Abstract
Fast and adequate settlement of compensation claims for damages arising in the context of peace operations conducted by the UN, NATO and the EU can be considered to be crucial for the success of every such operation, as it influences the attitude of the local population in the host country towards the peacekeepers. The necessity to provide effective remedies to victims reflects at the same time general developments in the international human rights law.
However, as the analysis of applicable legal framework shows, norms providing for effective remedies often suffer from insufficiency, as well as from lack of coherency and transparency.
