In its latest report, the International Organization of Human Rights
“Amnesty International”, brings domestic violence as a bug concern, and
the fact that this category of victims rarely benefits from justice.
The document says that many mistreatment cases are not punushed. Despite the promises of the government, the sheltering of poor people, including the Roma, remains very limited. The military bases that would serve as temporary shelter for the evicted families do not fulfill the international standards.
Amnesty reminds that the Council of Ministers of the EU approved the candidate status fro Albania in June 2014, by giving judiciary reforms as a condition, together with the fight against corruption and organized crime, and also for the human rights.
The international organization returns to an old issue, to that of Remzi Hoxha. They say that the location of the body of the Albanian man from Macedonia, which was disappeared by the Secret Service police in 1995, was never returned to his son, despite the declaration of the Prime Minister in 2013, who said that the location would be identified. They also mention the case of Aleks Nika and the reviewing of this issue by the Prosecutors.
Thje report says that the Ministry of Urban Development and Tourism, and the National Authority of sheltering, propsed to increase the number of social buildings and approach to those without a proper shelter.
In February, the Ministry introduced a new sheltering strategy for the Roma add Egyptians, in order to encourage the legalization of non-formal houses and to improve the water and canalization conditions.
However, the progress is small. For the human right group, the Albanian government failed in guaranteeing legal justice for homeless orphans, who must have a priority in the social shelters.
The report shows that by the end of September there have reported 3094 cases of domestic violence, when in most cases women were the victims. But only one third of the cases went to trials.
During this period, more than 12.000 Albanians have presented sheltering requests in the EU member countries, using as argument domestic violence and discrimination against the LGBT and the Roma.
