AI called on the EU to:

• commit itself to abide fully by international human rights law, and to ensure that its standards are applied in ALTHEA operations;
• establish a centralized system of civilian control over ALTHEA;
• establish centralized and transparent procedures whereby allegations of human rights violations by ALTHEA members are thoroughly and impartially investigated and disciplinary procedures and criminal proceedings are initiated against ALTHEA members who are reasonably suspected of having committed human rights violations;
• grant jurisdiction to the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina over ALTHEA activities;
• provide comprehensive and consistent training in international human rights standards to all ALTHEA personnel;
• actively seek those indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, coordinating its activities with NATO forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina where appropriate, with a view to arresting the suspects and transferring them to the Tribunal's custody;
• immediately turn over to the competent authorities of Bosnia-Herzegovina all individuals detained by ALTHEA, for whom no arrest warrant was issued by the Tribunal;
• discontinue SFOR’s current practice of arbitrary detention;
• adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of sexual exploitation, including prohibiting through disciplinary and criminal sanctions, the use of women and girls trafficked into forced prostitution;
• ensure reparation, including paying appropriate compensation, to victims of human rights violations committed by its personnel.
