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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | Kosovo broke new ground. It was a war fought for a new end: the defense of a party to a civil war within a state. It was fought without ground troops, in the hope and expectation that there would be no casualties at all. And so it proved. Technological mastery removed death from our experience of war. But war without death-to our side-is war that ceases to be fully real to us: virtual war. What was new about the Kosovo war, therefore, was the impunity with which it was waged. But if impunity is required before values are defended, what exactly are values worth? This is the first question and the second question is: If Western nations can employ violence with impunity, will they not be tempted to use it more often? The answers to these questions are not obvious. |
