    * From Indifference to 19-12-2003 17:26 Pagina 1 NORBERT BOTH NORBERT NORBERT BOTH Fr om Indifference to Entrapment to om Indifference The Yugoslav crisis represents a formidable foreign policy challenge to many Western and Islamic government bureaucracies. 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’. ISBN 90-5356-453-5 Dr. Norbert Both, formerly a research assistant The Netherlands for David Owen, now works at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Il constitue le troisième fascicule d’une nouvelle série de la Biblio- graphie entreprise depuis les débuts de la Cour. Le numérotage des titres ayant franchi le cap des cinq chiffres, ce qui compliquait les renvois, il a été décidé de l’interrompre, et de reprendre désormais le numérotage à partir de 1 chaque année. Comme il avait été fait pour les fascicules nos 19 à 34, les nos 35 à 54 ont été reliés en un volume, que l’on peut recevoir du Greffe sur demande. Des considérations d’ordre pratique et l’évolution historique ont amené à donner à la nouvelle série une présentation différente. Les rubriques ont été remaniées et la disposition typographique améliorée, en vue de faciliter l’usage de la Bibliographie. La liste complète des rubriques continuera à fi- gurer dans la table des matières placée en tête de chaque volume. Toutefois, dans le texte même, les rubriques sous lesquelles aucun titre n’est à indiquer pour l’année considérée seront omises. Chaque titre continuera à figurer sous une seule rubrique, tous les renvois nécessaires étant faits dans les index des matières en français et en anglais. Ces index, ainsi que l’index des noms d’auteurs, auront un caractère cumulatif à partir du fascicule n° 55.

  • Conclusions Euromed
    EUROMED REPORT Edition no 90 1 June 2005 CONCLUSIONS FOR THE VIITH EURO-MEDITERRANEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (LUXEMBOURG, 30-31 MAY 2005) I. INTRODUCTION 1. The VIIth Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Luxembourg on 30- 31 May (‘Barcelona VII’) allowed Ministers to assess what has been achieved so far and to discuss general guidelines for the future of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, thus preparing the way for the Extraordinary High Level Meeting that will be held in Barcelona on 27-28 November in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Partnership and define a set of actions for the future. These two events constitute the political highlights of the “Year of the Mediterranean”. The adoption of the Barcelona Declaration on November 28, 1995 marked a turning-point in relations between the European Union and its neighbours on the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean. A partnership was launched which is unique in its scope. The Barcelona Declaration set out medium and long-term goals to be achieved on a basis of joint ownership, dialogue and cooperation. The Hague Ministerial Meeting, which took place in November 2004, agreed that a comprehensive review of the process should be submitted to Ministers in Luxembourg for approval, which should provide the basis for decisions on the future of the process, to be adopted at the Extraordinary Meeting in Barcelona. II. REVIEW OF THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN PARTNERSHIP 2. Senior Officials have conducted a review of the ten years of the Barcelona Process based on input from a number of different sources.

  • The Issue of Occupation in Lithuanian-Russian Relations: Information Security Aspects
    THE ISSUE OF OCCUPATION IN LITHUANIAN-RUSSIAN RELATIONS: INFORMATION SECURITY ASPECTS Diana Jurgelevičiūtė* Introduction Competition in the information sphere is based on the aspiration of making one’s own viewpoint of a certain event or issue dominant and imposing it on others. Information security covers the protection of information and activities based on information (making decisions about the foreign, domestic, and national security issues of the state), and the protection of the idea of the state (ideology and values). Propaganda, the restriction of information, the aspiration to have influence on the opinion and behaviour of society or the authorities, forcing them to act according to a scenario that has been planned in advance, pose a threat to these reference objects of security. Concern about information pressure being exerted and hostile information campaigns being carried out is on the increase in the public sphere of Lithuania. Awareness of Russia’s aspiration to maintain Lithuania in its zone of influence by means of information power causes concern about the protection of interests, values, historical truth, and the national attitude towards and position on various issues. Information that is presented by official figures of Russia or in the media but does not correspond to facts or is an incorrect interpretation of events or history as seen by Lithuania is considered to be a threat. The position declared by Russia is often at variance with Lithuania’s official position and misleads the international community. Therefore, the importance of the information security of Lithuania and the need to understand information threats and vulnerabilities increases. Information security in Russia is perceived as the efficient presentation of the official position of the authorities on various issues to domestic and international society and the protection of national * Diana Jurgelevičiūtė – PhD student at the Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University.

Customary International Law and Torture: The Case of India A. Mark Weisburd* I. INTRODUCTION This paper examines the contradiction between statements from well-respected sources regarding customary international law as it bears on torture and the actual behavior of states as to torture. It does so by focusing on one state, India. The purpose of the paper is both to make clear the conflict between state behavior and rules that are supposed to be law and to reflect on some of the implications of and conundrums raised by this situation. This paper will discuss the claim that prohibitions against torture and violations of human rights are a part of customary international law, suggesting that they are not, nor should they be. II. THE VIEWS OF THE AUTHORITIES In his inaugural report as the first Special Rapporteur on Torture for the UN Commission on Human Rights ("Commission") Pieter Kooijmans wrote: Torture is now absolutely and without any reservation prohibited under international law whether in time of peace or of war...
