ABSTRACT |
| Conducted during the latter part of 1999, this study examines the interactions between NATO and humanitarian actors in the Kosovo crisis. It has separate chapters on the division of labor between the two sets of actors, the tensions between the two cultures, the politicization of humanitarian action resulting from NATO's involvement, and the implications of the high-profile military role for the future of humanitarian action. The volume contains a timeline of major events in the crisis, prototype materials from UNHCR and the KFOR in the area of civilian-military cooperation, and an article by Adam Roberts, "NATO's 'Humanitarian War' over Kosovo" reprinted from the journal Survival. | |
|
Conducted jointly with the Humanitarian Law Consultancy in the Hague, the study was the subject of a workshop in November 1999, convened by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the highlights of which are also summarized. The monograph has circulated widely in NATO, UN, government, and NGO circles.
