Vasa Prava BiH is a Bosnian nongovernmental organization that provides free legal assistance on civil matters to refugees, displaced people, and other poor and disadvantaged Bosnians. Vasa Prava BiH traces its roots back to the Legal Aid and Information Centre (LAIC) network created by the UNHCR in 1996, soon after the end of the war. By 2003 the LAIC network had become an entirely Bosnian NGO which, as of 2013, has about 35 full-time staff members, 9 offices throughout the country and 60 mobile teams serving all municipalities. The organization provides legal advice and representation in court, conducts public awareness sessions, gives media presentations, trains local officials, prepares brochures on legal issues, operates a website and publishes a magazine. Since it’s founding as the LAIC network in 1996 the organization has assisted over 450,000 people on legal problems with housing, employment, education, health care, and asylum, among many others. Vasa Prava’s core mission is to promote civil, socio-economic, cultural and human rights and to provide fair access to justice for the realization of those rights. Vasa prava BiH promotes individual human rights, helps to build a legal system that holds government to account and advocates for systemic changes to address real problems. It is helping to build an active civil society and a culture of rights; most fundamentally, it is playing a vital role in making recovery-oriented legal reforms a reality for Bosnia’s disadvantaged, dispossessed and disenfranchised populations, thus helping to rebuild their lives and their country. Vasa Prava BiH is the only legal services organization operating throughout the country. Most of its work involves providing direct legal assistance to individuals, which gives them a significant amount of information and enables to peruse their rights congruent to the national legislation, European practice and the highest human rights standards.
