This view was vindicated by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Report on Human Rights Violations in Kosovo , published in December 1999. The report showed that the level of violence fell markedly when OSCE monitors were placed in Kosovo following the Holbrooke-Milosevic agreement of September 23, 1998; and that it was only after the monitors were withdrawn on March 20, 1999, in preparation for the bombing that general and systematic violation of human rights began.
1999年12月出版的欧洲安全合作组织科索沃违反人权报告证实了我的观点。这一报告显示，在1998年9月23日赫尔布鲁克与米洛塞维奇达成协议、该组织督察员进驻科索沃之后，暴力明显下降。同时，只是在1999年3月20日为了准备轰炸撤离督察员之后大范围以及系统化的践踏人权才开始。
