Council of Europe can draft new report on Dick Marty claims

The Council of Europe Assembly may decide to prepare and debate reports involving the following reports on whatever subject falls into the Council's mandate.
Thus has the Council of Europe, in the question of Radio Free Europe, answered if it will take into account Albania's Resolution, which aims to dismiss accusations of human organs trafficking during the Kosovo war, stemming from the Swiss Senator Dick Marty's report.

“Procedure for prefiling motions is envisioned according to the 25th rule”, said in response.

On July 21st, Albania's Assembly has unanimously voted, with 125 MPs' votes -- Resolution -- with which it aims to dismiss charges of trafficking in human organs during the war in Kosovo, stemming from Marty's report.

The resolution calls on the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to implement a subsequent report (folk-up report) and, as a result, a review of the Council of Europe's Resolution, re-evaluating claims of illegal trafficking of human organs in Albania and in Kosovo, in light of developments that have occurred during this decade, facts and updated information, as well as in terms of Albania's commitment, readiness and full co-operation in the service of truth and justice.

The 2010 report, drafted by Dick Marty and approved by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, claims that organ trafficking has included leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army during the 1998-99 war.

These claims were investigated by US prosecutor Clinton Williams, who in July 2014 has announced that his team's findings include, not evidence based on organ trafficking, but on other war crimes.

This, in 2015, has led to the formation of Kosovo Specialised Chambers to investigate the alleged crimes of KLA members against ethnic minorities and political rivals, allegedly committed from January 1998 to December 2000.

Albania's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, whose party has sponsored Resolution, has said on July 21st that claims filed by Dick Marty for “the killings of persons aimed at extracting and selling their organs and illegal trafficking of human organs in Albania and Kosovo” are claims that “have remained unconfirmed, untested and untested in evidence and evidence”

The Council of Europe is an international human rights organisation, democracy and rule of law in Europe, headquartered in Strasbourg, France.

The Council advocates freedom of expression and media, equality and minorities in member states.

What does the 25th rule foresee?

This rule envisions that a motion for recommendation or resolution with no more than 300 words should be signed by at least 20 representatives or replacements, belonging to at least five national delegations, or should be approved with the necessary quorum by the commission.

The Specialised Chambers in The Hague, also known as the Special Court, has already launched the process against several former KLA leaders, including: Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi.

They have been in custody at The Hague since November 2020.

The indictment against them mentions war crimes and crimes against humanity, but does not figure “the trafficking of human organs”.
