Sandra Orlović replaces Nataša Kandić at the head of the Humanitarian Law Center

Having spent 20 years at the head of the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), a NGO working on documenting human rights violations perpetrated during the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Nataša Kandić has stepped down as Executive Director in favour of her deputy, Sandra Orlović.  In doing so, she has brought about a generational change in one of the most important NGOs in the region.  Such a decision is not common practice in Serbia.


Judge Meron has harmed the Hague Tribunal’s public standing

 

By virtue of its very establishment by the UN Security Council, the Hague Tribunal became a legal fact.  Despite opposition from “patriotic forces”, the Republic of Serbia has been cooperating with the Hague Tribunal’s Prosecution, both by handing over (some of the) documents demanded by the court, and by extraditing indicted fugitives and providing security for the witnesses.  The acquittals of Gotovina, Mrkač and Haradinaj will not put an end to the cooperation between Serbia’s state authorities and the Hague Tribunal, despite “patriotic” demands.
