Specialized Rooms: English and Wales Lawyers Report Performances Are Inaccurate

On one response published today on the official page, it has reportedly not been found in the report that any of the judges' decisions of the Specialised Chambers violated the accused's human rights.

Also, the report does not conclude that the jurisdiction of the Specialised Chambers violates or conflicts with the European Court of Human Rights. In the English and Wales Chamber of Lawyers Human Rights Committee's report, no violation of human rights conventions in decisions concerning detention is also found in response.

More than a week ago, the Ombudsman, Naim Celaj, presented the organisation's preliminary report “Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales” regarding the functioning of Specialised Chambers in The Hague.

According to Celaj, this report has found serious concerns. The cell has said that, among other things, the document states that the Special's mandate has had a deviation from the original goal.

The report was drafted by the United Kingdom-based Chamber of Lawyers Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, where British experts engaged in the request of the Ombudsman's institution, following concerns about disrespecting human rights standards.

The published response reportedly states that Kosovo's Specialised Chambers (DHSK) are independent judicial institutions and, according to them, neither the Kosovo Ombudsman nor the Committee of Human Rights of the Chamber of Lawyers of England and Wales have the right to present claims in the Specialised Chambers.

The specialised rooms further estimate that some interpretations of the English and Wales Chamber of Lawyers' Human Rights Committee report, made by Kosovo's Ombudsman, are incompatible with the report, do not correctly reflect the content and outcomes of the report, and therefore create a false image of the Special Chambers.

Also reportedly, it has also been noted that a number of aspects set up by Kosovo's Ombudsman, discussed in the England and Wales Chamber of Lawyers Human Rights Committee report, are primarily repeated of the arguments presented by the Defence before the judges of Specialised Chambers.

On the other hand, they say, the report does not equally reflect the conscientious arguments presented by the Prosecution or the Protection of Victims.

“in particular, in the England and Wales Chamber of Lawyers' Human Rights Committee report, it is acknowledged that the accused in the Special Chambers have legal means available, and that a number of aspects are currently the subject of legal disputes and can be revised in response.
