the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in BiH, supporting
in particular the conclusions of the steering board of the
HC in BiH of 28 January 2002, at the session of which the
created situation regarding the violation of human rights
during the extradition of the «Algerian Group» was
discussed. At the same time, the Assembly again fully
supports the activities led by the competent governmental
authorities in the struggle against the international

detriment of human rights.

by 1 May this year at the latest. For that session of the
Assembly, proposals of changes and amendments to the
present Statute of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights
in BiH should be given.

prepare, as soon as possible, a special programme for
observation of seven years work of the Helsinki Committee
