"Processo" Milosevic - novita' e commenti
Nello scorso mese abbiamo registrato moltissime prese di posizione ed
articoli sul caso del processo-farsa intentato dalla NATO contro
Slobodan Milosevic. Il "Tribunale ad hoc" dell'Aia si trova al centro
di un vero e proprio ciclone, che solamente i nostri asserviti
giornalisti non riescono a vedere.
Di seguito riportiamo:
1) Una serie di LINK ad importanti articoli e commenti recenti in
lingua inglese;
2) Le ultime comunicazioni (in lingua inglese) pervenute dalla sezione
belgradese del nostro Comitato Internazionale - un nuovo appello alle
istituzioni internazionali, ed il rifiuto di due "amici curiae" ad
essere designati come "avvocati d'ufficio" per Milosevic:
- Sloboda urges UN, ICTY and Serbian authorities to stop the Hague
crime (SLOBODA, 7.8.2004)
- Tapuskovic refuses to join the Hague criminal cuisine: Hague Tribunal
in panic search of lawyer for Milosevic (Blic, 7.8.2004)

URGENT CALL TO PROTECT INTERNATIONAL LAW, NATIONS' RIGHT FOR TRUTH AND
LIFE OF PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
During the whole lasting of the Hague process against President
Slobodan Milosevic the most responsible persons of the ICTY at The
Hague have been aware, on the basis of numerous doctors' reports and of
numerous communications from our organization, from other organizations
and individuals, of the health situation of President Milosevic and of
the fact that the process itself puts his life at stake. In spite of
this awareness, the tribunal never treated President Milosevic's health
situation properly, nor ever properly considered the legitimate demands
for his release for medical treatment, recovery and preparation for his
case. By that and by the way the process has been conducted, the
tribunal only contributed to the deterioration of the health of
President Milosevic.
Together with other international and national organizations and
individuals from different countries, we were several times informing
the highest UN organs and highest organs of the Republic of Serbia and
FR Yugoslavia (now SC Serbia and Montenegro) about this situation,
requesting their action and warning them of their share in
responsibility.
In the recent weeks, the tribunal has shown the sudden interest in the
health situation of President Milosevic, trying to misuse it as an
excuse to impose him a counsel against his will and to change other
rules of the proceedings on his detriment.
These attempts of the tribunal are contrary to the International
Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, as the principal source of law
for the tribunal, to the ICTY's own Statute and to the basic principles
of the adversarial system of law and of the democratic judiciary in
general, as explained in detail in the petition of 75 distinguished
lawyers and law professors, sent these days to the UN and to the ICTY.
The proposed measures would only decisively act against the fair
character and efficiency of the process and the life and health of
President Milosevic, as declared motives for their imposition. Above
all, these measures would act against justice and make establishing the
truth impossible.
By their essence, these attempts cannot be understood otherwise, but as
an intention to silence the truth, and by that to secure impunity for
the real criminals responsible for the break-up of Yugoslavia, tragedy
of its peoples and numerous victims and huge war damages produced by
the 1999 NATO aggression against Yugoslavia. The amount of illegality
contained in the tribunal's intended decisions testifies about
someone's panic.
Its legal dimensions cannot characterize the current behavior of the
ICTY otherwise, but as a crime in progress.
We call upon the highest representatives of the UN, ICTY and Serbia and
Montenegro to act immediately to stop the crime. Refusal or avoidance
to act in this way would be a complicity in the crime. Reflecting the
opinion of the people of Serbia, the Freedom Association is determined
to use all legal means to establish the criminal responsibility of all
who are or would be involved in this crime.
The World Nations require respect of the International Law. They also
have right for truth about the tragedy in the Balkans. President
Milosevic has right to live and to represent the truth and himself.
Freedom for Slobodan Milosevic!
Belgrade, 6 August 2004
On behalf of the Freedom Association,
Bogoljub Bjelica, president /signed/

Oggetto: Tapuskovic refuses to join the Hague criminal cuisine
**************************************************************
A NOTE FROM SLOBODA/ICDSM:
The Hague tribunal has not yet given-up from its criminal intentions
towards President Milosevic. And our voice of protest and any public
voice of protest is becoming more and more unpleasant to them. They are
being caught in a criminal act.
