Transitional Justice and Security Sector Reform: The Role of the EU and other Multilateral Institutions in Building Kosovo's Police Force (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper examines the interplay between transitional justice and security sector reform (SSR) in the context of Kosovo, focusing on the contributions of the European Union (EU) and other multilateral institutions in the establishment and advancement of the Kosovo Police Service (KPS). It highlights how international organizations, particularly during the post-conflict period, undertook significant efforts in promoting the rule of law, human rights, and minority participation in the police force. The research discusses the evolution of these efforts, the recruitment of diverse ethnic minorities into the police, and the broader implications for reconciliation and democratic governance in Kosovo.
