A researcher at the University of Magdeburg, Ms Katarina Ristić, analyzes the consequences of the policy of conditionality demanding from Serbia to cooperate with ICTY, which has been applied by the EU for years, and its contribution to the recognition and acknowledgment of responsibility for crimes committed during the armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.

The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) has received an award for its contribution to the fight against discrimination during 2014. The award is given by the Coalition for the Fight Against Discrimination as an acknowledgment of individuals, organizations, institutions, companies, and media, who have made the greatest efforts in the fight against discrimination against minority and marginalized groups during the year, or who have contributed to the development of the equality of all citizens in Serbia.
The Center for Advanced Legal Studies (CUPS) and the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) presented on April 17, at the Media Center in Belgrade, a Model Law on the rights of civilian victims of human rights violations committed during and in connection with the armed conflicts in the period 1991-2001 (the Model Law). The presentation was attended by representatives of associations of victims and victims’ family members, NGOs, the media, the EU Delegation to Serbia, embassies and international organizations, the Office for Human and Minority Rights, the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor and the Democratic Party.
The Model law on the rights of civilian victims of human rights violations committed during and in connection with the armed conflicts in the period 1991-2001 was drafted for the purpose of providing assistance, support and protection to persons, who were civilian victims of the wars or in connection with the wars waged on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and for the purpose of the acknowledgement of their suffering. The foundation of the Model law was the HLC’s practice in the representation of victims in lawsuits for the compensation of damages and for the realization of the rights according to the now applicable Law on the rights of civilian invalids of war. The solutions proposed in this Model law have been adjusted to the needs of the victims and based on the comparative analysis of the existing solutions in the field of reparation of victims of serious violations of human rights, and the analysis of all drawbacks in the existing framework in the Republic of Serbia for the purpose of its harmonization with the international standards in this field.
