STENOGRAM
sa pojavljivanja predsednika Slobodana Milosevica
pred "Haskim tribunalom", 30. avgusta 2001. godine
u Hagu
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, postoje li kakva pitanja koja biste vi zeleli
izneti u vezi sa vasim slucajem ili u vezi sa vasim psihickim i
fizickim stanjem? Vi ste upoznati sa pravilnikom koji ne dopusta
nikakve govore u ovom trenutku. Vi cete imati priliku za to,
odnosno priliku da se branite kada za to dodje vreme, no, ukoliko
postoje neka pitanja koja zelite izneti u vezi sa vasim slucajem,
prilika je da to ucinite.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Kao prvo, zeleo bih da znam da li cu moci da govorim ili cete
iskljuciti mikrofon kao sto ste to ucinili poslednji put?
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, ukoliko budete postovali pravila imacete
mogucnosti da govorite, ako se budete drzali relevantnih pitanja
imacete mogucnosti da govorite.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Da, to bi bilo moje sledece pitanje. Ja bih hteo da kazem da je to
ilegalan sud.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Vi ste vec izneli prigovor po tom pitanju. Da li vi sada trazite da
vam se odobri mogucnost da se Vecu obratite usmeno u vezi s tim
pitanjem?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Za usmeno izlaganje trebace mi 40 minuta. Posto mi to ne
dozvoljavate, ja cu to izneti u pisanom obliku. Moji saradnici ce to
izneti u stampi ukoliko vi meni ne dozvolite da to javno sada
iznesem.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Ukoliko vi to ucinite u pisanom obliku to ce biti objavljeno kada za
to dodje vreme. Ako vec sada to imate napisano onda ce biti
daleko prikladnije da se to obradi na taj nacin.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Da, u redu! Ali potrebno je da razgovaramo kao civilizovane
osobe. Ne na nacin da mi iskljucujete mikrofone, ili da se koristi
bilo kakva sila. Potrebno je da se razumemo kada je rec o tome sta
je moguce, a sto nije. Dakle, kad ne dopustate usmeno, ja cu to
predati vama u pisanom obliku.
SUDIJA MEJ:
U redu.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Ako dozvolite, jos bih komentarisao ono sto sam sada upravo cuo.
Cuo sam, naime, nesto vrlo zanimljivo, sto dokazuje ono sto su
vec rekli pre 3. jula u ovoj istoj prostoriji. Naime, da se radi o
jednoj laznoj optuznici. Ja sam optuzen 26. maja, 60-tog dana
NATO-ve agresije protiv Jugoslavije, dok sam ja branio svoju
zemlju. Dakle, dve i po godine su protekle od tog datuma, i mi smo
upravo sada culi da oni koji tuze nemaju dokaze, da oni ne mogu
dovrsiti svoju optuznicu. Dve i po godine je vrlo dugo vreme cak i
za kompletiranje jedne lazne optuznice, a ono sto smo mi upravo
culi je dokaz za to. Naravno, uzimajuci u obzir cinjenicu da ja ne
priznajem ovaj tribunal i da imam vrlo jasno misljenje koje
dokazuju pravne cinjenice, misljenje, naime, da je ovaj tribunal
nelegalan, ja ne vidim zasto bih se ja sada branio pred laznim
sudom na temelju jedne lazne optuznice. Dakle, to je jos jedno
objasnjenje koje sam zeleo da iznesem.
Ako mi dozvolite ja bih sada vama postavio neka pitanja koja se
ticu mojeg polozaja u jednom protivpravnom pritvoru.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Ne mozete postavljati pitanja. No, ukoliko zelite izneti nesto u
vezi sa tim, vi to mozete uciniti.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Po nalogu ove nelegalne institucije, ja sam u potpunoj izolaciji.
Moje pitanje s tim u vezi je zasto sam ja izolovan od svoje
porodice, zasto me moja porodica ne moze posetiti na isti nacin
kako to cine porodice drugih koji imaju tu mogucnost? Zasto se
prate posete moje porodice, zasto prisluskujete razgovore koje ja
vodim cak i sa mojim unukom koji je star samo dve i po godine?!
Zasto? Zasto cinite sve to? Zasto na tako grub nacin krsite moja
prava? Zasto sam izolovan od osoba koje bi zelele da me posete i
sa kojima imam potrebu da razgovaram, s kojima zelim da
razgovaram o raznoraznim pravnim aspektima mog polozaja u
ovom ilegalnom pritvoru.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Da zastanemo na trenutak. Pravila koja se ticu pritvora potpadaju
pod nadleznost sekretara Medjunarodnog suda. Ukoliko se
primenjuju na vas na nacin razlicit od drugih pritvorenika, mi cemo
se o tome raspitati. Samo trenutak.
Poteskoca koja se vezuje za advokate je sledeca. Vi, naime, jos
uvek niste odabrali odnosno imenovali advokata. A, pravila
dozvoljavaju samo posete od strane imenovanih advokata. Ja sada
zelim znati da li je vas stav da se vi zelite braniti sami, da ne
zelite da vam se imenuje advokat, ali zelite imati pristup pravnim
savetnicima. Da li bi to bio adekvatan rezime vaseg stava?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Jasno je da ja imam pravo na kontakt sa razlicitim strucnjacima u
vezi sa razlicitim aspektima mog polozaja u protivpravnom
pritvoru. Osim toga, ja imam pravo kontakta sa advokatima koji se
bave mojim privatnim stvarima u Jugoslaviji. Isto tako imam pravo
na kontakt sa advokatima koji su angazovani u nekim
medjunarodnim organizacijama koje me podrzavaju. Ja imam pravo
na komuniciranje s tim ljudima, ne razumem kako to moze da se
primenjuje na diskriminatoran nacin. Koliko ja shvatam, pravni
sistem se zasniva na nepostojanju bilo kakve diskriminacije, a ja
sam diskriminisan od prvog dana od kada sam ovde.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Problem, gospodine Milosevicu, lezi u cinjenici da vi niste
imenovali advokata. Nase osoblje mora postovati pravila. Osoba
koja ima pravo na pravne posete je vas imenovani advokat. Ali vi
ste izneli dve stvari u vezi s kojima zelite primiti savet. Dakle, vi
zelite savet u vezi sa vasim polozajem ovde u ovom postupku, isto
tako, kada je rec o vasim stvarima, o vasim poslovima u
Jugoslaviji. Je li tako?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Naravno, to je tako. I ja imam jos na umu citav niz drugih stvari u
vezi s kojima zelim da razgovaram sa osobama koje zele da me
posete i koje zele da sa mnom kontaktiraju.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Na prvom Vecu cu se o tome raspitati I obavestiti vas. I to cemo
uzeti u obzir.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Trece pitanje je zasto sam ja izolovan od stampe?! Zasto mi se ne
dozvoljava nikakav kontakt? Vi me drzite u izolaciji, ja nemam
pravo na bilo kakav kontakt sa medijima. Cak ni telefonom koji mi
je za sada jedini na raspolaganju. Ovde su neki predstavnici
stampe i medija koji bi zeleli da znaju istinu. Ja mislim da niko ne
treba da se boji istine. S jedne strane, postoji citava ta masinerija
koju vi predstavljate, sve te tajne sluzbe, vojne organizacije, na
mojoj strani je jedino - istina. Ukoliko vi mene izolujete, ukoliko
mi onemogucavate kontakt sa stampom, onda je jasno da se ovde
radi o diskriminaciji. Vi cak ne mozete, na bilo koji nacin, da
nekoga uverite, da pravilno postupate u vezi sa postupkom koji
imate na umu.
I jos da vas podsetim, ja ne priznajem ovaj Medjunarodni tribunal,
smatram ga potpuno protivpravnim i nelegalnim. Sva ta pitanja
koja se ticu advokata i pravnog zastupanja su sasvim izlisna. Ja
sam video u stampi.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, moramo ovde uneti reda. Samo trenutak.
Prvo, ono sto ste pokrenuli. Pitanje koje ste pokrenuli. Prema
pravilima pritvorske jedinice, ne postiji nikakav kontakt sa
medijima. Ta pravila se ne ticu samo vas. Ne radi se ni o kakvoj
diskriminaciji. Ta se pravila primenjuju na sve optuzenike koji su u
pritvoru. Sto se tice cinjenice da vi ne priznajete Medjunarodni
tribunal, mi smo to culi, i nema nikakve potrebe da se to ponavlja.
Postoji li jos nesto sto zelite izneti?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Koliko sam ja shvatio, oni se bave tim pitanjem protivzakonitosti
suda, nelegalnosti, dakle, to je pitanje nadleznosti. Svakom
advokatu na ovom svetu je jasno da se pitanje nadleznosti moze
pokrenuti pred svakom pravnom institucijom. Medjutim, vi niste
pravna institucija, vi ste politicko sredstvo.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, mi necemo sada slusati ove politicke
argumente. Vi mozete da podnesete podnesak o nadleznosti, mi
cemo taj podnesak i razmotriti. Mi cemo podnesak razmotriti.
U redu, rasprava je zavrsena. A nastavicemo u ponedeljak 29.
oktobra.
Molimo ustanite.

What follows is the statement that president Milosevic was
not allowed to read when he appeared, August 30, before the
"tribunal" in the Hague.
