    S/1994/674/Annex VI Page 221 Casualties: Not specified Narrative of Events: 416. Despite Monday's dispatch of UN troops from Croatia to take control of the Sarajevo airport, Sarajevo itself remained volatile as sporadic fighting continued throughout the city. Serbian forces were reported to have withdrawn from the Sarajevo airfield, and they were also reported to have taken their large artillery weapons with them. Muslim forces had likewise been persuaded to reduce their fire in the airport area. 446/ 417. One hundred twenty-five French marines arrived at the airport and 1,000 members of the Canadian Mechanized Infantry and 80 armoured vehicles were scheduled to arrive on 2 July. These Canadian infantry forces were scheduled to be replaced within three weeks by combined UN peace-keeping forces from France, the Ukraine and Egypt. 447/ (b) Local reported events 418. The first UN relief supplies reached Sarajevo airport and local relief workers distributed 15 tons of food to 1,500 Muslim refugees and food and medical supplies also reached Koševo Hospital. 448/ (c) International reported events 419. US Defense Secretary, Richard B. Cheney, stated that the Bush administration was prepared to commit air and naval combat forces to escort and protect relief convoys into Sarajevo. 449/ 2. 2/7/92 (Thursday) (a) Military Activity Combat and Shelling Activity: BiH and Serbian forces continued to exchange artillery fire around the airport.

    On the Record: Returning Refugees to Bosnia Issue 9: June 8th, 1999 Taking Back Kozarac Contents: From Peter's diary -- 'The people of Kozarac take back their town" Emsuda Mujagić opens the meeting - "Step by step, bit by bit..." Profile: "She would wake in the mornings to find that people had thrown garbage on her porch and spat outside her door." From Teresa's diary - "A statement of their right to be present" From Peter's diary -- "What happens to a body...?" From the AP Editorial Desk From Peter's diary -- 'The people of Kozarac take back their town" Monday, May 24. Approximately 100 Bosnians, Croatians, Europeans, and North Americans sat in a sun-blasted courtyard in the middle of the ruins of Kozarac today as Emsuda Mujagić, director of Srcem do Mira, convened the conference under the title "Building Bridges of Peace and Trust in Civil Society." In the year that has passed since the fifth annual Srcem do Mira conference, much progress has taken place. But the good will between Serb and Muslim activists that pervaded the atmosphere of last year's conference is absent today, because the members of Serb nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the municipality have chosen not to attend this conference. This is partially a reflection of the present political atmosphere in the Republika Srpska (RS), resulting from the international community's recent award of Brčko to both entities and its removal of RS President Nikola Poplašen, as well as the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) intervention in neighboring Yugoslavia. For these and other reasons, relations between Serb and Muslim NGOs in this part of Bosnia are at a low point.

Madame Fauveau-Ivanović, you have the floor. Ms FAUVEAU-IVANOVIĆ: Thank you, Madam President. GENOCIDE I. Genocide was not committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina: the criminal acts were not the consequence of the political objectives of the Bosnian Serbs 1. Madam President, Members of the Court, we have been able to observe during the oral pleadings that the positions of the Applicant and of Serbia and Montenegro do not differ substantially as regards the definition of the constituent elements of genocide enumerated in Article II of the Genocide Convention. 2. We agree that the material elements of the crime of genocide, its actus reus, are enumerated exhaustively in Article II of the Genocide Convention, and that the crime of genocide can only be constituted by the commission of one of the acts enumerated. We have also reached agreement on the fact that such acts constitute genocide only if they are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religions group, as such. 3. However, we do not agree on the legal characterization of the facts in the present case, since the Applicant alleges that genocide was committed, while we consider that genocide was not committed. Indeed, Madam President, Members of the Court, genocide was not committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Neither Serbia and Montenegro nor the Bosnian Serbs had the intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.

James D. Schmitt Berlin, 1 February 2019 Abstract In an increasingly urbanized world, new constructs concerning urban fragility, the changed nature and increasing urbanization of armed conflict and emerging conceptual frameworks for urban post-conflict interventions present new discourses for urban planners and post-conflict first responders to consider. Cities with the highest level of fragility tend to be in states destabilized by ongoing intrastate conflict and yet even after negotiated peace settlements recovering cities appear particularly vulnerable to the accumulation of urban risks and tensions associated with higher levels of urban fragility. Working as part of an international post-conflict intervention recovery effort, how can urban planners contribute to achieving better long-term outcomes of peace and stability in the urban post-conflict setting? By conducting a macro and meso level case study analysis of Sarajevo's international post- conflict intervention through the lens of the social contract, liberal peace, and collective memory theoretical frameworks, this thesis seeks to identify strategic approaches and outcomes of Sarajevo's post-conflict intervention process and the related long-term impacts of these outcomes at the municipal and neighborhood scale.
