campaign role
International institution with Bonn Powers authority over BiH. Counter-narrative actor with formal authority to annul RS legislation inconsistent with Dayton Agreement and BiH Constitution. Analytically: OHR is a conditional counter-narrative actor — vocal when Dayton framework is directly threatened, but historically reluctant to use Bonn Powers for civic space issues. Has issued decisions against some RS unconstitutional actions but enforcement of Constitutional Court rulings on Foreign Agents Law remains dependent on OHR intervention if RS refuses to comply.

notes
Counter-narrative actor — conditional and institutionally constrained. Bonn Powers enable but political will limits action. US sanctions on Dodik (January 2022) partly enable OHR action. EU and US support for OHR is interest-contingent. Parallel to EU counter-narrative conditionality in Serbian context. No specific case coded yet — add when specific OHR counter-action documented.
