5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This analysis highlights the lack of internal mechanisms and lack of an independent national mechanism that monitors and evaluates the implementation of the principle of‘equality of citizens before the law’ by the law enforcement agencies in Albania. Even though there is a comprehensive institutional framework in the security sector, instruments, and mechanisms to monitor the equal application of the law(and the respect of human rights more generally), beyond classical forms such as complaints redress, are few or non­existent. Therefore, we recommend: 5.1 NATIONAL COALITION ON HUMAN RIGHTS The creation of the National Coalition on Human Rights, a forum comprising of governmental and non-governmental organizations to redress the question of human rights from security sector institutions perspective. A permanent forum bringing together representatives from the parliament, government, security sector institutions, watchdog institutions such as Ombudsperson and Commissioner for Protection Against Discrimination, and organizations from civil society with experience dealing with human rights issues, such as Albanian Helsinki Committee, etc., would be the appropriate step forward. The agenda of such a forum would be a matter of discussion. 5.2 STRATEGIES AND MANUALS From the above analysis, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to improve the documentary scope in the field of respect for human rights by security institutions. All institutions addressed in this paper lack written strategies for the objectives of institutions in the field of respect for human rights and especially in the equal treatment of citizens. The drafting of strategies would be the starting point for enhancing the respect of the principle of equality before the law in a wider context of trust-building strategies. 5.3 TRAINING PROTOCOLS In the absence of an awareness of the importance of the principle of equality before the law, security institutions do not provide specific training for their officials in the field of human rights. The situation in the State Police and the State Intelligence Service is urgent. Training of officials of these institutions based on international documents that regulate and limit the activity of security institutions seems to be urgent. 23
