26 February Hague International Conference:
The Final Announcement
[ Terzo - e definitivo - annuncio ufficiale della Conferenza che si
terrà all'Aia sabato prossimo, sulle problematiche legate al
processo-farsa contro Milosevic e contro la Jugoslavia. L'annuncio
comprende ora i titoli di tutti gli interventi.
Si noti, oltre alla conferma della presenza di Ramsey Clark

dell'India), Dragoslav Ognjanovic, Hans Köchler.

### Rinnoviamo in questa occasione il nostro APPELLO: ###
Per l'organizzazione di questa Conferenza lo sforzo economico è ai
limiti delle possibilità dell'ICDSM, che è stato perciò costretto a
prevedere un biglietto d'ingresso. Inoltre, c'è bisogno di fondi per la
pubblicazione degli Atti della Conferenza e per tutte le iniziative
successive in programma, di sensibilizzazione e di protesta.
SENZA MEZZI FINANZIARI, LA DIFESA DI MILOSEVIC NON HA CHANCES.
Il "Tribunale" garantisce infatti solamente le spese essenziali per il
viaggio dei "testimoni" in occasione delle udienze; ma tutte le spese
di documentazione, comunicazione, gli spostamenti per la preparazione
delle udienze, i contatti e tutte le attivita' dei consulenti legali di
Milosevic (da non confondere con gli "avvocati d'ufficio" imposti
dall'accusa) e del Comitato di difesa vanno autofinanziate. Inoltre,
servono soldi per pubblicare i testi relativi al "processo- farsa",
poiche' la loro diffusione via internet ha una presa limitata, e con il
trascorrere del tempo queste informazioni si disperdono e vanno perdute.
Si valuta che sia indispensabile raccogliere almeno 10mila euro al mese
per far fronte a tutte le necessita' di assistenza legale, di
documentazione e di comunicazione. Le sottoscrizioni piu' regolari e
consistenti finora sono arrivate dalla Serbia e dalla Germania, dove
esiste una nutrita comunita' di emigrati, per un ammontare mensile di
poche centinaia di euro.
Si badi bene: NON ESISTONO ALTRE FONTI DI FINANZIAMENTO. Una legge
passata dal Parlamento serbo nella primavera 2004 - che in linea di
principio avrebbe garantito una parziale copertura delle spese - e'
stata subito "congelata" in seguito alle minacce occidentali. Una
qualsivoglia campagna di finanziamento su basi volontarie a Belgrado e'
praticamente irrealizzabile. A causa delle scelte estremistiche, in
senso neoliberista, del regime instaurato il 5 ottobre 2000 la
situazione sociale e' disastrosa, la disoccupazione dilaga, i salari
sono da fame, chi ha i soldi per
mangiare li tiene ben stretti e solo in pochi casi e' disposto a
rischiare la galera (o peggio: vedi le torture in carcere nella
primavera 2003, durante la cosiddetta "Operazione Sciabola") in
attivita' politiche o di solidarieta' a favore di Milosevic: il quale
viene tuttora demonizzato dai media locali (tutti in mano a societa'
occidentali, soprattutto tedesche) esattamente come da noi. A tutti
deve essere infine chiaro - se ancora ci fosse bisogno di ripeterlo -
che al di la' delle menzogne giornalistiche NON ESISTE ALCUN "TESORO
NASCOSTO" DI MILOSEVIC, e che il nostro impegno per la sua difesa e'
insostituibile oltreche' indispensabile.
La Sezione Italiana dell'ICDSM, ringraziando tutti quelli che hanno
finora contribuito alla campagna di autofinanziamento, chiede che lo
sforzo in tal senso prosegua, cosi' come sta proseguendo in tutte le
altre realta' nazionali.

URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL
******************************
After the Hague Tribunal declared war against human rights and
International Law by banning President Milosevic's right to
self-defense, our activities for his liberation and for the restoration
of his freedom and for the national sovereignty of the Serbian people
need to be reorganized and intensified.
We need professional, legal work now more than ever. Thus, the creation
of conditions for that work is the imperative at this moment.
*******************************************
The petition of 100 lawyers and law professors from 18 countries, and
other related activities of the ICDSM Legal Committee, produced a
public effect incomparable to any other previous action by the ICDSM.
President Milosevic has the truth and law on his side. In order to use
that advantage to achieve his freedom, we must fight this totally
discredited tribunal and its patrons through professionally conducted
actions which would involve the Bar Associations, the European Court,
the UN organs in charge and the media.
Our practice has shown that ad hoc voluntary work is not enough to deal
properly with these tasks. The funds secured in Serbia are still enough
only to cover the expenses of the stay and work of President
Milosevic's legal associates at The Hague (one at the time). The funds
secured by the German
section of the ICDSM (still the only one with regular contributions)
are enough only to cover minimal additional work at The Hague connected
with contacts and preparations of foreign witnesses. Everything else is
lacking.
***********************************************************
3000-5000 EUR per month is our imminent need.
Our history and our people oblige us to go on with this necessary
action.
But without these funds it will not be possible.
Please organize urgently the fundraising activity
and send the donations to the following ICDSM accounts:

ICDSM plans a legal conference at The Hague. Sloboda has just sent to

parliamentary Resolution against the human rights violations by the
Hague Tribunal and to form an international team of experts to make an
extensive report on these violations which would be submitted to the UN.

