Abstract In this article I will examine the powers and activities of NATO-led Kosovo forces (KFOR) and their impact on human rights protection in Kosovo. Through this examination, I seek to answer the following questions: which KFOR actions affected the human rights of Kosovars? Does KFOR carry out responsibilities and abide by the obligations normally imposed upon nation-states? And is there a solution available when the alleged violator is KFOR? KFOR is responsible for carrying out military tasks and for ‘shouldering’ UNMIK and local security forces in some civilian peace-building tasks. In the course of the exercise of its mandate, there were alleged complaints of human rights violations by KFOR. The legal implications of these alleged complaints against KFOR (in)actions will also be discussed.

科索沃的国际安全存在及其对人权的影响

摘要在本文中，我将考察北约领导的科索沃部队（驻科部队）的权力和活动及其对科索沃人权保护的影响。通过这次审查，我寻求回答以下问题：驻科部队的哪些行动影响了科索沃人的人权？驻科部队是否履行责任并遵守通常对民族国家施加的义务？当涉嫌违反者是驻科部队时，是否有解决办法？驻科部队负责执行军事任务，并在某些平民建设和平任务中“担负”科索沃特派团和地方安全部队。据称，在执行任务期间，驻科部队投诉侵犯人权。这些针对驻科部队行动的投诉的法律含义也将进行讨论。
