From: "mart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FREE SLOBO - N� 1 - 31 AOUT/AUGUST 2001 FREE SLOBO ! Newslettre of the french speaking section of ICDSM N�1 - 31 AO�T/AUGUST 2001 Excerpts from the second appearance of Slobodan Milosevic before the so-called ICTY on 30 August 2001. Judge Richard May: Mr Milosevic, if there are any issues you wish to raise in connection with your case or about your physical and mental conditions, then this is your chance to do so. Slobodan Milosevic: Well, I would like to know first of all, can I speak or are you going to turn off my microphone like first time. Judge: Mr Milosevic, if you follow the rules then you will be able to speak. Milosevic: Then that is my next question, I would like to make presentation on the legality of this tribunal. Judge: You have already put a motion in on that topic, are you asking to be able to address it to the chamber? Milosevic: If I cannot make the presentation...I will give it in writing. My associates will give it to the press. I don't see why I have to defend myself in front of false tribunal from false indictments Judge: If you make it in writing it can be made public in due course. If you have it in writing it may be more convenient to deal with it in that way. Milosevic: That is your decision. We have to communicate as a civilised persons not with switching off the microphone... so we can understand each other what is possible what is not. I was indicted 26 May, the 60th day of Nato aggression against Yugoslavia, when I was defending my country, and there are two and a half years from that date, and we have just heard that they have no evidence, that they cannot complete indictment. Having a clear opinion which is proved by legal facts that this tribunal is illegal, I don't see why I have to defend myself in front of false tribunal from false indictments. If you allow to me I would ask some questions to you concerning my position in illegal imprisonment. Judge: You can't ask us any questions, but if there are issues you would like to raise about that you can do so. Milosevic: I am by the order of this illegal institution in total isolation, and my question is why am I isolated from my family? Why my family cannot visit me the same way as the others have that possibility? Why visits of my family are monitored? Why you need monitoring of my talks with my grandson who is two and a half years old? So why you are making all those acts of massive violation of my rights? And why I am isolated from the persons who would like to visit me and who I need to talk and to discuss different legal aspects of my position in this illegal imprisonment. Judge: Just pause there. The rules governing the detention are a matter for the registrar. If they are being applied differently to you to anybody else we will inquire. The difficulty about the lawyers is that you have not yet selected or nominated a lawyer, and the rules allow legal visits from a nominated lawyer. Now, is this your position? You wish to represent yourself, you do not wish to [nominate] a lawyer, but you wish to have access to legal advice, does that summarise your position? Milosevic: It is clear that it is my right to contact different experts for different aspects of my position in illegal imprisonment and in addition to that I have the right to contact lawyers who are dealing with my private affairs in Yugoslavia, I have right to contact lawyers who are engaged in some international organisations who are supporting me, I have right to communicate with those people... As I understand all system of UN is based on the principal of non-discrimination and I am discriminated all the time from the first day I got in. Judge: The problem is that you have not nominated a lawyer, if you nominated a lawyer the position would be clear. The staff here have to follow the rules, and the person who is allowed legal visits is your nominated lawyer. But you want advice first of all on your position here on these proceedings, you also want advice on your affairs in Yugoslavia. Milosevic: Of course and many other things I have in mind, what I have to talk about. Judge: The trial chamber will look into these matters. The problem is that you have not nominated a lawyer. If you nominated a lawyer the position would be clear Milosevic: The third question is why I am isolated from the press especially in the circumstances in which every single day there is something printed or broadcast against me as a pure lie. So you are keeping me in isolation not to communicate to the press even by telephone, which is the only means which is available to me... If there is on one side all that machinery you