ONG serbias demandan a una empresa militar de EE.UU. por genocidio

Organizaciones no gubernamentales de Serbia demandan 10.000 millones de dólares a la compañía militar privada de EE.UU. Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI), que según los demandantes, está implicada en el genocidio de serbios en Croacia en 1995, informa el diario croata Slobodna Dalmacija.

CitarSegún la demanda, presentada ante un tribunal de Chicago por las organizaciones Víctimas del genocidio en Krajina y Unión de los serbios de Krajina, MPRI es responsable de "los asesinatos masivos de los serbios de Croacia y su expulsión de los lugares de residencia históricos" durante la operación militar 'Oluja' ('Tormenta' en serbio), llevada a cabo por las fuerzas croatas en 1995 en el territorio de la autoproclamada República Serbia de Krajina, con mayoría de población de origen serbio, prácticamente poniendo fin a la existencia de dicha República. Los especialistas de MPRI adiestraron a los militares croatas antes de la realización de esta operación. Para demostrarlo, las ONG serbias presentaron al juzgado una copia del contrato de adiestramiento de los soldados y oficiales croatas firmado por MPRI y las autoridades croatas a principios de los 90. La suma demandada está vinculada con la cantidad de serbios croatas desplazados forzosamente del territorio de Croacia durante el conflicto. En total han sido al menos 200.000 personas y los demandantes exigen una recompensa de 25.000 dólares por cada serbio que fue expulsado de Croacia. Un portavoz de MPRI señaló al diario que la compañía no está de acuerdo con la demanda, ya que la colaboración de MPRI con Croacia en los 90 no incumplía las sanciones de la ONU impuestas a ese país durante el conflicto en los Balcanes. "Es ridículo culpar a solo una empresa por  una operación como ´Oluja´", señaló. El representante de MPRI afirmó también que "los altos mandos militares estaban implicados en la preparación de dicha operación". Asimismo destacó que fue el entonces presidente de EE.UU. Bill Clinton el que dio "luz verde" para el inicio de la operación al líder de Croacia Franjo Tudjman.

Perisic appeals against war crimes verdict at The Hague

CitarThe Hague tribunal is hearing an appeal by Momcilo Perisic, the most senior officer of the former Yugoslav Army to be convicted of war crimes.

Perisic, who commanded the Yugoslav Army during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, was jailed for 27 years by the UN war crimes tribunal last year.

He was convicted of aiding and abetting crimes but acquitted of a direct role in the Srebrenica massacre.

Perisic insists he was not aware of or responsible for atrocities.

The tribunal convicted him of aiding and abetting murders, inhumane acts, persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds, and attacks on civilians in Sarajevo and Srebrenica.

He was also found guilty of failing to punish his subordinates for their crimes of murder, attacks on civilians and injuring and wounding civilians during rocket attacks on Zagreb in Croatia.

Hadzic's Request for Release Rejected

CitarOn October 25, the former Croatian Serb leader, Goran Hadzic, requested to be temporarily released from November 2 to 4, in order to attended a memorial service for his recently diseased mother.

The Trial Chamber of the Hague Tribunal, ICTY, rejected the request on the grounds that there are not guaranties that Hadzic would return to The Hague to attend his ongoing trial.

"Hadzic is a flight risk because he evaded the Tribunal for over seven years and this flight risk has increased now that Hadzic has been confronted in the court with the prosecution's anticipated evidence against him," reads a press release issued by the ICTY.

"Due to the incentives for Hadzic to abscond and his proven ability and determination to avoid arrest, the Trial Chamber is not satisfied that Hadzic will appear for the remainder of his trial, if provisionally released," it adds.

Hadzic faces 14 war crimes charges, including the persecution, extermination and torture of non-Serb civilians from Croatia between 1991 and 1993.

During the Croatian war, Hadzic was the President of the Government of the self-proclaimed Serbian Autonomous District Slavonia, Baranja and Western Srem, SAO SBWS, and subsequently the President of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, RSK.

According to the ICTY indictment, he was part of a joint criminal enterprise, JCE, together with Milosevic, Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan and Vojislav Seselj, which came into existence no later than 1 April 1991, and continued until at least 31 December 1995.

The Serbian police arrested Hadzic in the Fruska Gora hills of northern Serbia on July 20 last year, after seven years on run.

Hadzic Was Influenced by Milosevic, Witness Says

The former Croatian Serb leader, Goran Hadzic, was very close to the late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, who guided him through the war in Croatia, says a former member of Hadzic's political party.

CitarTestifying at Hadzic's trial at the Hague Tribunal, Borivoje Savic, his former friend and party colleague, recalled their joint arrest by the Croatian police on March 31, 1991, near Lake Plitvice.

Savic and Hadzic, who together founded the Serbian Democratic Forum, SDF, in 1991, were on their way back from a political meeting in the Croatian village of Obrovac when they were arrested.

