| Peacebuilding and Reconstruction (IDRC) |
The International Development Research Centre's (IDRC)
Peacebuilding Initative (PI) seeks to contribute to peacebuilding
through research on and research for peacebuilding by engaging Southern
partners in this rapidly evolving field.
The PI's mission is to support knowledge generation, policy development
and research capacity building as tools to assist war-torn countries
in their transition to peace and sustainable development. The PI works
primarily in three regions: Southern Africa, the Middle East and Central
America. However, the results of the research it supports are expected
to have broader applicability. http://network.idrc.ca/ev.php?URL_ID=2839&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201&reload=1035048969 |

| Kosovo: Protection and Peace-Building |
The Lawyers Committee for Human Rights carried out
a mission to Kosovo from July 29 to August 2, 1999, to examine the
protection situation for refugees, returnees, internally displaced
persons (IDPs), and minorities in Kosovo as well as safeguards for
the rights of those who have not yet returned. The mission also assessed
the role of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
within the overall structure of the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo
(UNMIK).
This report builds on the work of a Lawyers Committee mission to Albania
in June, which assessed the protection needs and problems of the 400,000
Kosovar Albanian refugees in Kosovo. It takes as its frame of reference
the Lawyers Committee’s Legal Principles for the Protection of Kosovar
Refugees and Returnees. http://www.lchr.org/feature/kosovo/peacebuilding.htm |
