The way we govern the past to ensure peaceful futures keeps conflict anxieties alive. In pursuit of its own survival, permanence and legitimacy, the project of transitional justice, designed to put the 'Never Again' promise into practice, makes communities that ought to benefit from it anxious about potential repetition of conflict. Governing the Past: 'Never Again' and the Transitional Justice Project (Cambridge UP, 2025)challenges the benevolence of this human rights-led global project. It invites readers to reflect on the incompatibility between transitional justice and the grand goal of ensuring peace, and to imagine alternative and ungovernable futures. Rich in stories from the field, the author draws on personal experiences of conflict and transition in the former Yugoslavia to explore how different elements of transitional justice have changed the structure of this Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighbouring societies over the years. This powerful study is essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners interested in human rights and durable international peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Peace Matters, we examine Bosnia and Herzegovina thirty years after the Dayton Agreement - a moment marked by uncertainty and international attention. The recent elections in Republika Srpska have reopened debates about public sentiment in the entity, the resilience of ethno-political divisions, and whether new leadership signals real change or continued dominance by entrenched elites.We explore how Bosnia's institutions have evolved since Dayton and whether the country remains locked in a cycle of political deadlock sustained by patronage, constitutional rigidity, and competing nationalisms. At the same time, we look outward: how the United States, the European Union, Russia, and neighboring states such as Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary are shaping the country's trajectory through sanctions, diplomacy, and strategic alliances - raising the question of what Bosnia's future might look like if international supervision were strengthened, reformed, or removed altogether.Guests:Ferenc Németh is a Western Balkans expert and a PhD Candidate at the Corvinus University of Budapest.

What can world leaders embroiled in war and armed conflict today learn from history? 2025 marks 30 years since the Bosnian peace agreement was reached. Signed in December 1995, the Dayton Accords ended the three-year, ethnically fueled conflict and established peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some experts call it an "ugly peace" since there were significant obstacles to rebuilding areas. Valery Perry is a democratization policy expert based in Sarajevo. She joins us to discuss how the lessons from Bosnia can be applied to ending current wars and conflicts, including Russia's war on Ukraine, the war in Gaza, and more.

Today marks the signing of the historic 1995 Dayton Agreement, which brought over three years of brutal fighting in Bosnia to an end. The Agreement yields important lessons today about bridging deep divides and finding a path to peace even in the most improbable conditions. Two key architects of the Agreement, Carl Bildt, High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995-97), and Christopher Hill, former US Ambassador to Serbia, join Christiane to reflect on the challenges of reaching the agreement and how it can help guide solutions for today's most pressing conflicts.  Also on today's show: actor Tilda Swinton; sports journalist Joon Lee  Learn more about your ad choices.

Se cumplen 30 años desde que Alija Izetbegović, Franjo Tuđman y Slobodan Milošević, representantes de las tres comunidades étnicas constituyentes de Bosnia y Herzegovina, firmaron los conocidos Acuerdos de Dayton que pusieron fin al conflicto en este país. “Es muy difícil decir cuáles son los alcances de Dayton. Incluso hoy, 30 años después, su mayor logro se considera el haber detenido la guerra y haber establecido la paz. Pero con pleno derecho podemos hacernos la pregunta: ¿qué tipo de paz es esa? ¿Es una paz sostenible, si incluso 30 años después seguimos viviendo bajo tensión constante, bajo una amenaza permanente?”, estima Tanja Topic, periodista y analista política bosnia. Dayton logró imponer el alto el fuego tras más de tres años de guerra, y garantizó el retorno de refugiados y la protección de derechos humanos. Además, obligó a las partes a cooperar con el Tribunal Penal Internacional para la ex Yugoslavia. Sin embargo, también dejó al país dividido en dos entidades: la Federación Bosnia y Herzegovina –de mayoría bosniaca y croata– y la República Sprska –de mayoría serbia–, y el distrito autónomo de Brčko. Presidencia tripartita y divisón étnica Creó un sistema regido por una presidencia tripartita, y un Estado condenado a la presencia permanente de las fuerzas internacionales y supervisado por la figura del Alto Representante quien tiene amplios poderes para intervenir en la política del país, lo que limita la autonomía de Bosnia. “El acuerdo de paz de Dayton debía haber sido superado; es decir, pudo ser útil en el año 95, e incluso algunos años después, pero es completamente absurdo que hoy, debido a mi nombre y apellido, no pueda sentirme cómodo en alguna parte del país porque allí otro pueblo es dominante y porque alguna otra política nacionalista me discrimina basándose en mi nombre y apellido. Y eso lo permitió Dayton”, explica por su parte Jasmin Medic, investigador en el Instituto de Historia de la Universidad de Sarajevo. Hoy las carencias de Dayton están claras: una rigidez institucional que impide reformas, una división étnica que perpetúa tensiones y un carácter discriminatorio con las comunidades no constituyentes conocidas como “Las Otras”. Porque como denuncian organizaciones como Human Rights Watch e International Crisis Group, el modelo de Dayton, lejos de ser la solución, se ha convertido en el principal obstáculo para el futuro político, social y económico de Bosnia.

