5- The elders (Kanun Courts) of 2800 villages of Albania and 60 municipalities that during the 27 years of post-communist transition have solved with agreement and reconciliation over 900 000 conflicts and enmities about: the division of land, water, pastures, roads within the village, the paths in forests and rivers, fences, livestock damage, cutting of wood materials, exploitation of sand and quarries, tomb territories and crossing other’s territory, arranged engagements, secret affairs, instant fights and insults, debts, property damage, occupation of lands in cities by the uncontrollable demographic movements, conflicts about the shops and their territory,  construction conflicts, conflicts about parent’s disobedience, conflicts of theft, property damages, business rivalry, conflicts about tombs in city territories, conflicts over expropriation, enmities about the court decisions, killing enmities inherited before and during the communist system, enmities due to new killings, enmities due to killings for honor, enmities due to killings for theft, enmities due to accidental killings, enmities due to the unjust separation of properties, enmities due to the violence and conflicts within the family, about the theft of houses and gardens, theft of shops, enmities about the trafficking of females and narcotics, enmities due to the unpaid debts and the loss of property in casinos etc.

the congress confirmed that:

1- The decisions of elders, “Kanun Courts”, are never repudiated and the parties live in peace and brotherhood while the decisions of state courts, in all of the cases have aggravated the conflicts and enmities among the parties. In 600 000 decision courts, the parties have aggravated into enmity and blood feud bringing tragic consequences such as the killing of 3500 persons, suicide of 4200 others and the depression of 22 000 citizens. Due to the unfair decisions and corruption in all the levels of prosecution and courts, the citizens feel terrorized, despise the system of state justice and have no hope in its improvement.

the Concerns of congress:

Despite the tremendous work of the government and the state police for the prevention of crime, even in 2017 there have been dozens of killings of social origin, 25 of which within the family and in the eyes of children. Also there have been attempts to kill immigrants after the unfair deportation from western countries where they had seek asylum because of the enmity. On 10th of February 2016, Xhevahir Basha from Has district was killed for blood feud after his return from United Kingdom. The killers had received the information of his return in Albania in a short time. In 2017 two former senior state police leaders, Artan Cuku and Ervin Dalipaj were killed for revenge. In September 2016, the General Prosecutor, Adriatik Llalla leaves the country together with his family because of the danger of revenge in Albania. http://lajmifundit.al/2016/09/llalla-kercenim. In May 2016, from the parliament the former Prime Minister SaliBerisha urged Albanian people to arm themselves because the Albanian families are not safe and that the state cannot protect them. When he was a prime minister, even though the number of killings was two times more than in 2016, he deceived the European opinion stating that Albania is a safe place in order to not contradict the requirements of EU. http://alb365.com/berisha-ne-kuvend-te-armatoset-populli-tahiri-prokuroria-ta-marre-te-pandehur. Albanian people have respected the stance of the Prime Minister, Mr. Edi Rama, on the meeting with the German Chancellor Ms. Angela Merkel, who declared that Albanians do not only leave the country because of economic reasons but also because of the insecurity of life. Even though the new government of the National Renaissance and the State Police have reached positive results in the improvement of work and have cooperated with the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation enabling the reduction of the number of killings by 50%, still there are thousands of unresolved conflicts which if not closed with reconciliation, can aggravate toward enmities and killings. The most problematic are 7560 conflicts because of injuries, 9701 conflicts due to honor issues, 6789 conflicts due to domestic violence, 3400 conflicts due to the breakup of arranged engagements, 34800 conflicts due to the property in the city, 98700 conflicts about the lands in villages, 3358 conflicts due to insults, 41890 conflicts about unpaid debts, 5260 conflicts due to  women trafficking, 980 conflicts within the family due to the appearance of homosexual orientation, 15600 conflicts due to infidelity, 13789 conflict because of hidden love affairs as well as 61567 conflicts due to divorce.

