In 1992, Serbia set out to “ethnically cleanse” Bosnian territory by regularly eliminated all Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks).

In consequence, many Bosniaks were driven into concentration camps, where Bosniaks women and girls were raped and other civilians were tortured, starved and murdered (Lampe, 2019).

Subsequently, millions of Bosnian Muslims were displaced and forced in immigrating to other safer country as refugee (Nation, 2003, p. 160, 189, 203).

  • Industriall Global Union's Letter to Tuzla Prime Minister Regarding
    Geneva, 6 July 2017 Mr. Bego Gutić Tuzla Canton Prime Minister Bosnia and Herzegovina Sent by email: [email protected] IndustriALL Global Union calls on Tuzla Canton Government to intervene at GIKIL Lukavac and ensure national and international labour standards are upheld Dear Honourable Prime Minister Gutić, I write to you on behalf of IndustriALL Global Union, which represents more than fifty million workers in mining, energy and manufacturing industries in 140 countries worldwide, including in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to call on your administration to intervene at GIKIL, Lukavac, to guarantee the full respect of workers’ rights at the site. Please note that the Independent Trade Union of Chemistry and Non-metal Workers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is affiliated to IndustriALL Global Union, and this union represents the GIKIL workers here, via the Samostalni sindikat hemije i nemetala u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine. We strongly condemn the mistreatment of the 1,000 workers at the company, which left the workers no other choice but to strike and demonstrate. Non-payment of wages is an unacceptable breach of international workers’ rights, as well as of the national legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The union was forced to make an agreement with the employer to simply follow the law and pay wages that were outstanding. The employer did then not respect even this agreement as salaries were again being paid late. The core conventions of the International Labour Organization 87 and 98 have both been ratified by Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1993. These international standards bind your administration to ensure basic trade union rights at GIKIL.