STATEMENT
OF PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
ON THE ILLEGITIMACY OF THE HAGUE
"TRIBUNAL"
There are three fatal legal flaws in the so called International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Each has disastrous
consequences for the human quest for peace, the rule of law,
democracy, truth and justice.
1. THE CHARTER OF THE UNITED
NATIONS DOES NOT EMPOWER THE
SECURITY COUNCIL TO CREATE A
CRIMINAL COURT
The U.N. Security Council has seized power it does not possess,
corrupting the Charter of the United Nations, placing itself above
the law and threatening "We Peoples of the United Nations" with
a lawless future in which a superpower employs the scourge of
war to have its way. Nothing in the history of the planning,
drafting, discussion, approval or ratifications of the U.N. Charter
implies, or is consistent with an intention to empower any body
created by, or under, the Charter to establish any criminal tribunal.
The words of the Charter and their textual inferences, the
structure and allocation of power and duties, including those in the
incorporated Statute for the International Court of Justice, all
negate the existence of any capacity under the Charter to ordain
criminal courts. The Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia is
illegitimate and its creation a corruption of the United Nations.
There would never have been a United Nations if its Charter
stated, or implied, that a criminal court could be created under its
authority. No one who believes in historical truth, or that words
have meaning can, after examining the history of its creation and
its text, contend that the Charter of the United Nations empowers
the Security Council to create a criminal court.
An International Criminal Court Can Be Created
Only By A Multinational Treaty, Or
Amendment To The Charter Of The United Nations
The national representatives ho have served on the Security
Council and in the General Assembly and the scholars, lawyers
and experts who have labored for more than thirty years to bring
into being an international criminal court have recognized that the
only lawful and binding way such a court can be created is by an
agreement among nations through a treaty agreed upon for that
purpose, or by amending the Charter of the United Nations under
its strict provisions regulating amendments to authorize, or
establish a court.
When an International Criminal Court was finally agreed upon in
July 1998 by 120 nations meeting in Rome, it was by treaty which
had been studied, drafted and debated for years. The United
States, the most powerful participant in that long process,
consistently sought to weaken the treaty to exempt U.S. leaders
and military personnel from prosecution before it. Having failed
the U.S. was then the most prominent and powerful of the handful
of nations that refused to sign. As of August 1, 2001 37 nations,
the Netherlands the most recent, had ratified the treaty.
The United States is vigorously trying to persuade, coerce, or
bribe nations not to ratify.
Creation Of The International Criminal Tribunal
For The Former Yugoslavia Was A Lawless Act Of
Political Expediency By The United States Designed
To Demonize And Destroy An Enemy And Frustrate
Creation Of A Legitimate International Criminal Tribunal
At the insistence of the U.S. the Security Council nearly fifty
years after it came into being forged a new and powerful weapon
capable of demonizing a nation and its people and depriving
individuals of their liberty for the rest of their lives and placed it
largely in the hands of the United States. The principal precedents
for such pseudo judicial actions over several millennia preceding
the creation of the U.N. are trials of leaders and soldiers of
vanquished populations by the victors in war, and courts used by
colonial powers to control and punish subjugated peoples. The
precedents are many and the violence and cruelty and hatred they
usually exposed and caused was extreme.
Unless It is Limited By The U.N. Charter And
International Law, The Security Council Can Do
Whatever It Chooses To Do
If it is not restrained by the United Nations Charter, the Security
Council can commit any act it desires disregarding all law. Early
proponents of United States world power claimed such unbridled
discretion for the Security Council publicly. Thus in 1950 John
Foster Dullas wrote:
"The Security Council is not a body that
merely enforces agreed law. It is a law unto
itself... No principles of law are laid down
to guide it, it can decide in accordance with
what it thinks is expedient."
If unchallenged, this concept of Security Council power means
that the most powerful international organ created by the Charter
of the United Nations "to end the scourge of war" is above all law,
domestic and international.
But absolute discretion is the very definition of lawlessness and
has been called "more destructive of freedom than any other of
man's inventions," by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas. All rights of all nations, races, religions, cultures,
political parties and individuals are thereby subordinated to the
will of the Security Council, and the single superpower that too
often will dominate it. All but fifteen nations are excluded from
Security Council counsels. Each of the five permanent members
can veto its actions.
The Security Council is subject to domination by a single nation.
The representative of each member votes as instructed by the
national government that appoints him and to serve the interests
of that government, not as an international statesman serving all
peoples and the purposes for which the U.N. was created. The
Security Council is inaccessible, anonymous and less responsive
to democratic processes than any other international political
institution.
2. A ONE TIME, ONE EPISODE COURT
TARGETING ONE COUNTRY, CREATED
BY INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL POWER
TO SERVE ITS GEO-POLITICAL
INTERESTS IS INCAPABLE OF EQUALITY
AND CONDUCTIVE OF DIVISION AND
VIOLENCE
The illegitimate Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia corrupts
justice and law because it is incapable of acting equally among
nations, or within the politically targeted nation. It will increase
violence, division and the risk of war with neighboring nations and
peoples and within Yugoslavia among the segments of the society
the U.S. policy of balkanization of Former Yugoslavia has set
against each other and against the new government the U.S. has
installed for its own purposes. If the United Nations Charter had
authorized the Security Council to create criminal courts, it could
not create a court for one nation, or episode for political purposes,
to persecute selected groups, or persons and such a court is
incapable of equal justice under law. An ad hoc court violates the
most basic principles of all law. Equality is the mother of justice.
An international court established to prosecute acts in a single
nation and primarily, if not entirely, one limited group is pre
programmed to persecute incapable of equality.
If the Security Council can create a criminal court to prosecute
conduct in a single country like Yugoslavia, it can appoint a court
for any country, selecting enemies or political and economic
opportunities for targeting one at a time, while never exposing
itself, or those who comply with its wishes to such selective
prosecution. If the U.S., or any ally or client state it chose to
protect was the subject of a serious effort by the Security Council
to be honored with a criminal tribunal in its own name, the U.S.
would veto the threatened action.
A Court created only for crimes in one country is by definition
discriminatory, incapable of equal justice, a weapon against
chosen enemies, or antagonistic interests and war by other
means. If there is to be any international criminal court, it must
act equally as to all nations with none above the law. The ad hoc
tribunal for a single nation corrupts international law.
By its very nature, the ad hoc Tribunal can be created only after
the conduct the Security Council decides justifies creation of the
Court since there is no other excuse for its creation. It is in every
case ex post facto. This violates an ancient principle of law. It
also requires the Security Council, if there is to be a rational basis
for its action, to make some preliminary claim to finding of facts, a
task such a political body is not designed for, that inherently
incriminates a country, or faction by placing the imprimatur of the
Security Council of the United Nations on a political decision of
fact necessary to justify creation of the Tribunal. The very charge
of the Security Council - genocide, crimes against peace, war
crimes, or crimes against humanity demonized any person
thereafter accused.
The Selection Of A Nation For Prosecution
On Political Findings Of Genocide, War Crimes
And Crimes Against Humanity Creates
A Compulsion to Convict.
Investigators, prosecutors and administrative personnel who join
a temporary Tribunal to pursue allegations of humanities greatest
crimes against a people and leaders already demonized will feel
they have failed if there are not convictions. The very psychology
of the enterprise is persecutorial. Few judges appointed to serve
on a Tribunal created under such circumstances will feel free to
acquit any but the most marginal, or clearly mistaken, accused, or
to create an appearance of objectivity.
Powers That Create Ad Hoc International Criminal
Tribunals Divert Attention From Their Own
Offenses, Or Failures, Or Those Of Allies And
Their Political Surrogates While Continuing
To Inflect And Threaten Mass Destruction With Impunity.
The ad hoc Tribunal which targets a country is incapable of
prosecuting what may be greater crimes committed in the same
conflict, by a power, coalition ally or political agents that was and
remains a much greater source of violence and threat to peace.
Most often the power which forced the creation of the target
tribunal to further damage and demonize their enemy is shielded
from criticism by the avalanche of propaganda against the
accused supported by the appearance of United Nations neutrality
and peace making efforts.
What court will consider the criminality of aerial bombardment by
U.S. aircraft of defenseless civilians, their housing, water
systems, power plants, factories, office buildings, schools,
hospitals, which take thousands of lives directly and causes
billions of dollars of property damages in Belgrade, Nis, Novi Sad
and scores of other cities, towns and villages? What threat to
peace continues from the U.S. bombing of the Chinese Embassy?
Who will be held accountable for the devastation of Pristina by
NATO planes, or the attacks on refugee columns in Kosovo and
Metohia? Is the U.S. use of cluster bombs exploding razor sharp
metal fragments over an area as large as a soccer field in the
courtyard at the hospital in Nis no crime? Will the Security
Council act to prevent and punish the use of depleted uranium by
the U.S. which is as indiscriminate in its radiation as the air, the
water, the soil and food hain it touches and contaminates for
millions of years?