represent, all that secret services, military mach media machinery and everything else and on my side there is only the truth, if you are isolating me from the communications with the press then it is clear that is completely discriminatory and you cannot even mention the idea of even-handedness... Please let me remind you I am not recognising this tribunal but considering it completely illegitimate and illegal, so all those questions about counsels, about representations are out of any question... Judge: Very well, Mr Milosevic there must be an end to this. Just one moment. let me deal with the matters you raise, the rules of the detention unit provide that there should not be communication with the press. Those are the rules and they must be followed. They do not discriminate against you they apply to all the accused who are in detention. As to your point about your not recognising the tribunal, you have made it and we have heard it and there is no need to repeat it, is there anything else you want to add? Milosevic: I understood we were dealing with that problem of illegality of the tribunal as a problem of jurisdiction. It is clear to any lawyer in the world that question of jurisdiction can be open when juridicial institutions are concerned, and you are not juridical institution. You are political tool.. Judge: You've made that point, Mr Milosevic, we are not going to listen to political arguments, your motion on jurisdiction you have put in and we will consider it. This hearing will be adjourned until Monday 29 October. Extraits de la seconde comparution du pr�sident Milosevic devant le TPI �Quand l'accusation sera-t-elle pr�te?�, demande le "juge" May � la procureur Del Ponte. �Difficile � dire, il nous faudra sans doute encore plus de deux mois�. Plus tard, Milosevic ironisera: �Deux ans et demi apr�s m'avoir faussement accus�, vous n'�tes toujours pas pr�te !� Que Milosevic ne reconnaisse pas ce "tribunal" et refuse de choisir un avocat, g�ne manifestement. Le pr�sident voudrait lui en d�signer un d'office tout en disant que ce ne serait "pas vraiment" son conseil. Ca patauge plut�t. Enfin, le pr�sident donne la parole � l'accus�. �D�sirez-vous soulever d'autres questions ?� �Ca d�pend. Puis-je parler ou allez-vous, comme la premi�re fois, tourner le bouton de mon microphone? Pouvons-nous communiquer comme des personnes civilis�es ?� (.) �Je souhaite parler sur l'ill�galit� du tribunal. J'ai pr�par� un m�moire. Ca prendrait 40 minutes.� �Vous en avez d�j� parl�.� �Si vous ne me laissez pas parler, mes associ�s distribueront mon m�moire � la presse.� Pas de r�ponse claire. Milosevic reprend : �Je ne vois pas pourquoi je devrais me d�fendre devant ce tribunal ill�gal et envers une fausse accusation. Mais je voudrais vous questionner sur mes conditions de d�tention. Je suis en isolement total : pourquoi ma famille ne peut-elle me visiter quand elle le souhaite, pourquoi les visites sont-elles surveill�es et les conversations enregistr�es, m�me avec mon petit-fils de deux ans et demi ? Pourquoi ne puis-je discuter avec mes avocats concernant mes affaires personnelles en Yougoslavie ?� Le pr�sident : �Ce sont les r�gles. Le probl�me est que vous n'avez pas d�sign� d'avocat.� �Pourquoi suis-je isol� de la presse ? Chaque jour, on imprime des mensonges sur moi, et je ne peux r�pondre. Si des journalistes veulent conna�tre la v�rit�, personne n'a de raison d'avoir peur de la v�rit� ! Vous n'�tes pas un tribunal, vous �tes un instrument politique�, accuse Milosevic. A nouveau, le pr�sident pousse le bouton pour lui couper son micro. Slobodan Milosevic toujours combatif devant le TPI LA HAYE, 30 ao�t (AFP) - Slobodan Milosevic est apparu plus combatif que jamais, jeudi matin lors de sa deuxi�me comparution devant le Tribunal p�nal international (TPI) de La Haye, r�cusant la l�gitimit� de cette institution et se plaignant, haut et fort, d'une "violation massive" de ses droits. L'ancien pr�sident yougoslave, v�tu d'un costume sombre et d'une cravate ray�e, s'est lev� � l'entr�e des trois magistrats du TPI mais c'est la seule marque de respect qu'il ait exprim�e envers ses juges. L'ancien pr�sident, accus� de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l'humanit� pour son r�le au Kosovo en 1999, comparaissait pour la deuxi�me fois devant le TPI dans le cadre d'une conf�rence de "mise en �tat", en principe destin�e � faire le point de la proc�dure avant le proc�s. Massif, tass� sur son si�ge, encadr� des gardiens du TPI � chemise bleu claire, M. Milosevic est rest� impassible durant toute la premi�re partie de l'audience. Le procureur Carla Del Ponte a demand� que lui soit lu, durant l'audience, l'int�gralit� de