The organisational Board's efforts that petition “require International Justice for Violenced Women during the recent war in Kosovo” have failed. The response of former United Nations Organization Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Office, given to organisers that he must surrender to U n NMIC, whose mission to Kosovo has completed its mandate since 2008, writes Koha Ditore today.
But the surrender to this mission has refused to make the Organising Board because, according to them, the addresses for which the signatures were collected were the UN. The petition in question was signed in August 2014 by 115 thousand and 759 Kosovo citizens, and its demands have been for the UN to prepare an official report on women's violations during the war in Kosovo, as well as the establishment of international justice mechanisms (special trials only for v.j.) in pursuit of perpetrators.
The second request, according to organisers, was made as a counterpoint to the Special Court's decision to try war crimes, allegedly made by former Kosovo Liberation Army members.
