Fanula Niaolin, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights in the Fight against Terrorism, warned in an interview with Voice of America that Serbian Ministry of Finance Anti-Money Laundering Administration's request for insight into bank accounts of NGOs, media and individuals is a form of pressure on the part of the public indicating corruption in government, political torture, or human rights violations.
Niaolin said that she asked Serbian authorities for an explanation regarding the moves of the Administration, which works under the auspices of the state. According to her, the initiated procedure of the authorities in Serbia is not in accordance with international law.
The way in which Serbian authorities used the law, in addition to being inconsistent with respect for human rights, is also inconsistent with Serbia's obligations to undertake the prevention of terrorism in a manner consistent with international law, as states are also obliged to do so, the UN special rapporteur added.
The Serbian government's response, she said, should include repairing the damage done to inappropriately targeted individuals, analysing, revising and amending the law, and involving MONEYVAL and the FATF to prevent such abuses.
Niaolin's message to Serbian government is it would be good to set up the function of an independent auditor (observer) of the application of the law on terrorism or solutions intended to enhancing security to ensure that it can not be misused.
