	INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK OF HELSINKI WATCH
		Helsinki Watch made contact with activists in these groups and in the course of the year was able to strengthen and expand such relationships.
		The Helsinki Watch delegation expressed its concern about prolonged pre-trial detention to the Minister of Justice and upon return to the United States, filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the detainees that was instrumental in their release in October.
		Helsinki Watch issued a lengthy News from the USSR in May that includes a report on the April massacre of demonstrators in Georgia, an update on political prisoners and status reports on freedom of expression, assembly and movement.

		Helsinki Watch continued to be the primary source of detailed information on human rightsabuses in the former Yugoslavia, scrupulously documenting and publicizing abuses by all sides in the conflict.

		Over the past twenty odd years, Human Rights Watch has attempted to influence many peace processes with the understanding that conflict management -- that is, the cessation of violence -- must be coupled with the creation and maintenance of a strong foundation upon which a human rights culture can be built.
		Human Rights Watch believes that it is instructive to look at some of the mistakes which have been made in the course of other peace processes in order to inform ourselves about the possibilities for positive action on human rights in the Northern Ireland process.
		Indeed, Human Rights Watch strongly believes that there are many human rights issues that cannot and must not be "outcomes" of the negotiations.
