§ Lord Astor of Heverasked Her Majesty's Government:
What information they have received from the United Nations on its report on NATO's reaction to unrest in Kosovo in the spring of 2004. [HL4095]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThere have been two UN reports produced in response to the March 2004 violence in Kosovo. The UN Secretary General gave his quarterly report on the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK) on 30 July 2004 available athttp://ods-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N04/446/69/IMG/ N0444669.pdf?OpenElement. The UN Secretary General also commissioned the Norwegian Ambassador to NATO, Kai Eide, to produce a report on the situation in Kosovo. This report is not yet in the public domain, although its key recommendations are well known. These include the acceleration of the transfer of competencies to Kosovo institutions in conjunction with elaborating a programme of Kosovo-wide decentralisation, which we support.
