6 hours agoFreedom has a name: Postponing judgment at The Hague is prolonging injustice, poor precedent for international justice
Periskopi(a month ago)
(a month ago)The organisation “Lyria has a name” and considers it totally unacceptable to postpone the sentence in the judicial process to former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders at the Special Court in The Hague.
This ongoing practice of unreasonable delays can no longer be viewed as normal judicial procedure, but as a serious degradation of fundamental principles of justice for a trial within the reasonable deadline. This process that has dragged on for years, with repeated delays, has completely lost credibility and has already become a mechanism that produces continued injustice.
Keeping former KLA leaders for nearly six years in custody conflicts with any standard of international justice and fundamental human rights.
“Liberty has a name” estimates that these developments are seriously damaging citizens' trust in international justice institutions, creating perceptions of a procrastinated, unbalanciated and irresponsible process.
“Freedom has a name” warns that any further delays in this trial process at the Special Court, this institution only turns it further away from the standards of justice, turning it into a dangerous precedent for international justice.