Nesta edição do Visto de Fora, Begoña Iñiguez e Olivier Bonamici avaliam a possibilidade de alargamento da União Europeia, um tema que vai ser formalmente debatido em dezembro. Ucrânia, Turquia, Geórgia, Bósnia-Herzegovina, Albânia, entre outros, são alguns candidatos a novos membros do projeto europeu. Para os comentadores do Visto de Fora, o alargamento deve “respeitar o espírito democrático”, caso contrário, a União Europeia “vai à vida”, sublinham. O caso BBC, com a manipulação de um discurso de Donald Trump, e a aprendizagem da língua portuguesa, são outros temas em debate.

When people go missing in war, their absence lingers far beyond the battlefield – splintering families, deepening social divides, and haunting political transitions. Yet amid this grief, the families of the missing often become unlikely peacebuilders: their search for truth draws them across old front lines, transforming pain into connection and personal loss into a collective force for reconciliation. In this post, Jill Stockwell, Simon Robins, and Martina Zaccaro explore how families of the missing – through shared advocacy and dialogue – can reshape divided societies. Drawing on ICRC research from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, and Nepal, they show how families who once faced each other as enemies now work side by side, using their moral authority and lived experience to foster empathy, resist manipulation, and model the very reconciliation peace processes often fail to achieve.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host Katherine LaGrave sits down with photographer Kari Medig, who has spent 15 years traveling the world documenting ski culture—from Austria's iconic Hahnenkamm downhill to landlocked Lesotho. But one region has captivated him above all others: the Balkans. Kari shares his journey through Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, revealing why these mountains—many higher than the Swiss Alps—offer something beyond world-class skiing. He discusses the unbelievable hospitality that keeps bringing him back, his unique analog photography approach using a Hasselblad film camera, and why he seeks out parking lot encounters as much as pristine powder. From a chance morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe to reconnecting with a Bulgarian café owner a decade later, Kari's stories illuminate how skiing becomes a lens for experiencing culture in its most authentic form. On this episode you'll learn: Why the Balkans' mountains are higher than many expect—and vastly underdeveloped for skiing How "Midwest Kind" isn't the only form of extraordinary hospitality—the Balkans surprised Kari with their warmth Why Kari shot his Balkan trips on film with a single Hasselblad camera instead of modern digital equipment How parking lots and ski rental shops become unexpected locations for the most meaningful photographs What makes skiing a unique way to participate in—not just observe—a culture Don't miss these moments: [02:00] Kari's first trip to Bulgaria in 2004 and his amazement at the scope of the mountains [03:00] The café owner who Kari reconnected with a decade later [05:00] Why Kari uses a Hasselblad film camera for his nostalgic, muted aesthetic [08:00] The ski hill in Bulgaria and why parking lots are Kari's favorite shooting locations [10:00] The last-morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe that captured the entire trip [12:00] Why people always ask Kari—who grew up skiing in Canada—"Why are you here? You have the best skiing in the world" Resources Explore Kari's complete Afar photo essay about skiing in the Balkans Follow Kari Medig for more ski culture photography Stay Connected Sign up for our podcast newsletter, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Behind the Mic⁠⁠⁠, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.  Explore our other podcasts, View From Afar, about the people and companies shaping the future of travel, and ⁠Travel Tales⁠⁠⁠, which celebrates first-person narratives about the way travel changes us.

The Red Dress, recently recognised by the Guiness World Records as the largest collaborative embroidery project, is a truly stunning piece of work. It was created by Kirstie Macleod, a British artist, over a period of 14 years with the help of 380 different embroiderers.The dress is made of 87 silk panels which have been embroidered by people from 51 different countries and includes techniques passed down through generations, the work of skilled crafts people and first time stitchers. There are purely decorative sections and others which reflect stories of trauma, resilience and healing. The embroiderers include female refugees from Palestine, Syria and Ukraine, women seeking asylum in the UK from Iran, Iraq, China, Nigeria and Namibia, survivors of war in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda and DR Congo. Now complete, The Red Dress tours museums and exhibitions around the world amplifying the voices of the people who have contributed to it. Kirstie has also recently published a fascinating and beautiful book about the project called The Red Dress - Conversations in Stitch.I was lucky enough to see The Red Dress for myself and hear Kirstie speak about this truly amazing project at World Stitch Day at Woven in Kirklees Festival this summer. I feel privileged to have been able to see it and hear just a few of the stories of the people behind this mammoth project.I hope you enjoy listening to this episode, if you would like to find out more about The Red Dress, please visit Kirstie's website for more info on its creation and where you can see it for yourself.For full show notes, please visit https://makingstitchespodcast.com/To join the mailing list for the Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this linkThe theme music is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.The Making Stitches logo was designed by Neil Warburton at iamunknown.You can support Making Stitches Podcast with running costs through Ko-fi.Making Stitches  Podcast is supported by the Making Stitches Shop which offers Making Stitches Podcast merchandise for sale as well as Up the Garden Path crochet patterns created by me & illustrated by Emma Jackson.Making Stitches Podcast is presented, recorded and edited by Lindsay Weston.

