| Sumario: | Abstract:The present paper draws on the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, resulted from the Dayton Peace Agreement, in order to explain how the elements of federalism and consocia-tionalism can become important tools in the field of transitional justice. By combining feder-alism and consociationalism, it will be demonstrated how shared-rule and self-rule can be use-ful in addressing the demands of territorially concentrated ethnic groups for more autonomy and self-government, while at the same time preserving the territorial integrity of the state. It also explains the role of post-conflict constitutional design processes on their ability to recon-cile groups, to address intolerable grievances and to prevent further polarization by providing a common vision of the future of a state. |
