Final report of the Independent Working Group on 'a future security agenda for Europe'1 SIPRI2 Findings of the Independent Working Group a) The most serious threats to security in Europe after the cold war no longer arise from conflicts between states but from conflicts within states. Therefore, a fundamental change of security principles and procedures is needed. b) The new principle of solidarity should be recognized as an integral part of the set of rules governing security relations among the European states. The international community should have the right to 'cooperative intervention' in order to protect populations subjected to large-scale violence in domestic conflicts. c) The right to self-determination cannot be reduced to the right to seces- sion. There is a need to define domestic rules for implementation of the principle of the self-determination of nations. d) The foundation of a new security system should be mutual reassurance rather than mutual deterrence, as was the case in the past. This will require sovereign states to cooperate on decisions about national security. e) Security institutions should follow the problems, and not the other way around. No single organization can handle all the security problems; nor is there a hierarchy
