NOTE: Signed Offeror’s Letter to UNDP Confirming Interest and Availability - http://www.ba.undp.org/content/dam/bosnia_and_herzegovina/docs/Operations/Jobs/Offerors%20Letter%20to%20UNDP%20Confirming%20Interest%20and%20Availability.docx Letter to UNDP Confirming Interest and Availability.docx - to be sent to e-mail ba.shared.hr@undp.org with Subject: Job ID 87499. Purpose The purpose of the consultancy is to assess relevant legal and regulatory frameworks as well as established practices, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia which are pertinent to personal data protection with a view to supporting and enhancing public awareness of war crimes trials by making war crimes judgements and indictments more available to the public and judicial professionals. This will be achieved through extensive analysis of the respective legal frameworks and practices in the four countries, and their comparison to the relevant Council of Europe’s and European Union’s legal regulation as well as other international and comparative regulations and practices. Full consideration must be paid to both the personal data protection perspective and the right of the public to know, given the importance of war crimes trials for individuals and the societies in the region. Objective The main objective of the consultancy is to conduct a comparative analyses and produce a report of the four countries on how much their respective personal data protection and other related legal frameworks, as well as the legal regulation of Council of Europe, European Union (especially the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR) and other relevant international bodies and institutions allow for making judgments and indictments in war crimes cases available to the general public, without anonymization or redactions of the names of the accused, crime sites, victims and witnesses. The study shall further explore and assess if there would be personal data protection limitations to making national war crimes jurisprudence accessible to the professional community through the creation of a regional database of jurisprudence. The study shall assess the current situation and capacities in the four countries in relation to the aforementioned areas and issues, and identify gaps, problems, and areas for improvement of the existing or introduction of the new legal regulations and practices to reconcile different rights and interests especially personal data protection and privacy with the right to know the matters of high importance for the public. Background Information The consultancy is planned within the Regional War Crimes (RWC) Project– Western Balkans. The RWC Project aims to strengthen the rule of law in the Western Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia) by contributing to the effective fight against impunity for war crimes through support to regional cooperation in war crimes processing and other efforts to address the legacy of the conflict from the nineties in region. The project builds on the platform for regional cooperation on processing war crimes and the search for missing persons, established among institutions of BiH, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, which has been facilitated by UNDP since 2015, under the initiation phase of the project. The platform has supported trust-building among the key actors, re-activation of cross-border communication, exchange of information and evidence, as well as commitment to joint investigations. The overall aim of the RWC Project will be realized through the achievement of the following project outputs:
Overall, the project aims to contribute to maximizing societal impact of criminal proceedings and other transitional justice processes supporting a conducive environment for reconciliation and sustaining peace in the region. It will do so through expediting the prosecution of war crimes, enhancing support, especially cross-border, to victims and witnesses, facilitating regional dialogue among POs and other relevant institutions and victims’ associations, while also promoting transparent and data-based communication and public outreach on processing of war crimes cases, search for missing persons and other transitional justice processes. One of the issues that the project seeks to address is the need for the general public to be duly and promptly informed on war crimes trials and their outcomes. Additionally, the project seeks to develop and establish a regional war crimes jurisprudence database. This database will need to follow appropriate standardization and methodology from the personal data protection perspective and this should be addressed through this consultancy. Finally, the consultancy should address the issues pertinent to the content of the official websites of the relevant national institutions of the four countries in order to ensure that the public and professional community is promptly informed on war crimes trials.
