Human Rights Review Panel - 20th SessionPress Release The Human Rights Review Panel (the Panel) held its 20th session in Pristina from 7 to 9 April 2014. The Panel declared four cases inadmissible. In two of them it found that it had not been shown that EULEX was involved in any capacity in the matters complained about. The complaints therefore fell outside of the Panel’s competence. Two other cases concerned proceedings before Kosovo Property Agency Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court of Kosovo and before a Kosovo criminal court. As in many previous cases concerning similar complaints, the Panel found that it has no jurisdiction to review judicial proceedings before the Kosovo courts, even if EULEX judges sit on the bench. In one case, the complainant asked for the re-examination of her complaint. The Panel concluded that there were no grounds to re-examine this as the complainant failed to point at any new evidence. All decisions will be published on the Panel’s website upon translation into the Albanian and Serbian languages. The next Panel session is scheduled to take place from 26 to 28 May 2014.
