Human Rights Review Panel - 26th SessionPress Release The Human Rights Review Panel (the Panel) held its 26th session, from 15 to 17 June 2015. The Panel found three cases inadmissible. One of them was lodged outside the six-month time limit provided for in the Panel’s Rules of Procedure. In another case the Panel considered that the complaint was unsubstantiated. The third case related to the death a EULEX staff member, allegedly arising from negligence on the part of EULEX Medical Unit. The Panel considered that it did not have jurisdiction to examine alleged violation of rights of EULEX personnel. Moreover, it declared that actions or omissions of EULEX medical professionals do not fall within the ambit of the executive mandate of EULEX and, therefore, the complaint was outside of the Panel’s jurisdiction. The Panel struck one other case off the list of complaints. As complainant failed to provide documents requested by the Panel and could not be contacted, the Panel concluded that he did not intend to pursue his complaint. All decisions will be published on the Panel’s website upon translation into the Albanian and Serbian languages. The next Panel session is scheduled to take place in the second half of September 2015. Notes to the editor; |
