Paragraph 58

The situation is different from that dealt with by the European Court of Human Rights’ judgments in Sedjić and Finci as well as in Zornić, where the Court applied certain human rights guarantees to the selection of representatives to the House of Peoples of BiH. In Sejdić and Finci as well as in Zornić, the European Court of Human Rights decided that the Convention rights were violated, because individuals were excluded from running for selection and this contravened the freedom from discrimination contained in Article 14 of the ECHR.
