Summary/Abstract: The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) has been monitoring and providing support to war crimes trials since the very first war crimes proceedings were conducted in Serbia in 2002. The HLC is the only organisation that has been continuously monitoring and analysing war crimes trials in Serbia and informing the public at home and abroad about them. The HLC has been filing criminal complaints against suspected perpetrators with the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutors (OWCP), and it has also been identifying witnesses and victims and encouraging them to give evidence in court, and thus contribute to achieving justice for past crimes. The National Strategy for the Prosecution of War Crimes (hereinafter: the National Strategy) was adopted in February 2016. The HLC is the only non-governmental organisation in Serbia that monitors and reports on its implementation, with a view to assisting in a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the state of implementation of measures and activities set forth in the National Strategy.
