	Rambouillet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rambouillet is a sous-préfecture of the Yvelines département, being the seat of the Arrondissement of Rambouillet.
		Rambouillet was in the spotlight during the Kosovo Crisis, where parties to this conflict met in February/March 1999 under the auspices of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
		The old fortified Château de Rambouillet was acquired by Louis XVI of France in 1783 as a private residence; it is still the official summer residence of French presidents.

	Richard Becker: Rambouillet: a Declaration of War Disguised as a Peace Agreement
		When she was at Rambouillet in February, 1999 she repeatedly stated that "we are not here to negotiate." Albright told the media that the "best international mediators have drafted the agreement." It was, as Albright stressed, a take-it-or-leave-it deal.
		But the Rambouillet accord went much, much further–it required that Yugoslavia allow NATO unfettered access to any and all parts of the country's territory, with all costs to be borne by the host country.
		We believe that the Rambouillet Accord is, in itself and particularly when considered in connection with other events and testimony presented here today, clear and irrefutable evidence of a crime against peace, the planning and carrying out of a war of aggression by the U.S. and the other NATO powers.

	Rambouillet Accord - Interim Agreement for Peace and Self-Government in Kosovo
		In accordance with this Agreement, alleged violations of the cease-fire shall be reported to international observers and shall not be used to justify use of force in response.
		The communal police established by this Agreement shall have exclusive law enforcement authority and jurisdiction and shall be the only police presence in Kosovo following the reduction and eventual withdrawal from Kosovo by the MUP, with the exception of border police as specified in Article VI and any support provided pursuant to Article I(3)(h).
		The CIM shall be the final authority in theater regarding interpretation of the civilian aspects of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to abide by his determinations as binding on all Parties and persons.

	Kosovo Peace Plan
		The Rambouillet Agreement called for complete military occupation and substantial political control of Kosovo by NATO, and effective NATO military occupation of the rest of Yugoslavia.
		On June 5, after the peace agreement of June 3, the press reported that under the annex to the Rambouillet Agreement "a purely NATO force was to be given full permission to go anywhere it wanted in Yugoslavia, immune from any legal process," citing also the wording (New York Times; also others).
		Evidently, in the absence of clear and repeated explanation of the basic terms of the Rambouillet Agreement -- the official "peace process" -- it has been impossible for the public to gain any serious understanding of what was taking place, or to assess the accuracy of the preferred version of the Kosovo Accord.

	Rambouillet Agreement
		Within nine months of the entry into force of this Agreement, there shall be elections in accordance with and pursuant to procedures specified in Chapter 3 of this Agreement for authorities established herein, according to a voter list prepared to international standards by the Central Election Commission.
		Notwithstanding the above, and with the NATO Commander's express agreement in each case, the authorities in the FRY may exceptionally exercise jurisdiction in such matters, but only in respect of Contractor personnel who are not subject to the jurisdiction of their nation of citizenship.
		Amendments to this Agreement shall be adopted by agreement of all the Parties, except as otherwise provided by Article X of Chapter 1.

	[No title]
		There were, in fact, no negotiations at all, and no sovereign, independent state could have signed this "peace agreement." Appendix B of the Accord would have opened the door for the occupation of all of Yugoslavia.
		The role of the Rambouillet Accord in this process was to put the onus, unfairly, on the Yugoslav side for the failure to achieve a peaceful resolution, in order to justify the massive bombing of the entire country.
		The Rambouillet Accord was, in truth, a declaration of war disguised as a peace agreement!

	Interim Agreement
		In parallel with the continuing full implementation of this Agreement, urgent attention must be focused on meeting the real humanitarian and economic needs of Kosovo in order to help create the conditions for reconstruction and lasting economic recovery.
		All laws and regulations in effect in Kosovo when this Agreement enters into force shall remain in effect unless and until replaced by laws or regulations adopted by a competent body.
		All laws and regulations applicable in Kosovo that are incompatible with this Agreement shall be presumed to have been harmonized with this Agreement.

	Kosova Daily Report #1711, 99-03-05
		Asked by a questioner whether the Kosovar Albanian side could sign the Rambouillet Agreement before the resumption of negotiations in mid-March, the President said this depended on what the proceedings would be in agreement with the negotiators.
		The implementation of the Rambouillet accords by the international community, the deployment of NATO troops, is a must, for only in that way can bloodshed end and the agreement be put to life, the Kosovar parliamentarians underlined.
		Naip Zeka, coordinator of the Kosovar team of experts in the Rambouillet conference in France, said the conference should be viewed as a stage in the process of the international engagement on Kosova.

