Description
An important feature of the present-day socio-political environment in Montenegro is the existence of general and undivided awareness of the significance of human rights in the process of global and regional integrations. The raising of awareness on the importance of human rights is one of the objectives that CEDEM and its associates recognized in the project entitled “Active Human Rights Monitoring in Montenegro”. The Project has been implemented by the CEDEM in cooperation with the European Commission to Montenegro since February 2011 and it is planned to end in September 2012. For the needs of the half-year report published in September 2011 and this publication, the analysis was made of the most important international treaties, national legal framework, research into the current practice, interviews with the citizens who had reported the violation of this right, media press-clippings using the opportunities offered by the Free Access to Information Act. The data in the Report were collected thanks to Mr. Siniša Bjeković, who was the author of the Initial Report on Human Rights in Montenegro for the needs of the Project, as well as on the basis of the materials which were being continuously submitted by the human rights monitors, engaged in this project.
