A/HRC/14/37 Child relating to the administration of juvenile justice. It also urged the adoption of the programme of juvenile criminal prevention, the bill on juvenile criminal offenders and the criminal law protection of children and juveniles, and undertaking legal reform at all levels to comply with international standards. It reiterated the recommendations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child to develop quality standards for foster care, decrease the time children spend in institutions and ensure sufficient resources for care institutions and foster care. 690. The Association for Democratic Initiatives stated that the fragmented legal system caused by the different levels of the Government implied that criminal justice policies were not harmonized. Consequently, citizens were not treated equally, and their standing before judicial bodies was determined by their place of residence. It invited the Government to harmonize criminal legislation at all levels and to establish a single national financial source for the entire judiciary in order to ensure its independence. It also requested the Government to ensure equal access of citizens to justice, regardless of their ethnic or religious origin or language. 691. Interfaith International noted that, after the Second World War, international consciousness had been marked by the memory of religious and inter-ethnic conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The signature of the Dayton Peace Agreement had brought peace among different ethnic and religious entities living in that region. Interfaith International noted that there had been a delay in the implementation of annex VII of the Agreement linked to the return of refugees and displaced persons. It encouraged Bosnia and Herzegovina to maintain cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, adopt appropriate legislative measures to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination and promote a culture of tolerance, indispensable for social cohesion. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 692. The delegation stated that the country was working for the implementation of all recommendations that had been fully and partially accepted during the review, and noted that the universal periodic review process allowed countries to focus on the effective implementation of human rights. The process had helped Bosnia and Herzegovina to gain access to the progress achieved in various segments of the implementation of human rights. The process had been a huge challenge for the country, which had undertaken it as an opportunity to review its achievements and the challenges ahead. 693. Bosnia and Herzegovina thanked all participants, especially the members of the troika, Belgium, Nigeria and Slovenia. It renewed its commitment to improve human rights and praised the role played by non-governmental organizations. B. General debate on agenda item 6 694.
