The Ombudsperson Institution of Kosovo published its 2020 Annual Report. Additionally, it presented its Report as National Preventive Mechanism pursuant to OPCAT and a Compilation of Reports Addressed to Relevant Authorities during 2020.
For more than two decades, the Ombudsperson has stood strongly on his constitutional role in fulfilling the mandate entrusted to him with regard to protection, supervision and promotion of human rights as well as strengthening of principles on which the democracy of our country is built. This year, reporting is being done in a situation of crisis due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The Report aims to draw attention of the institutions so that the respect for human rights is not left on the mercy of free political actions, but through executive and legal instruments to ensure their respect and enforcement. Particular attention is given on strengthening of mechanisms which guarantee the system’s independence from the impact of changes in governance and political processes.
The three documents can be downloaded below and on the website of the Ombudsperson Institution of Kosovo.
