Die Weigerung des kroatischen Präsidenten Tudjman, das UNPROFOR-Mandat der Stationierung von Friedenstruppen zwischen Kroatien und der Krajina zu verlängern, hat ein neues Stadium des Konflikts im ehemaligen Jugoslawien eröffnet. Der internationale Druck, den diese Entscheidung ausgelöst hat, hat zum UNCRO-Mandat und damit auf den ersten Blick zu einem Einlenken Tudjmans geführt. Dieses Mandat, das eine Stationierung von UN-Truppen entlang der international anerkannten Grenzen Kroatiens vorsieht, richtet sich de facto jedoch unmittelbar gegen den serbischen Präsidenten Milosevic, da mit einer solchen Regelung UN-Truppen zwischen den drei serbischen Regionen Serbien, Republik Srpska und Krajina postiert würden und es so zu einer Reintegration der Krajina in den kroatischen Staat käme. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das gegenwärtige Zögern der UN bei der Umsetzung des neuen Mandats verständlich. (BIOst-Wpt)

Both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) are now about to close. Bachmann and Fatic look back at the achievements and shortcomings of both tribunals from an interdisciplinary perspective informed by sociology, political science, history, and philosophy of law and based upon on two key notions: the concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. The first asks to what extent the input (creation) of, the ICTY and the ICTR can be regarded as legitimate in light of the legal and public debate in the early 1990s. The.

This volume presents the state of the art of philosophical practice worldwide from the perspectives of leading philosophical practitioners, both counselors and institutional consultants. Philosophical practice has developed in different directions in different parts of the world, with the focus in Europe and North America being mostly on client counseling and corporate consultancy, while in Asia it is more community-based and more closely aligned with psychotherapy. In all cases, philosophical practitioners strive to transcend the boundaries of academic philosophy and reach out to the public, to corporations, to the policy makers, to the medical, legal and many other professions. The chapters of this book illustrate both the breadth of philosophical practice and its various methodological directions, while, at the same time, showing how philosophy can be relevant to everyday life, not just for individuals, but for the economy, the government, international organizations, the helping and therapeutic professions, and the educational system. The volume is primarily a companion for students of applied philosophy on all levels, as well as for modern psychotherapists, educational professionals and academics. It is designed to support a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in philosophy and applied psychology, ranging from ancient ethics to philosophical practice sui generis, or to the philosophy of psychology

The paper examines the concept of individual and collective value identities based an emotionalist understanding of values. The main perspective it discusses is one where emotions are the most important practical instruments for the clarification of individual and collective values. The argument implies that moral emotions are not irrational, but have a logic of their own which can reliably pinpoint the persons' value system; emotions are thus crucial building blocks of an ethics which is able to enhance personal and moral identity. This particular ecology of moral emotions is pivotal in crisis periods, such as the global pandemics, wars or system crashes, either economic, or political, security, diplomatic or cultural. In the current circumstances, where the already shaken individual and collective values throughout the world have been shaken by the Covid-19 pandemic, understanding identities as fundamentally couched in moral emotions may be critical to saving our cultures and our legacies of social and moral capital.

This book discusses the crucial strategic topic for the practical implementation of transitional justice in post-conflict societies by arguing that the dilemma is defined by the extent to which the actual achievement of the political goals of transition is a necessary condition for the long-term observance and implementation of justice.