International law accepts bombing of defenseless civilian
populations by a militarily advanced technology that can destroy a
country without even setting foot on its soil because supper
power controls international prosecutions and determines
violations. The dominant element in modern military power is
mass destruction. Victors are nations with the greatest capacity
for mass destruction. This places civilian populations at maximum
peril infrastructure supporting civilian life, buildings, water, power,
transportation, communication, food production, storage and
distribution, health care, schools, churches, mosques,
synagogues, foreign embassies were the direct object of U.S.
aerial and missile attacks. Several thousands of civilians were
killed directly and many more indirectly. The U.S. claims it had
159 casualties, a third from friendly fire, none from combat.
In 1998, the U.S. directed 21 Tomahawk Cruise missiles from
international waters to destroy the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant
in Khartoum, Sudan which provided more than half the medicines
available for a people who are very poor and have been unable to
replace that supply. The U.S. continues to support insurrection in
the South of Sudan and threaten Sudan with prosecution in an ad
hoc international criminal tribunal.
NATO does not claim it prevented violence within Kosovo and
Metohia among the Serbian, ethnic Albanian and other peoples. In
fact, NATO accelerated that violence. It bombed Serbia for 79
days targeting civilians and citizens destroying billions of dollars
worth of civilian facilities, using illegal weapons including cluster
bombs, destroying the civilian Serbian TV and radio buildings. It
bombed Kosovo and Metohia heaviest of all, destroying most of
Pristina, killing thousands of Albanians, Muslims, Serbs, Romany,
Turks and others, and causing hundreds of thousands of people to
flee from Kosovo and Metohia. Damage to the Yugoslavia military
was negligible. In the summer of 2001 the U.S. continues to use
cluster bombs in northern and southern Iraq which it attacks on
most days.
And in 1999 when the U.S. and NATO countries came into
Kosovo and Metohia, as a "security force", they refused to
intervene on the ground to protect people who were endangered in
the province.
There will be no remedy or relief for Serbian victims of atrocities,
some 500.000 purged by Croatia with the approval, if not on
instructions of the U.S., forever from their homes in Krajina, the
more than 330.000 permanently purged from Kosovo and Metohia
since the cease fire in 1999, or for the thousands of Serbs,
Romany and others killed by the U.S. and NATO bombing
assaults, or by the U.S.-supported terrorist organization, the so
called KLA, before, during and after the assaults. The
Macedonians killed, injured and driven from their homes by U.S.
condoned if not instigated KLA aggressions which threaten civil
war in Macedonia and general war in the Balkans will not lead the
Security Council to create a Court to prosecute the perpetrators.
Major Powers Are Not Accountable For Their
Actions Which Cause War, Insurrection
And Violence Within Targeted Countries.
There will be no accountability by the U.S., Germany and other
nations whose acts and pressures forced the break-up of
Yugoslavia, stripping Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia and
attempted stripping of parts of Serbia like Kosovo and Metohia.
The U.S. and several European nations have balkanized the region
in the most artificial and forced apartheid the Balkans, or any
other part of the world has ever known. Their acts have made
peace, stability and prosperity impossible. Economic viability of
small fragmented parts depends on foreign economic interests
intended to dominate and exploit the region. The new apartheid
leads to U.S. planned conflicts between the western Catholic
Croatians and the eastern Orthodox Serbs, creating conflict and a
wall between western and eastern Europe. More dangerous, it
sets the stage for violence, encouraging international conflicts
between Slavic peoples and Muslims to decimate and debilitate
the obstacles to the U.S. world order. Kosovo and Metohia, as a
part of Serbia, and Macedonia are current examples in a long list
of tragic and avoidable violence between Muslims and Slavs,
which has occurred to different extents in Afghanistan, Dagestan,
Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan and Bosnia.
A Federal Republic Of Balkan States Long
Set Against Each Other By Foreign Powers
Was Formed To Established Peace, Cooperation
And Prosperity.
The idea of Yugoslavia, a Balkan federation to heal divisions and
provide a better chance for living together in peace and prosperity,
was seen as important in the years after World War I as a means
to peace. While the idea floundered between the two worst wars
in history, it worked with remarkable success after World War II
in which it was ravaged, but unconquered. An independent and
unified Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was a long term
successful solution for south Slavic peoples. It was a bulwark of
the Non Aligned Movement. With the collapse of the Soviet and
Eastern bloc economy it was the remaining socialist government
threatening capitalist control of Europe. With its mixed market
economy it offered an example to former Eastern bloc countries
for revival of their economic and political independence. With a
successful, functioning Federal Republic of Yugoslavia there was
living proof history had not ended, that more than one economic
system was possible.
After the collapse of the Eastern bloc economy a greater Balkan
federation a south eastern European Union was seen by many in
the region as the means to prevent economic exploitation, avoid
violence and develop a strong and independent political, social and
economic region.
Foreign capital and the geopolitical interests of the U.S.
considered this a dangerous obstacle to their plans for the new
world order, globalization, new colonialism.
The United States Having Demonized
Yugoslavia Attacks It With Impunity
And Persecutes Its Leadership.
The U.S. mercilessly bombed Yugoslavia for 79 day. It tried to
assassinate me by bombing my home, offices and other places,
where it believed I might be. It attempted to kill Libya's head of
State Muammar Qaddafi in its 1986 raid on Tripoli and Iraqi
president Saddam Hussein on numerous occasions beginning in
1991, including its 1993 cruise missile attack on the Al Rashid in
Baghdad at a time it believed he would be there meeting
international Islamic leaders.
Through economic sanctions, the most extreme and overt form of
forced impoverishment and economic assault, the U.S. has
coerced the Security Council into complicity in the longest
deadliest and cruelest genocide of the last decade, the sanctions
against its enemy Iraq which have killed at least 2 million people,
the majority children. The United States has forced economic
sanctions against Yugoslavia, severely damaging its civilian
economy and eroding its will to independence.
Can a criminal tribunal for Yugoslavia which ignores pervasive
violence by the U.S. and diverts public awareness from United
States conduct and legitimatizes by silent acceptance aerial and
missile assaults on civilians and illegal weapons use against one
country after another, making its repetition expected before it
occurs, contribute to the hope for the rule of law, justice or peace?
The United States, itself, immune from control, or prosecution and
above the law, uses its power to cause the persecution of
enemies it selects to terrorize and further demonize. It
manufactures and sells arms to chosen nations, to groups seeking
to overthrow governments it opposes, uses illegal weapons
against defenseless people with impunity, continues to
consolidate and expand its near monopoly of nuclear weapons and
sophisticated rocketry, spends trillion on unilateral protection
from Star Wars assuring a continued arms race while poverty
overwhelms billions, hunger cripples millions, starvation takes
hundreds of thousands of lives and AIDS spreads among poor
nations.
It cripples international environmental protection, undermines
control of nuclear weapons by threatening to withdraw from long
standing protections of the ABM and Non Proliferation treaties. It
refuses to ratify treaties to protect life from land mines which it
continues to manufacture, sell and deploy. It threatens to
undermine a treaty controlling biological and chemical warfare.
And the United States regularly engages in covert operations and
violent military interventions in other nations in violation of their
sovereignty and law.
The so called ICTY is not just another arrow in the arsenal of the
United States with which it persecutes and demonizes enemies
and corrupts international law. The ICTY celebrates inequality in
the rule of law using criminal sanctions to destroy selected
leaders and governments.
It is poisonous arrow destructive of the foundations of peace
among independent nations of equal rights and dignity.
3. THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
TRIBUNAL FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IS
INCAPABLE OF PROTECTING
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, OR PROVIDING
DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
Such an ad hoc Tribunal has a temporary and limited purpose
without helpful precedent, common tradition or relevant
experience. It lacks power to enforce orders, or compel the
disclosure of evidence and presence of witnesses, particularly for
the defense.
It is not capable of finding facts fairly, or defining and applying
legal principles equally. It cannot do justice.
The statutory mandate for the ICTY makes it hostile to concern
for the rights of those accused before it, because it is told the
crimes charged have occurred and the accused have been
demonized.
The right to assistance of counsel, so firmly established in
international law, has been denied and frustrated by the Tribunal
even in its most prominent cases. The Registry denied to me the
right to consult with lawyers of my choice on legal matters for
several weeks after my arraignment.
The Registrar wrote that for the one attorney who visited me
during that time and for only two hours, it would have been
''inappropriate'' to discuss the case because the conversation
was monitored and confidences would be violated. Lawyers from
Yugoslavia I ask to consult, with one exception, a monitored two
hours visit, were still denied approval and visas to enter the
Netherlands seven weeks after my arraignment.
Instead I was held in solitary confinement. I was able to visit my
wife only after more than two weeks imprisonment and then only
through sound proof glass using monitored telephones. She was
prohibited from speaking with the press and kept isolated from all
public contacts while in the Netherlands, a virtual prisoner in her
hotel room, except as she traveled between the airport, the prison
and the hotel.
The Ad Hoc Tribunal Is Intended To Demonize
And Destroy, Not To Fairly Determine Facts,
Protect Rights Of The Accessed, And Apply
Legal Principles Equally.
Unfair phenomena is inherent in the purpose and the nature of
temporary ad hoc tribunal, struggling without personnel who are
part of a legal tradition, far removed from the place the accused
came from and the events occurred where the court is charged by
its creator not to presume innocence, but that terrible crimes have
occurred and the accused are from the group that committed them.
