PROJECT
“AHC
Correspondent Networking in some districts of the country”
The
AHC project ‘AHC correspondent networking in some districts of the
country” has started from January 2002 and is still continuing. This
correspondent networking covers 7 districts of Albania such as Kukės,
Gjirokastėr, Fier, Vlorė, Korēė, Elbasan, Shkodėr.
The mission of this network and its
activities is to monitor the situation of human rights in
different areas in the above-mentioned districts. AHC’s correspondents
in these districts monitor closely human rights situation and inform the
central office in Tirana about the findings regarding specific human
rights violations committed by public administration at the local level.
AHC thereafter denounces these verified cases through public statements
and at the same time puts pressure upon the respective state institution
responsible for that specific human rights violation in order for the
latter to take immediate measures to restore the violated right of the
humble citizen.
In
addition, correspondents organize activities to raise the awareness of
the general public on human rights issues as well as on the mechanism of
protecting their rights. In this context several round tables and
training seminars have been realized as well as several TV and radio
programs are organized.
The objectives of this correspondent
networking we can mention some of them such as the following:
-
To contribute to the improvement of the human rights
situation in their respective districts;
-
To incite and support human resources and local
initiatives in the area of human rights;
-
To extend the sensitizing activities in human rights area
in these respective districts;
-
To increase the effectiveness of the monitoring activity
of the AHC in and extended geographical area;
The beneficiaries of this network. Through this
network Albanian citizens have better possibilities to submit their
complaints as well as a quicker way in solving their problems and
concerns in human rights area. A better sensitization of the general
public in these districts is possible through this network as well. In
other words, direct beneficiaries of this network are the general public
in these districts as well as the public administration. At the same
time AHC is able to get verified information on cases of human rights
violations which increases its effectiveness as a monitoring
organization in the area of human rights.
