Det fremgår af udredningens kommissorium, at udredningen skal ”kortlægge baggrunden for de politiske beslutninger om dansk deltagelse og sikre en retvisende beskrivelse og læring for efter- tiden.”2 Udredningen, lyder det i kommissoriet, skal desuden be- skrive og analysere: ”Hvilke oplysninger om bl.a. forholdene i Koso- vo, Irak og Afghanistan beslutningerne om dansk deltagelse i de militære styrkebidrag byggede på, samt hvordan de pågældende oplysninger blev 1 En stor tak til Rasmus Mariager for bistand med gennemgang af Hans Hækkerup arkiv, PET’s arkiv og partiernes arkiver, og til Jakob Linnet Schmidt for bistand med gennemgan- gen af dele af Forsvarsministeriets arkiv. Endvidere ligeledes stor tak til Clara Lyngholm Mortensen og Jakob Linnet Schmidt for utrættelig hjælp med formalia i forbindelse med arbejdet med fremstillingen. Hertil tak til Per Carlsen, Sanne Aagaard Jensen, Rasmus Ma- riager, Clara Lyngholm Mortensen, Jakob Linnet Schmidt, Regin Schmidt, Jens Ringsmose, Sten Rynning og Anders Wivel for kommentarer på tidligere udkast, tak til interviewperso- nerne for deres medvirken, og til personalet hos de involverede myndigheder for assistance vedrørende kilderne. Endelig et stort tak til Luba Freja Michaelsson og Marie Katarina Runge Olesen for fantastisk hjemlig støtte på trods af lange dage på kontoret. Arbejdet havde ikke været muligt uden. 2 Justitsministeriet 2016, ”Aftale om en uvildig udredning af det historiske forløb i for- bindelse med Danmarks militære engagement i Kosovo, Irak og Afghanistan”, 25. maj 2016. 15 inddraget i de politiske overvejelser om dansk deltagelse.”3 Det fremgår ligeledes af udredningens kommissorium, at udred- ningen specifikt med hensyn til Kosovo skal behandle baggrunden for: ”Beslutningerne om et dansk militært engagement i Kosovo, som Folketinget meddelte samtykke til med vedtagelsen den 8. oktober 1998 af beslutningsforslag nr. B 4 om et dansk militært bidrag til en NATO-indsats på det vestlige Balkan og vedtagelsen den 17. juni 1999 af beslutningsforslag nr. B 148 om dansk deltagelse i en international styrke i Kosovo.”4 Denne fremstilling om det danske militære engagement i Kosovo afdækker derfor den politiske beslutningsproces, der lå til grund for de danske Kosovobeslutninger. Som det fremgår af opdraget er opgaven i forhold til Kosovo ikke centreret omkring en enkelt beslutning, som i de to andre beslutninger om danske styrkebidrag til operationer i Afghanistan og Irak, men to separate Folketingsbeslutninger (henholdsvis B 148 og B 4) – hvor B 148 dog ligger i klar forlængelse af B 4. Hertil kommer, at det i B 4 af 8. oktober 1998 hedder: ”Regeringen vil, før kommando over de danske enheder overgives til NATO, rådføre sig med Det Udenrigspolitiske Nævn.”5 Dette skete i første omgang den 13. oktober 1998.6 Som følge af Holbrooke-Milošević-aftalen den 13. oktober 1998 udsattes konflikten imidlertid, for at blusse 3 Justitsministeriet 2016, ”Aftale om en uvildig udredning af det historiske forløb i for- bindelse med Danmarks militære engagement

  • Peacekeeping and Foreign Aid in Conflict-Affected States
    ABSTRACT The Intervention Nexus: Peacekeeping and Foreign Aid in Conflict-Affected States by Jonathan Kurt Simmons The continued deployment of uniformed peacekeeping operations (PKOs) and simultaneous commitment of foreign aid demonstrate the belief that these interventions are viable tools for generating stability in conflict-affected environments. However, there appears to be no concerted effort within the international community to design or employ of these interventions in a constructive manner. In this thesis, I argue that these independent interventions increase stability by targeting the two components of stability: the network of political, economic, and social interactions or behaviors that define a state, and a socially-defined oversight mechanism that attempts to restrain those behaviors within accepted norms. I also argue that variation in mission design affects the level of oversight a PKO generates and that higher levels of United Nations involvement will generate more oversight. Furthermore, increased levels of development- focused foreign aid applied under this higher level of oversight will create an interactive effect that results in higher stability. Rather than looking for success in those indicators that are specific to either intervention, I argue that investments made in the conflict-affected economy by foreign firms seeking profit and security of their assets (foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows) are a viable measure to determine changes in stability. By considering all states that have hosted a uniformed peacekeeping mission 1970-2013, I find that United Nations PKOs and higher levels of development-focused foreign aid have a positive interactive effect on FDI inflows. However, we only observe these results when we account for the time necessary for aid commitments to be utilized in the field and information derived through PKO oversight to affect policy decisions aimed at conflict resolution and reconciliation.

NATO’s Commitment to the Balkans Key Information Key Information Key Definitions • Implementation Force (IFOR) – NATO-led force deployed to Bosnia and Herze- govina at the end of 1995 in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1031, with a one-year mandate to help ensure compliance with the military provisions of the Dayton Peace Accords of 14 December 1995. • Stabilisation Force (SFOR) – successor to IFOR, deployed since December 1996. • Kosovo Force (KFOR) – deployed in accordance with UN Security Council Res- olution 1244 of 10 June 1999 calling for an effective international civil and security presence in Kosovo. Resolution 1244 establishes Kosovo as an entity under interim international administration, requests the UN Secretary-General to appoint a Special Representative to oversee the implementation of the international civil presence, and authorises member states and relevant international organisations to establish the international security presence. KFOR works alongside the UN Mission to Kosovo (UNMIK) and other international and non-governmental agen- cies to lay the basis for security, stability and reconstruction. Key Facts • The security provided by IFOR and SFOR since 1995 has resulted in the return of large numbers of refugees and displaced persons uprooted by the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