l'acte d'accusation pesant contre lui en faisant valoir qu'il ne l'avait jamais lu et qu'il se targuait de n'en avoir pas pris connaissance. Le juge britannique Richard May, qui pr�sidait, a rejet� la requ�te en attendant le bouclage d�finitif du dossier. M. Milosevic a saisi cette occasion pour d�noncer une fois de plus l'ill�galit� des charges qui p�sent contre lui: "Cet acte d'accusation a �t� rendu public le 26 mai (1999), au soixanti�me jour de l'agression de l'OTAN contre la Yougoslavie alors que je d�fendais mon pays", a d�clar� l'ancien pr�sident. "Deux ans et demi apr�s, je viens juste d'entendre qu'ils n'ont pas de preuves, qu'ils n'ont pas plus boucler leur accusation". Ce tribunal n'est qu'un "instrument politique", a lanc� l'ancien chef de l'Etat. S'exprimant en anglais, d'une voix ferme, il a d�nonc� les "violations massives" de ses droits dont il affirme �tre victime � la prison du TPI, o� il est d�tenu depuis son transfert de Belgrade le 28 juin. "Pourquoi suis-je isol� de ma famille ? Pourquoi mes conversations avec mon petit gar�on �g� de deux ans et demi sont-elles surveill�es ?". Il s'est �galement plaint de ne pas pouvoir communiquer avec la presse "alors qu'on �crit tous les jours des mensonges sur moi". C'est clairement une "discrimination", a dit l'ancien pr�sident. Le juge Richard May l'a renvoy� au r�glement de l'unit� de d�tention du TPI qui interdit toute communication avec la presse � tous les d�tenus Le magistrat a �galement d�cid� de nommer un avocat d'office, M. Milosevic ayant refus� d'en prendre un. Ce sera un avocat d'un genre particulier puisqu'il ne sera pas charg� de d�fendre M. Milosevic mais d'assister la cour lors de la proc�dure et durant le proc�s. Cet avocat ne repr�sentera pas l'accus�, il ne pr�sentera pas une "d�fense positive" de M. Milosevic mais il entreprendra toute action "judicieuse" n�cessaire pour assurer un proc�s �quitable, a pr�cis� le TPI. " consider this tribunal and indictments false" (Excerpts from President Milosevic' first appearance before ICTY on 04/07/2001) THE hearing yesterday lasted 12 minutes with, aside from translators, only Judge Richard May and Milosevic speaking. This is an unofficial transcript. The court president (British Judge Richard May): "This is the initial appearance of the accused in this case upon his transfer to the tribunal. The hearing is to be conducted in accordance with the rules of procedure and evidence of the tribunal, rule 62. "Mr Milosevic, I see that you are not represented by counsel today; we understand that this is of your own choice. You do have the right, of course, to defend yourself, you also have a right to counsel, and you should consider carefully whether it's in your own best interests not to be represented. "These proceedings will be long and complex, and you may wish to reconsider the position. In these circumstances, if you wish to have time to consider whether you want to have counsel or not, we would be prepared to give it to you. Now, do you want some time to consider now?" Milosevic (in English): "I consider this tribunal false tribunal and indictments false indictments. It is illegal being not appointed by UN General Assembly so I have no need to appoint counsel to illegal organ." President: "Mr Milosevic, in due course you will have the chance to put in motions challenging the jurisdiction or any other preliminary matters which you wish to do, but we take it that you wish to proceed today without counsel, although it's a matter which you may wish to reconsider in due course. "This initial appearance is simply to deal with these matters, first of all the indictment itself, and secondly for you, if you wish, to enter your pleas of guilty or not guilty to it. The first matter is the indictment. "As you may know, you have the right to have the indictment read out now into court before you plead to it. This is a right which you may also waive. Now, do you want to have the indictment read out or not?" Milosevic (In English): "That's your problem." President: "Mr Milosevic, you are now before this tribunal, and you're within the jurisdiction of it. You will be tried by the tribunal; you will be accorded the full rights of the accused according to international law, and the full protections of international law and the statute . . ." Milosevic (In Serbian): "Mr President . . ." (pause while translation facilities rectified) President: "The trial chamber will treat your response as a waiver of your right to have the indictment read out. The next part of the procedure is to move towards having that indictment put to you. "Mr Milosevic, you may if you wish have time to consider your plea. The rule allows