He said NATO has acted in 1999 to prevent a catastrophe.
“NATO moved in 1999 to stop the humanitarian disaster in Kosovo. NATO acted to prevent further and continuing human rights violations and the killing of civilians. KFOR has secured a safe environment in Kosovo where all its citizens can advance”, the British diplomat on Facebook writes.

I especially think of over 1,000 children killed, even after June 12, 1999. I think of those peacekeepers, in KFOR and UNMIK, who died in the service of peace in Kosovo. In their memory, we must engage in a better future. Support for the victims. Justice for them and their families. But also a commitment to tell the truth about what happened and to do everything in our power to stop it again. As President Clinton said today, peace action is a choice each of us can make”, writes O'Connell.
