History

Historical Context

On 24 March 1999 NATO launched Operation Allied Force, bombing Yugoslavia for 78 days until 10 June, flying over 38,000 combat missions and forcing Serbian forces out of Kosovo. The campaign, undertaken without UN Security Council approval, was presented as a humanitarian response to ethnic cleansing. Its legacy shapes current debates over civilian protection in conflicts such as the 2026 Ukraine-Russia war.
