Kosovo votes for war crimes court

EDITOR: Vanessa Ellingham

Yesterday the Kosovan parliament made a historic vote for justice, voting to create a special court for crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), during and after the 1998-99 war.

The court, which will operate under Kosovan law, will house an international staff and include a chamber outside Kosovo for contentious cases.

According to Human Rights Watch, the new court will adjudicate cases against individuals that were identified in a 2010 Council of Europe report prepared by Swiss senator Dick Marty. The report documented abuses by the ethnic Albanian insurgency, or KLA.
