Kosovo during the period from the 24th of March 1999 (the date of the onset of the NATO air- campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) to December 2003 – the month of the closure of the Danish Support Unit in Kosovo. Within two weeks of the onset of the air-campaign an estimated 855,400 refugees from Kosovo took flight to Macedonia and Albania, an event that aroused great public concern in Denmark. On the 7th of April 1999, the Danish Parliament allocated DKK 180 million to assist the “victims of the Kosovo conflict”. In the subsequent three and a half years, 10 more appropriations were authorised by Parliament. In total, DKK 1.4 billion was allocated from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in response to the Kosovo crisis1. The commissioning agent for this Evaluation is Danida, and the observations and rec- ommendations are therefore primarily focussed upon the MFA. In June 1999, the MFA issued a policy paper entitled “Reconstruction and Democratisation in the Western Balkans” (hereafter referred to as the Kosovo Action Plan) that was to provide strategic guidance for emergency relief, reconstruction, transitional assistance and longer-term conflict pre- vention for the entire period of the Kosovo aid operation. This Evaluation is primarily concerned with assessing the impact achieved by Denmark’s official aid programme in terms of the strategic goals set out in the Kosovo Action Plan. To the extent that tactical and operational matters have affected the attainment of these high level goals, and where sufficient evidence has been available, the report also takes into consideration the effec- tiveness and efficiency of the operations funded by the aid programme. A key objective of the Evaluation is to identify “lessons learnt” from the Danish inter- vention in Kosovo to improve the policy, strategy and operational approach to forth- coming Danish interventions in conflict situations. Inevitably assessment will tend to be affected by the wisdom of hindsight. Any critique of the preparedness, efficiency, effectiveness, relevance and impact of response should acknowledge the elements of chaos and unpredictability of much of what happened on the ground in Kosovo in 1999 and the extraordinary challenges posed to the mobilization and organization of assistance and relief especially in the emergency phase.

The Future of Peace Support Operations Paper Submitted to the ISROP Programme at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Canada March 2003 By Jane Boulden Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine the evolution of peace support operations since the end of the Cold War and on that basis to discuss the possible form future operations might take and the context in which they might be carried out. To do this the paper has five sections. The first section provides background by briefly describing the provisions for peace support in the United Nations Charter, and the nature of the Cold War experience in peace support. In the second section the paper outlines the evolving nature of peace support operations by first tracing the changing nature of peace support operations in the post-Cold War era, and then discussing the accompanying changes in the approach to peace support – the way in which peace support was pursued.

    AM - UNEP African Industrial Workshop Africa=Regional Industrial review African Preparatory Conference for the World Summit on Sustainable development Nairobi, 15-18 October 2001 UNID9 UNEP African Preparatory Conference for the World Summit on Sustainable Development Nairobi, 15-18 October 2001 African Industrial Workshop Africa—Regional Industrial Review 1(0128125 120202 Preface There have been many responses to Agenda 21 and the widespread dissemination of the concept of sustainable development, some of which may not have been expected. The word "sustainability" has been introduced into everyday conversation, but is often used without thought as to its recent history, context and meaning. The passing of a decade since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992, provides an opportunity to reflect on the irreversible changes that have occurred within industry and in the regulatory climate within which it operates. This report, prepared for UNEP/UNIDO by Professor C.A. Buckley of the Pollution Research Group of the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Natal in Durban, South Africa, serves to record some of the major events and changes that have occurred in Africa since UNCED. It also serves to record visions for the future in order to provide a platform for debate and discussion on the way ahead. In 1992, there was a vision and a desire to strive for sustainable development. There were goals and there were challenges, but each region had to define its own way forward. During the next 10 years, the lessons of the past must be learned, and diligence and thoughtfulness must characterize our endeavours.