the force of tradition to albanians and the tradition of justice

Albanians are the most ancient people of Mediterranean and speak their ancient Albanian language which is a special branch of the Indo-European family. They are descendants of Illyrians with cultural and linguistic evidence from Illyria and Pelasgian. The borrowings in language and culture are mainly Latin, Hellenic, Byzantine, Slavic and Turkish. Despite the ethnic and language properties, Albanians through their ancient ethic code, Kanun, have preserved and cultivated through generations the custom of rule in community, the law culture, and have protected the freedom and human rights, cultural diversity, and religion cohabitation by putting the right above the religion and ideology. Both in rural and urban areas, the social life has been led by Kanun democracy based in people assemblies and elders “Kanun courts” which operate to this day. This inheritance is a precious asset in support of the state of rule and law and values of European Union because it is based on the principles of democracy, freedom and human rights, the freedom of life, thought, speech, property, religion as well as the respect of duties and rule in community. While the politics has constantly brought crises and the state institutions have immersed in corruption, Kanun enjoys the trust of public opinion. People, in lack of justice, have chosen to follow Kanun tradition for the resolution of disagreements and conflicts as well as necessary obligations in community. Kanun has also gained more ground in the fight against the organized crime, killings and terror acts compared to Albanian justice and law. Kanun is in a constant fight with the violators of rule and law in community as well as with the tragic acts of killings in society and domestic violence. To avoid the killings and social conflicts, people are obligated to seek the traditional organizations, Kanun courts, elders’ courts, village commissions of land separation and conflict’s resolution. Kanun with its influence has decreased the corruption in municipalities and traditional Communes as in Mirdite, Kukes, Diber, Puke etc. Also it has impeded the women trafficking and domestic violence and has brought the unconditional freedom and respect of the rights of women and children who are unfairly isolated from the fear of revenge and blood feud, in full contradiction with the law and Kanun.

STATE INSTITUTIONS AND KANUN COURTS

In addition to state institutions, people have chosen and organized assemblies and decision making in community by finding long-term solutions for protecting common assets ​​such as forests, waters, pastures, roads, etc. Such decisions have in many cases found the support of state institutions, local and central government and prestigious donors such as the World Bank etc. Although most citizens support the reforming of the judicial system, there is no confidence and expectation for a good state justice without a proper cooperation with Kanun courts where civilian opinion and control is exercised in any decision-making. Even police has often suggested a well-understood solution for the conflicts through community elders, and this is a positive step in the police cooperation with the community to peacefully resolve the problems. This has resulted in the prevention of police intervention by force, which aggravates the situation, leading to enmity and subsequent bloodshed. Parliament has approved the licensed mediation law as well as other businesses but unfortunately the licensed mediators have been rejected by the parties from their first day of workdue to lack of experience and the payments they require in compromise with lawyers. For their most vital issues, citizens have found justice and equality through Kanun elders because their decisions both in the village and in the city are voluntary, free, well-reasoned and not contested by the parties. When necessary, with the understanding of the parties, the decisions are examined according to the Kanun hierarchy, up to the “Kanun High Court” of Elderly (the Supreme Court of Peace). These elders (Kanun Court) are represented by people with reputation in society and high moral integrity and are far more trustworthy than state judges. They have been organized for 27 years under the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation's strategy that plays the role of the "Kanun High Court", often giving guidelines at a more contemporary level than the state courts. The Kanun courts have the clear reasoning of decision making and the families involved in the trial apply it fairly. The object of the trial in these courts has been broad, ranging from simple conflicts to killings, leaving the responsibility of the crime on the guilty to be prosecuted by the state and that the parties reconcile. These "judges" are constantly required by the citizens not only for today's conflicts but also for those inherited since the time of King Zog or the communist system. Even during the reign of King Zog and the communist system, the Kanun solutions have been applied in the service of peace and ceasing of conflicts. Review and decision-making procedures in these Kanun courts are mainly without protocols because the confessions and the given word are very important in these decisions. Keeping records as in the case of the state courts is considered unnecessary and suspicious. Reviews are made by listening to the parties. These decision-making may be an example for state courts, although they do not have evidence management protocols, they are based on direct evidence of the parties, the scene of the events, dialogue and the guarantee to respect the decision-making. In some cases there have been timely evolutions of practices and adaption to state terms and practice as request for judgment, preliminary hearing, Kanun agreement act etc.

MISINTERPRETATION OF KANUN

Crimes about property and life, barbaric killings and domestic violence, the isolation of women and children during post-communist transition do not belong to the Kanun as often misinterpreted by uninformed groups and individuals, or by the dark structures of organized crime and terrorism. They are the worst assassination of Albanian tradition and culture. By introducing into the criminal code the term blood feud, the parliament has institutionalized the phenomenon in complete opposition to both the law and Kanun because the killings during the transition period are completely killings of a depressed society, and totally outside of the procedure, the hierarchy and the nature of the blood feud. On the other hand, the approval of the law imposing a sentence from 25 years to life imprisonment because of blood feud while the first killers that caused it are free or punished less, have incited the hidden and paid revenge.

