Polazeći od principa i ciljeva Povelje Ujedinjenih nacija;

 

Posvećeni liberalnoj demokraciji, miru, pravdi, solidarnosti i međusobnom razumijevanju;

 

Smatrajući da Bosna i Hercegovina treba biti sekularna država republikanske forme vlasti, na temeljima parlamentarne demokracije, vladavine prava i sa slobodnim i demokratskim izborima;

 

Opredijeljeni za suverenitet, teritorijalni integritet i političku nezavisnost Bosne i Hercegovine u skladu sa internacionalnim pravom;

 

Vođeni principima, vrijednostima i standardima Univerzalne Deklaracije o ljudskim pravima, Internacionalnog pakta o građanskim i političkim pravima, Internacionalnog pakta o ekonomskim, socijalnim i kulturnim pravima, Europske konvencije o ljudskim pravima i temeljnim slobodama, Deklaracijom o pravima lica koja pripadaju etničkim, vjerskim i jezičkim manjinama, kao i drugim instrumentima zaštite individualnih ljudskih prava te činom prijema Republike BiH u Ujedinjene nacije 22. maja 1992. godine;

 

Smatrajući da jednakopravnost, sloboda i prava građana Bosne i Hercegovine, kao nositelja državnog suvereniteta, treba biti garantirana, obezbijeđena i implementirana u svim aspektima društva;

 

Posebno smatrajući kako je Bosna i Hercegovina, država svih njenih građana, koji zajedno uz puno uvažavanje etničkih, vjerskih i kulturnih raznolikosti, tvore bosanskohercegovačku/bosansku naciju, koja je potvrđena prijemom u Ujedinjene nacije;

 

Uvažavajući sva dosadašnja mišljenja Venecijanske komisije o političkom, društvenom, izbornom i pravosudnom sistemu u Bosni i Hercegovini;

 

Uvidjevši kako sadašnji društveno-politički sistem urušava kulturu zajedničkog života, proizvodi etničke distance i konflikte među političkim elitama na štetu individualnih ljudskih prava;

 

Primjećujući vidan zastoj Bosne i Hercegovine na njenom putu ka punopravnom članstvu u Europsku uniju i NATO, tako što se svjesno koče reformski procesi, uključujući ispunjavanje 14 ključnih prioriteta iz Mišljenja Evropske komisije, kao i blokada u definisanju svakog Programa reformi Bosne i Hercegovine;

 

Naglašavajući potrebu da se politički, društveni i ekonomski sistem mora uskladiti sa normama, vrijednostima i standardima europske pravne stečevine (acquis communautaire) na kojima je temeljena Europska unija;

 

Svjesni kako aktuelni Ustav BiH sadrži utvrđenu sistemsku diskriminaciju građana na temelju njihove etničke pripadnosti i mjesta prebivališta, koja je posebno utvrđena presudama Europskog suda za ljudska prava iz Strazbura u predmetima: Sejdić-Finci, Zornić, Pilav, Šlaku, Pudarić i Kovačević;

 

Imajući u vidu viševjekovnu etnoteritorijalnu nepodijeljenost državnog prostora Bosne i Hercegovine, život u raznolikostima i jednakosti, Deklaraciju o pravima građana sa Drugog zasjedanja ZAVNOBIH-a (1. jula 1944. godine u Sanskom Mostu), Ustav Republike BiH, rezultate građanskog Referenduma (1992.) organizovanog na cijelom prostoru BiH i pod internacionalnim nadzorom i inicijativom;

 

Ubijeđeni da građanski konstituirani organi vlasti i pravične procedure najbolje stvaraju inkluzivne odnose unutar pluralističkog društva u kojem postoje jednake šanse za sve građane;

 

Uvažavajući sve presude Internacionalnog krivičnog suda u Hagu (ICTY) u kojima je utvrđeno počinjenje zločina genocida, ratnih zločina, zločina protiv čovječnosti i udruženih zločinačkih poduhvata koji su za cilj imali stvaranje mono-etničkih dijelova teritorija u Bosni i Hercegovini kroz etničko čišćenje, te naglašavajući da je u tim okolnostima oktroisan postojeći Ustav;

