Member of a Croatian delegation were speaking before the UN
Committee members, who had numerous questions, namely whether
pact's regulations were included in Croatia's legal system, the
course of the return process, what has been done regarding the
processing of persons who committed crimes during the operations of
"Storm" and "Flash", and cooperation with the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Members of the UN Committee welcomed the comprehensives of the
first Croatian report. Their assessment is that the state of human
rights has significantly improved after the January 2000 elections
and that Croatia's Constitution clearly points to country's
orientation toward democracy.
Later this year, the UN committee will give its opinion on Croatia's
report in a statement.
