Human Rights Watch (HRW) through a press release has welcomed the decision of the Kosovo Assembly to establish the special court for war crimes. HRW said the court will operate under Kosovo law but with headquarters in Europe and with international judges and prosecutors. “The government and lawmakers have taken a right decision for justice,” said Lotte Leicht, director of Human Rights Watch for Europe. “It is an important step for victims and for Kosovo to finally address the allegations of war crimes,” he added. HRW said that the government should work closely with the EU to establish the court in the proper way. It also said that for a credible court it is necessary to have a witness protection program.
