Summary
The Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Fabián Salvioli, presents the report on his visit to Serbia and Kosovo from 22 November to 2 December 2022, in which he assesses the progress made in redressing the serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed during the armed conflicts of the 1990s.
In the report, he notes the efforts made after the conflict in Serbia and Kosovo, with support from the international community, to search for missing persons. However, he stresses the lack of cooperation in recent years, the challenges of accountability and reparation processes, and the inadequacy of measures to promote memory of past violence, to curb divisive sentiments and to promote reconciliation. The report concludes with recommendations addressed to the authorities in Serbia and in Kosovo, and to the international community.
