Serbia and Montenegro: Amnesty International's concerns and Serbia and Montenegro's commitments to the Council of Europe

Serbia and Montenegro (SCG) joined the Council of Europe (CoE) on 3 April 2003. On joining SCG undertook to implement a number of commitments. While welcoming steps towards fulfilling some of these, Amnesty International remains concerned at the ongoing failure by the authorities of SCG to fulfil some of the commitments: notably those referring to addressing the past legacy of war crimes, and the continuing prevalence of police torture and ill-treatment.
