Humanitarian Law Center (Serbo-Croatian: Fond za humanitarno pravo/ Фонд за хуманитарно право; Albanian: Fondi për të Drejtën Humanitare), also known as the HLC, is a Serbian non-governmental organisation with offices in Belgrade, Serbia, and Pristina, Kosovo. It was founded in 1992 by Nataša Kandić to document human rights violations across the former Yugoslavia in armed conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and, later, Kosovo.
In 2007, HLC translated into the regional languages of the countries of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia all the materials of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) against Slobodan Milosevic and handed them over to the local authorities.
In the post-conflict era, HLC has continued working for the rights of victims of war crimes and social injustice, investigating the truth and pursuing justice on their behalf, working to obtain material and symbolic reparation, and campaigning to secure the removal of known perpetrators from state institutions and other positions of authority.
The HLC prepared a publication, The Memory Book of Kosovo, and posted it on the Internet in 2015 for free access. The book documents all those killed and missing from January 1998 to December 2000 as a result of hostilities.