FACTORS THAT KEEP KANUN PRESENT
Kanun is rooted in the early structure of Albanian society and in a complex set of values, traditions, customs, and beliefs associated with it at different times. The return of the Kanun occurred due to several factors:

Social and cultural factor: Albanians, although adapt to timely changes, preserve the tradition in the social and family life, religious practices and inter-ethnic relations, mortal rites and community celebrations, relationships in provincial communities and tribal ties, marriages and couple relationships, parent-child relationships etc. These traditions, which, despite being shattered by different changes and pressures, are still reflected in the culture and daily living practices in and out of the family. Albanians entered and left the communist system without the experience of phenomena such as corruption, drugs, prostitution, trafficking of women and girls, gambling, kidnapping, property abduction, killings, suicides, etc. The state appears helpless in the fight against these devastating phenomena, while Kanun has successfully faced it because it has found the support of citizens and protects the values ​​of society and the state of rule and law.

Political Factor: The degeneration of state institutions and the justice system under the control of political parties which are transformed into family properties of the leaders and a group of businessmen around them, has undermined the citizens' trust in the state of rule and law and created a great difference between the people who are in extreme poverty and a wealthy group that hold in their hands the monopoly over politics, state, market and natural resources of the country. 60% of the population does not go to the polls because they have the conviction that the state and the political parties do not belong to them but are the property of the leaders and their families who are enriched at the expense of public taxes and corruption. Facing this situation, citizens have been forced to remember the best model for democracy, for a normal life with justice and rule, referring to Kanun. With the fall of communism there was an extreme organization of Albanian society which was not oriented by law and sate of rule and law, but by chaotic movements that shocked the social life, spread crime, corruption and self-justice. To avoid the self-justice and protect the lives of citizens as well as the peaceful rules in the community, Kanun with its assemblies and elders were called for action. They were organized in a natural way both in villages and in cities.

KANUN AND LAW 7501 FOR THE LAND

In 1991 the parliament passed the 7501 law for the land, excluding the right of the ownership from the family members living in the city. Kanun, facing this violation of this fundamental right, entered immediately the game imposing the fair division of land and thus eliminating the conflicts and killings that were incited by the implementation of this law. 70% of the families in the north and south of Albania accepted the separation according to Kanun by the elders’ decisions, the "Kanun court". By the decisions of the Kanun courts, families in the village decided to share the inheritance with the families in the city. This Kanun decision was also subjected to state commissions in the south and north by giving land to family members in the city through a certificate issued by the civil state showing fictitious presence of them as residents in the village even though they were residents of the city. This is greeted by the two main political parties and their deputies who have never been capable to make right laws. Through law 7501 for the land, the first step was taken towards accepting Kanun solutions and the formation of elders (Kanun court). Apart from the division of land, elders ,"Kanun Courts", have acted freely about many other aspects of social life. These Kanun solutions have eliminated conflicts and enmities that are aggravated by state court decisions. 60% of citizens do not send conflict cases to the state court because they not only find no justice, but have to pay unaffordable amounts to escape the clutches of injustice.

27 YEARS OF THE COMMITTEE OF NATIONWIDE RECONCILIATION
The Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation was created in the fall of 1990 by a group of well-known intellectuals to prevent conflicts and crashes between social groups during the fall of the system's communism and political changes in the country. The Committee became present to the public at the meeting of founders with the former President of the Republic, Ramiz Alia. From year to year, the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation became a very important factor for peace and stability in the country's social life. The committee has voluntarily concentrated its work on resolving conflicts and reconciling thousands of families in enmity by promoting the culture of law and the positive tradition in support of the state of rule and law. The committee created working groups in each village, consisted of missionaries with the best reputation that continue to play the role of elders (Kanun courts) and their leading board (elders of appeal in districts). The Committee has established its experience in preventing conflicts between social and political groups, particularly in the events of 1997, when its missionaries made it possible to persuade families in the north of the country not to respond to the government's call to send their sons to fight against protesters in the south. In those events, the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation became one of the key factors to avoid war civilization. The people of south of Albania, which were involved in armed riots, chose Pasho Uruçi as the chair of the Committee of Public Rescue to lead peacefully the protests that were aggravating into violence against state institutions, shops and homes.

The Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation together with its missionaries and elder groups continues to lead the reconciliation process throughout the country's territory, in 2800 villages and 60 municipalities, according to tradition without any financial support from donors, state or businesses. The Committee works according to the program and strategy adopted at the 6th  congresses of reconciliation missionaries for the promotion of the culture of law and the state of rule and law. The committee has orientated working groups and Kanun elders to reconcile the parties in conflict and enmity, leaving the responsibility of the guilty to be criminally prosecuted by the state, and to release the isolated families. Elder groups (Kanun courts), established by the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation during the 27 years of post-communist transition, have solved twice as many conflicting and enmity issues as State Courts.

RECONCILIATION EXPEDITION

The congress highly praised the work of the expeditions of reconciliation missionaries and approved the 2-year reconciliation expedition report for 2015-2016, published on the website www.pajtimi.com. Congress thanked the expedition groups of the committee of nationwide reconciliation that focused their volunteer work in south of Albania, in 61 local units where the Adriatic Pipeline extends, according to the engagement of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation in the meeting with Albanian government officials and the TAP team represented by Mr. Vugar Veysalov.  The cooperation of local power structures and state police in these areas with the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation groups and the right attitude of TAP project leaders to respect the right of property has eliminated any conflict that impedes the work of this project. In addition to working with the gas pipeline area, the reconciliation expeditions have developed activities in each district to encourage the citizen participation in campaign elections and voting without any conflict or social crashes.  In cooperation with the Ministry of Interior Issues and the State Police, the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation also made possible the participation of the families in enmity in voting whenever they asked, by accompanying them.

CONGRESS CONSISTED THAT:

1- The Courts and the Albanian Prosecution have evaluated and left in power the Recommendation of the Albanian Government No. 1716, dated 29/9/2009, MPÇSSHB, which requires the local and international institutions to refer to the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation for the verification of enmity issues eliminating fictitious data and abuses. Based on this recommendation, the prosecution offices and the courts have condemned all state representatives and NGOs that have issued enmity certifications without archiving the case for review and pursuit in the office of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation.

2- There are 340 thousand files of strong conflicts in the administrative and criminal courts. In 40% of these conflicts the parties have withdrawn and resolve the case with self-justice because they have no faith in justice. For the avoidance of the self-justice and the resolution of these conflicts, the reconciliation missionaries have been engaged by the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation as the only justice settlement institution entrusted by the citizens.

CONFRONTATION WITH ORGANIZED CRIME:

Congress condemned the activity of incriminated individuals who in contrary to the interest of the families in enmity, have created "missions" and "associations" with names like "The Reconciliation Committee of blood", "Mother Teresa Reconciliation Mission", "The Home Institute of Justice and National Reconciliation" "National Mission of the blood reconciliation", "Teachers for Isolated Children", "The link of Reconciliation and Peace Missionaries", "Nationwide Mission of Reconciliation and Peace", etc., for the purpose of obtaining funds on behalf of families in blood feuds. 76 million Euros from foreign donors and local business have been taken by these false NGOs that have signed memorandums of co-operation with the People's Advocate, but not a single penny has gone to families isolated by blood feud.  The ombudsman has signed these "memorandums of cooperation" without the knowledge of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation. The congress consisted with regrets that several lawyers, immigration offices and courts in western countries require families that immigrate because of blood feuds to receive certificates from these pseudo missions listed in the list of cooperation with the ombudsman favoring the organized crime, fraud and counterfeiting. Recommendation of the Albanian Government no. 1716, dated 29/9/2009 - MPCSSHB, was issued according to law no. 8465 dated 11.3.1999 and the law no. 8788, dated 7thof  May 2001, Decision No: 3190 and 3190/1 which clearly defines the role of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation as the main forum that leads the reconciliation strategy in national level, archives and follows the issues of families in enmity. The Recommendation requires local and international institutions to refer to the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation for the verification of cases, with the aim of eliminating fictitious data and abuses of organizations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Albania, the reports of the US State Department, UN, and other international organizations refer to the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation for data on families in blood feuds because only this committee has the potential, the organizational and professional skills to pursue with priority the blood feud cases in the territory of Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia. No institution, organization or individual has the expertise, capacity and experience of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation in the process of reconciliation, mediation and resolution of conflicts for the prevention of blood feuds.

The Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation has been supported by Albanian Courts and the Prosecution in all its activities and in the fight against the dark structures of organized crime. At the request of the Chairman of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation, Mr. Gjin Marku, the courts and the prosecutor's office have carefully and thoroughly reviewed false statements and slanders whose aim was to undermine the image of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and its chairman as well as to obstruct the reconciliation process. From analyzing and reviewing these false allegations, the courts and the prosecution have concluded that they are the product of organized crime and that the chairman of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation Committee is the only competent person authorized and trusted by the Albanian state to provide opinions (certificates, expertise, confirmation letter ets) on issues of enmity and blood feud. The new government emerging from the 2013 elections immediately established through the Prime Minister's Office the cooperation contacts with the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and discharged from the duty and prosecuted the police officers implicated in the false allegations against the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and  his chairman, such as Agron Kuliçaj, former General Director of State Police, Arjan Hoxha, former chief of the sector against economic crime in Tirana Police, Oltion Demiraj, a former police officer at Tirana police directorate, Agim Loci, a former prison officer, uneducated with a false diploma etc. who collaborated with robbery such as Niko Kuri Ervion Cara etc. to steal the videos of the work of Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and deformed them.
The Committee found that the false statements and slanders against the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation have been repeatedly a damaging reference of some western courts for the refusal of asylum and the deportation of some Albanian citizens endangered by blood feuds in Albania. In all cases of these refusals, families returning to Albania have faced assassinations of revenge and blood feud. Appeals of the families, about the consequences of these false allegations in media and internet against the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation, have been sent to the prosecution and state institutions by Melita  Ziza, the mother of the late Saimir Ziza who was killed inside the courtyard of the house three months after being deported in Albania, as well as by Gjon Mhilli, against whom several assassinations were made after returning to Albania. Gjon Mhilli has asked the prosecution that Niko Kuri - Ervion Cara be prosecuted for fraud and incitement of killing together with the former police officer of prisons, Agim Loci, a co-worker in frauds against families in blood feud that also showed his daughter in the internet as a representative of isolated children in order to attract funds. There have been many denunciation to the police station and prosecutor by Manushaqe Haxhia, Llesh Prenga, Leonora Prroni, Vale Gazidede etc. about these frauds and the incitement of killings for blood feuds caused by Niko Kuri and Agim Loci,. Even the father of the thief Ervion Cara - Niko Kuri has addressed a request to the Prime Minister, the General Prosecutor, the Interior Minister and the Police Directorate, which states: "... In 2012, the terrorist structure of organized crime in the state police initiated the criminal activity of my son Ervion Cara (officially known as Niko Kuri) for stealing the camera and videos of the work with the reconciliations. These videos were illegally displayed on the Internet with insulting words of humiliation for the missionaries and leaders of reconciliation. I have urged my son to return home, but he has interrupted all connections with his parents ... and I ask the police to condemn the police officers who have supported and encouraged his criminal activity as well as those who wanted to traffic him to hide the traces of crime. "
Congress expressed indignation about the cooperation of these incriminated elements in the fake emulation of the Fix Fare show and in deformation of the Skeja family issue, which was in multiple blood feud. They have organised to steal the camera and video of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation's work to distort and display them online with false montages and slanders against the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation. The prosecution and the courts have verified that the montages published in the media and online were made by the cooperator of this group, author of the theft of the camera and videos of the work of the committee, called Ervion Cara-Niko Kuri. This individual who left home from the age of 14 is a thief who walks on the streets and deceives about being an investigative journalist. Although wanted by the police and court, he remains hidden. In cooperation with Adelajda Xhamani, they engaged in provocative contacts with representatives of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and the reconciliation missionaries and asked for money by stating that we have videos of you ... so it would be better to pay in order to delete them. After preparing a fake interview with the thief Niko Kuri -Ervion Cara, Adelajda Xhamani called the Chairman of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation and his Vice President, Preng Cara asking them to meet with the editor-in-chief because only he can prevent the publication of this interview. Niko Kuri - Ervion Cara was in conflict with his father because his father was preventing him from taking home 10-year-old girls who were wandering into the streets. The chairman of the Committee Mr. Gjin Marku as well as Mr. Preng Cara refused to meet the editor-in-chief and called these actions unacceptable. At the suggestion of reconciliation missionaries, the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation filed a written request for a meeting with the newspaper’s editor in chief who published this false interview, and noting the tendency of blackmailing against committee members. Two days after the request was made, the media announced the death of Adelajda Xhamani from a cardiac attack. The Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation expressed concern about the case and asked for a meeting with the editor in chief of this newspaper to clarify how many people had been in contact with the committee letter that was only confidential to the editor in chief, but the meeting has been postponed without any reason. The National Assembly of Reconciliation Missionaries expresses the conviction that this group of incriminated individuals against the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation Committee has the support of radical extremist groups who have slandered even against Mother Theresa and her mission until the day of happiness. They are against the culture of reconciliation and work to spread the culture of terrorism in Albanian territories.
