ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | Violent conflict causes massive humanitarian suffering, undermines development and human rights and stifles economic growth. In situations of conflict, political democracies are unable to mature and conflict creates conditions where terrorism and organised crime thrive. The European Union (EU) has made a number of commitments to prioritise the prevention of violent conflict and has developed a series of key policy statements and institutional changes. Significant progress has been made to advance the conflict prevention agenda during the Spanish and Danish Presidencies in 2002, building on the work undertaken by the Belgium and Swedish Presidencies. The aim of this document is to highlight practical steps that the EU could take during the Greek and Italian Presidencies in 2003 to better implement and monitor the progress of the commitments made on conflict prevention. The paper is aimed to provide support to the Presidencies, to member states, the Commission, the Council, parliamentarians and non-governmental organisations (NGOS) in furthering the role of the EU in preventing violent conflict. This paper outlines five key issues for EU member states and the Commission to address during the Greek and Italian Presidencies to enenhance the EU's capacity to prevent violent conflict. |
