With this publication the Humanitarian Law Center enabled experts and wider public to gain insight into an important decision of the UN Committee Against Torture, which was established in accordance with the Convention for Combating Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Punishments or Acts. The decision was delivered on the basis of individual charges filed by the citizens of Serbia and Montenegro, who claimed that the state authorities had violated their rights guaranteed by the Convention. This decision is significant because it demonstrates that international standards must be implemented in the domestic legal system and that they are mandatory. The incident in Danilovgrad happened on 14 and 15 April 1995, when several hundred citizens, in retaliation for the rape of a minor non-Roma girl by two minor Roma men, demolished and set on fire the Božova Glavica Roma settlement, an action carried out with the nodding consent of the authorities and the police. The charge against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was filed by the Humanitarian Law Center, European Roma Rights Center and Attorney Dragan Prelević, on behalf of 65 citizens of Roma nationality. The publication contains the UN Committee Against Torture decision, the Annex and Convention for Combating Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Punishments or Acts. It is printed in Serbian and English in parallel....
