Introduction

Articles 3 and 4 of Additional Protocol No. 4 to the ECHR and Article 1 of Additional Protocol No. 7 to the ECHR provide certain guarantees to nationals and aliens concerning their stay in the territory of a State. Article 3 of Additional Protocol No. 4 to the ECHR protects nationals from expulsion and guarantees them the right to enter their own country and stay in it as long as they want. Article 4 of Protocol No. 4 to the ECHR and Article 1 of Additional Protocol No. 7 to the ECHR offer certain procedural safeguards to aliens in respect of an expulsion procedure which is underway or is about to commence. In its case- law, the Constitutional Court of BiH and the Human Right Chamber, i.e., the Human Rights Commission within the BiH Constitutional Court, dealt only with Article 1 of Additional Protocol No. 7 to the ECHR.
