COSA E' L'"INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP"?
Una delle piu' citate fonti di (dis)informazione sulla crisi nei Balcani
e fino all'Asia Centrale (vadasi ad es. la campagna sulla Cecenia,
ripresa in modo becero da "Il Manifesto" del 26/2/2000) e'
L'International Crisis Group (ICG). In passato abbiamo fatto gia' notare
come questa organizzazione "per la promozione dei diritti umani" in
tutti i paesi che intralciano i piani egemonici del Pentagono non sia
altro che una emanazione diretta del Dipartimento di Stato e di una
serie di Fondazioni USA che fortemente influenzano la politica estera
statunitense.
Riportiamo di seguito un po' di documentazione a riguardo. In alcuni
messaggi successivi tratteremo invece della disinformazione che l'ICG
sta attualmente facendo in merito ai problemi delle miniere del Kosmet.

The International Crisis Group (ICG) is a private, multinational
organisation committed to strengthening the capacity of the
international
community to understand and respond to impending crises.
ICG's approach is grounded in field research. Teams of political
analysts
based on the ground in countries at risk of crisis, gather information
from
a wide range of sources, assess local conditions and produce regular
analytical reports containing practical recommendations targeted at key
international decision-takers.
The next step is advocacy. ICG reports are distributed widely to
officials
in foreign ministries and international organisations and made available
to
the general public via the organisation's internet site, located at
www.crisisweb.org. The organisation works closely with governments and
the
press to highlight key issues identified in the field and to stimulate
discussion of potential policy responses. The ICG Board - which includes
prominent figures from the fields of politics, diplomacy, business and
the
media - is also involved in helping to bring ICG reports and
recommendations
to the attention of senior policy-makers around the world. The ICG Board
is
chaired by former US Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, who
recently
brokered the "Good Friday" Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland.
ICG is headquartered in Brussels with a U.S. branch in Washington DC.
The
organisation currently operates field projects in seven countries world
wide: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, the Federal Republic
of
Yugoslavia, Algeria, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
ICG raises funds from the European Union, governments, charitable
foundations, companies and individual donors. The following governments
currently have funding agreements with ICG: Austria, Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway,
the
Republic of China (Taiwan), Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
Private sector donors include the Blaustein Foundation, the Fares
Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation,
the
Open Society Institute, the Smith Richardson Foundation and the U.S.
Institute of Peace.
