Post-legislative scrutiny, or the parliament monitoring how well the laws are implemented by the executive and what effect the laws have, is an essential function of the National Assembly. If conducted in due course, the post-legislative scrutiny is a powerful executive oversight tool. However, due to a combination of institutional and political challenges, post-legislative scrutiny is rarely conducted by the Kosovo Assembly. The KosovoÕs Assembly has been developing its Library and Research Services, however, this department is currently insufficiently engaged in the AssemblyÕs oversight activities. Members of Parliament would learn about the overall strengthening of the oversight role of the Assembly, through providing credible, timely, unbiased, objective, and accessible services for the legislative body. Through active discussions, the participants would explore good practices for effective legislative oversight and how to contribute to this important aspect of parliamentÕs role. This project will also focus on learning about the work of the U.S CongressÕs Research Service (CRS) and its contribution to post-legislative scrutiny function of the U.S. Congress. Participants should also focus on what the U.S. oversight system looks like and how it works; how the U.S. Congress follows through on the full implementation of laws; and how to approach partisanship when conducting oversight.