Veljko Dzakula, another of the leaders of the SDF, who has already testified, said that this event further radicalized Hadzic's plan to ethnically clean Serb run parts of Croatia.

Savic said that his relations with Hadzic started to cool when he noted that Hadzic was under the influence of the then Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic.

"I told him that that a close relationship with Milosevic was not a good thing for us, but he insisted that he was a honest and good man," Savic said.

He added that he advised Hadzic "to turn his attention to negotiating with the authorities in Zagreb, rather than calling Belgrade about every decision. However, Hadzic remained stubborn".

During the cross examination by Hadzic's defence team, Savic denied his role in the crimes committed in the Croatian village of Lovas.

According to the documents presented by the defence, Savic entered Lovas in October 23, 1991, as one of the leaders of the Territorial Defence force.

However, Savic denied having any connection with the Territorial Defence force in Lovas, adding that he went to the village after he had heard about the horrific events there, including the fact that some Croat villagers had been killed after being forced to walk through a mine field.

He also said that he had no power over the Serb forces in the village.

In June this year, the Belgrade Special Court found 14 men guilty of war crimes in Lovas, deeming them responsible for killing 40 civilians and sentencing them to a total of 128 years in jail.

Hadzic faces 14 war crimes charges, including the persecution, extermination and torture of non-Serb civilians from Croatia between 1991 and 1993.

During the Croatian war, Hadzic was the President of the Government of the self-proclaimed Serbian Autonomous District Slavonia, Baranja and Western Srem, SAO SBWS, and subsequently the President of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, RSK.

According to the ICTY indictment, Hadzic was part of a joint criminal enterprise, JCE, together with Milosevic, Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan and Vojislav Seselj, which came into existence no later than 1 April 1991, and continued until at least 31 December 1995.

The trial will continue on Thursday, November 1.

Conference on ICTY Legacy in Croatia concludes in Zagreb

CitarThe conference on the ICTY's legacy in Croatia was held today, providing a unique opportunity to over 160 local and international stakeholders to engage in a wider discussion on the Tribunal's legacy and its role in dealing with the past in Croatia.

Addressing the audience, ICTY Vice-President Judge Agius said: "The legacy of the Tribunal will be fulfilled when this generation succeeds in facing the past and passing on the lessons learnt in the wake of the war and its aftermath to your children and grandchildren. There is no peace without justice and justice means justice to everyone: perpetrators and victims. You owe this to yourselves, your country, the region and the future generations. This is the main substance of our legacy to you."

The Conference is the second of a series of conferences held this month across the former Yugoslavia. The first conference was held on Tuesday, 6 November in Sarajevo. The next and final conference will be held in Belgrade on Thursday, 22 November.

Speaking at the conference, Jasmina Dolmagić, Deputy Chief State Prosecutor of the Republic of Croatia said: "The establishment of the ICTY was a huge step forward in the fight against impunity. The Tribunal's knowledge and expertise should not go to waste but instead be used to its best in the handling of war crimes cases in Croatia."

Ahead of fulfilling the Tribunal's mandate, the conference enabled participants to constructively address the ICTY's achievements to date, as well as discuss the Tribunal's continued contribution to transitional justice and reconciliation in Croatia. Participants were encouraged to share their thoughts on what the Tribunal's legacy should be and how it should be reinforced.

Panel themes ranged from the future responsibility of local and international accountability mechanisms – namely the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) - to the importance of regional access to the Tribunal's archives. Panel topics are the same for each conference, however, the specific issues raised and debated in Zagreb were in accordance with Croatia's national concerns.

The participants included representatives from the Tribunal, officials from national judiciaries, experts on transitional justice issues, journalists, activists, local politicians, NGO representatives, academics and artists from across Croatia.

The three conferences are organised by the ICTY Outreach Programme and made possible through the generous support of the European Union and the Governments of The Netherlands and Switzerland.

The impetus behind this programme stemmed from two ICTY legacy conferences held in February 2010 and November 2011 in The Hague, at the initiative of former President, Judge Patrick L. Robinson. Participants at these conferences underscored the pressing need for discussions to be held in the former Yugoslavia concerning the Tribunal's achievements and its legacy in the region.

Momčilo Perišić (ex-jefe del estado mayor del ejercito de Yugoslavia) condenado a 27 años de carcel por el Tribunal de La Haya ha sido absuelto por falta de pruebas.

http://top.rbc.ru/politics/28/02/2013/847429.shtml

Pero vamos a ver, como es posible esto? ;D Si la anterios sentencia ha sido erronea, los otros casos por la misma regla deberian ser revisados cuanto antes.

Como que "el tribunal de apelaciones llegó a la conclusion de que Perišić si estaba al mando del estado mayor pero no es posible demostrar su culpabilidad". Por que no llegó a esta conclusion antes del 2005? Por que ha estado en la carcel desde 2005?

Menudos pajaros esos del tribunal.
