A report by the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales has raised serious concerns about the functioning of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, questioning standards of justice and the protection of fundamental rights of the accused.
Reacting to the report, the Kosovo Liberation Army War Veterans Organization stated that the findings highlight alleged violations of basic rights within the Specialist Chambers.
According to OVL UÇK, the report represents an important moment for raising international awareness about how the court operates and what it describes as the unfair treatment of former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
The organization argued that “selective justice and double standards cannot build trust nor deliver real justice,” emphasizing long-standing concerns over the judicial process.
OVL UÇK also noted that it has consistently raised these issues through letters to international institutions, meetings with diplomats, engagements in the European Parliament and the Swiss Parliament, as well as through protests and public petitions across Europe.
The group said the latest report confirms that its concerns were justified and called on international institutions to take the findings seriously and ensure full respect for human rights and international legal standards.
OVL UÇK reaffirmed its commitment to defending what it described as the values of the liberation war and the dignity of former fighters, pledging to continue its efforts against what it sees as injustices in the ongoing legal processes.