They do this to protect thr real criminals, the NATO leaders who
killed thousands of innocent people in NATO's criminal

STENOGRAM
sa pojavljivanja predsednika Slobodana Milosevica
pred "Haskim tribunalom", 30. avgusta 2001. godine
u Hagu
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, postoje li kakva pitanja koja biste vi zeleli
izneti u vezi sa vasim slucajem ili u vezi sa vasim psihickim i
fizickim stanjem? Vi ste upoznati sa pravilnikom koji ne dopusta
nikakve govore u ovom trenutku. Vi cete imati priliku za to,
odnosno priliku da se branite kada za to dodje vreme, no, ukoliko
postoje neka pitanja koja zelite izneti u vezi sa vasim slucajem,
prilika je da to ucinite.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Kao prvo, zeleo bih da znam da li cu moci da govorim ili cete
iskljuciti mikrofon kao sto ste to ucinili poslednji put?
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, ukoliko budete postovali pravila imacete
mogucnosti da govorite, ako se budete drzali relevantnih pitanja
imacete mogucnosti da govorite.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Da, to bi bilo moje sledece pitanje. Ja bih hteo da kazem da je to
ilegalan sud.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Vi ste vec izneli prigovor po tom pitanju. Da li vi sada trazite da
vam se odobri mogucnost da se Vecu obratite usmeno u vezi s tim
pitanjem?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Za usmeno izlaganje trebace mi 40 minuta. Posto mi to ne
dozvoljavate, ja cu to izneti u pisanom obliku. Moji saradnici ce to
izneti u stampi ukoliko vi meni ne dozvolite da to javno sada
iznesem.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Ukoliko vi to ucinite u pisanom obliku to ce biti objavljeno kada za
to dodje vreme. Ako vec sada to imate napisano onda ce biti
daleko prikladnije da se to obradi na taj nacin.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Da, u redu! Ali potrebno je da razgovaramo kao civilizovane
osobe. Ne na nacin da mi iskljucujete mikrofone, ili da se koristi
bilo kakva sila. Potrebno je da se razumemo kada je rec o tome sta
je moguce, a sto nije. Dakle, kad ne dopustate usmeno, ja cu to
predati vama u pisanom obliku.
SUDIJA MEJ:
U redu.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Ako dozvolite, jos bih komentarisao ono sto sam sada upravo cuo.
Cuo sam, naime, nesto vrlo zanimljivo, sto dokazuje ono sto su
vec rekli pre 3. jula u ovoj istoj prostoriji. Naime, da se radi o
jednoj laznoj optuznici. Ja sam optuzen 26. maja, 60-tog dana
NATO-ve agresije protiv Jugoslavije, dok sam ja branio svoju
zemlju. Dakle, dve i po godine su protekle od tog datuma, i mi smo
upravo sada culi da oni koji tuze nemaju dokaze, da oni ne mogu
dovrsiti svoju optuznicu. Dve i po godine je vrlo dugo vreme cak i
za kompletiranje jedne lazne optuznice, a ono sto smo mi upravo
culi je dokaz za to. Naravno, uzimajuci u obzir cinjenicu da ja ne
priznajem ovaj tribunal i da imam vrlo jasno misljenje koje
dokazuju pravne cinjenice, misljenje, naime, da je ovaj tribunal
nelegalan, ja ne vidim zasto bih se ja sada branio pred laznim
sudom na temelju jedne lazne optuznice. Dakle, to je jos jedno
objasnjenje koje sam zeleo da iznesem.
Ako mi dozvolite ja bih sada vama postavio neka pitanja koja se
ticu mojeg polozaja u jednom protivpravnom pritvoru.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Ne mozete postavljati pitanja. No, ukoliko zelite izneti nesto u
vezi sa tim, vi to mozete uciniti.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Po nalogu ove nelegalne institucije, ja sam u potpunoj izolaciji.
Moje pitanje s tim u vezi je zasto sam ja izolovan od svoje
porodice, zasto me moja porodica ne moze posetiti na isti nacin
kako to cine porodice drugih koji imaju tu mogucnost? Zasto se
prate posete moje porodice, zasto prisluskujete razgovore koje ja
vodim cak i sa mojim unukom koji je star samo dve i po godine?!
Zasto? Zasto cinite sve to? Zasto na tako grub nacin krsite moja
prava? Zasto sam izolovan od osoba koje bi zelele da me posete i
sa kojima imam potrebu da razgovaram, s kojima zelim da
razgovaram o raznoraznim pravnim aspektima mog polozaja u
ovom ilegalnom pritvoru.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Da zastanemo na trenutak. Pravila koja se ticu pritvora potpadaju
pod nadleznost sekretara Medjunarodnog suda. Ukoliko se
primenjuju na vas na nacin razlicit od drugih pritvorenika, mi cemo
se o tome raspitati. Samo trenutak.
Poteskoca koja se vezuje za advokate je sledeca. Vi, naime, jos
uvek niste odabrali odnosno imenovali advokata. A, pravila
dozvoljavaju samo posete od strane imenovanih advokata. Ja sada
zelim znati da li je vas stav da se vi zelite braniti sami, da ne
zelite da vam se imenuje advokat, ali zelite imati pristup pravnim
savetnicima. Da li bi to bio adekvatan rezime vaseg stava?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Jasno je da ja imam pravo na kontakt sa razlicitim strucnjacima u
vezi sa razlicitim aspektima mog polozaja u protivpravnom
pritvoru. Osim toga, ja imam pravo kontakta sa advokatima koji se
bave mojim privatnim stvarima u Jugoslaviji. Isto tako imam pravo
na kontakt sa advokatima koji su angazovani u nekim
medjunarodnim organizacijama koje me podrzavaju. Ja imam pravo
na komuniciranje s tim ljudima, ne razumem kako to moze da se
primenjuje na diskriminatoran nacin. Koliko ja shvatam, pravni
sistem se zasniva na nepostojanju bilo kakve diskriminacije, a ja
sam diskriminisan od prvog dana od kada sam ovde.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Problem, gospodine Milosevicu, lezi u cinjenici da vi niste
imenovali advokata. Nase osoblje mora postovati pravila. Osoba
koja ima pravo na pravne posete je vas imenovani advokat. Ali vi
ste izneli dve stvari u vezi s kojima zelite primiti savet. Dakle, vi
zelite savet u vezi sa vasim polozajem ovde u ovom postupku, isto
tako, kada je rec o vasim stvarima, o vasim poslovima u
Jugoslaviji. Je li tako?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Naravno, to je tako. I ja imam jos na umu citav niz drugih stvari u
vezi s kojima zelim da razgovaram sa osobama koje zele da me
posete i koje zele da sa mnom kontaktiraju.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Na prvom Vecu cu se o tome raspitati I obavestiti vas. I to cemo
uzeti u obzir.
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Trece pitanje je zasto sam ja izolovan od stampe?! Zasto mi se ne
dozvoljava nikakav kontakt? Vi me drzite u izolaciji, ja nemam
pravo na bilo kakav kontakt sa medijima. Cak ni telefonom koji mi
je za sada jedini na raspolaganju. Ovde su neki predstavnici
stampe i medija koji bi zeleli da znaju istinu. Ja mislim da niko ne
treba da se boji istine. S jedne strane, postoji citava ta masinerija
koju vi predstavljate, sve te tajne sluzbe, vojne organizacije, na
mojoj strani je jedino - istina. Ukoliko vi mene izolujete, ukoliko
mi onemogucavate kontakt sa stampom, onda je jasno da se ovde
radi o diskriminaciji. Vi cak ne mozete, na bilo koji nacin, da
nekoga uverite, da pravilno postupate u vezi sa postupkom koji
imate na umu.
I jos da vas podsetim, ja ne priznajem ovaj Medjunarodni tribunal,
smatram ga potpuno protivpravnim i nelegalnim. Sva ta pitanja
koja se ticu advokata i pravnog zastupanja su sasvim izlisna. Ja
sam video u stampi.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, moramo ovde uneti reda. Samo trenutak.
Prvo, ono sto ste pokrenuli. Pitanje koje ste pokrenuli. Prema
pravilima pritvorske jedinice, ne postiji nikakav kontakt sa
medijima. Ta pravila se ne ticu samo vas. Ne radi se ni o kakvoj
diskriminaciji. Ta se pravila primenjuju na sve optuzenike koji su u
pritvoru. Sto se tice cinjenice da vi ne priznajete Medjunarodni
tribunal, mi smo to culi, i nema nikakve potrebe da se to ponavlja.
Postoji li jos nesto sto zelite izneti?
PREDSEDNIK SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC:
Koliko sam ja shvatio, oni se bave tim pitanjem protivzakonitosti
suda, nelegalnosti, dakle, to je pitanje nadleznosti. Svakom
advokatu na ovom svetu je jasno da se pitanje nadleznosti moze
pokrenuti pred svakom pravnom institucijom. Medjutim, vi niste
pravna institucija, vi ste politicko sredstvo.
SUDIJA MEJ:
Gospodine Milosevicu, mi necemo sada slusati ove politicke
argumente. Vi mozete da podnesete podnesak o nadleznosti, mi
cemo taj podnesak i razmotriti. Mi cemo podnesak razmotriti.
U redu, rasprava je zavrsena. A nastavicemo u ponedeljak 29.
oktobra.
Molimo ustanite.

