This paper will address the importance of customary humanitarian law as a source of international humanitarian law which is one of the main pillars in the protection of human rights and freedoms during the war. The focus of the paper is the importance of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the second additional protocol dealing with the protection of victims during non-international armed conflicts.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the actual role of the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol II in providing legal protection to individuals in non-international armed conflicts. Article 3, is a common Article for all the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which aims to assist and serve as a mandatory norm in non-international armed conflicts. On the other hand, this Article is "assisted" by the second additional protocol which provides slightly more explanations separately from these conventions, regarding the protection of victims during armed conflicts of a non-international character. We are witnessing that the world is evolving more and more every day and armed conflicts are becoming more and more frequent due to different interests that certain social groups have. In this regard, it is necessary to draft more detailed norms with binding force for the parties to the conflict, in order to reduce or avoid consequences on people. The question raised in this paper is: why should the Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions be binding and enforceable along with the four 1949 Conventions? In this paper, the case of Kosovo will be addressed. In this paper are used the analysis, comparison, historical methods of research.
Classes in Kosovo are held in private and public educational institutions. Education in Kosovo went through very hard phases and challenges especially in the years 1990/1999 since differences and the need for change made us not entirely prepared. After the establishment of Kosovo Institutions, the Department of Education and Science (DES) was established within the Ministry of Education. The primary aim was to establish the legal and professional basis as a frontline of the reform of our education system, especially the acceptance of the Bologna processes that facilitate the radical reform of general and vocational education. This paper will address the aspects of reforming and progression of vocational secondary education, vocational schools, and correspondence to the needs of the EU market and the possibility of implementing in post-secondary and university higher education.
In this paper I will address the challenges of Kosovo in a sector of social life, education. Addressing this topic is important for post-conflict societies that need help in building, establishing and making educational institutions functional. Ensuring the conditions for a quality education is related to the level of awareness and the need for educational planning. The work is focused on the possibilities of improving the quality of education, capacity building through local and international projects supported by the budget of Kosovo and the EU. The article begins with the analysis and planning process according to the SWOT program. Within the scientific methodology, research, material, historical, analytical and partially comparative methods were used. Theoretical and practical issues related to European strategies and standards will be elaborated, which increase the possibilities of achieving the objectives for ranking the education system of Kosovo in the direction of raising the quality of education.