	Statement of Slobodan Milosevic regarding Rambouillet
		That other document, which you call the Rambouillet Agreement, however, is not the Rambouillet Agreement.
		Otherwise, the text you call the Rambouillet Agreement, was published in the Kosovo press (the Albanian paper "Koha Ditore") before the start of the Rambouilet talks.
		But we are strongly against not having talks at all, and being asked to sign something which could eventually be a draft agreement as an agreement, never meeting those with whom we should have agreed.

	Serbia Info News / Four powers want to amend "Rambouillet agreement"
		The statement however also demands a withdrawal of the Serb army, police and paramilitary forces and the creation of a political framework for Kosovo-Metohija on the basis of the "Rambouillet agreement".
		Paradoxically, it is precisely the four countries which have done everything to change the situation in the province - first in Rambouillet by insisting on the signing of an agreement that would deny equality to ethnic communities in Kosovo-Metohija, and then by bombing the province and Yugoslavia.
		This was indirectly admitted by French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine who told TF1 Sunday evening that the "Rambouillet agreement" signed by ethnic Albanians only, should be amended and completed as it did not mention the return of refugees.

	Demaci quits the KLA as Kosovars gamble on peace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		According to the agreements reached at Rambouillet last month, the three-year interim deal proposed by the west at those talks is supposed to be signed by both sides on March 15.
		As the Kosovars are by far the weakest party in the talks, however, and have already signalled their agreement to the draft proposals - which are built on Kosova being granted autonomy for a three-year interim period, with nothing agreed for what should follow - this is less likely.
		It is now amply clear, despite western suggestions that most Kosovars were eager to accept the Rambouillet agreement, that the Kosovars are being forced into a deal that does precious little to ensure either their safety or their long-term political rights.

	SIGHTINGS
		The official line in the big-business media is that the Pentagon had no choice but to rain bombs and missiles down on Yugoslavia because the Milosevic government refused to negotiate over the issue of Kosovo, a region of that country where ethnic Albanians make up the majority.
		Instead, there was the "Rambouillet Agreement." This was an ultimatum presented in France to the Yugoslav government that gave it two choices: Sign or die.
		The way in which the Yugoslav government was called upon to sign this diktat--delivered as an ultimatum--and the secretiveness regarding its content, suggest that the Rambouillet and Paris conferences were aimed at providing a pretext for war, not a political solution to the Kosovo conflict.

		Members of the Parliament of Cyprus expressed their support to the principled and constructive position that the stable political solution may be reached through dialogue with full respect of the equality of all national communities and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia and the FR of Yugoslavia.
		In diplomatic circles and among journalists in Rambouillet there has been a lot of talk about those annexes, the subject of daily disinformation, while the truth is that those annexes have not yet been seen in the chateau, nor were they on the agenda.
		According to diplomatic circles in Rambouillet, two meetings of the delegation of the Republic of Serbia with the negotiators and the delegation of the Kosmet Albanians were scheduled to be held on Wednesday.

		A political process towards the establishment of an interim political framework agreement providing for a substantial self-government for Kosovo, taking full account of the Rambouillet accords and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the other countries of the region, and the demilitarisation of the KLA.
		A military-technical agreement will then be rapidly concluded that would, among other things, specify additional modalities, including the roles and functions of Yugoslav/Serb personnel in Kosovo.

		There was no agreement on deploying NATO peacekeepers in the tense province to enforce the settlement, and the Serbs refused to give their consent to major elements of the self-rule sought by the ethnic Albanians.
		But triumph was not on the agenda at Rambouillet yesterday, only weariness and relief that the show had been kept on the road after 17 days of discussions at which the two antagonists did not once negotiate with each other directly.
		Rambouillet was supposed to have been a diplomatic sword slashing through the Gordian knot of Kosovo.

				Negotiations between the Serb and Albanian delegations at the Rambouillet meeting in France ended with Yugoslavia's rejection of the document that had been adopted, after much prodding, by the Kosovo Albanian party.
		There were two parts to the peace proposals: a political agreement on autonomy for Kosovo; and an implementation agreement on how to carry out the political deal--usually understood to require international peacekeepers in Kosovo.
		By the end of the first round of Rambouillet in February, the Serb side had agreed to the essentials of a political deal.

	NATO's War
		The Rambouillet "Accord" is entitled an "Agreement", but the term "Parties to the Agreement" means representatives of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Serbia and Kosovo.
		All three such representatives are required to sign at the conclusion of the text of the "agreement" but there is no place for a signature by a representative of NATO or of any Western country.
		Appendix B of the Rambouillet Accord — the United States/NATO "peace plan" for Kosovo — would have opened the door for NATO to occupy all of Yugoslavia.
