	KFOR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to the establishment of KFOR, Kosovo was facing a grave humanitarian crisis.
		The objectives of KFOR are to establish and maintain a secure environment in Kosovo, including public safety and order; to monitor, verify and when necessary, enforce compliance with the agreements that ended the conflict; and to provide assistance to the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
		The nations contributing the most to KFOR include the United Kingdom (19,000 troops), the United States (7,000), France (7,000), Germany (6,000), Italy (5,000), Russia (3,000?), The Netherlands (2,000), Ukraine (1,300), and Spain (1,200) [1].

	Operation Joint Guardian
		Multi-National Brigade (East) [MNB (East)] is part of the NATO led KFOR and is comprised of soldiers from the United States, Greece, Armenia, Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
		UNMIK international civilian authorities and KFOR leadership generally maintained effective control over security forces; however, there were reports that elements of the security forces acted independently of their respective authority.
		KFOR and UNMIK police were responsible for killing several protesters during riots in March 2004 after the protestors failed to heed prior warnings and threatened the international security officials or those they were protecting.

	2000/05/11 02:25 KFOR at Its Western Front
		Although in the course of almost a year since their entrance of Kosovo KFOR patrolling units were a few times forced to cross the border between Serbia and Kosovo and enter the five-kilometre grey zone where Yugoslav forces are not permitted to enter, this was an incident that caught attention.
		And since both COMZUEST and KFOR are under NATO command, it was believed that the hardest part of this road, the part which connects the northern city of Kukes with the border crossing with Kosovo should be controlled by KFOR which has greater potentials and a higher degree of preparedness for facing dangerous situations.
		Establishment of powerful control of KFOR troops on the roads and the border made this trade difficult and reduced their chances for making a profit and not rarely KFOR troops were directly faced by criminals.

	Central Europe Review - KFOR and UNMIK: A Year of Failure
		KFOR and UNMIK authorities can only shake their heads and wonder how the hell they got involved in the whole mess in the first place.
		After a year of rule, KFOR and UNMIK have been unable to put in place any kind of government or effective local administration, since the UÇK assumed control of the province as soon as the Serbian army moved out and have hardly been willing to give it up for some international "multiethnic" dream.
		Not KFOR soldiers, that is for sure, nor will the Serbs or most of the Albanians who are tired of living in constant fear.

		Representatives of the Diocese of Raska and Prizren and the SNC unanimously are of the opinion that yesterday's destruction of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Vucitrn is the direct responsibility of the KFOR forces from the United Arab Emirates.
		During the previous destruction of the church of St. Nicholas in [the Vucitrn village of] Banjska [on January 30, 2000], the Diocese learned from well-informed sources that the attack was coordinated with Arab troops which withdrew at the decisive moment and permitted the terrorists to destroy the church.
		KFOR and UNMIK, who have not resolved ONE case, not ONE single case, to date of the destruction of a church are responsible for carrying out, at least, monetary reparations to the Church.

	ASIL Insight: KFOR Accountability
		KFOR, which is led by and primarily composed of NATO forces, is charged with: "[d]eterring renewed hostilities, maintaining and where necessary enforcing a ceasefire, and ensuring the withdrawal.
		There are at least three different modalities through which international human rights law might apply to the conduct of KFOR soldiers in Kosovo: the mandate of Resolution 1244; the human rights obligations of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; and the human rights obligations of the governments of the national contingents of KFOR.
		All of the national governments of the various KFOR contingents are bound by the Geneva Conventions, which form the core of modern humanitarian law.

	Why is the KLA shooting at KFOR?
		KFOR and the UN bureaucrats achieved this miracle by allowing the KLA thugs to be Kosovo's police force and government.
		They shot at French KFOR troops from positions on the non-KLA (that is, northern) side of the Ibar River, as if to make it appear that the shooting was the work of Serbs.
		Since KFOR admits the violence derives entirely from the KLA side, is the unnamed crime for which the Serbs are to be punished existential: "One is a Serb; one exists; therefore, one is bad"?
