as well as related investigations, prosecutions, and disciplinary and penal sanctions, and on the compensation and rehabilitation provided to the victims. (23) The State party is encouraged to disseminate widely the reports submitted by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the conclusions and recommendations, in appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. Furthermore, the Committee encourages the State party to discuss the conclusions and recommendations broadly, including with the Offices of the Ombudsman and non-governmental organizations, in particular those that submitted information to the State party and participated in the preparation of the report. (24) The Committee requests that the State party provide, within one year, information on its response to the Committee’s recommendations contained in paragraphs 10, 11, 15, 19 and 21 (a) above. (25) The State party is invited to submit its next periodic report, which will be considered as the combined second to fifth report, by 5 March 2009, the due date of the fifth periodic report. 16
