NGO Comments on the State Party Report: Civil and political rights in Montenegro
Publisher: Center for Democracy and Human Rights (CEDEM), Montenegro
Date: December 2013
Volume: 17 pages, pdf
Description
As for a general point, it should be noted here that the State party frequently refers to the Constitution as to the relevant source of human rights protection. However, the Constitution is still not fully aligned with international law standards pertinent to the protection of human rights. CEDEM and YIHR consider it important to point out to legislative and practical deficiencies that are affecting the implementation of specific provisions of the Covenant and hence the protection of civic and political rights of persons under the jurisdiction of Montenegro.
