While the right to vote is often correlated with democracy, the closely related right to be elected is often neglected, and the constitutions of most countries are silent about it. The 2009 European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) decision in the case of Sejdi? and Finci v. Bosnia and Herzegovina started the discussions concerning the discrimination in enjoyment of the right to be elected in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the right to be elected is not explicitly guaranteed in the Dayton Constitution but only in the Law on Election, the ECtHR considered equal enjoyment of this right by everyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina of high importance and declared the relevant Dayton Constitution?s provisions discriminatory. The book explains the conceptual relevance of the right to be elected, its interrelatedness with the right to vote and both these rights? significance for democratic systems. Through analyzing and explaining the regional human rights tribunal?s decisions concerning the right to be elected, the importance of this political right is elucidated. 410 0$aBalkan politics and society. 606 $aBosnia and Herzegovina 606 $aBosnien und Herzegowina 606 $aConstitution 606 $aRight of Election 606 $aVerfassung 606 $aWahlrecht 615 4$aBosnia and Herzegovina 615 4$aBosnien und Herzegowina 615 4$aConstitution 615 4$aRight of Election 615 4$aVerfassung 615 4$aWahlrecht 676 $a949.74203 700 $aZatagic?$b Senada$4aut$01714764 702 $aKeil$b Soeren$4edt 702 $aDz?ankic?$b Jelena$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953900003321 996 $aA neglected right$94108872 997 $aUNINA
