Indonesia's subsequent record, however, has been unimpressive. ICG analyses the legal system and documents the obstacles to accountability, including corrupt courts, political pressures, lack of funds and the military's residual power. Of special international concern, the record in dealing with human rights violations in East Timor is particularly poor. The report argues that failure to hold senior officers to account is not helpful for the nation's stability, because of the message it sends to regions where separatist movements are active (Aceh, Irian Jaya) or tensions are particularly high (Maluku). --> Please see www.crisisweb.org for the full report ------------------------------------- CrisisWeb - http://www.crisisweb.org ------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with "unsubscribe crisisweb <your email address>" to [email protected] ------------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: ICG Email <[email protected]>(by way of richard barbrook) Subject: C R I S I S W E B N E W S Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 20:57:57 +0000 (GMT) C R I S I S W E B N E W S --------------------------- Thursday, 1 February 2000 Kosovo -------------- In the sharply divided communities of Kosovo, interfaith dialogue offers a way to reconciliation. Religion in Kosovo, the International Crisis Group's latest report on the Balkans, finds that contrary to common belief, religion has not been a direct cause of conflict and calls on the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) to establish and fund a permanent Kosovo Interfaith Council. The report concludes that while there are bitter social and political divisions between Kosovo's Serbs and Albanians, some religious leaders of all faiths, Orthodox, Muslim and Catholic, are prepared to enter a dialogue. However UNMIK's support is crucial to give the talks appropriate standing. UNMIK should also provide adequate funding for the repair and protection of all religious monuments, and ensure that education in Kosovo remains secular. --> see www.crisisweb.org for the full report ------------------------------------- CrisisWeb - http://www.crisisweb.org ------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with "unsubscribe crisisweb <your email address>" to [email protected] ------------------------------------- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
