Dealing with Impunity in Serbia - Options and Obstacles

10/12/2008 - Impunity Watch has published the summary report of a research project conducted over the past two years in Serbia, examining the root causes and nature of impunity for crimes committed by the Serbian state and citizens during the wars of Yugoslavia's dissolution during the 1990s.

‘Dealing with Impunity in Serbia - Options and Obstacles’ was produced in partnership with the Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights (YUCOM), the Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR), the Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC) and the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia (HCS), based on a specially-designed Research Instrument.

The 86-page document presents the main findings of this research, along with policy recommendations drawn from wide-ranging policy consultations with state and non-state actors for better achieving truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition of grave crimes against international law.

Currently available in Serbian, the summary to ‘Dealing with Impunity in Serbia - Options and Obstacles’ can be downloaded here.

The full report and summary shall shortly be available in both Serbian and English. Check the IW website regularly, or send your email to sanne.weber@impunitywatch.org to ensure you receive a copy.
