The Kosovo Specialist Chambers is committed to meeting the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. This privacy notice tells you what to expect when the Kosovo Specialist Chambers collects personal information. It applies to information we collect about:
The Lists of Counsel contain the names of legal practitioners who are eligible to practice before the Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC) as a Counsel or a Co-Counsel, and can thus be assigned or appointed to suspects, accused and/ or a group of victims as per Chapter III of the Directive on Counsel.
Only Counsel from these Lists of Counsel can represent persons before the KSC.
Three KSC/SPO principals adressed the audience of about 300 students and legal practitioners, the majority of which were Bachelor or Master students of Law. The event took place on the margins of ICC Moot Court, held between 14 and 19 May 2017 in The Hague in the presence of Benjamin Ferencz, at 97 the last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials.
On 26 February, the Kosovo Specialist Chambers as part of its Outreach as well as Visitors Programme hosted a visit by a group of 35 lawyers, students and university professors from different countries, mostly from Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, UK and Netherlands. The visit was initiated by the Geoffrey Nice Foundation and the University of Amsterdam. Representatives of the KSC spoke about the jurisdiction, structure and mandate of the court as well as about role of the Defence Office, victim’s participation, media communication and the Outreach Programme.
The publications below describe some of the important aspects of the KSC work, including the basic information on the KSC principals, its structure and mandate as well as the more specific information on the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, that entered into force on 5 July this year. Furthermore, two other factsheets deal with the Defence and the Victims’ Participation before the KSC.
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers welcomes visitors who would like to attend public hearings from the gallery of the courtroom. In addition, the KSC offers students and other groups the possibility to visit the KSC and learn more about their mandate and proceedings.