Join Kate Stanton Melendez for an interview with soft sculpture artist, performance artist, and college professor Kelly Boehmer.    Kelly has exhibited and performed her work nationally and internationally in over 175 exhibitions including shows in Baltimore, Dallas, Miami, New York City, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, San Juan, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.  She received her BFA in Studio Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA in Studio Art at the University of South Florida. She is a member of the performance art band, Glitter Chariot. Kelly is a Professor of Foundations Studies at Savannah College of Art and Design, in Savannah, GA.   Boehmer's soft sculptures combine tragic humor with a celebration of the hidden beauty found within anxiety. Her creatures serve as metaphors for personal struggles with anxiety and aging. She finds humor in her attempts to become "comfortable in my own skin" and to navigate these challenges, particularly with social anxiety. Though the imagery may appear grotesque, with flayed and molting forms, these creatures represent growth, transformation, and positive change. She uses glittery sheer fabrics and vivid faux fur, to contrast difficult emotions with inviting textures. This creates a tension between attraction and repulsion, softening the rawness of the subject matter and making it more approachable for the viewer. Many of her works draw inspiration from iconic pieces in art history, such as the Unicorn Tapestries, the Laocoön Group, Lion Hunt of Ashurbanipal, and The Arnolfini Portrait. Her aggressive hand-sewing technique is similar to an expressive line in drawing. A key element of the process involves repurposing materials from previous sculptures, cutting them up after an exhibition and combining them with upcycled taxidermy. This gives the materials a “second life,” creating a layered history of growth and change embedded within the pieces themselves.   Check out Kelly's work here: https://www.kellyboehmer.com/ Kelly Boehmer (@kelly.boehmer) • Instagram photos and videoshttps://www.instagram.com/kelly.boehmer/?hl=en   Buy Kelly's work from Cindy Lisica Gallery in the Atlanta Art Fair: https://artcloud.market/show/cindy-liscia-gallery-atlanta-art-fair   See her husband Chuck Carbia's work here: https://www.chuckcarbia.com/

After a period of political and economic crisis in the 1980s, the constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia split apart in the early 1990s. Unresolved issues from the breakup caused a series of inter-ethnic Yugoslav Wars from 1991 to 2001 which primarily affected Bosnia and Herzegovina, neighboring parts of Croatia and, some years later, Kosovo. The wars left economic and political damage in the region that is still felt decades later.Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog #3600:00 Intro7:13 The Day Robotropolis Fell Part 117:35 The Day Robotropolis Fell Part 226:57 The Day Robotropolis Fell Part 332:11 Outro-----Gotta Talk Fast is an oral review of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog.

Part 15- This is the fifteenth installment of a free reading of my 1st book entitled “The Constant Procession.” You'll hear it for free from cover to cover in 15-minute podcast segments! The Virgin Mary appears at Medjugorje in Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) in June 1981. Her earliest messages reinforce Gospel teachings by Christ on ways to live: “Love God and Neighbors, Faith, Prayer and Fasting.” “These are how a person can ‘return to God' and enjoy the ‘fullness of life.” Meanwhile a Pope and a President find renewed clarity of purpose as they recover from assassination attempts and continue to live on the ‘pointy edge of the sword.' The Communist Governments in Poland and East Germany become the focus of their attention.   There are links, photos and more about this on my website. Pray for this war in the Middle East to end. Also, Pray for the People of Ukraine. There are links for ways to support them on my website: NikosSteves.com   I have written a contemporary novel with Christian themes entitled "The Very Fine Light" Preview it for FREE and/or purchase "The Very Fine Light" at Amazon.com   I value feedback through the comments section on my website, NikosSteves.com Or via email at NikosSteves@gmail.com Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she passed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.

