JUDICIAL AND EXTRAJUDICIAL STRUCTURES ON HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO

Summary/Abstract: For as long as Kosovo is not a member of the UNO and other mechanisms yet, the latter cannot ratify international conventions on human rights. But, in its constitution (Chapter II, fundamental rights and freedoms), Kosovo has included international agreements and instruments which guarantee the principles and values of human rights and fundamental rights. Kosovo has a wide range of judicial and extrajudicial structures, be it at the central level or else at the local level, whose primary mandate should be advancement and protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms set forth by the Constitution, laws and sub-legal acts. Apart from these structures, there are also other institutions and bodies which could contribute directly or indirectly in fulfilling different obligations in meeting the standards set for the human rights, for instance in the field of good leadership, the rights of minorities and that of inclusion of gender-related aspects.
