      The war in Georgia last year was started by a Georgian attack that was 
not justified by international law, an EU-sponsored report has concluded.
      However, the attack followed months of provocation, and both sides 
violated international law, the report said.
      Russia said the report delivered an "unequivocal answer" on the 
question of who started the conflict.
      But Georgia said the investigation proved that Russia had been 
preparing for war all along.
      The report said about 850 people were killed in the August 2008 war, 
and that more than 100,000 fled their homes, about 35,000 of whom are still 
displaced.
      It was commissioned by the Council of the European Union, and written 
by Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, with the help of 30 European military, 
legal and history experts.
      The conflict erupted on 7 August 2008, as Georgia shelled the 
breakaway region of South Ossetia, in an attempt to regain control over it. 
The previous months had seen a series of clashes.
      Russian forces quickly repelled the assault, and pushed further into 
Georgia.
      The conflict lasted for five days before a ceasefire was agreed. 
Russia pulled back, but built up its military presence in both South Ossetia 
and Abkhazia.
      'Not justifiable'
      "The shelling of Tskhinvali (the South Ossetian capital) by the 
Georgian armed forces during the night of 7 to 8 August 2008 marked the 
beginning of the large-scale armed conflict in Georgia," the report says.
      It adds later: "There is the question of whether [this] use of 
force... was justifiable under international law. It was not."
      It also says Georgia's claim that there had been a large-scale Russian 
military incursion into South Ossetia before the outbreak of war could not 
be "sufficiently substantiated", though it said there was evidence of a 
lower-level military build-up.
      The report states that while Russia's initial actions in fighting back 
against attacks on its personnel in South Ossetia were justified, its 
subsequent actions, in pushing far into Georgia proper "went far beyond the 
reasonable limits of defence" and was "in violation of international law".
      "Furthermore, continued destruction which came after the ceasefire 
agreement was not justifiable by any means."
      Given the European Union's relations with Russia have improved 
compared to a year ago, the EU may welcome the report itself, but may want 
to distance itself from the content, says the BBC Brussels correspondent 
Dominic Hughes.
      EU countries said in a statement the report was not about apportioning 
blame, but they hoped it could "contribute toward a better understanding of 
the origins and the course of last year's conflict".
      Russia has recognised South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent and 
has vowed to protect them.
      However, Georgia and the vast majority of the international community 
still views them as part of Georgia, and the report's author said Russia's 
recognition "must be considered as being not valid in the context of 
international law, and as violations of Georgia's territorial integrity and 
sovereignty."
      Aid agencies say a refugee crisis continues in the region, with the 
Russian-backed authorities in South Ossetia refusing to allow tens of 
thousands of ethnic Georgians back to their homes in the region.
      Pittosto imbarazzante. Dopo mesi di balle la BBC smentita.
      Direi ai livelli di Emilio Fede, da vergognarsi per anni.
      Ora citeremo questo esempio innumerevoli volte.
      Peccato non si citi il triste fenomeno delle fotonovelas.
      E nemmeno quello dei filmini fatti su misura.
      Magari lo stesso copione si applica per la rivoluzione dei nastrini 
verdi.
      Magari arrivera' Neda a smentire in diretta da Santoro.
      Aspettiamo commenti dal mondo Britt.

peccato che tu non abbia capito che la BBC dava semplicemente una notizia...
E poi mi pare che non ci sia stato n� un plauso generale n� un 
disconoscimento globale...insomma tutto rimane vago...


Il punto non e' questa notizia.
Il punto sono le notizie false che per mesi ha diffuso.