Our cohosts were surprised and delighted to learn, thanks to today's crossword, that there are four countries whose national anthems have no lyrics, and so people instead hum, or sing something along the lines of "na, na, na". The four countries in question are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, San Marino, and Spain. One of those appears in today's grid, and to preserve an air of suspense and mystery, we will defer identifying that country here in the show notes. We will say, though, that the crossword in general, courtesy of Gia Bosko, was quite well done, perfectly satisfying and suitable for a Friday: we give it 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Besides the crossword, we also have some very interesting listener mail, so be sure and check that out as well!Show note imagery: SAMUELCHASE, the only supreme court justice to have ever been impeached (but he was acquitted of all charges).We love feedback!

André Lemos and Tiago Cordeiro dive into Group C of the EuroBasket 2025 tournament. They break down what to expect from three of the key teams, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and potential matchups. First, they look at Greece, a team with a strong defensive foundation and the superstar power of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Can they finally put it all together and go deep into the tournament? Next, the guys discuss the host team, Cyprus, who come in as heavy underdogs. With the home crowd behind them, will they be able to make some noise? Finally, they examine a tough Bosnia & Herzegovina squad. Could their physical frontcourt with Jusuf Nurkić and Luka Garza make them a dark horse contender?

On this day in 1995, at the height of the war in the former Yugoslavia, the Bosnian Serb army captured what was supposedly the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica. In the ensuing days, thousands of Bosnian Muslim women were raped. 8000 Muslim men and boys were murdered. It was Europe's worst massacre since the Second World War.Also in the programme: a Liberian historian on whether his fellow citizens should be outraged by President Trump's remarking on the Liberian leader's "excellent English"; and Scottish writer Irvine Welsh on his sequel to Trainspotting 30 years on from the publication of the original novel.(Photo: Bosnian Muslim women react as they stand amid grave stones of victims killed during the Srebrenica genocide, at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potocari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 11 July 2025.

On July 11, 1995, Srebrenica – a small Yugoslav spa town, now located in Bosnia and Herzegovina – became the site of Europe's last genocide of the 20th century. Thirty years later, the town, whose population is now 60 percent Bosniaks and 40 percent Serbs, has not regained its former glory and remains haunted by the memory of one of the worst crimes of the Yugoslav wars.

Nesta conversa comprovei minha percepção de que em nosso planeta não existem fronteiras. Ao remover todos os bloqueios históricos e ideias equivocadas que nos afastam de culturas, povos, idiomas e crenças diferentes, podemos de fato abraçar terras estrangeiras que nos acolhem e viver integralmente as belezas de uma jornada de patriotismo global. Convido a todos para conhecer David Saunders, um inglês com espírito livre, fez uma carreira lindíssima nas Organizações das Nações Unidas, gerenciando importantes projetos em diversas áreas para o desenvolvimento econômico e social, integração e bem-estar de populações no Sudão do Sul, Albania, Cazaquistão, Bosnia e Herzegovina, Kenia, Malasia, Uganda, Oman, Qatar, Paquistão, Brasil entre outros. Depois dessa breve introdução, nos resta sentar com calma e curiosidade para tentar aprender lições de resiliência, humildade, sagacidade e empatia de quem viveu 500 anos em seus reluzentes 60, agora aposentado em terras Portuguesas se dedica aos prazeres refinados dos jogos de tabuleiro, a mesa de bilhar, uma boa cerveja na pressão e a conversar com seus amigos multi-nacionais. Neutralidade, simplicidade, amizades e bons relacionamentos e identificar o mito que afasta da missão são chaves para o sucesso sempre. Venha navegar pelas ondas das nações distantes dos eixos turísticos para entender o que é de fato ser Expatriado, trabalhar, viver, entregar-se a rotina de países exóticos, entender o significado da palavra missão, quando e onde o valor das coisas simples amplificam o significado do bem-estar individual e coletivo. (EN) LIVING ABROAD, FROM EMPLOYEE TO RETIRED In this conversation I confirmed my perception that Earth hasn’t had borders. By removing all historical bias and mistaken ideas which separate one from another cultures, peoples, languages ​​and beliefs, we can truly embrace foreign lands that welcome us and fully experience the beauty of a journey of global patriotism. I invite everyone to meet David Saunders, a British with a free spirit, who made an outstanding career in United Nations, managing important projects in various areas for economic and social development, integration and well-being of populations in South Sudan, Albania, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kenya, Malaysia, Uganda, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, Brazil, among others. After this brief introduction, we can only sit down relaxed and curious to try to learn lessons of resilience, humility, sagacity and empathy from someone who lived 500 years in his shining 60s, now retired in Portuguese lands, dedicating himself to refined pleasures of board games, pool table, good draft beers and chatting with his multinational friends. Come sailing the waves of nations far from the tourist hubs to understand what it really is living as an expatriate, working, dedicating yourself to the routine of exotic countries, understanding the meaning of “mission”, when and where the value of simple things amplifies the meaning of individual and collective well-being. Neutrality, simplicity, friendships and good relationships and identifying the myth that takes you away from your mission are always keys to success.
