INPROL Second Annual Meeting

The second annual meeting of the International Network to Promote the Rule of Law (INPROL) will take place on Friday, July 17 at the United States Institute of Peace. The focus this year will be on a discussion of preliminary lessons learned from the experience of the UN Mission in Kosovo in establishing the justice and corrections systems in Kosovo. INPROL is supporting the Criminal Law and Judicial Advisory Section (CLJAS) of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations to develop these lessons. A recent query soliciting suggestions from INPROL members for published works that can be used to assist with this process can be accessed at this link: http://www.inprol.org/node/4469.

"The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has requested that a lessons learned study be conducted of UNMIK's executive justice and corrections activities. Based on this request, a small team will be dispatched to Kosovo to conduct the study. Prior to departure, the team will review and analyze existing articles and other materials on the Kosovo justice and corrections system, as a considerable amount of material has been written in this area. To facilitate this exercise, INPROL members are kindly requested to identify published works or other materials addressing UNMIK's justice operations to be consulted by the review team."

All INPROL members are invited to attend the event. For those who will be able to join us at USIP, please RSVP at http://inprol2009.eventbrite.com by July 10.
