Voices from Kosovo [11]
February 2010
Eleven years ago, Kosovo was a war zone on the world’s front pages, an ethnic and nationalistic cauldron in which both national and international laws seemed an utter irrelevance. When the guns at last fell silent, Colette Rausch worked for several years in Kosovo as part of the international community’s attempt to construct the rule of law amid the rubble. Last fall, she returned to find out whether, from the perspective of the people of Kosovo, the international community's efforts had been invaluable or in vain. Countries: Kosovo [12]