ICDSM-Italia: Communiqué
On January 4, 2005, a joint meeting of ICDSM-Italia and the Group of
Atheists and Dialectic Materialists (GAMADI) was held at the GAMADI
seat in Rome.
Considering that within GAMADI a specific "Committee for Yugoslavia"
has been already active for a while, and since this committee in fact
coincides with the active members of ICDSM-Italia, during the meeting
it was decided through a unanimous vote to formally unify the two
groups.
GAMADI offered all its support to the activities on Yugoslavia and
Milosevic, and agreed to issue a 4-pages, dedicated regular supplement
in its monthly printed bullettin "La Voce" (The Voice of GAMADI), under
the title "Committee for Yugoslavia of GAMADI and Italian Section of
the ICDSM".
Given the recent resignation of Fulvio Grimaldi from the charge of
ICDSM-Italia speaker, Miriam Pellegrini Ferri, the president of GAMADI,
took the responsability of coordinating ICDSM-Italia for the time
being. A former partizan in the Liberation struggle against
nazifascism, well-known for her steady committment to the cause of the
peoples under attack by the imperialism, Miriam Pellegrini Ferri called
for an active engagement and contribution of all members in the
activities of ICDSM-Italia.

COMMITTEE TO DEFEND SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC - UK
PRESS RELEASE.
NEW WEB SITE
www.free-slobo-uk.org
The CDSM-UK today announced the launch of their new web site, which
they see as
a valuable weapon in the ongoing struggle to defend Slobodan Milosevic
in his
heroic defence of the truth currently being conducted at the illegal
Hague
tribunal in the Netherlands.
A CDSM spokesperson commented:
" For many people Slobodan Milosevic is still the President of the
Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia. The reasons for this are first, because he was
removed
from office unconstitutionally and then illegally taken out of the
country and
second, because the principled stand he has taken at The Hague court
has proved
inspirational for all those who believe in truth and justice.
The reality behind the break-up of that sovereign country and the
demonisation
of not only Mr Milosevic but also that entire nation needs to be
exposed not
only for the historical record but also for an understanding of what
followed.
Moreover, the disregard for international law, evident in the Nato
bombing of
Yugoslavia and the current occupation of the Serb province of Kosovo,
opened the
door for today´s attack on Iraq.
The claim of `weapons of mass destruction´ supposedly held by Iraq has
been
exposed as false.
Equally false however, but not known to the general public, were the
lies told
about Yugoslavia. The web site is aimed at the general public and
intends to
address that deliberate deception."

ICDSM-Italia: Communiqué
On January 4, 2005, a joint meeting of ICDSM-Italia and the Group of
Atheists and Dialectic Materialists (GAMADI) was held at the GAMADI
seat in Rome.
Considering that within GAMADI a specific "Committee for Yugoslavia"
has been already active for a while, and since this committee in fact
coincides with the active members of ICDSM-Italia, during the meeting
it was decided through a unanimous vote to formally unify the two
groups.
GAMADI offered all its support to the activities on Yugoslavia and
Milosevic, and agreed to issue a 4-pages, dedicated regular supplement
in its monthly printed bullettin "La Voce" (The Voice of GAMADI), under
the title "Committee for Yugoslavia of GAMADI and Italian Section of
the ICDSM".
Given the recent resignation of Fulvio Grimaldi from the charge of
ICDSM-Italia speaker, Miriam Pellegrini Ferri, the president of GAMADI,
took the responsability of coordinating ICDSM-Italia for the time
being. A former partizan in the Liberation struggle against
nazifascism, well-known for her steady committment to the cause of the
peoples under attack by the imperialism, Miriam Pellegrini Ferri called
for an active engagement and contribution of all members in the
activities of ICDSM-Italia.

COMMITTEE TO DEFEND SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC - UK
PRESS RELEASE.
NEW WEB SITE
www.free-slobo-uk.org
The CDSM-UK today announced the launch of their new web site, which
they see as
a valuable weapon in the ongoing struggle to defend Slobodan Milosevic
in his
heroic defence of the truth currently being conducted at the illegal
Hague
tribunal in the Netherlands.
A CDSM spokesperson commented:
" For many people Slobodan Milosevic is still the President of the
Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia. The reasons for this are first, because he was
removed
from office unconstitutionally and then illegally taken out of the
country and
second, because the principled stand he has taken at The Hague court
has proved
inspirational for all those who believe in truth and justice.
The reality behind the break-up of that sovereign country and the
demonisation
of not only Mr Milosevic but also that entire nation needs to be
exposed not
only for the historical record but also for an understanding of what
followed.
Moreover, the disregard for international law, evident in the Nato
bombing of
Yugoslavia and the current occupation of the Serb province of Kosovo,
opened the
door for today´s attack on Iraq.
The claim of `weapons of mass destruction´ supposedly held by Iraq has
been
exposed as false.
Equally false however, but not known to the general public, were the
lies told
about Yugoslavia. The web site is aimed at the general public and
intends to
address that deliberate deception."
