Terrorism Project Overview Reports Index "Responding to Terror" Address by Gareth Evans to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, 21 September 2001 21 September 2001 It is possible to distinguish five separate objectives, which have to be simultaneously pursued if the response to the horror of the 11 September terrorist attacks against the United States, and the potential horrors of the future, is to be adequate. These are strengthening international security, bringing perpetrators to justice, building international defences against future attacks,and addressing the conflicts and policy issues, as well as the underlying social, economic and clutural issues that generate grievance.

Terrorism Project Overview Reports Index "Allies tell us: peace comes first" Letter to the editor by ICG Board Member William O. Taylor, published in The Boston Globe on 20 September 2001 20 September 2001 The International Crisis Group, of which I am a member, had an opportunity to meet with top officials at both NATO and the European Union on a recent trip to Europe.

Terrorism Project Overview Reports Index "Stop this racism" Comment by ICG Board Member William Shawcross, published in The Guardian on 17 September 2001 17 September 2001 Britain, led ably by Tony Blair following the 11 September terrorist attacks against the US, has responded well to the outrage.

Macedonia Project Overview Reports Index "Making a Real Peace in Macedonia" Comment by Edward Joseph, published in the New York Times on 31 August 2001 31 August 2001 The lesson of international intervention in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo is that the most critical period in peacemaking comes immediately after an agreement. Given the security vacuum that persists in Macedonia even after the signing of the 13 August peace agreement, NATO troops engaged in collecting arms from Albanian rebels will need to take additional steps to make the paper peace a real one. They should seek out and seize weapons not voluntarily surrendered to them, oversee the disarmament and demobilisation of Macedoniana paramilitaries and deploy a force along the borders with Albania and Serbia as a confidence and security building measure.
