University Center The College of William and Mary • Williamsburg, Virginia For the better part of a decade, news of the Balkan conflict has generated great international concern. The break-up of Yugosla- via and the ongoing friction in Bosnia and Kosovo raise difficult questions about such issues as ethnic cleansing, war criminals, and the treatment of refugees. To address these and other topics, the College of William and Mary will host a conference of distinguished international experts from a variety of fields, including law, economics, journalism, political science, and Foreign service. Their experience in the region will guide us as we examine the complex circumstances Ieadlngup to the present situation, and explore the difficulties involved in the reconstruction of a peaceful society after years of internal conflict. "Bosnia and the Balkans: Conflict and Reconstruction" is sponsored jointly by the Reves Center for International Studies and the Institute of Bill of Rights Law at the College of William and Mary, and the Council ForAmerica's First Freedom in Richmond, Virginia.

When did you come to the U.S.? What are some of your academic and teach- ing interests? I was born and grew up in L’viv—a city in Western Ukraine that played a major role in the Ukrainian cultural revival in the late Soviet era and eventually in the move- ment for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. In those early years of independence, I participated in a student exchange program called FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) sponsored by the US State Depart- ment in an effort to build better relationships with the former Soviet republics. This program brought me to the United States for the first time: for ten months I lived with an American host family and studied at a public high school. In many ways, this program determined book project based on my dissertation. I also hope to my future path in life—upon my return to L’viv, I chose have a chance to teach a course on contemporary Slavic to major in English and English-Ukrainian translation at women’s writing sometime in the future. the university, and in the early 2000s I decided to return Besides literature, I also have strong research and to the United States for graduate work in languages and teaching interests in second language studies and Slavic literature.

From Indifference to Entrapment deals with the question of how the Netherlands faced up to this challenge during the years 1990-1995. It was during this period that the crisis erupted into armed conflict and the single worst war crime in Europe since the end of World War II took place in the ‘safe area’ of Srebrenica. The role of the Netherlands is particularly interesting, as the country held the EC/EU Presidency during the recognition debate in 1991 and supplied the peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica. The questions addressed in this book include: Did early warning work? What role did the Dutch Presidency (July-December 1991) play in the recognition debate? What motiv- ated the Dutch opposition to the Vance-Owen Peace Plan? Why did the Netherlands become From Indifference entrapped, as symbolised through its isolated peacekeeping commitment to Srebrenica? Finally, what can this story tell us about the ability of small and medium powers to in- fluence international affairs? This study is based on interviews with key players, including former Cabinet Minis- ters, and on documents from the Netherlands Ministry to Entrapment of Foreign Affairs, made available under the Dutch ‘freedom of information act’.

They must be exciting days through which you are living at present - the Secretary- General and the Organisation - particularly with the Kosovo operation unfolding. The importance of legitimacy in achieving effectiveness in the affairs of state seems finally to have been appreciated once more. I would like to say to the Secretary- General, and to yourself, that if you should have need of an old warhorse in any of the complex operational responsibilities that are building up" for the UN in various parts ofther world, well, herelam. Kofi might find that he has need of someone with my kind of experience, who knows the UN ropes rather well, is not too daunted by the precarious conditions under which a mission may have to be conducted, has worked closely with quite a lot of generals and other senior militaries, and whose loyalty lies entirely to the Secretary-General. As I think he would agree, I was rather much a "fieldman"' rather than a "head office man" - that is where I thought I most likely could be of use to him.

    POLICE IN PEACE OPERATIONS Erwin A. Schmidl Preface Peace operations, from their beginning in the nineteenth century and increasingly since the end of the Cold War, have included varying degrees of "police activities," ranging from supervising indigenous police agencies to actually performing law enforcement duties. Until recently, this aspect of peace operations has often been overlooked or under-appreciated in favour of the military, humanitarian, and political components of such missions. The following paper gives an overview of peace operations which involved police functions — known as "civilian police," or CIVPOL, in U.N. language. I became involved in the study of police in peace operations while I was a Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace in 1995-96. A first conference on this subject was organised at the USIP in May 1996, followed by a series of conferences and workshops convened by Ambassador Robert B. Oakley and Colonel Michael J. Dziedzic at the National Defense University in Washington D.C. in 1996-97. This resulted in their recent volume Policing the New World Disorder: Peace Operations and Public Security, perhaps the most comprehensive contribution to our knowledge of police aspects in peace operations. The following paper is a summary of peace operations including police aspects, both by the United Nations and outside the U.N. framework. The information is based on a variety of sources, and is accurate as of July 1998. Two new missions have not been included: in April 1998, a U.N. operation was established for the Central African Republic (MINURCA, Mission des Nations Unies en République Central-Africaine) which includes 17 police officers.

  • Legality Vs. Politics
    Stefan A. Riesenfeld Symposium Keynote Address- Securing International Peace: Legality vs. Politics By His Excellency Muhamed Sacirbey, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Mission of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the United Nations* Rapporteur: Ms. Hannah Garry** I. KEYNOTE ADDRESS Good evening. First of all with all of the eminent educated personalities, in view of the recent history in my country and in our region, I am glad to see that there are no psychiatrists in this group. As you know, Mr. Karadic and others have left their legacy on us. But indeed, I am honored to be among such a distinguished group. And lest we don't take ourselves all too seriously, I thought it would be appropriate to start in that direction. Mrs. Riesenfeld, it is my pleasure to be here at this forum. Dean, I think you've moved in the back, and, Professor thank you for the introduction and welcoming me so much. And particularly, I'd like to thank the student organizers. * Upon admittance of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the United Nations on May 22, 1992, H.E. Sacirbey was appointed Ambassador and Permanent Representative. In 1995, he served as Foreign Minister of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina for one and a half years where he was a key player in the Dayton Peace talks. Later, in 1996, he resumed his current post as Ambassador and was also named Special Envoy for the Implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. He was most recently also appointed as Vice-Chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the International Criminal Court.

  • IPPR Briefing Paper NO 44 Political Party Life in Namibia
    Institute for Public Policy Research Political Party Life in Namibia: Dominant Party with Democratic Consolidation * Briefing Paper No. 44, February 2009 By André du Pisani and William A. Lindeke Abstract This paper assesses the established dominant-party system in Namibia since independence. Despite the proliferation of parties and changes in personalities at the top, three features have structured this system: 1) the extended independence honeymoon that benefits and is sustained by the ruling SWAPO Party of Namibia, 2) the relatively effective governance of Namibia by the ruling party, and 3) the policy choices and political behaviours of both the ruling and opposition politicians. The paper was funded in part by the Danish government through Wits University in an as yet unpublished form. This version will soon be published by Praeger Publishers in the USA under Series Editor Kay Lawson. “...an emergent literature on African party systems points to low levels of party institutionalization, high levels of electoral volatility, and the revival of dominant parties.” 1 Introduction Political reform, democracy, and governance are centre stage in Africa at present. African analysts frequently point to the foreign nature of modern party systems compared to the pre-colonial political cultures that partially survive in the traditional arenas especially of rural politics. However, over the past two decades multi-party elections became the clarion call by civil society (not to mention international forces) for the reintroduction of democratic political systems. This reinvigoration of reform peaked just as Namibia gained its independence under provisions of the UN Security Council Resolution 435 (1978) and the supervision of the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG).
