Reality Demands: Documenting Violations of International Humanitarian Law in Kosovo 1999
June 2000
Abstract
This report is the product of seven months of field research conducted by teams of local and international personnel in Kosovo and Albania in 1999, as part of the International Crisis Group's Humanitarian Law Documentation Project. The Project was conceived in the spring of 1999, as violence and destruction in Kosovo forced hundreds of thousands of men, women and children from their homes, many seeking shelter in neighbouring Albania and The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (hereafter referred to as Macedonia). The purpose of the Project was to support the efforts of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ("the Tribunal" or "the ICTY") to investigate serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Kosovo and bring to justice persons responsible for such crimes.
