Background: The Rule of Law and Justice Sector in Kosovo are the most critical areas in which further support and strengthening in a strategic manner is needed. Despite of continuous problems observed by various international observers and experts reports on the rule of law, justice systems and human rights in Kosovo, interventions up to date are not strategically mainstreamed, and issues are mainly addressed in an ad-hoc basis, and in response to urgent needs on the ground. As the establishment of a fair, independent and impartial judiciary in Kosovo remains a high priority, the UNDP Rule of Law Programme for Kosovo 2007-2010 will focus on the development of independent and efficient justice systems that applier human rights standards. The Programme is designed to meet the most pressing human rights and rule of law issues and will be composed of the key programme components such as justice sector capacity building, access to justice and transnational justice and human right programme. Objectives: - Increase the professionalism of the justice sector for improved rule of law in Kosovo
- Improve the level of access to justice for all citizens
- Increase the knowledge on the implementation of international law on justice and human rights in Kosovo.
Achievements and expected outputs: - Capacity building of justice institutions
- Capacity building for improved judicial practices
- Improved knowledge on access to justice issues in Kosovo
- Increased knowledge on issues of transitional justice amongst practitioners
