A/HRC/44/42/Add.2 and Refugees is the responsible authority overseeing a person who has been granted refugee status or subsidiary protection. 18. The Law on the provision of free legal aid 5 in Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted in 2016. Until the adoption of that State law, the free legal aid system in Bosnia and Herzegovina was fragmented. Some entities and cantons enacted laws and established institutions to provide free legal aid. Pursuant to the State Law on the provision of free legal aid, the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the implementation of the Law. A legal aid office was established to provide those services. 2. National human rights institution 19. The Institution of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina, established in 1996, has A status accreditation granted by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions. As an independent institution, the Institution of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina handles complaints related to the poor functioning of, or human rights violations committed by, any authority of Bosnia and Herzegovina, its entities and the Brčko District. There are three ombudspersons in the Institution. In November 2018, the Institution published a special report on migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina.6 3. Coordination Body for Migration 20. The State-level Coordination Body for Migration was established following decisions adopted by the Council of Ministers in 2013 and 2016.7 The Coordination Body is headed by the Ministry of Security and composed of representatives from all levels of government. As an operational headquarters, the Coordination Body was mandated to coordinate all activities related to migration with the competent institutions and agencies, as well as with established headquarters or other bodies at the entity and Brčko District levels and with international organizations and non-governmental organizations, in order to overcome the migration crisis. The Coordination Body is also tasked with proposing measures, decisions and procedures, through the Ministry of Security, to the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina and appropriate institutions and agencies to address the migration crisis. 21. At the time of the visit of the Special Rapporteur, the Coordination Body for Migration had not yet adopted a comprehensive strategy for providing a durable solution to the current migration situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Coordination Body had failed to allocate in a timely manner suitable premises as reception centres for accommodating asylum seekers and migrants. The lack of preparedness and of a strategy of the State-level authorities, despite their being aware of the arrival of migrants, including asylum seekers, has generated frustrations among ordinary citizens. The Special Rapporteur notes with concern the challenges faced by the Coordination Body in enforcing its decisions at the entity, cantonal and municipal levels. In that regard, at the time of reporting, the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina informed the Special Rapporteur that a new decision on the Coordination Body had been prepared, with a view to enlarging the scope and enhancing the level of representation of the relevant authorities in the Coordination Body. 22. In addition to the State-level Coordination Body for Migration, there are similar bodies at the entity level. In August 2018, the “coordination body to monitor the movement of illegal migrants across the territory of Republika Srpska” was established to monitor the 5 6 7 Bosnia and Herzegovina, Official Gazette, No. 83/16.

In 2013, the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the decision establishing the Coordination Body for Migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The decision amending the decision on the establishment of the Coordination Body, in 2016, extended the competence of the Coordination Body, so that in case of migration emergencies or an anticipated migration emergency, the Coordinating Body also acts as the Operational Headquarters for Migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will also include representatives of the headquarters at the entity and Brčko District levels.
