Open letter to Minister of Justice Nela Kuburovic

February 1, 2019

Together with the Committee of Lawyers for Human Rights – YUCOM , we approached Minister of Justice Nela Kuburovic regarding the formation of a Working Group for amending the Criminal Code, which considers an initiative to introduce life imprisonment and tighten prescribed sentences for certain offenses.

While welcoming the intention of the Ministry of Justice to involve civil society organizations in the drafting process of the draft Law on Amendments to the Criminal Code, the Belgrade Center for Human Rights and the Committee of Lawyers for Human Rights, YUCOM, invite the Minister of Justice to enable representatives of our associations to participate in the work of the said working group.
