On the single most significant post-1989 conflict

TFF worked with and in all of the Yugoslav space from September 1991.
This conflicts – the largest immediately after the 1989 end of the First Cold War – had larger consequences for law, NATO expansion, the UN, Western warfare, “humanitarian” intervention and regime change policies than even the fall of the Berlin Wall itself.
We did 70+ peace missions to all parts of former Yugoslavia, 3000+ interviews with all conflict parties and at all levels and courses, seminars, peace plans, press conferences, co-operation with all UN missions in the region, and more.
TFF published all Galtung, Oberg and Wiberg wrote, as they had written it, in 2015: about 2000 A4 pages in one blog, freely available.
It’s a work on world and European history and a major publication in peace research and peace politics – with constructive ideas for peace which, had anybody listened, could have saved thousands of lives. Click
