The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
(OHCHR) in Croatia will close AT THE END OF 2002 after nine years,
the OHCHR said in a statement on Thursday. #L#
The mission will be replaced by THE HUMAN RIGHTS CENTRE, which will
be headed by the Croatian Human rights Centre in cooperation with
the government, which will be co-ordinated by Tin Gazivoda, current
executive director of the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human
Rights.
Over the past nine years, the OHCHR supervised the protection of
human rights in Croatia.
The newly-established human rights centre in Zagreb will be an
independent and autonomous institution serving the Croatian
government, academy, national institutions for human rights, non-
government organisations and others regarding activities
connected with the protection and promotion of human rights, notes
the statement, signed by Commissioner Sergio Vieira de Mello.
This is the first time in its history the OHCHR is closing down a
field office, the statement said.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
