CERTAIN SUCCESES AND FAILURES OF THE UN MISSION IN KOSOVO IN MANAGING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: The UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) is established in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution No.1244,1 which brought to an end Serb aggression in Kosovo and stopped the genocide exercised by the Serb authorities who had aimed to ethnically cleanse Kosovo.2 UNMIK was set up in Kosovo on the second half of 1999 and continues to exercise its entrusted mandate even as this article is being written.3 Its responsibilities are broadly stretched in many fields4 and are prescribed in 21 paragraphs (points), tens of subparagraphs (bullets) and two Annexes of the said Resolution. Currently, the responsibilities of UNMIK have been reduced to a large extent. Notwithstanding this, one of its reserved powers continues to be the management of the criminal justice system, which is the topic of this review.