you up to 30 days to do so, if you don't understand the matters to which you have to plead or you wish to consult counsel before entering a plea. "On the other hand you may enter a plea today. Now, do you want to enter pleas today, or are you asking for an adjournment to consider the matter further?" Milosevic (In Serbian, via court translator): "This trial's aim is to produce false justification for the war crimes of Nato committed in Yugoslavia." President: "Mr Milosevic, I asked you a question: do you wish to enter your pleas today or are you asking for an adjournment to consider the matter further?" Milosevic (In Serbian) "I have given you my answer. Furthermore this so called tribunal is . . ." (remainder faded down) President: "The rules state that if an accused fails to enter a plea, then the trial chamber shall enter a plea of not guilty on his behalf. Mr Milosevic, we treat your response as a failure to enter a plea and we shall enter pleas of not guilty on each count on your behalf." Milosevic (In Serbian): "As I have said, the aim of this tribunal is to justify the crimes committed in Yugoslavia. That is why this is a false trial, an illegitimate one . . ." President: "Mr Milosevic, this is not the time for speeches. As I have said, you will have a full opportunity in due course to defend yourself and to make your defence before the tribunal. This is not the moment to do so. This matter is now adjourned. "The next hearing will be a status conference which will take place in the week commencing the August 27 unless the trial chamber orders an earlier hearing."The matter is now adjourned." Milosevic: The legal battle ahead (Excerpts from BBC NEWS - Tuesday, 3 July, 2001) Milosevic may not recognise the tribunal in The Hague By BBC New Online's Tarik Kafala The trial of Slobodan Milosevic is expected to be an epic legal battle that could run for months, if not years. The case against Mr Milosevic looks like a strong one, but proving it in a court is another matter. And despite what many see as Mr Milosevic's demonisation in the West, he is still innocent until proven guilty. [The trial] will be a real test to see if the judges that have been appointed to this international criminal body can rise above the politics of their own countries and deliver justice, said Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson. There are questions about the strength of the evidence against Mr Milosevic. (...) There are also several unknown elements that surround the case. The president of the tribunal, Claude Jorda, has said the trial will not begin for another eight to 12 months, and is likely to last for more than a year (...) Tactics The former Yugoslav leader has so far declined to appoint a defence counsel, despite meeting two lawyers who had been representing him before his extradition from Belgrade. At his first appearance before the international tribunal Mr Milosevic appeared without legal representation. He said that he regarded the court and its indictment as illegal and false, and therefore he did not have to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. There is no convincing evidence whatsoever that he is guilty of any crime or atrocity... unless they concoct it, said Christopher Black of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic Mr Milosevic had indicated before his court appearance that he would not recognise the international tribunal and has rejected his trial as being "politically motivated". The presiding judge, as the rules of the tribunal require, entered a plea of not guilty on Mr Milosevic's behalf. Officials from the tribunal have made it clear that they will be preparing additional indictments against Mr Milosevic for crimes in Croatia and Bosnia, as well as the current indictments to do with crimes in Kosovo. Tribunal officials hope that there will be a single trial at which the former president will face all the charges the tribunal wants to bring at the same time. After a brief appearance before the tribunal on 3 July the trial was adjourned until 27 August. Test of international justice The ability of the tribunal to try such an important figure as Mr Milosevic in a way that is perceived to be transparent and fair is very important for the process of international justice. "I think the trial is going to be more the trial of the idea of international justice than, perhaps, the trial of Slobodan Milosevic, because international justice has never been tested," Geoffrey Robertson says. "It will be a real test to see if the judges that have been appointed to this international criminal body can rise above the politics of their own countries and deliver justice." (...) Prosecutors