On Friday, 6 August, two most important Belgrade dailies, "Politika"
and "Novosti" gave lot of space ("Politika" on its front page) to
interviews with Belgrade lawyer Branislav Tapuskovic (one of the Amici
Curiae during the Prosecution case), who sent a letter to the tribunal,
declaring his refusal to accept to be on the among the candidates for
an imposed counsel to President Milosevic, something which was offered
to him a day earlier in a phone call from the tribunal's Registry. In
his letter, Mr. Tapuskovic used the arguments similar to the ones
contained in the International Lawyers' Petition sent several days
earlier to the UN and to the tribunal.
Almost all other Belgrade media also reported on his decision.
But, up to now, NONE of the Western media reported a word on that!
We again call upon all lawyers, law professors and professional jurists
to join the Lawyers Petition. The days in front of us are decisive for
the protection of International Law and for the struggle for truth
about Serbian people.
The Lawyers Petition can be read at:
http://www.icdsm.org/Lawappeal.htm
Instead of excellent articles from "Politika" and "Novosti", which we
have only in Serbian, we offer you bellow the one on the same issue
which appeared in the English Internet edition of the Belgrade
newspaper "Blic".
================================================Hague Tribunal in panic
search of lawyer for Milosevic
================================================Blic Online, 7 August
2004
Belgrade lawyers Zdenko Tomanovic and Branislav Tapuskovic refused
proposal by the Hague Tribunal to defend Slobodan Milosevic as per
official service duty.
Due to further deterioration of Milosevic's health and impossibility of
appointing his defender, beginning of Milosevic's defense scheduled for
August 31 could be postponed again.
Lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic did not want to comment for 'Blic' information
that he had refused offer by that Hague Tribunal to him to defend
Milosevic.
Lawyer Branislav Tapuskovic who was engaged by the Hague tribunal as
'friend of the court' says that Milosevic has granted right to defend
himself personally regardless of his health condition.
'My acceptance of the tribunal's offer would violence Milosevic's
right. If Milosevic is unable to be in the courtroom, my opinion is
that the court trial cannot be continued', Tapuskovic says.
Cardiologists say that Milosevic needs to rest because of high blood
pressure and heart problems. Milosevic was of the opinion that
continuation of the court trial should have been postponed for one
month at least.
Aleksandra Milenov of Belgrade office of the Hague tribunal says for
'Blic' that judges are considering possibility of giving so-called
'stand-by' defender who would follow the court process and undertake
the matter when Milosevic is unable to carry out his own defense.
'When his health improves, Milosevic would again question the witnesses
by himself. The second possibility is division of the indictment into
two or three parts in which case the court process would develop in
series. I do not know when the judges will decide on that since at the
moment Tribunal's officials are on holiday', Aleksandra Milenov said.

URGENT CALL TO PROTECT INTERNATIONAL LAW, NATIONS' RIGHT FOR TRUTH AND
LIFE OF PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
During the whole lasting of the Hague process against President
Slobodan Milosevic the most responsible persons of the ICTY at The
Hague have been aware, on the basis of numerous doctors' reports and of
numerous communications from our organization, from other organizations
and individuals, of the health situation of President Milosevic and of
the fact that the process itself puts his life at stake. In spite of
this awareness, the tribunal never treated President Milosevic's health
situation properly, nor ever properly considered the legitimate demands
for his release for medical treatment, recovery and preparation for his
case. By that and by the way the process has been conducted, the
tribunal only contributed to the deterioration of the health of
President Milosevic.
Together with other international and national organizations and
individuals from different countries, we were several times informing
the highest UN organs and highest organs of the Republic of Serbia and
FR Yugoslavia (now SC Serbia and Montenegro) about this situation,
requesting their action and warning them of their share in
responsibility.
In the recent weeks, the tribunal has shown the sudden interest in the
health situation of President Milosevic, trying to misuse it as an
excuse to impose him a counsel against his will and to change other
rules of the proceedings on his detriment.
These attempts of the tribunal are contrary to the International
Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, as the principal source of law
for the tribunal, to the ICTY's own Statute and to the basic principles
of the adversarial system of law and of the democratic judiciary in
general, as explained in detail in the petition of 75 distinguished
lawyers and law professors, sent these days to the UN and to the ICTY.
The proposed measures would only decisively act against the fair
character and efficiency of the process and the life and health of
President Milosevic, as declared motives for their imposition. Above
all, these measures would act against justice and make establishing the
truth impossible.