 

Odlučni  da izborno zakonodavstvo BiH ne smije da odstupa od europskih izbornih principa i standarda niti da se uvode dodatne diskriminacije građana u njihovom aktivnom i pasivnom izbornom pravu, niti da se stvara nejednaka vrijednost glasa građana temeljem etničke pripadnosti i mjesta prebivališta;

 

Ističući potrebu da ekonomski sistem Bosne i Hercegovine  funkcioniše na jedinstvenom tržištu u korist svih građana ove zemlje;

 

Nastojeći stvoriti pretpostavke za reformu sadašnjeg ustavnog uređenja ove zemlje i njegovo usaglašavanje sa zahtjevima europske pravne stečevine kao i temeljnim principima vladavine prava i liberalne demokracije, Asocijacija nezavisnih intelektualaca Krug 99 predlaže s l j e d e ć e:

Beginning from the principles and goals of the United Nation Charter;

 

Dedicated to liberal democracy, peace, justice, solidarity and mutual understanding;

 

Believing that Bosnia and Herzegovina should be a secular state with a republican form of government, based on parliamentary democracy, the rule of law and free and democratic elections;

 

Committed to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in line with international law;

 

Guided by the principles, values ​​and standards of the Human Rights Universal Declaration, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, as well as other instruments aimed at protecting individual human rights as well as by the act of admission of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the United Nations on 22 May 1992;

 

Considering that the equality, freedoms and rights of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the holders of state sovereignty, should be guaranteed, ensured and implemented in all aspects of society;

 

Considering in particular that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a state of all its citizens, who together with their ethnic, religious and cultural diversity being fully respected, form the Bosnia and Herzegovina/Bosnian nation, which was confirmed by our country’s admission to the United Nations;

 

Taking into account all the previous opinions of the Venice Commission on the political, social, electoral and judicial system in Bosnia and Herzegovina;

 

Recognizing how the current socio-political system is undermining the culture of togetherness, distancing ethnic groups, and creating conflicts among political elites to the detriment of individual human rights;

 

Noting the apparent stagnation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on its path towards full membership of the European Union and NATO, by deliberately hindering reform processes, including fulfilling the 14 key priorities set out in the Opinion of the European Commission, as well as blocking the defining of each Programme of reforms for Bosnia and Herzegovina;

 

Emphasizing the need for the political, social and economic system to be harmonized with the norms, values ​​and standards of the European Acquis Communautaire that the European Union is founded on;

 

Aware that the current Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been found to contain systemic discrimination of citizens based on their ethnicity and place of residence, which has been specifically established by the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in the cases: Sejdić-Finci, Zornić, Pilav, Šlaku, Pudarić and Kovačević;

 

Bearing in mind the centuries-old ethno-territorial indivisibility of the state territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its citizens living in diversity and equality, the Declaration on the Rights of Citizens from the Second Session of ZAVNOBIH (convened on 1st July 1944 in Sanski Most), the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the results of the Citizens' Referendum (1992) organized across the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and under the international supervision and initiative;

 

Convinced that civically constituted authorities and fair procedures best create inclusive relations within a pluralistic society in which there are equal opportunities for all citizens;

 

Recognizing all the verdicts of the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague (ICTY) which have established that the crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and joint criminal enterprises were committed with the aim of creating mono-ethnic areas of the territory in Bosnia and Herzegovina through ethnic cleansing, and emphasizing that the current Constitution was imposed in these circumstances;

 

Determined that the electoral legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina must not deviate from European electoral principles and standards, nor introduce further discrimination against citizens in their active and passive electoral rights, nor create inequality in votes of citizens based on their ethnicity and place of residence;

 

Emphasizing the need for the economic system of Bosnia and Herzegovina to operate in a single market to the benefit of all its citizens;

 

Seeking to create the prerequisites for the reform of the current constitutional arrangement of this country and its harmonization with the requirements of the European Acquis Communautaire as well as the fundamental principles of the rule of law and liberal democracy, the Association of Independent Intellectuals Krug 99 (Circle99) proposes the following:
