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.

  • 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.

Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadži( warned that any NATO air strikes against his people would force them to reconsider all concessions to BiH. "If NATO adopts a new resolution aimed against the Serbs it would most certainly not contribute to the peace process, but instead would cause new difficulties in the search for a peace agreement", Karadži( told the Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA. 4187/ (c) International reported events 3101. NATO leaders said that they were ready to order air strikes in BiH under UN authority to prevent the siege of Sarajevo or to protect other areas, according to a draft of an alliance summit statement.
