> **************************************************************** > > STATEMENT > =========== > > I, Leonid Grigor'evich Ivashov, citizen of the Russian Federation, in > response to the invitation of President of the former Federal Republic of > Yugoslavia (FRY) Slobodan Milosevic, have agreed to testify for his defense > in the process before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former > Yugoslavia (ICTY). I have acted that way in full consciousness, aiming to > contribute towards achieving the objectivity and truth on the issues of > Europe and FRY in the period 1997-2000. > > For me, the participation in the Hague process was important due to the > following circumstances. First, I was a direct participant of the events > considered. Second, I cannot stay away from the fact that the prosecution > had as its witnesses several persons who were directly preparing and > executing the armed aggression against a sovereign state - the Federal > Republic of Yugoslavia and who are responsible for killing of hundreds of > people and violation of the norms of the International Law. > > However, the recent decisions of the tribunal have forced me to change my > earlier decision. The ICTY, in violation of its own Statute (Article 21, > point 4) imposes a counsel on Slobodan Milosevic, who was until then > exercising his right to defend himself in person. Among the duties of the > imposed counsel are the ones to determine who will appear as defense > witness, what will be the character of the testimony and its interpretation. > It cannot be considered normal that the counsel imposed against the will of > Slobodan Milosevic is a citizen of the country that has been stepping on the > norms of the International Law, letter and spirit of the UN Charter and > several times performed aggressions against sovereign states, including FR > Yugoslavia. > > In such conditions, when my testimony as a defense witness can be used > against Slobodan Milosevic and will not serve the objectivity and adoption > of a just ruling, I refuse to take part in the process. > > At the same time, I confirm my readiness to appear in the process as soon as > ICTY creates legally correct and just conditions and respect of norms of the > International Law. > > Head of the Main Directorate for International Military Cooperation of the > Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation 1996-2001, > Vice-Chairman of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, > Doctor of Historical Sciences, > general-colonel (in reserve) > Leonid Ivashov > > Moscow, 9 September 2004 > > ******************************************************************* > > ************ > www.icdsm.org > www.icdsm.org > www.icdsm.org > www.icdsm.org > www.icdsm.org > > ************ > > ***************************** > www.sloboda.org.yu > ***************************** > > Uvodna rec Predsednika Milosevica u Hagu 31. avgusta i 1. septembra 2004. > moze se naci na adresi: > The opening speech of President Milosevic at The Hague of 31 August - 1 > September 2004 (in Serbian) can be found at: > http://www.sloboda.org.yu/uvodnarecC.htm (cirilica / Cyrillic alphabet) ili > na / or at: > http://www.sloboda.org.yu/uvodnarecL.htm (latinica / Latin alphabet) > > Grubi (ali "zvanicni") stenogram na engleskom, moze se naci na sajtu > tribunala: > Rough (but "official") transcript in English, can be found at the tribunal's > web site: > http://www.un.org/icty/transe54/040831ED.htm (prvi dan / first day) i / and > http://www.un.org/icty/transe54/040901IT.htm (drugi dan / second day). > > ***************************** > www.sloboda.org.yu > ***************************** > > > > *********************************************************** > > THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC AND THE INTERNATIONAL LAW ARE IN PERIL. > > JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL LAWYERS' PETITION: > http://www.icdsm.org/Lawappeal.htm > > JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS' APPEAL FOR MILOSEVIC: > http://www.icdsm.org/more/artists.htm > > SUPPORT THE ICDSM: > http://www.icdsm.org/ > > ********************************************************* > You can find detailed instructions at: > http://www.icdsm.org/battle.htm > (please also follow the links therein) or > ************************************************************* > You can make transfers to ICDSM accounts in Europe: > > Peter Betscher > Stadt- und Kreissparkasse Darmstadt, Germany > IBAN: DE 21 5085 0150 0102 1441 63 > SWIFT-BIC: HELADEF1DAS > > or > > Vereinigung für Internationale Solidarität (VIS) > 4000 Basel, Switzerland > PC 40-493646-5 > ************************************************************* > > ************************************************************* > THE ILLEGAL HAGUE PROCESS MUST END. > Statement by the President of the World Peace Council Orlando Fundora (Cuba) > http://www.icdsm.org/more/fundora.htm > ************************************************************* > ************************************************************* > > VIDOVDAN PEOPLE'S RALLY IN BELGRADE ORGANIZED BY SLOBODA > to mark the third anniversary of kidnapping of President Milosevic > http://www.icdsm.org/more/galery2806.htm > ************************************************************** > > SLOBODA urgently needs your donation. > Please find the detailed instructions at: > http://www.sloboda.org.yu/pomoc.htm > > To join or help this struggle, visit: > http://www.sloboda.org.yu/ (Sloboda/Freedom association) > http://www.icdsm.org/ (the international committee to defend Slobodan > Milosevic) > http://www.free-slobo.de/ (German section of ICDSM) > http://www.icdsm-us.org/ (US section of ICDSM) > http://www.icdsmireland.org/ (ICDSM Ireland) > http://www.pasti.org/milodif.htm (ICDSM Italy) > http://www.wpc-in.org/ (world peace council) > http://www.geocities.com/b_antinato/ (Balkan antiNATO center) > www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
