Supported by the Embassy of the United States of America in Kosovo, the President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo, Mrs. Arta Rama-Hajrizi, stayed on a several-day official visit in the US capital, Washington DC.

She was invited to attend the 13th International Conference of the International Association of Women Judges on “Women Judges and Rule of Law: Assessing the Past, Anticipating the Future”, which this year was held from 26 to 29 May 2016 in Washington DC.

During her stay in the US capital, in addition to meetings with women judges of constitutional and supreme courts coming from many countries of the world, President Rama-Hajrizi also held a visit at the US Supreme Court and the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

The Conference of the International Association of Women Judges is held biennially in various countries around the world and gathers the most prominent women judges from around the globe to exchange experience in the field of rule of law and protection of human rights and promote the women’s access to courts.

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.
