Lawyers' Committee for Human Rights - YUCOM

The Lawyers’ Committee For Human Rights (YUCOM) was founded in 1997 as an expert, voluntary, non-governmental organization whose members are legal experts engaged in promoting and advocating the idea of the rule of law and uphold of human rights, raising public awareness, conceiving, designing and leading civic initiatives, rendering legal assistance to victims of human rights violation, as well as developing co-operation with national and international organizations involved in human rights protection and promotion. YUCOM is recognized as an organization advocating human rights and promoting active participation of citizens in legal initiatives. It has profiled itself and gained much recognition as human rights defenders’ organization.

 YUCOM is actively writing shadow reports related to the international obligations of Serbia to UN, OSCE, CoE and others. Most recently, in 2017 YUCOM sent the shadow report to the UN Human Rights Committee on implementation of the International Covenant on Political and Civil Rights, as well as in the UPR review (next is upcoming in 2017).

Today, YUCOM, as a member of numerous ad-hoc coalitions, has both capacity and long-term experience in successful leading of campaigns for the reform of legislature and legal practices. YUCOM continues to, by way of active and constant public appearances, and public support that it rallies through its work, successfully impose reference frame of the system of values and standards that contribute to confronting the past, implementation of transitional justice and the rule of law. In addition, YUCOM is highly engaged in representing other NGOs in cases against NGOs, with the aim to assist the development of more elaborate and efficient mechanisms for human rights defenders’ protection in Serbia.
