Flawed
enforcement of court decisions undermines the trust in
State justice
Court decisions in several European
countries are often enforced only partly or with long
delay - or sometimes not at all. This is one of the most
frequent problems identified by the European Court of
Human Rights (the Strasbourg Court). Flawed execution of
final court decisions must be seen as a refusal to
accept the rule of law and is a serious human rights
problem.
The US State Department on Wednesday
released a report on human rights in the world in 2008,
including a 13-page section on Croatia that cites
problems with societal violence, discrimination against
minorities, violence against women, judiciary problems,
pressure on the media, and corruption.
With funding from the Norwegian
government, CARE is implementing an innovative youth
project that reaches out to young men in the Balkan
region. The goal is to build more equitable attitudes
and behaviours, and decrease a growing trend of gendered
and peer violence.
Croatian schoolchildren could soon be
taught how to behave like good sports fans in an attempt
to stamp out the hooliganism and racism that have marred
the country's image in recent years.
The
international campaign "Raise your hand against
smacking”, organized by the Council of Europe, was
launched in Zagreb on Sunday 15th of June. By June 2008,

corporal punishment of children at home, at school, at
care institutions or in places of detention by law. The
new campaign aims to abolish corporal punishment of
children in all member states.
