Subject: DECLARATION OF RUSSIAN DUMA ON MILOSEVIC (full
text) DECLARATION OF THE
STATE DUMA On the
inhuman treatment of the political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic by the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia
The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation with
deep concern receives the information on the sharp deterioration of the health
of the former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Slobodan
Milosevic, who is held in prison of the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague. According to the official sources from
The Hague, during nine months of the process in the case of Slobodan Milosevic
(since February 2002) the ICTY sessions have been disrupted four times, which
makes 31 working day (without weekends), only due to the bad health condition of
Slobodan Milosevic. The lawyers (amici curiae) appointed by ICTY have addressed
to ICTY judges a proposal to make a one year recess in the process in the case
of Slobodan Milosevic for the same reason - bad health condition of the
prisoner.
The arterial hypertension associated with the cardiovascular illness,
from which Slobodan Milosevic suffers since time before the imprisonment, is an
imminent threat to his life. The exhausting many hours long ICTY sessions, the
lack of the specialized medical aid and the lack of opportunity to be regularly
in fresh air worsen the health condition of Slobodan
Milosevic.
The former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia undergoes a
humiliating procedure which includes putting the hand-cuffs every time when he
is transported from the prison to the court and
back.
The State Duma not once condemned the works of ICTY, as in the
Resolutions of the State Duma of June 28, 2001, No.1719-III GD "On the address
of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the
leadership of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia concerning the outlawing of the
handing over Slobodan Milosevic to the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia" and of February 15, 2002 No.2480-III GD "On the necessity to
impose time limits to the works of the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia".
In these Resolutions, the critical estimates of the works of ICTY have
been given, including the emphases on the violations of the norms of the
international humanitarian law and on the political character of
ICTY.
In relation to the above mentioned, the State Duma considers it a
priority that political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo appropriate medical
examination administered by Yugoslav doctors and other
specialists.
The State Duma, in accordance with the provisions of the UN General
Assembly Resolution 37/194 of December 18, 1982 on the Principles of Medical
Ethics, determining the role of the health care workers, in the first place
physicians in medical protection of the prisoners, requests the Government of
the Russian Federation to send to The Hague highly qualified Russian doctors to
take part in the medical examination of Slobodan
Milosevic. (Adopted
