The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) and HLC-Kosovo strongly urge the Kosovo Government to establish rail services on the Kosovo Polje – Lešak line and enable the citizens of Kosovo, especially Serbs, to travel freely and cheaply and to conduct their business as they did prior to the attempt of the Republic of Serbia to assume control of the administration of rail services on this line.
The United Nations Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted by consensus by the UN General Assembly on 9 December 1998, recognises the legitimacy of the activities of human rights defenders, their right to freedom of association and to carry out their activities without fear of reprisals.
On March 21, 2008, HLC convened a meeting of human rights NGOs, journalists, historians, the Serbian Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, a representative of the Ministry of Interior of Serbia war crime investigation unit, judges, the ICTY Liaison Officer to Serbia to discuss the future of the Hague Tribunal archive in the context of war crime trials, building historical memory, establishing the facts about the recent past and the need for the documentation of the Hague Tribunal archive to be accessible to experts and the general public.