What follows is the statement that president Milosevic was
not allowed to read when he appeared, August 30, before the
"tribunal" in the Hague.
STATEMENT
OF PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
ON THE ILLEGITIMACY OF THE HAGUE
"TRIBUNAL"
There are three fatal legal flaws in the so called International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Each has disastrous
consequences for the human quest for peace, the rule of law,
democracy, truth and justice.
1. THE CHARTER OF THE UNITED
NATIONS DOES NOT EMPOWER THE
SECURITY COUNCIL TO CREATE A
CRIMINAL COURT
The U.N. Security Council has seized power it does not possess,
corrupting the Charter of the United Nations, placing itself above
the law and threatening "We Peoples of the United Nations" with
a lawless future in which a superpower employs the scourge of
war to have its way. Nothing in the history of the planning,
drafting, discussion, approval or ratifications of the U.N. Charter
implies, or is consistent with an intention to empower any body
created by, or under, the Charter to establish any criminal tribunal.
The words of the Charter and their textual inferences, the
structure and allocation of power and duties, including those in the
incorporated Statute for the International Court of Justice, all
negate the existence of any capacity under the Charter to ordain
criminal courts. The Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia is
illegitimate and its creation a corruption of the United Nations.
There would never have been a United Nations if its Charter
stated, or implied, that a criminal court could be created under its
authority. No one who believes in historical truth, or that words
have meaning can, after examining the history of its creation and
its text, contend that the Charter of the United Nations empowers
the Security Council to create a criminal court.
An International Criminal Court Can Be Created
Only By A Multinational Treaty, Or
Amendment To The Charter Of The United Nations
The national representatives ho have served on the Security
Council and in the General Assembly and the scholars, lawyers
and experts who have labored for more than thirty years to bring
into being an international criminal court have recognized that the
only lawful and binding way such a court can be created is by an
agreement among nations through a treaty agreed upon for that
purpose, or by amending the Charter of the United Nations under
its strict provisions regulating amendments to authorize, or
establish a court.
When an International Criminal Court was finally agreed upon in
July 1998 by 120 nations meeting in Rome, it was by treaty which
had been studied, drafted and debated for years. The United
States, the most powerful participant in that long process,
consistently sought to weaken the treaty to exempt U.S. leaders
and military personnel from prosecution before it. Having failed
the U.S. was then the most prominent and powerful of the handful
of nations that refused to sign. As of August 1, 2001 37 nations,
the Netherlands the most recent, had ratified the treaty.
The United States is vigorously trying to persuade, coerce, or
bribe nations not to ratify.
Creation Of The International Criminal Tribunal
For The Former Yugoslavia Was A Lawless Act Of
Political Expediency By The United States Designed
To Demonize And Destroy An Enemy And Frustrate
Creation Of A Legitimate International Criminal Tribunal
At the insistence of the U.S. the Security Council nearly fifty
years after it came into being forged a new and powerful weapon
capable of demonizing a nation and its people and depriving
individuals of their liberty for the rest of their lives and placed it
largely in the hands of the United States. The principal precedents
for such pseudo judicial actions over several millennia preceding
the creation of the U.N. are trials of leaders and soldiers of
vanquished populations by the victors in war, and courts used by
colonial powers to control and punish subjugated peoples. The
precedents are many and the violence and cruelty and hatred they
usually exposed and caused was extreme.
Unless It is Limited By The U.N. Charter And
International Law, The Security Council Can Do
Whatever It Chooses To Do
If it is not restrained by the United Nations Charter, the Security
Council can commit any act it desires disregarding all law. Early
proponents of United States world power claimed such unbridled
discretion for the Security Council publicly. Thus in 1950 John
Foster Dullas wrote:
"The Security Council is not a body that
merely enforces agreed law. It is a law unto
itself... No principles of law are laid down
to guide it, it can decide in accordance with
what it thinks is expedient."
If unchallenged, this concept of Security Council power means
that the most powerful international organ created by the Charter
of the United Nations "to end the scourge of war" is above all law,
domestic and international.
But absolute discretion is the very definition of lawlessness and
has been called "more destructive of freedom than any other of
man's inventions," by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas. All rights of all nations, races, religions, cultures,
political parties and individuals are thereby subordinated to the
will of the Security Council, and the single superpower that too
often will dominate it. All but fifteen nations are excluded from
Security Council counsels. Each of the five permanent members
can veto its actions.
The Security Council is subject to domination by a single nation.
The representative of each member votes as instructed by the
national government that appoints him and to serve the interests
of that government, not as an international statesman serving all
peoples and the purposes for which the U.N. was created. The
Security Council is inaccessible, anonymous and less responsive
to democratic processes than any other international political
institution.
2. A ONE TIME, ONE EPISODE COURT
TARGETING ONE COUNTRY, CREATED
BY INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL POWER
TO SERVE ITS GEO-POLITICAL
INTERESTS IS INCAPABLE OF EQUALITY
AND CONDUCTIVE OF DIVISION AND
VIOLENCE
The illegitimate Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia corrupts
justice and law because it is incapable of acting equally among
nations, or within the politically targeted nation. It will increase
violence, division and the risk of war with neighboring nations and
peoples and within Yugoslavia among the segments of the society
the U.S. policy of balkanization of Former Yugoslavia has set
against each other and against the new government the U.S. has
installed for its own purposes. If the United Nations Charter had
authorized the Security Council to create criminal courts, it could
not create a court for one nation, or episode for political purposes,
to persecute selected groups, or persons and such a court is
incapable of equal justice under law. An ad hoc court violates the
most basic principles of all law. Equality is the mother of justice.
An international court established to prosecute acts in a single
nation and primarily, if not entirely, one limited group is pre
programmed to persecute incapable of equality.
If the Security Council can create a criminal court to prosecute
conduct in a single country like Yugoslavia, it can appoint a court
for any country, selecting enemies or political and economic
opportunities for targeting one at a time, while never exposing
itself, or those who comply with its wishes to such selective
prosecution. If the U.S., or any ally or client state it chose to
protect was the subject of a serious effort by the Security Council
to be honored with a criminal tribunal in its own name, the U.S.
would veto the threatened action.
A Court created only for crimes in one country is by definition
discriminatory, incapable of equal justice, a weapon against
chosen enemies, or antagonistic interests and war by other
means. If there is to be any international criminal court, it must
act equally as to all nations with none above the law. The ad hoc
tribunal for a single nation corrupts international law.
By its very nature, the ad hoc Tribunal can be created only after
the conduct the Security Council decides justifies creation of the
Court since there is no other excuse for its creation. It is in every
case ex post facto. This violates an ancient principle of law. It
also requires the Security Council, if there is to be a rational basis
for its action, to make some preliminary claim to finding of facts, a
task such a political body is not designed for, that inherently
incriminates a country, or faction by placing the imprimatur of the
Security Council of the United Nations on a political decision of
fact necessary to justify creation of the Tribunal. The very charge
of the Security Council - genocide, crimes against peace, war
crimes, or crimes against humanity demonized any person
thereafter accused.
The Selection Of A Nation For Prosecution
On Political Findings Of Genocide, War Crimes
And Crimes Against Humanity Creates
A Compulsion to Convict.
Investigators, prosecutors and administrative personnel who join
a temporary Tribunal to pursue allegations of humanities greatest
crimes against a people and leaders already demonized will feel
they have failed if there are not convictions. The very psychology
of the enterprise is persecutorial. Few judges appointed to serve
on a Tribunal created under such circumstances will feel free to
acquit any but the most marginal, or clearly mistaken, accused, or
to create an appearance of objectivity.
Powers That Create Ad Hoc International Criminal
Tribunals Divert Attention From Their Own
Offenses, Or Failures, Or Those Of Allies And
Their Political Surrogates While Continuing
To Inflect And Threaten Mass Destruction With Impunity.
The ad hoc Tribunal which targets a country is incapable of
prosecuting what may be greater crimes committed in the same
conflict, by a power, coalition ally or political agents that was and
remains a much greater source of violence and threat to peace.
Most often the power which forced the creation of the target
tribunal to further damage and demonize their enemy is shielded
from criticism by the avalanche of propaganda against the
accused supported by the appearance of United Nations neutrality
and peace making efforts.
What court will consider the criminality of aerial bombardment by
U.S. aircraft of defenseless civilians, their housing, water
systems, power plants, factories, office buildings, schools,
hospitals, which take thousands of lives directly and causes
billions of dollars of property damages in Belgrade, Nis, Novi Sad
and scores of other cities, towns and villages? What threat to
peace continues from the U.S. bombing of the Chinese Embassy?
Who will be held accountable for the devastation of Pristina by
NATO planes, or the attacks on refugee columns in Kosovo and
Metohia? Is the U.S. use of cluster bombs exploding razor sharp
metal fragments over an area as large as a soccer field in the
courtyard at the hospital in Nis no crime? Will the Security
Council act to prevent and punish the use of depleted uranium by
the U.S. which is as indiscriminate in its radiation as the air, the
water, the soil and food hain it touches and contaminates for
millions of years?
