UN expert to probe Albanian blood feuds
Feb 18, 2010
A U.N. expert is in Albania to investigate unlawful killings, including blood feuds, so-called honor killings and vigilante murders in the Balkan country.
Philip Alston, a New York University law professor, began meeting with Albanian officials Tuesday as part of a weeklong mission to examine whether effective action is being been taken to prosecute those responsible.
Blood feuds resumed in Albania after the fall of the former communist regime in 1990. Their number has since declined and often involves disputes between rival criminal gangs.
Alston was appointed Special Rapporteur in 2004 by the UN Commission on Human Rights
