@charbonelle I'm actually thinking of undertaking a Phd Thesis on the International Crisis Group and Kosovo's Political Status...The ICG has been at the forefront of shaping the policy agenda on the resolution of the Kosovo final status but their are not politically neutral....anyone familiar with they work will know that they have pushed a pro Albanian/pro US agenda and if you look at its close connections with the US government you can understand why..

[charbonelle]

The example of Haiti alone, combined with the R2P Lobby's silence on the Haiti case and its close proximity to other interventionist projects, should compel those who are concerned with the erosion of state sovereignty, the [re-]emergence of a paradigm of "humanitarian imperialism," and a continuation of the global counterinsurgency campaign (aka 'war on terror'), to think twice about supporting R2P's entrenchment as a global norm.
