Environmental Conference on Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam - Report
Nordic News Network, Stockholm, Sweden
Self-description: "[The Conference gathered] over sixty experts in the natural and social sciences, public health and related fields [...] in Stockholm during 26-28 July 2002. Its purpose was to review the long-term consequences of a calamity which is generally referred to as the Vietnam War, but which also afflicted Laos and Cambodia. (The original title, Vietnam Environmental Conference, has been expanded to reflect the involvement of all three countries.) To analyze the long-term consequence of the war and related issues, subcommittees were established for each of the following main areas: * ecosystems; * public health; * economic and social impacts; * ethical, legal and policy issues. The final reports of the subcommittees are to be published [in PDF format - ed.] on this web site."
[The 'Ecocystems' report is now available online. Other reports are forthcoming - ed.]
