Since independence in 2006, Montenegro has adopted all relevant international human rights
conventions, and has been a member-state of the Council of Europe since 2007.

6. The right to life and physical integrity
- The Low on the Ombudsman
- National preventive Mechanism

8. The right to a fair trial and to effective remedy
The Judiciary remains one of the biggest weak spots since Montenegro regained independence
Efficiency of the courts is one of the major features in need of improvements.
Over 4000 cases are still pending before the courts and many of them are older then three years.
Roadblocks in the system are often caused by cases being moved to lower judicial instances for retrial.

9. The right to freedom of thought, conscience
and religion is respected and no cases of violations
have been reported although tensions are
high between the Serbian and
Montenegrin Orthodox Church.
The right to freedom of thought,
conscience and religion
This conflict also
questions separation
of the church and state,
since the Montenegrin
church receives
special treatment
from the state.

10. The right to the freedom of expression
16 commercial television stations
38 commercial radio stations
17 local public services (three television and 14 radio stations)
Despite a variety of media outlets, standards when it comes to freedom of expression have been undermined by a number of threats and attacks on media outlets, journalists and media property
Serious concerns have been raised over older cases brought to the courts regarding these attacks and many have been unresolved and are in danger of being stature barred.
A Commission dedicated to investigating these attacks was created in 2013 and but no significant results have come out as a result of the Commissions establishment.
There are serious concerns regarding biased media reporting, which tend to support Government policies, while the media is also strictly divided across political lines.