International law accepts bombing of defenseless civilian
populations by a militarily advanced technology that can destroy a
country without even setting foot on its soil because supper
power controls international prosecutions and determines
violations. The dominant element in modern military power is
mass destruction. Victors are nations with the greatest capacity
for mass destruction. This places civilian populations at maximum
peril infrastructure supporting civilian life, buildings, water, power,
transportation, communication, food production, storage and
distribution, health care, schools, churches, mosques,
synagogues, foreign embassies were the direct object of U.S.
aerial and missile attacks. Several thousands of civilians were
killed directly and many more indirectly. The U.S. claims it had
159 casualties, a third from friendly fire, none from combat.
In 1998, the U.S. directed 21 Tomahawk Cruise missiles from
international waters to destroy the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant
in Khartoum, Sudan which provided more than half the medicines
available for a people who are very poor and have been unable to
replace that supply. The U.S. continues to support insurrection in
the South of Sudan and threaten Sudan with prosecution in an ad
hoc international criminal tribunal.
NATO does not claim it prevented violence within Kosovo and
Metohia among the Serbian, ethnic Albanian and other peoples. In
fact, NATO accelerated that violence. It bombed Serbia for 79
days targeting civilians and citizens destroying billions of dollars
worth of civilian facilities, using illegal weapons including cluster
bombs, destroying the civilian Serbian TV and radio buildings. It
bombed Kosovo and Metohia heaviest of all, destroying most of
Pristina, killing thousands of Albanians, Muslims, Serbs, Romany,
Turks and others, and causing hundreds of thousands of people to
flee from Kosovo and Metohia. Damage to the Yugoslavia military
was negligible. In the summer of 2001 the U.S. continues to use
cluster bombs in northern and southern Iraq which it attacks on
most days.
And in 1999 when the U.S. and NATO countries came into
Kosovo and Metohia, as a "security force", they refused to
intervene on the ground to protect people who were endangered in
the province.
There will be no remedy or relief for Serbian victims of atrocities,
some 500.000 purged by Croatia with the approval, if not on
instructions of the U.S., forever from their homes in Krajina, the
more than 330.000 permanently purged from Kosovo and Metohia
since the cease fire in 1999, or for the thousands of Serbs,
Romany and others killed by the U.S. and NATO bombing
assaults, or by the U.S.-supported terrorist organization, the so
called KLA, before, during and after the assaults. The
Macedonians killed, injured and driven from their homes by U.S.
condoned if not instigated KLA aggressions which threaten civil
war in Macedonia and general war in the Balkans will not lead the
Security Council to create a Court to prosecute the perpetrators.
Major Powers Are Not Accountable For Their
Actions Which Cause War, Insurrection
And Violence Within Targeted Countries.
There will be no accountability by the U.S., Germany and other
nations whose acts and pressures forced the break-up of
Yugoslavia, stripping Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia and
attempted stripping of parts of Serbia like Kosovo and Metohia.
The U.S. and several European nations have balkanized the region
in the most artificial and forced apartheid the Balkans, or any
other part of the world has ever known. Their acts have made
peace, stability and prosperity impossible. Economic viability of
small fragmented parts depends on foreign economic interests
intended to dominate and exploit the region. The new apartheid
leads to U.S. planned conflicts between the western Catholic
Croatians and the eastern Orthodox Serbs, creating conflict and a
wall between western and eastern Europe. More dangerous, it
sets the stage for violence, encouraging international conflicts
between Slavic peoples and Muslims to decimate and debilitate
the obstacles to the U.S. world order. Kosovo and Metohia, as a
part of Serbia, and Macedonia are current examples in a long list
of tragic and avoidable violence between Muslims and Slavs,
which has occurred to different extents in Afghanistan, Dagestan,
Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan and Bosnia.
A Federal Republic Of Balkan States Long
Set Against Each Other By Foreign Powers
Was Formed To Established Peace, Cooperation
And Prosperity.
The idea of Yugoslavia, a Balkan federation to heal divisions and
provide a better chance for living together in peace and prosperity,
was seen as important in the years after World War I as a means
to peace. While the idea floundered between the two worst wars
in history, it worked with remarkable success after World War II
in which it was ravaged, but unconquered. An independent and
unified Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was a long term
successful solution for south Slavic peoples. It was a bulwark of
the Non Aligned Movement. With the collapse of the Soviet and
Eastern bloc economy it was the remaining socialist government
threatening capitalist control of Europe. With its mixed market
economy it offered an example to former Eastern bloc countries
for revival of their economic and political independence. With a
successful, functioning Federal Republic of Yugoslavia there was
living proof history had not ended, that more than one economic
system was possible.
After the collapse of the Eastern bloc economy a greater Balkan
federation a south eastern European Union was seen by many in
the region as the means to prevent economic exploitation, avoid
violence and develop a strong and independent political, social and
economic region.
Foreign capital and the geopolitical interests of the U.S.
considered this a dangerous obstacle to their plans for the new
world order, globalization, new colonialism.
The United States Having Demonized
Yugoslavia Attacks It With Impunity
And Persecutes Its Leadership.
The U.S. mercilessly bombed Yugoslavia for 79 day. It tried to
assassinate me by bombing my home, offices and other places,
where it believed I might be. It attempted to kill Libya's head of
State Muammar Qaddafi in its 1986 raid on Tripoli and Iraqi
president Saddam Hussein on numerous occasions beginning in
1991, including its 1993 cruise missile attack on the Al Rashid in
Baghdad at a time it believed he would be there meeting
international Islamic leaders.
Through economic sanctions, the most extreme and overt form of
forced impoverishment and economic assault, the U.S. has
coerced the Security Council into complicity in the longest
deadliest and cruelest genocide of the last decade, the sanctions
against its enemy Iraq which have killed at least 2 million people,
the majority children. The United States has forced economic
sanctions against Yugoslavia, severely damaging its civilian
economy and eroding its will to independence.
Can a criminal tribunal for Yugoslavia which ignores pervasive
violence by the U.S. and diverts public awareness from United
States conduct and legitimatizes by silent acceptance aerial and
missile assaults on civilians and illegal weapons use against one
country after another, making its repetition expected before it
occurs, contribute to the hope for the rule of law, justice or peace?
The United States, itself, immune from control, or prosecution and
above the law, uses its power to cause the persecution of
enemies it selects to terrorize and further demonize. It
manufactures and sells arms to chosen nations, to groups seeking
to overthrow governments it opposes, uses illegal weapons
against defenseless people with impunity, continues to
consolidate and expand its near monopoly of nuclear weapons and
sophisticated rocketry, spends trillion on unilateral protection
from Star Wars assuring a continued arms race while poverty
overwhelms billions, hunger cripples millions, starvation takes
hundreds of thousands of lives and AIDS spreads among poor
nations.
It cripples international environmental protection, undermines
control of nuclear weapons by threatening to withdraw from long
standing protections of the ABM and Non Proliferation treaties. It
refuses to ratify treaties to protect life from land mines which it
continues to manufacture, sell and deploy. It threatens to
undermine a treaty controlling biological and chemical warfare.
And the United States regularly engages in covert operations and
violent military interventions in other nations in violation of their
sovereignty and law.
The so called ICTY is not just another arrow in the arsenal of the
United States with which it persecutes and demonizes enemies
and corrupts international law. The ICTY celebrates inequality in
the rule of law using criminal sanctions to destroy selected
leaders and governments.
It is poisonous arrow destructive of the foundations of peace
among independent nations of equal rights and dignity.
3. THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
TRIBUNAL FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IS
INCAPABLE OF PROTECTING
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, OR PROVIDING
DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
Such an ad hoc Tribunal has a temporary and limited purpose
without helpful precedent, common tradition or relevant
experience. It lacks power to enforce orders, or compel the
disclosure of evidence and presence of witnesses, particularly for
the defense.
It is not capable of finding facts fairly, or defining and applying
legal principles equally. It cannot do justice.
The statutory mandate for the ICTY makes it hostile to concern
for the rights of those accused before it, because it is told the
crimes charged have occurred and the accused have been
demonized.
The right to assistance of counsel, so firmly established in
international law, has been denied and frustrated by the Tribunal
even in its most prominent cases. The Registry denied to me the
right to consult with lawyers of my choice on legal matters for
several weeks after my arraignment.
The Registrar wrote that for the one attorney who visited me
during that time and for only two hours, it would have been
''inappropriate'' to discuss the case because the conversation
was monitored and confidences would be violated. Lawyers from
Yugoslavia I ask to consult, with one exception, a monitored two
hours visit, were still denied approval and visas to enter the
Netherlands seven weeks after my arraignment.
Instead I was held in solitary confinement. I was able to visit my
wife only after more than two weeks imprisonment and then only
through sound proof glass using monitored telephones. She was
prohibited from speaking with the press and kept isolated from all
public contacts while in the Netherlands, a virtual prisoner in her
hotel room, except as she traveled between the airport, the prison
and the hotel.
The Ad Hoc Tribunal Is Intended To Demonize
And Destroy, Not To Fairly Determine Facts,
Protect Rights Of The Accessed, And Apply
Legal Principles Equally.

3. THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
TRIBUNAL FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IS
INCAPABLE OF PROTECTING
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, OR PROVIDING
DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
Such an ad hoc Tribunal has a temporary and limited purpose
without helpful precedent, common tradition or relevant
experience. It lacks power to enforce orders, or compel the
disclosure of evidence and presence of witnesses, particularly for
the defense.
