Human Rights Review Panel

Pristina, 5 August 2010

The Human Rights Review Panel (HRRP) for EULEX Kosovo, as an independent accountability mechanism for alleged violations of human rights, will review complaints from any person claiming to be the victim of human rights violations by EULEX Kosovo in the conduct of its executive mandate. The HRRP 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 no include monetary compensation.  The HRRP is independent in the exercise of its functions which it will perform with impartiality and integrity.

The HRRP holds its next session between 13 and 15 September 2010. In order for the public to become aware of the HRRP and its function, and to enable them to file complaints, the Panel invites the members of the press to publish information on the panel and its mandate.

For more information, including the complaint forms and instructions how to file a complaint, please visit our website at www.hrrp.eu  or make an appointment to visit the members of the secretariat at  the HRRP Building, Rrustem Statovci St. No 29 in Pristina, tel. 043-78 2125.
