Progress in the affirmation of human rights in Montenegro

The national report on the status of human rights in Montenegro has been presented in Geneva. According to Deputy Prime Minister Zoran Pažin, the implementation of national reforms have guaranteed a high degree of protection and affirmation of human rights and freedoms, thus allowing Montenegro to achieve foreign policy and EU integration goals. Progress has also been made in judicial reform and the fight against corruption, though some areas such as domestic violence and violence against children still need more work.
