Workshop on the standards of the Istanbul Convention

19.12.2023

Officials of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo participated in the two-day workshop on the standards of the Istanbul Convention and their reference in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), organized with the support of the Council of Europe Office in Prishtina, on 18 – 19 December 2023.

The workshop provided an important discussion platform on the applicability of the provisions of the Istanbul Convention at the national level and the need to align the domestic legislative framework with its standards, taking best international practices and important cases from the ECtHR case-law as example.

The workshop, held as part of the Council of Europe project “Aligning laws and policies with the Istanbul Convention“, aimed to strengthen the professional capacities of officials of the Constitutional Court to implement the standards of the Istanbul Convention and their reference in the Court’s judgments.

The Constitutional Court of Kosovo was established in January 2009.

With its authority to review legislation and individual complaints of rights violations, the Court is the ultimate check on legislative and executive power in Kosovo and the final arbiter of the meaning of constitutional provisions enshrining human rights and freedoms.
