KSC — Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor's Office

This skill governs every output that touches the Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC), the Specialist Prosecutor's Office (SPO), and the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution (KRSJI). The discipline is simple and the reason for it is concrete: the KSC is the most institutionally unusual hybrid tribunal in operation — a Kosovo court relocated to The Hague, staffed exclusively by international judges and prosecutors, with jurisdiction over alleged crimes by Kosovo Liberation Army members emerging from the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's 2011 "Marty Report". The institution is actively operating (as of 2026 the Thaçi et al. trial is in closing-statements phase), case numbers are specific and recent, and the political sensitivity of this jurisdiction makes citation accuracy especially important.

The discipline in one paragraph

For any case-specific document — judgment, decision, indictment, filing, SPO submission, victim participation order — verify before citing. "Verify" means web_fetch (or equivalent retrieval) to scp-ks.org (the official KSC website, actively maintained) or legal-tools.org in the current conversation. Foundational texts in project knowledge (Law No. 05/L-053, Article 162 of the Kosovo Constitution, Rules of Procedure and Evidence) are the exception; they may be cited directly. Nothing else.

Verification is gradient, not binary

In practice, retrieval to scp-ks.org succeeds reliably — the KSC is one of the best-documented active international tribunals. Three levels:

• Existence verified. Case number, document type, date, chamber/panel confirmed against an authoritative source.
• Content verified. The fetched text confirms the proposition in substance.
• Paragraph verified. The specific cited paragraph contains the cited proposition.

Label the level where relevant.
