Humanitarian Law Center (HLC)

The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) Kosovo was established in Prishtinë in May 1997, by a well known human rights activist Mrs. Nataša Kandić, as a branch office of the Humanitarian Law Center. Until the outbreak of hostilities between Serbian security forces and the Kosovo Liberation Army in February 1998, HLC Kosovo focused on documenting police repression of Albanians, investigating cases of torture, illegal detention, and political trials. After this date, HLC Kosovo shifted its focus to documenting the killings and-or disappearances of Kosovo Albanians and Kosovo Serbs.
