Upcoming Event:

The Independent International Commission on Kosovo
Presents: The Kosovo Report

Friday, November 2, from 10-12 pm

Georgetown University--Copley Formal Lounge

Justice Richard Goldstone of the Constitutional Court
of South Africa and Carl Tham, secretary-general of
the Olof Palme International Center in Stockholm,
co-chairs of the Independent International Commission
on Kosovo, are returning to Washington to present the
Addendum to the Independent International Commission's
Kosovo Report.  They will be joined by Commission
member Mary Kaldor of the London School of Economics.

The situation in Kosovo has changed dramatically since
the report was issued in October 2000.  The ouster of
the Milosevic regime in Belgrade, the outbreak of
violence in Macedonia, and the promise of the upcoming
elections in Kosovo have prompted the Commission to
issue a response.  The Commission will present its
Addendum to the original report at the November 2
event.

The Independent International Commission on Kosovo was
initiated by Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson in
an effort to provide an independent and comprehensive
analysis of the Kosovo war.  The Kosovo Report was the
result of a 12-month study by a prestigious collection
of individuals, including the chair and co-chair and
11 independent commission members.  The Kosovo
Commission examined key developments at each stage of
the Kosovo war.  The report focused on the origins of
the Kosovo crisis, the diplomatic efforts to end the
conflict, the role of the United Nations, and NATO's
decision to intervene militarily.
