CCPR/C/BIH/CO/2 provides that persons suspected of criminal offences can be placed in pretrial detention if the alleged offence is punishable by a prison sentence exceeding 10 years, solely on the ground that the judge finds that reasons of public security or security of property warrant such detention, remains on the statute book (art. 9). The Committee reiterates its previous concluding observation (CCPR/C/BIH/CO/1, para. 18) and recommends that the State party should consider removing from the Code of Criminal Procedure of the State party the ill-defined concept of public security or security of property as a ground for ordering pretrial detention of individuals that are considered a threat to public security or property. 16. The Committee recalls its previous observations (CCPR/C/BIH/CO/1, paras. 20 and 21) and remains concerned that a considerable number of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons have still not been resettled and continue to reside in collective centres (art. 12) The Committee reiterates its previous recommendations (CCPR/C/BIH/CO/1, paras. 20 and 21) and recommends that the State party should expedite efforts for the resettlement and return of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons in order to complete the phasing-out of collective centres. In this regard, the State party should continue to take practical measures aimed at providing adequate alternative housing to the residents of collective centres and the creation of the necessary conditions for sustainable returns and resettlement. 17.

The Committee is concerned at reports that public announcements were made that any failure to comply with the prohibition and the use of the term “genocide” when referring to the crimes committee in Omarska would be prosecuted (arts. 19 and 21). The State party should ensure that restrictions on freedoms of expression and assembly comply with the strict requirements of articles 19 and 21 of the Covenant respectively.
