Albanian-American activist Harry Bajraktari has communicated a request to the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, urging the United States to reevaluate its endorsement of the Kosovo Specialized Chambers located in The Hague. Bajraktari’s appeal follows remarks made by Rubio, wherein the Secretary of State expressed concern regarding international courts that he characterized as exceeding their mandated scope, labeling such institutions as potentially irresponsible, politicized, and bureaucratic.
According to Bajraktari, the experience of Kosovo with the Special Court should be considered within any evolving policy framework regarding international justice. In a statement detailing his position, Bajraktari asserted that the administration of justice must remain impartial. He wrote, “Justice should never be selective, political, or a mechanism for rewriting history.”
The activist emphasized the necessity of safeguarding foundational principles, specifically citing the importance of faith in justice, national sovereignty, and verifiable historical truth.
His communication to Rubio suggests a divergence of opinion regarding the role and support for international judicial bodies. Bajraktari’s letter frames the discussion around maintaining consistency in the pursuit of international law, contrasting this with the criticisms recently voiced by the Secretary of State concerning judicial overreach. The correspondence serves as a direct call for a reconsideration of U.S.
policy regarding Kosovo’s judicial proceedings.
