In November 1996, the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD) was instructed by the Dutch Government to carry out a study of 'the events prior to, during and after the fall of Srebrenica'. For the purposes of this independent historical analytical research, the Government undertook to do everything in its power to grant the NIOD researchers access to the source material at its disposal. On 10 April 2002, this report was made public with the presentation of the first copy to the Minister of Education, Culture and Science, L.M.L.H.A. Hermans M.A., as representative of the Government.

 This report comprehends the human rights situation in 157 States worldwide and it constitutes a reference to anyone working on the field.

La thématique du « bénévolat facteur de retour à l'emploi» a été approfondie par un travail d'étude/enquête mené en commun entre Solidarités Nouvelles face au Chômage (SNC) et France Bénévolat (Gérard Bonnefon, chargé de mission).

L'investissement des demandeurs d'emploi au sein du bénévolat et du milieu associatif est en nette progression. La nécessité de se rendre utile, de ne pas perdre confiance en soi, présente un intérêt manifeste notamment après la première année de chômage. Les bonnes questions à se poser :
- Comment accueillir et intégrer des bénévoles, souvent temporaires tels que les personnes en recherche d'emploi, dans les associations,
- Comment trouver et proposer des missions correspondant à leurs attentes,
- Comment les structures d'accompagnement (ANPE, AFPA...) peuvent-elles proposer cette ouverture sans les imposer.
