On February 17, 2018 the Republic of Kosovo celebrated its 10th Anniversary of Independence marking a historic milestone. INPS-IDN joined a UN Media Team from June 23-28 to get to know the landlocked territory in the Balkan Peninsula and the challenges it faces ten years after it declared unilateral independence from former Yugoslavia in the aftermath of the Kosovo War in the whirl and muddle of Yugoslav Wars.
Kosovo is a product of a lengthy and consensual political negotiation process mediated by United Nations envoy Marti Ahtisaari, a project that was anything, but isolated. Ahtisaari’s conclusion was forged on the basis of the sui generis character of Kosovo’s independence while taking into account the international humanitarian intervention to stop war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo.
In 2010, the International Court of Justice once again confirmed Kosovo had the right to declare independence thereby reinforcing Kosovo’s statehood. Ten years onward, Kosovo and the region are at peace. Kosovo is recognized as an independent state by 116 countries, it is a member of various international and regional organizations, and is in the process of becoming a member of the European Union and NATO.
Since independence, Kosovo has made significant progress in its implementation of comprehensive reforms including economic development, rule of law, education, and minority rights – with a key focus on securing and guaranteeing the rights of Kosovo’s Serbian minority, for which today Kosovo is a leading example.
Relations with Kosovo’s neighbour, Serbia, have also improved, with a new array of agreements reached as part of the EU-facilitated Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. However, whatever has been achieved does not yet suffice to translate into reality what Kosovo rightfully aspires: to become a full-fledged member of the United Nations, the European Union, and NATO.
As part of the UN Media Team, INPS-IDN DG and Editor-in-Chief Ramesh Jaura also met with Kosovo’s Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, asking him to explain his roadmap for the country to become a full-fledged member of the United Nations, the European Union, and NATO.

国連軍縮部の「平和のための女性奨学金:グローバル・サウス・プログラム」の修了生として、パラジュリ氏は、軍縮や開発関連問題の主要な概念的・実践的側面に関する専門的な訓練を受けてきた。国連ウィーン事務局のバラ軍縮部長が指摘しているように、そうした訓練は、パラジュリ氏のような青年が変革を引き起こすために必要な、首尾一貫し、調整され、文脈に応じた対応の一環だと言える。なぜなら、青年は、戦争と紛争の文脈において、責任逃れを許さず、女性にとっての正義を追求する担い手となるからだ。(原文へ) PDF

ICANの中東における主要なパートナー団体である「イスラエル軍縮運動」(Israeli Disarmament Movement 〈IDM〉 シャロン・ドレブ氏が創設し、現在議長を務める)がこの6年間イスラエルの世論に影響を与えてきたものの、イスラエル・メディアによる黙殺は驚くべきものではないとみられている。
「イスラエル軍縮運動」のイスラエルにおける法人名称は、「地域平和軍縮運動(The Regional Peace and Disarmament Movement (RPM) )」(2010年創設)で、中東における非大量破壊兵器地帯(WMDFZ)の創設と、核兵器の全面禁止の実現を主要目標に掲げてている非政府組織(NPO)である。
