The government of Kosovo is failing its human rights obligations
Why Kosovo needs robust legislation on state responsibility for human rights violations.

Unfortunately, despite lip-service paid to state responsibility and government accountability, the minister of justice has so far failed to deliver on his publicly made commitment.
The duty to protect human rights, and especially the right to life, requires the state to take special measures to protect persons from human rights violations by others.
What seems to be lacking is true government commitment to respect and protect human rights in an effective manner and to take the necessary action.
