Impunity Watch’s work is composed of three distinct intervention strategies. The first is to research and rigorously analyse the factors that influence impunity, particularly in post-conflict countries, employing a specially designed methodology. Secondly, on the basis of its research findings, recommendations and public policy proposals are formulated in consultation with a wide-range of key actors involved in the topic. Lastly, Impunity Watch conducts lobbying and advocacy at national and international levels to promote the implementation of the recommendations proposed. The research findings also provide the basis for monitoring systems that measure advances and setbacks in the struggle against impunity, and state compliance with legal obligations related to truth-seeking, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence. One of Impunity Watch’s fundamental goals is, using the methods described, to support and strengthen the work of civil society organisations and the wider circle of domestic actors engaged in the struggle against impunity in selected countries, through joint work and the strengthening of national capacity for research, public scrutiny, making policy and advocating its implementation. Impunity Watch was founded in 2005 as a project of Dutch non-governmental organisation Solidaridad, and became independent as the Impunity Watch Foundation in 2008. Impunity Watch is currently running pilot projects in Guatemala and Serbia, where these different strategies are being implemented simultaneously. These apparently dissimilar countries were selected with the intention of demonstrating the global usefulness of Impunity Watch’s methodology in different political and social contexts. In addition, working with similar methodological parameters in different contexts provides a foundation for structured exchange on diverse experiences of impunity and successful strategies used by state and civil society actors to combat it. Serbia was chosen because of the problem of impunity for crimes committed during the wars on the territory of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. This choice was further justified by the verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which found Serbia in violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crimes of Genocide (Genocide Convention) because of its failure to prevent and punish the commission of this crime in Srebrenica in 1995.1 Impunity Watch has completed the research and policy-making phase of its project in Serbia in partnership with four civil society organisations, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR), the Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights (YUCOM), the Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC) and the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia (HOS). These organisations have years of experience and a prominent role in dealing with the problem of impunity in Serbia from various aspects. 1 International Court of Justice, Verdict, BiH vs. SCG, Dispute regarding the implementation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, 26 February 2007. action to combat impunity in serbia: options and obstacles 5 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was written by Ljiljana Hellman, coordinator of the Impunity Watch project in Serbia, based on research and analysis carried out by researchers and analysts from the YIHR – aslav LaziI, Miroslav JankoviI and Dragan PopoviI; the HLC – Bojana VujoševiI, Ivan StojanoviI and Sandra OrloviI; YUCOM – Biljana KovaKeviI-VuKo, Lena PeliI, Novak VuKo and Milan AntonijeviI; and the HOS – Sonja Biserko, Mileva JuriI and Stipe Sikavica.

The establishment of ad hoc international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda2, followed by the founding of the permanent International Criminal Court (ICC)3 represented a revolutionary turning point in the combat of impunity. One might say that the foundations of combating impunity were laid in 1997 when, on the request of the United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities, Louis Joinet summarised existing international standards relating to impunity as the Principles for the Protection

INTRODUCTION Voïvodina, a region in Northern Serbia, is the southern part of the Pannonian plane, bordering with Croatia on the west, Romania on the east and Hungary to the north. The surface area is 21,506 km2, almost as large as Slovenia, with two million inhabitants of some twenty different nationalities. At the end of the IXth century, the Hungarians colonised Voïvodina, which became part of the Kingdom of Hungary and stayed so until the Turkish occupation in 1529. When the latter ended at the turn of the XVII-XVIIIth centuries, Voïvodina was part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918. The region's inter-ethnic complexity is rooted in the XVIIIth century Habsburg policy of repopulation, which brought in people from the various nationalities that made up their empire at the time: Serbians fleeing Ottoman rule, Croatians, Hungarians, Germans, Slovaks, Ruthenes, etc. The events of 1848-49 had repercussions in Voïvodina, which was transformed into a region enjoying a modicum of autonomy, with the Emperor François-Joseph bearing the title Voïvode. It was then joined to Hungary in 1860, and then the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1867. Within the Compromise of 1867, Austria and Hungary undertook to treat all the various nationalities on an equal basis, and recognised the equality of all the empire's languages in schools, the administration and public life.

During her visit, the Commissioner met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sándor Pintér; the Minister of Justice, László Trócsányi; the Minister of State for International Affairs in the Ministry of Human Capacities, Orsolya Pacsay-Tomassich; and the Minister of State for EU Relations in the Prime Minister's Office, Judit Varga.

  • NEWSREEL New Skills for the Next Generation of Journalists ◊ Research Report ◊
    Tina Bettels-Schwabbauer, Nadia Leihs Gábor Polyák, Annamária Torbó Ana Pinto Martinho, Miguel Crespo Raluca Radu & FJSC team NEWSREEL New Skills for the Next Generation of Journalists ◊ Research Report ◊ NEWSREEL – NEW SKILLS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS ABOUT THE PROJECT Journalists have an essential role in the new media landscape as a pillar of credible and contextualized information. Being in competition with several alternative forms of news, non-professional or even deliberately manipulated news, professional jour- nalism should be empowered by new competencies and skills. Opportunities enabled by digital technologies, such as processing, analysing and visualising large amounts of data, as well as multi-sectoral and digital cross-border co-operations, open new fields of journalistic activities, and new ways to speak about public issues. However, this environment also entails technical and economic risks, and demands expertise in IT security, as well as the development of business models and strategies from journalists and media companies. Journalists face several ethical challenges that should be handled to meet their social responsibilities. Fake news and hate speech have become major issues in the public sphere, as have whistleblowing and activism. By improving skills of a new generation of European journalists, NEWSREEL will con- tribute to the strengthening of the common European democratic public sphere. It will do so by improving collaborative and cross-border journalism that is able to elaborate and make tangible the huge amount of available data, and which is based on a predict- able business strategy and a firm ethical foundation. The main goal of the project is developing e-learning materials connected to four fields: data journalism, new business models, collaborative journalism and ethical challenges.

  • Višnja Baćanović «FEMALE CANDIDATES» Monitoring the Presence of Female Candidates in the Media During the Pre-Election Camp
    Višnja Ba ćanovi ć «FEMALE CANDIDATES» Monitoring the presence of female candidates in the Media during the pre-election campaigns for the Local and Provincial Elections 2008. 1. Introduction Gender equity in politics i.e. the increase of number of female decision makers requires not only legal regulations and recommendations, but breaking of prejudices and promotion of female leaders as well. If female candidates want to be successful in elections and become decision makers first they should be listed on election lists. Moreover, they should become visible and well promoted during the pre-election campaigns. The manner in which female candidates are presented to the voters, issues they emphasize as important and political principles they advocate are all important for the public recognition and visibility of women in politics. Quantity and quality of females in politics are equally important. Quality of political contents, quality of performed activities, as well as the presentation of such activities is important for the braking of stereotypes and prejudices towards female politicians and for the promotion of females as quality politicians. Data obtained during this monitoring should answer the following: -whether the public services met the required standards regarding pre- election campaigns and the promotion of female candidates -whether the quota system is effective regarding the media representation of female politicians; the ratio of female candidates in the media (compared to male candidates) -who do the female candidates address in their campaigns and what is the message they are spreading A media monitoring means a systematic tracking of media production in order to receive an objective insight into the characteristics of the media content offered to the audience.