It is not capable of finding facts fairly, or defining and applying
legal principles equally. It cannot do justice.
The statutory mandate for the ICTY makes it hostile to concern
for the rights of those accused before it, because it is told the
crimes charged have occurred and the accused have been
demonized.
The right to assistance of counsel, so firmly established in
international law, has been denied and frustrated by the Tribunal
even in its most prominent cases. The Registry denied to me the
right to consult with lawyers of my choice on legal matters for
several weeks after my arraignment.
The Registrar wrote that for the one attorney who visited me
during that time and for only two hours, it would have been
''inappropriate'' to discuss the case because the conversation
was monitored and confidences would be violated. Lawyers from
Yugoslavia I ask to consult, with one exception, a monitored two
hours visit, were still denied approval and visas to enter the
Netherlands seven weeks after my arraignment.
Instead I was held in solitary confinement. I was able to visit my
wife only after more than two weeks imprisonment and then only
through sound proof glass using monitored telephones. She was
prohibited from speaking with the press and kept isolated from all
public contacts while in the Netherlands, a virtual prisoner in her
hotel room, except as she traveled between the airport, the prison
and the hotel.
The Ad Hoc Tribunal Is Intended To Demonize
And Destroy, Not To Fairly Determine Facts,
Protect Rights Of The Accessed, And Apply
Legal Principles Equally.
Unfair phenomena is inherent in the purpose and the nature of
temporary ad hoc tribunal, struggling without personnel who are
part of a legal tradition, far removed from the place the accused
came from and the events occurred where the court is charged by
its creator not to presume innocence, but that terrible crimes have
occurred and the accused are from the group that committed them.
They do this to protect thr real criminals, the NATO leaders who
killed thousands of innocent people in NATO's criminal
aggression.
Truth Is Beyond The Reach And The Purpose Of
The Ad Hoc Tribunal Which Is Intended To
Punish, Destroy And Divide.
It has been impossible in all cases before powerless ad hoc
Tribunals for the accused to obtain needed evidence and
witnesses for their defense. The ICTY has been unable to obtain
custody of many accused in the former Yugoslavia and has
resorted to, or condoned, improper and illegal means to pressure
their surrender.
Ad Hoc Tribunal Terrorize And Punish Those In Yugoslavia
Who Dared To
Oppose NATO Aggression And To React To Criminal Acts Of
Terrorists Who Were
Killing Serbs, Albanians, Muslims, Turks etc.
In Yugoslavia, the U.S. in violation of international and domestic
laws of both Yugoslavia and the U.S., has installed a government
of its choice in the Republic of Serbia and ousted President
Milosevic for the presidency of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia by bombing, economic coercion including sanctions,
physical threats, covert operations and corruption of the electoral
process.
The U.S. Creates Client Governments By
Forcing Elections, Using Millions Of Dollars
to Purchase Unity For Its Candidate , Then
Finance A Campaign That Buys Votes And
Corrupts Democracy.
The U.S. injected more than $ 100.000.000 (US) to defeat the
Government of Peoples Unity that was in power until October,
2000.
The U.S. has intervened in many foreign elections and often
installed governments subservient to its interests by that means.
The creation of an ad hoc international criminal tribunal with
threats and indictments of the leadership of the government it
seeks to remove is an additional devastating assault on the
democratic process and the government targeted for destruction.
My Abduction and Surrender To The
ICTY By A U.S. Installed Serbian Government
Was Done In Violation Of The Constitutions Of The
Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia, The Republic
Of Serbia, The Statute Creating The ICTY
While The Federal Constitutional Court Of
Yugoslavia Reviewed The Request For Surrender
For A Bribe Of, Supposedly, 1.3 Billion Dollars.
The U.S.-installed government of Serbia abducted and
surrendered me in violation of the Constitutions of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia and its Laws
while the request for surrender was under review by the
Constitutional Court of Yugoslavia, which had forbiden any act
related to surrender until the Court's final decision. That was also
a violation of the U.N. Security Council Resolution creating the
Tribunal which provides that surrender shall be accomplished in
accordance with the domestic laws of the nation requested to
make the surrender. The United States threatened to block $1.3
billion (U.S.) in international loans and aid for Yugoslavia unless
the surrender was accomplished by a date it set. Such conduct
and the participation and acceptance of it reveals contempt for the
rule of law by the Tribunal, the new government of Serbia, or the
United Nations.
The illegal seizure of an individual and his delivery to isolation in
the prison of an illegal international criminal tribunal in a distant
nation threatens the freedom of everyone. For the United Nations
to engage in, or accept, international kidnapping of political
leaders tells that world the old ways of violence, deceit and
coercion are its ways. Those ways will be met in the only way
they can be met, by the same means.
The New U.S. Installed Government Of Serbia
Is Using Its Police Power To Crush Political
Opposition In Serbia.
The current government of Serbia is engaged in crushing and
demonizing its domestic political opposition. The regime will
surrender accused persons to the ICTY in violation of its own
laws as it surrendered me in order to destroy political opposition
at home and receive payments of money and support from abroad
for the ruling politicians. It acts to frustrate any support or
investigation for my defense, even attempting to ban entry and
deport Ramsey Clark when he flew to Belgrade in June to discuss
my political persecution. In the hope of eliminating rival domestic
political power, it put hundreds of people in detention on purely
political grunds.
That government may fabricate evidence, destroy evidence and
control and coerce witnesses to assist in convictions by the
ICTY, and it will seek to frustrate defense efforts to obtain
documents, other evidence, and witnesses in Yugoslavia needed
for the defense in the Hague.
The People Of Serbia And Yugoslavia Risk A
Tragic Future From The External Manipulation
And Control Of Their Governments.
The new government of Serbia is a puppet for the United States. If
there is any expectation a U.S. supported government might be
better for the people of Serbia, or Yugoslavia, ask Iranians if they
believe they fared better under the Shah of Iran, enthroned in 1953
by the U.S. for 25 years, than they would have under
democratically elected President Mossadegh and elected
successors. Was a long line of military governments which
brutally repressed the people of Guatemala for decades better for
the people than democratically elected President Arbenz who was
removed by United States forces in 1954. Was Mobutu, who for
four decades brutalized, bankrupted and corrupted the country,
better for the people than democratically elected Patrice
Lumumba assassinated with U.S. complicity in 1960? Did General
Pinochet better serve democracy, human rights and the welfare of
the people for decades than the democratically elected Salvador
Allende murdered in a U.S. supported golpe in Chile in 1973? It
would be difficult to find four greater national tragedies in the last
fifty years, all brought about by the United States determination to
control those regions.
Ask the people of the several score other countries who have
lived under U.S. supported tyrannies, "our SOB's" as FDR called
Somoza in Nicaragua, how they benefited. An ad hoc criminal
tribunal created to crush the leadership of the opposition to a U.S.
installed government cannot bring peace, reconciliation, protect
human rights, or enable a people to live and prosper together. It
will create fear, hatred, division and violence.
Consider the peoples of the poorest countries of the world during
these last decades obediently struggling to repay loans for
projects and purposes they did not choose and that never
benefited them while their own citizens die from hunger and
preventable illnesses. Consider the economies of eastern Europe,
or of the former Yugoslav republics and ask why per capita
income is often less than half, sometimes less than 25% what it
was just twelve years ago. Ad hoc criminal tribunals will prolong
the suffering in poor countries by supporting governments that will
maintain foreign domination that seeks benefits that will worsen
that condition.
The Violence And Division Within Yugoslavia
Since The Collapse Of The Soviet Economy Was
Caused By U.S. Lead Acts Designed To Balkanize
The Federal Republic And Its Member
Republics With The ICTY As Principal Weapon.
The United States engaged in a decade long effort aided by
several European countries, to break-up and destroy the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia, causing the secession, (remember the
American Civil War) of German oriented Slovenia and Croatia
with 500 000 Serbs purged from its borders. Then Bosnia was
pried away from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and
segregated into an unnatural three region religious apartheid,
Muslim, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian. Now
Macedonia is in turmoil, nearing civil war from U.S. stimulated
and supported terrorist organization KLA aggression. Thus
Yugoslavia became former, losing half of its population and
wealth and leaving only Serbia and Montenegro. Kosovo and
Metohia, an historically precious part of Serbia remains occupied
by NATO Forces after 79 days of aerial bombardment in 1999.
U.S. lead aerial assaults inflicted billions in damages on civilian
facilities, killed thousands of civilians throughout Serbia in the
name of NATO. Thereafter the United States and NATO watched
as 330 000 Serbs were forced out of Kosovo and Metohia and
many hundreds murdered, emboldened by the United States.
Violent efforts to remove all Serbs from Kosovo and Metohia
continue. And the KLA has been empowered to attack
Macedonia.
The ICTY was created at the insistence of the United States
which had stimulated violence and secession in republics of
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and
attempted division and conflict in the Serbian province of Kosovo
and Metohia and in three municipalities in the south of Serbia and
throughout the former six Republics. The U.S. intends to
persecute and demonize leaders who together with the people by
defending freedom and by resisting aggression of NATO war
machinery, had defied its will, and at the same time make the
people seem savage. Madeleine Albright, while U.S. Ambassador
to the U.N., was the driving force for creation of the ICTY. The
U.S. Ambassador to the Tribunal, David Scheffer, concedes the
ICTY is ''supported, financed, staffed and provided information''
primarily by the United States.