By their essence, these attempts cannot be understood otherwise, but as
an intention to silence the truth, and by that to secure impunity for
the real criminals responsible for the break-up of Yugoslavia, tragedy
of its peoples and numerous victims and huge war damages produced by
the 1999 NATO aggression against Yugoslavia. The amount of illegality
contained in the tribunal's intended decisions testifies about
someone's panic.
Its legal dimensions cannot characterize the current behavior of the
ICTY otherwise, but as a crime in progress.
We call upon the highest representatives of the UN, ICTY and Serbia and
Montenegro to act immediately to stop the crime. Refusal or avoidance
to act in this way would be a complicity in the crime. Reflecting the
opinion of the people of Serbia, the Freedom Association is determined
to use all legal means to establish the criminal responsibility of all
who are or would be involved in this crime.
The World Nations require respect of the International Law. They also
have right for truth about the tragedy in the Balkans. President
Milosevic has right to live and to represent the truth and himself.
Freedom for Slobodan Milosevic!
Belgrade, 6 August 2004
On behalf of the Freedom Association,
Bogoljub Bjelica, president /signed/

Oggetto: Tapuskovic refuses to join the Hague criminal cuisine
**************************************************************
A NOTE FROM SLOBODA/ICDSM:
The Hague tribunal has not yet given-up from its criminal intentions
towards President Milosevic. And our voice of protest and any public
voice of protest is becoming more and more unpleasant to them. They are
being caught in a criminal act.
On Friday, 6 August, two most important Belgrade dailies, "Politika"
and "Novosti" gave lot of space ("Politika" on its front page) to
interviews with Belgrade lawyer Branislav Tapuskovic (one of the Amici
Curiae during the Prosecution case), who sent a letter to the tribunal,
declaring his refusal to accept to be on the among the candidates for
an imposed counsel to President Milosevic, something which was offered
to him a day earlier in a phone call from the tribunal's Registry. In
his letter, Mr. Tapuskovic used the arguments similar to the ones
contained in the International Lawyers' Petition sent several days
earlier to the UN and to the tribunal.
Almost all other Belgrade media also reported on his decision.
But, up to now, NONE of the Western media reported a word on that!
We again call upon all lawyers, law professors and professional jurists
to join the Lawyers Petition. The days in front of us are decisive for
the protection of International Law and for the struggle for truth
about Serbian people.
The Lawyers Petition can be read at:
http://www.icdsm.org/Lawappeal.htm
Instead of excellent articles from "Politika" and "Novosti", which we
have only in Serbian, we offer you bellow the one on the same issue
which appeared in the English Internet edition of the Belgrade
newspaper "Blic".
================================================Hague Tribunal in panic
search of lawyer for Milosevic
================================================Blic Online, 7 August
2004
Belgrade lawyers Zdenko Tomanovic and Branislav Tapuskovic refused
proposal by the Hague Tribunal to defend Slobodan Milosevic as per
official service duty.
Due to further deterioration of Milosevic's health and impossibility of
appointing his defender, beginning of Milosevic's defense scheduled for
August 31 could be postponed again.
Lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic did not want to comment for 'Blic' information
that he had refused offer by that Hague Tribunal to him to defend
Milosevic.
Lawyer Branislav Tapuskovic who was engaged by the Hague tribunal as
'friend of the court' says that Milosevic has granted right to defend
himself personally regardless of his health condition.
'My acceptance of the tribunal's offer would violence Milosevic's
right. If Milosevic is unable to be in the courtroom, my opinion is
that the court trial cannot be continued', Tapuskovic says.
Cardiologists say that Milosevic needs to rest because of high blood
pressure and heart problems. Milosevic was of the opinion that
continuation of the court trial should have been postponed for one
month at least.
Aleksandra Milenov of Belgrade office of the Hague tribunal says for
'Blic' that judges are considering possibility of giving so-called
'stand-by' defender who would follow the court process and undertake
the matter when Milosevic is unable to carry out his own defense.
'When his health improves, Milosevic would again question the witnesses
by himself. The second possibility is division of the indictment into
two or three parts in which case the court process would develop in
series. I do not know when the judges will decide on that since at the
moment Tribunal's officials are on holiday', Aleksandra Milenov said.
