"There is no convention or international document on human rights at any level that has not been signed by Croatia," Kosor told the press in a break of a conference held in Zagreb to mark the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the UN General Assembly's human rights declaration.
"We are one of few countries with specialised ombudsmen plus the public ombudsman and those are ombudspersons for children, general equality and for disabled persons," Kosor said.
She believes that the Croatian public is becoming increasingly sensitive to the protection of human rights and that state institutions and media have played a great role in making the public more aware of those problems.
The conference on Croatia's human rights records in last 18 years has drawn human rights experts, Croatian officials, and representatives of civil society associations and international organisations.
