	Kanun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kanun (derived from the Greek kanon / κανών - see Canon Law) was the customary law of Albania and of Kosovo which is still enforced by clans in some parts of the country and it resembles the Italian vendetta.
		The communist regime of Enver Hoxha tried to stop the practice of Kanun by killing or removing the clan elders, who applied and held knowledge of Kanun.
		After the fall of communism the communities have been returning to the old traditions, but some parts of the tradition have been lost, leading to fears of misinterpretation.

		Kanun also exists among ethnic Albanians in neighboring Kosovo and Montenegro, but an initiative similar to Spahija´s that began in the late 1950s succeeded in limiting the extent of feuds after nearly two decades of campaigning.
		According to Kanun, women, children and livestock should not be targets in feuds, but few seem to respect it these days.

	Balkan Primer (X) - Blood Feuds, Kanuns, and American Policy, December 26, 1999
		Scott Anderson explores the general hypothesis that a key ingredient in the Balkan poison is the conflict between the clan-based, rural culture of villages and the multi-cultural urban sophistication of the cities, like Belgrade, Zagreb, and Sarajevo.
		The foundation of the Kanun is the concept of personal honor and at the center of its laws is the blood feud (which is the subject of the attached article).
		There are four major offenses to personal honor under the Kanun: (1) calling a man a liar in front of other men; (2) insulting his wife; (3) taking his weapons (the failure to disarm the KLA, incidentally, is only the most recent of many failed attempts to disarm the Gegs); and (4) violating his hospitality.
