Babies in Bosnia are in a great danger as those infants who need medical supervision abroad cannot leave the country. As a result, people stated protesting, and the main reason behind the protests was three months old baby who lives in Bosnia but needs a medical emergency in Germany. The baby needs a bone marrow transplant, and this medical supervision is not in Bosnia, but the government is against the need that people can go to another country for any reason and this rule is applicable even for infants.
There is a 13 digit personal identity number which is given to each and every citizen of Bosnia and also Herzegovina. These personal identity number is also known as JMBG, and it shows the details of the citizen like the state of the citizen, vaccination and also the passport details. It also contains the date and place of birth of the citizen, but the government of Bosnia declared on 12th Feb, 2013 that this unique identification number will not be included or approved in some of the municipalities. These are some of the municipality that are dividing Bosnia and Herzegovina. The whole country is divided into certain subsection. These two states are divided among the Republika Srpska, and the other is Croat and Bosniak. The problems between these two political parties have forced the government to impose such harsh rule in the nation.
The Disapproval of the Unique Identification Number:
The Republika is in the favour of entities so when this number is allotted the federal level gets a high power, and thus the central government would benefit, but the Croat and Bosniak are in support of the federal government and not in favour of entities. This shows that a small issue is also thought from a political point of view in Bosnia. The parliament is unable to find a solution to this problem which leads to the deadlock of this unique identification number. This indirectly meant that the babies that are born after February will not be considered as citizens, and they won’t have any personal identification.
As the population is increasing, there are nearly 1500 new born child who are not legally approved as the citizen of the nation, and this is the main problem that they do not even have a passport. As a solution, the local numbers are been given to parents so that they can offer vaccination to their children, but if they need any other treatment abroad then they would be unable to go because they do not have a passport. Against this rule, the people of Bosnia protested on June 5th, and this made the prime minister of both countries run form the window of the house.
There is no Humanity in the Bosnian Government:
The protestors were very angry, and so the council passed a temporary allocation of numbers, but still it was not made as a permanent law for the nation. The Human rights committee has declared that as the council is not making it a permanent law, they are showing that they are abusing the common human rights of the nation. The mistakes of politicians caused the loss of lives who were unable to get the proper medical supervision on time, but the government is not shamed at all from their inhuman law.