THE SUPPORT TO THE STRATEGY OF THE COMMITTEE OF NATIONWIDE RECONCILIATION
With the support of the Albanian Government, local and international organizations, the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation will promote the "Chamber of the Kanun High Court" in order to make contributions to the law, justice and the mediation institution. The "Kanun High Court" Chamber will act voluntary just like the elders groups who work in the process of resolving conflicts with reconciliation. This court will contribute by all accepted suggestions and practices. An encouraging example of the work of the Committee in these useful organizations is the initiative of the Albanian government for the judicial reform. The release in the Albanian Parliament of the positive model of the chambers, Kanun elders, by the Albanian Prime Minister is a valuable indicator of the changes taking place in politics for a governance with Euro-Atlantic visions. This is a clear indication of the support the Albanian government has made and continues to make to the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation's strategy for applying the tradition in support of the state of rule and law. Another important encouragement to the work and efforts of the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation remains the message of the US Department of State delivered through Ambassador James Jeffrey in 2006, which stated that the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation’ strategy for applying the tradition in support of state of rule and law will always be advocated from the US state department. The promotion of this strategy becomes even more necessary when state courts make unjustified decision that have had serious consequences for Albanian society. The "Kanun High Court" Chamber is useful for the long-term support of judicial reform. Due to great importance and the historical values ​​it has, the promotion of the "Kanun High Court" will take place in its foundation place, the capital of Arbëria, in Gëziq, Mirdita, near the residency of "KING PROGON" and his followers, the princes: Gjini, Dhimitri, Kolanjan Blinishti, Lek Dukagjini, etc. Just in front of this residence there is the square of the “Permanent Assembly of Arbanon”, which was also attended by representatives of the 15 main cathedrals of the Kingdom of Arbanon. The ruins of the Kanun High Court building have been visited several times by Father Shtjefën Gjeçovi, author of Lek Dukagjini's Kanun. The commitment of the National Historical Museum to cooperate with the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation on the culture of law and the formation of the state of rule and law as well as the publication of the Kanun of Origin will be a great contribution of the Albanian Government to our national culture, Albanian justice, the Albanian Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, which has maintained constant connections with the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation for its decision-making in the interest of the citizens of Albania. The “KanunHigh Court" will always be in help of the Albanian Parliament, Albanian Justice and the European Court of Human Rights.
ORIENTATION:
Albanians need to integrate into the European family with historic and current contributions to democracy and the state of rule and law. Positive tradition can be applied in support of the state of rule and law. The good customs of respecting the rules in society can be reflected in the civic participation of citizens in contemporary public decision making, the dialogue about laws and reforms, strengthening of civic demand for democracy and adherence to the law.
The law supports the process of reconciliation and resolution of conflicts through mediation, therefore community decision-making or Kanun law courts should be in support of the constitution, assist in respecting the law and the state justice system by suggesting solutions, practices and models of value for the state of rule and law. Civil society structures contribute to the empowerment of democracy and the institutions of the State of Justice, regardless of the law 8788 dated. 7. 5. 2001, about NGOs, Article 6, which states that NGOs exercise their activity outside and independently from state bodies and interests.
  The correct interpretation of the Kanun is the primary duty of community representatives, civil society and the media to prevent the self-justice and violations of the law. The Kanun High Courtshould provide contributions and suggestions for acceptable legal solutions about the land ownership and property rights and the rights of other assets affected during the transition thus contributing to western standards and international human rights.
 "Kanun High Court" should make suggestions in any case deemed necessary for the reform of the penal and civil code in accordance with the world and European human rights charters as well as the Constitution of Albania in the protection of life, family and the dignity of the individual.
Albanian State Institutions should contribute to clarifying the public opinion about Kanun and its deformities. The Albanian state should support the process of reconciliation of families in enmity and the unconditional release of isolated women and children according to the experience and strategy created by the Committee of Nationwide that made possible the release from isolation of more than 900 children in 5 years 2012-2013.
