Human Rights Review Panel - 24th SessionPress Release The Human Rights Review Panel (the Panel) held its first session in 2015, from 3 to 5 February. The Panel found three cases inadmissible. One of them concerned proceedings before Kosovo courts. As in many similar previous cases, the Panel declared that it has no jurisdiction to review judicial proceedings before the courts of Kosovo, even if EULEX judges sit on the bench. In two other cases the Panel found that it had not been shown that EULEX was involved in any capacity in the matters complained about. The Panel communicated one case to the EULEX Head of Mission, asking for his observations on its admissibility and merits. The case concerns an alleged violation of the complainant’s rights to private life (Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights) and a presumption of innocence (Article 6 par. 2 of the European Convection) by an EULEX prosecutor. 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 April 2015.
