Karadzic genocide trial in The Hague adjourned

Published on : 26 October 2009 - 10:42am | By RNW News Desk
More about:

The trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, due to open on Monday morning in The Hague, has been adjourned until Tuesday afternoon.

Monday's session was boycotted by Mr Karadzic, who argues that he has not been given enough time to prepare his defence. The judges are considering appointing a defence lawyer in his absence, as the start date has already been put back twice. Mr Karadzic's request for a further ten-month delay was rejected two weeks ago.

The charges levelled against the former Bosnian-Serb leader include genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Mr Karadzic, who was captured in Belgrade and taken to the ICTY last year after 13 years in hiding, denies the charges. The alleged crimes were committed against Bosnian Muslim, Bosnian Croat and other non-Serb civilians between 1992 and 1995 in the war in Bosnia, which left more than 100,000 dead.

Dozens of survivors from the war, who had come to The Hague to attend Monday's opening day, protested outside the ICTY building. The trial is expected to last two years.

Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot
Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case

This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr karadzic

and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.

Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states
instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as
with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United
Nations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and

verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at

the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan

Karazdic and others.

I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings

to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of

criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable

topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts

AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.

Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal

was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly

loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we
contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and
other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its
decisions.”

((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative
from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for
international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives
present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate
topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked!
The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."

Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is,
bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate
topic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that I
attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent
international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

In particular., since "Spain" was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading
financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts
in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, "Spain" must have
already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was "socially acceptable" for
conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and

ICC
before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.

SPAIN's diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is,
disgusting morally!

SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN
"INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT."

I remind everyone, when I attended those ICC Preparatory Meetings in 2001,

witnessing
first hand the country plenipotentiary representatives present with me discussing so
openly, trading judicial funding of a new international criminal court, for its direct
judicial appointments and judicial verdicts, those same state powers were

concurrently,

those same countries and people were already simultaneously, funding the already
established ICTY which was issuing at that time, arrest warrants for Bosnian Serbs
under false primary diplomatic pretenses.

The ICTY and ICC is just where it should be for once.
Cornered and backed into and an international wall, scared like a corned animal (and I
bet it reacts in the same way a rabid cornered animal does too in such circumstances).

I believe strongly that ICYU assocaites murdered former Serb President, Slobodan
Milosevic, tried to murder me, as well and other Serbs prisoners and presently places ,

Doctor Radovan Karadzic’s life in direct danger as well as Ratko Mladic’s life in

danger should he be brought there.

The ICTY has no other choice than to halt all further court proceedings against, Doctor
Radovan Karadzic, and others there both serving sentences and awaiting trials.
Miss JIll Louise Starr (The UN Security Council has no choice but to act on this now).

I accuse the Hague ICTY war crimes tribunal of attempted assassination on my life and
others, contempt of court and obstruction of international justice and "international
witness tampering" in complicity with Richard Holbrook and Bill Clinton (Former US
President of the USA) as well as political playersin Spain and the Netherlands .

I represented the state interests' of the Former Yugoslavia, in Darko Trifunovic’s
absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.

United States :

We’ve all become closely acquainted with the concepts of impunity, international law,

social justice, and both licit and illicit equity within the framework of judiciary

constructs.

1) Many news media presenters argue certain leaders of political parties and organized

crime syndicates are “arrogant,” for believing they themselves are above the rule of law.

However, the award for winning the Olympic Gold Metal of being ‘Mother of All

Arrogance’ has just be captured by Hague’s Highest Legal Entity, the newly constructed

International Criminal Court.

2) This entity shamelessly and explicitly proclaims its own impunity from international

justice while increasing its push moving forward in prosecuting others for identical

crimes itself commits. It flaunts its diplomatic immunity as if it were the President of the

most powerful country on earth. Claiming to rival the powers of the Queen of England

and the Holy See.

Even if i dont support Karadzic which was indeed a murderor, i have to say that the ICT is a pharse. Many more criminals should have been admitted there, and may i remind that the US does not recognise it, concerning its citizens. What a HYPOCRICY.

The American bashing starts already. May I remind YOU that without the US this genocide would have continued and probably have been completed. All the European nations with their "soft power" sat back and watched as genocide was committed. Where did this happen? Southeast Asia? North Korea? South America? No right in YOUR back yard, and YOU did nothing. You know the quote by George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Is the history curriculum being taught in Europe missing the period from 1930 - 1950? From what I recall this was not the first genocide attempt on your continent. I know it is popular to blame the US for all of your problems, but it is getting a little worn out. If the US was a member of the ICT they would probably be trying Clinton for war crimes for bombing European soil. I am actually fairly certain he would be tried because he did not get the "European consensus" before he decided to fight the genocide there. I am questioning whether you know the definition of "HYPOCRICY"[sic] that you so forcefully asserted in your comment.
