The House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbo-Croatian: Dom naroda Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine/Дом народа Федерације Босне и Херцеговине) is one of the two chambers of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the other chamber being the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Federal laws need to be passed by both houses.
The House of Peoples is composed out of 23 delegates from each of the constituent nations of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs as well as 11 delegates of the minorities referred to as Others. The House of Peoples has one chairman and two vice-chairmen.[1]
In July 2017, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina struck down provisions of the election law regulating the indirect election of delegates to the Federal House of Peoples. The court had previously, in 2016, declared these provisions unconstitutional, and decided that the rules should be changed to ensure legitimate representation in the election of Bosniak, Croat and Serb members to the Federal House of Peoples.
On 2 October 2022, High Representative Christian Schmidt imposed constitutional and legal changes called Measures to improve Federation Functionality.[2] This increased the number of delegates from each of the constituent nations from 17 to 23, and for others from 7 to 11, thus increasing the House of Peoples from 58 to 80 delegates.[3]
