The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Paris on Dec. 16 unanimously passed a draft resolution based on rapporteur Dick Marty's report on illegal human organ trafficking in Kosovo.

The Parliamentary Assembly is to debate the document during the winter plenary session in Strasbourg on Jan. 25, 2011, according to the Council of Europe website.

In April 2008, 17 MPs signed a demand for a resolution that called on the Parliamentary Assembly to investigate claims from the book by former Hague tribunal chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte on the trafficking of human organs in Kosovo and their transplanting in the so-called "yellow house" in Albania.

According to numerous indicators, the draft resolution states, immediately after the end of the armed conflict in Kosovo, before international forces were truly able to take control of the region, organs were harvested from certain prisoners at a clinic in Albanian territory, near Fushe-Kruje.

Dick Marty's report provides detailed findings of the two-year investigation. It also says that Hashim Thaci is the "boss" of a network that dealt in criminal activities before the war in Kosovo in 1999 and afterwards maintained strong influence over the Kosovo authorities, as well as that Thaci has been controlling the heroin trade over the past 10 years.
