Press Release - Human Rights Review Panel

Press Release
Number 01-2021
Date: 16 February 2021

The Human Rights Review Panel, (the Panel) held its 48th session on 12 February 2021. The Panel deliberated via electronic means.

During the session the Panel considered two cases:

1. Case 2016-13 Miomir Krivokapić against EULEX. On 12 February 2021, the Panel adopted a Follow-Up Decision on the implementation of the recommendations of the Human Rights Review Panel. In its Decision, the Panel noted that that the rights of the complainant in the present case are still being violated as the case of his missing relative remains un-investigated. The Panel considered that the steps thus far taken or proposed by the Mission in order to address the Panel’s findings and recommendations do not provide an adequate or effective response to the violation of the rights of the complainant. The Panel invited the Mission to consider once again the Panel’s recommendations that have not been complied with, and to inform the Panel of the result of those considerations. The Panel further invited the Mission to adopt measures in response to the Panel’s recommendations that truly reflect the depth of the Mission’s commitment to upholding human rights standards and to repair the harm caused to the complainant in this case. The Panel decided to keep the present case open for possible further follow-up.

2. Case 2016-14 Milan Ađančić against EULEX. On 12 February 2021, the Panel adopted a Follow-Up Decision on the implementation of the recommendations of the Human Rights Review Panel.

 Notes to the editor;

The Human Rights Review Panel (Panel) for EULEX Kosovo, as an independent accountability mechanism for alleged violations of human rights, reviews complaints from any person claiming to be the victim of human rights violations by EULEX Kosovo in the conduct of its executive mandate. The Panel is not a judicial or disciplinary body. The mechanism will solely look into whether a violation of human rights occurred or not and formulate recommendations for remedial action. Such action does not include monetary compensation. The Panel is independent in the exercise of its functions which it performs with impartiality and integrity.
