| Abstract: |
The civil war of 1992-1996 caused great environmental damage in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Environmental health of post-conflict regions is often considered a secondary issue, however this will receive increased attention as political and economic development proceeds. There are several reasons why the ecological condition of a postconflict area is, on the contrary, of principal concern, including the limitations presented by damaged ecosystems, the health threats posed by environmental harm, and the prospect that co-operation towards environmental policymaking can act as a platform for further conciliatory efforts. This paper assesses the impact on the ecology that the 1990 Bosnian war had and offers a brief introduction to environmental security issues and the challenges faced by Bosnia Herzegovina.
