    El presente artículo analiza la Constitución de Bosnia y Herzegovina, producto del Acuerdo de Paz de Dayton, con el objeto de explicar cómo los elementos del federalismo y el consociaciativismo pueden convertirse en herramientas fundamentales en el ámbito de la justicia transicional. Al combinar el federalismo y el consociacitivismo, se tratará de mostrar cómo el gobierno compartido y el autogobierno pueden ser útiles para abordar las demandas de más autonomía y autogobierno por parte de los grupos étnicos concentrados territorialmente, al tiempo que preservan la integridad territorial del estado. También explica el rol que ocupan los procesos de diseño constitucional posconflicto para reconciliar diferentes grupos, abordar agravios intolerables y prevenir una mayor polarización al proporcionar una visión común de futuro para un Estado.

    The present paper draws on the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, resulted from the Dayton Peace Agreement, in order to explain how the elements of federalism and consocia-tionalism can become important tools in the field of transitional justice. By combining feder-alism and consociationalism, it will be demonstrated how shared-rule and self-rule can be use-ful in addressing the demands of territorially concentrated ethnic groups for more autonomy and self-government, while at the same time preserving the territorial integrity of the state. It also explains the role of post-conflict constitutional design processes on their ability to recon-cile groups, to address intolerable grievances and to prevent further polarization by providing a common vision of the future of a state
