MOCK NATO: 1997 MADRID SUMMIT - RESPONSE TO YUGOSLAV WARS
About this Committee
Ever since its inception in 1949, NATO has been at the forefront of keeping peace in Europe. It served as a bulwark against the spread of communism in Europe, and a deterrence to further Soviet Aggression. However after the fall of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, NATO has begun to have a shift in identity, from a purely defensive alliance to an organization with global reach. Now it’s 1999 and the ceasefire that NATO brokered between the KLA and Yugoslav forces has collapsed. As the fighting intensifies, it is becoming very obvious that the Yugoslav forces might attempt to do what they did in Bosnia only a few years ago. You are tasked with seeing NATO through this transition period, with war and possibly genocide on its doorstep, should NATO intervene?