Now as the idea and existence of ad hoc tribunals are threatened
by the treaty creating the International Criminal Court the United
States is exerting pressure to prevent nations from ratifying it. It
is also pressing for new ad hoc Tribunals for the Democratic
Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan and elsewhere, to
dominate those regions and defuse the drive for the International
Criminal Court. The treaty, signed in Rome in 1998 by 120 nations
was ratified by the 37th nation, the Netherlands, in late July 2001.
The United States prefers to select nations for persecution while
protecting itself, its allies and favored client states. Ad hoc
tribunals which are illegitimate, incapable of equal justice under
law, by their nature unable to conduct fair trials, or provide due
process and whose victims have long since been convicted in the
United States controlled media are a U.S. weapon for establishing
long term control and exploitation of targeted nations and regions.
That is their globalization, that is new colonialism.
For these reasons, the so called ICTY should be declared illegal
and its prisoners, legally and illegally surrendered, should be
released.

[Emperor's Clothes]
======================================Former Croatian minister confirms CIA's involvement
in 1995 military operation
SOURCE: HRT1 TV, Zagreb, in Serbo-Croat 1730 gmt 20 Aug 01
[Translated from Croatian TV on 20 August, 2001, Monday]
======================================
Announcer: Today's issue of the US
weekly 'Newsweek' carries a report
containing information that has been
surmised for years, but has never been
officially confirmed. According to Newsweek's
article headlined "What Did
the CIA Know" the US intelligence service
closely cooperated with Croatia,
particularly in the preparation and
during Operation Storm:
Reporter: The article says that in
the mid-1990s the Americans helped the
Croats by sending them images of the
Serb forces' movements and weapons
emplacements photographed by drones.
The images were transmitted to an HQ
near Zadar from where they were then
forwarded to the Pentagon. According
to top Croatian intelligence officials,
copies were also sent to the
headquarters of Ante Gotovina the
Croatian general in command of Operation
Storm. Miroslav Tudjman, the then
head of the Croatian Intelligence
Service, says in the article that
the Croatian and American intelligence
services had a de facto partnership. The
then Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mate Granic also knows about this cooperation:
Mate Granic: Of course I know, they
cooperated well, these aircraft were
also used. During the Kosovo operation
Croatia also cooperated successfully
as a partner of NATO and the USA.
Reporter: The article further says
that the US officials have confirmed
that the CIA had limited sharing of
intelligence information with Croatia,
but also insist American operatives
did nothing that contributed to war
crimes, nor did they know anything
about planning for criminal activity.
These facts can be used for defence
in the Gotovina case, the article
further says. His defence counsel
Luka Misetic says that there were many
sets of eyes watching Operation Storm.
No one there in the CIA saw there
was a problem with war crimes. A former
senior administration official says
the White House had the usual scatter
of information about individual
incidents, but no evidence that the
Croats were going out of their way to
terrorize the Serb population.
Another issue is how to pressure the
USA into opening their archives and
forwarding documents to the Hague tribunal:
Mate Granic: The US is reluctant to
give any of its intelligence reports -
that has been our experience so far.
As for whether it will give any
documents now, it is up to the Hague
tribunal and the USA.
Reporter: Gotovina's lawyer announced
he would ask for this by subpoena.
Roy Gutman concludes by saying that
the US cannot wash its hands of it now,
having been collecting evidence all the
time and finally saying: We were
not there.

[Emperor's Clothes]
======================================Former Croatian minister confirms CIA's involvement
in 1995 military operation
SOURCE: HRT1 TV, Zagreb, in Serbo-Croat 1730 gmt 20 Aug 01
[Translated from Croatian TV on 20 August, 2001, Monday]
======================================
Announcer: Today's issue of the US
weekly 'Newsweek' carries a report
containing information that has been
surmised for years, but has never been
officially confirmed. According to Newsweek's
article headlined "What Did
the CIA Know" the US intelligence service
closely cooperated with Croatia,
particularly in the preparation and
during Operation Storm:
Reporter: The article says that in
the mid-1990s the Americans helped the
Croats by sending them images of the
Serb forces' movements and weapons
emplacements photographed by drones.
The images were transmitted to an HQ
near Zadar from where they were then
forwarded to the Pentagon. According
to top Croatian intelligence officials,
copies were also sent to the
headquarters of Ante Gotovina the
Croatian general in command of Operation
Storm. Miroslav Tudjman, the then
head of the Croatian Intelligence
Service, says in the article that
the Croatian and American intelligence
services had a de facto partnership. The
then Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mate Granic also knows about this cooperation:
Mate Granic: Of course I know, they
cooperated well, these aircraft were
also used. During the Kosovo operation
Croatia also cooperated successfully
as a partner of NATO and the USA.
Reporter: The article further says
that the US officials have confirmed
that the CIA had limited sharing of
intelligence information with Croatia,
but also insist American operatives
did nothing that contributed to war
crimes, nor did they know anything
about planning for criminal activity.
These facts can be used for defence
in the Gotovina case, the article
further says. His defence counsel
Luka Misetic says that there were many
sets of eyes watching Operation Storm.
No one there in the CIA saw there
was a problem with war crimes. A former
senior administration official says
the White House had the usual scatter
of information about individual
incidents, but no evidence that the
Croats were going out of their way to
terrorize the Serb population.
Another issue is how to pressure the
USA into opening their archives and
forwarding documents to the Hague tribunal:
Mate Granic: The US is reluctant to
give any of its intelligence reports -
that has been our experience so far.
As for whether it will give any
documents now, it is up to the Hague
tribunal and the USA.
Reporter: Gotovina's lawyer announced
he would ask for this by subpoena.
Roy Gutman concludes by saying that
the US cannot wash its hands of it now,
having been collecting evidence all the
time and finally saying: We were
not there.

Comunicato del Partito Socialista della Serbia
sull'assassinio di Abu Ali Mustafa
Il Comitato Centrale
Belgrado, 29 agosto 2001
Il Partito Socialista della Serbia (SPS) ha appreso con amarezza
dell'assassinio di Abu Ali Mustafa, uno dei principali leader dell'amico
popolo palestinese, segretario generale del Fronte Democratico per
la Liberazione della Palestina.
Nell'esprime il cordoglio ai familiari, ai compagni combattenti e di
partito, ed a tutto il popolo palestinese, ribadiamo in questa occasione
anche la nostra piena solidarieta' con la giusta lotta del popolo
arabo palestinese contro la repressione e per la realizzazione dei
suoi legittimi diritti e dei suoi obiettivi nazionali.
Le forze che stanno dietro questo crimine sono le stesse che, con il
terrorismo ed il crimine organizzato internazionale, per molti decenni
hanno agito in maniera distruttiva ed impunita nel Medio Oriente e
nel Mediterraneo orientale, e per un decennio nei Balcani ed in Asia
centrale, allo scopo di trasformare queste regioni in campi di battaglia
di conflitti etnici e religiosi, nell'interesse della loro espansione
militare, economica e finanziaria, a detrimento dei popoli che vivono
nel nostro angolo del pianeta, senza esitare nemmeno di usare
apertamente l'aggressione e l'occupazione militare.
Il Partito Socialista della Serbia, guidato dal presidente Slobodan
Milosevic, continuera' a guidare la resistenza dei popoli della
Jugoslavia contro la minaccia della colonizzazione e, insieme alle
forze progressiste, democratiche e di liberazione di tutto il mondo,
si impegnera' per la creazione di relazioni internazionali basate
sulla pace, sul rispetto della sovranita' dei popoli e sulla equa
cooperazione. E' vicina la sconfitta definitiva di quelli che cercano
di imporre la loro egemonia globale usando i missili, le bombe e
le sentenze contro chi lotta per la liberta'.

The Socialist Party of Serbia
Head Committee
Belgrade, August 29, 2001
Communiqu�
The Socialist Party of Serbia learned with embitterment about
the assassination of one of the most prominent leaders of the
friendly Palestinian people, Abu Ali Mustafa, general secretary
of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Expressing condolences to his family, fellow fighters, party
comrades and the whole Palestine people, we reiterate on this
occasion as well our full solidarity with the just struggle of the
Arab Palestinian people against repression and for the
realization of its legitimate rights and national goals.
The forces standing behind this crime are the same ones who,
braced with terrorism and organized international crime, for
several decades act destructively and unpunished in the Middle
East and the Eastern Mediterranean, over a decade in the
Balkans and in Central Asia, in order to transform this regions
into battlefields of ethnic and religious conflicts in interest of
their own military, economic and financial expansion, to the
detriment of the peoples living in our part of the World without
even hesitating open military aggression and occupation.
The Socialist Party of Serbia, headed by President Slobodan
Milosevic, will further on lead the resistance of the peoples of
Yugoslavia to the threat of colonization and, together with the
progressive, democratic and liberation forces throughout the
World, strive for the establishment of international relations
based on peace, respect of the sovereignty of peoples and
equitable cooperation. The definitive defeat of those ones trying
to impose their global hegemony with rockets, bombs and
sentences to freedom fighters - is near.
