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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | In the late 1980s, Yugoslavia began its disintegration, igniting over a decade of ethnic fighting marked by systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide committed in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. In total, close to half a million civilians would be killed, and four million driven from their homes as a result of Slobodan Milosevic's reliance on ethno-nationalism and ethnic cleansing as tools for accumulating and retaining political power in order to pursue his dream of a greater Serbia. To the major powers and the United Nations organization, the effort to halt atrocities and restore peace to this troubled part of the world would constitute the last great foreign policy challenge of the twentieth century. This study examines and explores the role of the norms and institutions of justice in the process of peace-building during this time of conflict in the former Yugoslavia. The specific task of this study is to evaluate the extent to which the norms and institutions of justice have played and continue to play a role in the peace-building process in the former Yugoslavia, and to assess the extent to which the approach of accountability conflicts with and/or serves concomitantly with other normative approaches such as accomodation, economic inducement, and the use of force. Based on this evaluation and assessment, the study seeks to promote an understanding of the relationship between the approach of accountability and other relevant approaches so they may be properly balanced by diplomats and foreign policy agents in their future attempts to build peace out of conflict. |