will also be seeking to establish two other principles of authority to prove Mr Milosevic's guilt. The first is Mr Milosevic's "de jure", or legal responsibility as president of Yugoslavia for the actions of the army. The prosecution will also be attempting to demonstrate Mr Milosevic's "de facto" responsibility - that he was in reality, or practically, the final authority at the top of Yugoslavia's military and security apparatus. "Cear conscience" Defenders of Mr Milosevic argue that the evidence against him is flimsy. Christopher Black, a Canadian criminal lawyer and member of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic, told the BBC: "There is no convincing evidence whatsoever that he is guilty of any crime or atrocity whatsoever. UN estimates now of all the bodies found in Kosovo is less than 1000 - half of which are Serbs. "You have more than that in Northern Ireland. We should be arresting British leaders if we apply the same standard," he said. In a recent meeting, Mr Milosevic apparently told Mr Black that he had a clear conscience. "There is no evidence going to be found against him unless they concoct it. I looked the man right in the eye, a man I have never met before, and he looked me straight in the eye and did not blink. "Yes I believe him. I have been a criminal lawyer for 25 years and I have spoken to a lot of witnesses - I know when a man is telling the truth," Mr Black said. Will Milosevic get a fair trial ? Is it time for a world court ? (Excerpts from BBC NEWS - Tuesday, 3 July, 2001) Milosevic's defence options. Milosevic has several choices as he considers his trial By south-east Europe analyst Gabriel Partos Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic refused to accept the jurisdiction of the UN tribunal in The Hague when he attended a pre-trial hearing. Mr Milosevic - who at the 1995 Dayton peace accords solemnly undertook to co-operate with the tribunal - said in court that the tribunal lacked legitimacy because it had not been set up by the UN's General Assembly. I consider this tribunal a false tribunal and the indictments false indictments - I have no need to appoint counsel to an illegal organ, said Milosevic. But international lawyers say the former president's argument does not appear to have any validity, and Mr Milosevic has other lines of defence open to him should he decide to co-operate with the tribunal. Under the UN Charter, the powers of the General Assembly, which includes all the member states, are severely circumscribed. Assembly powers Indeed, chapter IV, which deals with the General Assembly, repeatedly notes that the assembly "may make recommendations" - rather than give instructions - either to the Security Council or to the UN's member states. By contrast, chapter V contains an explicit provision - article 25 - which binds UN members to "agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council". Indeed, it is the 15-member Security Council which acts as the UN's effective executive arm, and makes most key decisions. Its five permanent members - Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States - can each veto any resolution. The decision to set up the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia was reached unanimously in 1993. Accepting the Security Council Mr Milosevic's determination to question the UN Security Council's authority also goes against his previous willingness to go along with its decisions. The Dayton accords were given the UN's backing in Security Council resolution 1031. And the deal that stopped Nato's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia over Kosovo in June 1999 was enshrined in Security Council resolution 1244. So Mr Milosevic's performance in court on Tuesday seems to go against his earlier attitude towards the Security Council and against his written undertakings at Dayton. In the face of his defiance, the tribunal judges entered a plea on his behalf as the rules of the court stipulate. Serb hero ? Mr Milosevic's performance in court may be part of an attempt to cast himself in the image of a defeated Serb hero or martyr. Some of the propaganda Belgrade put out during the Kosovo conflict described the fighting as yet another struggle by the much-persecuted Serbian nation against overwhelming odds. It is a tradition that goes back to the portrayal - as a noble defeat - of the 1389 battle of Kosovo which subsequently led to the conquest of Serbia by the Ottoman Turkish empire. Mr Milosevic may decide to persist in his refusal to recognise the tribunal in the hope of writing a new chapter of Serb history in which he plays the chief victim in yet another noble defeat. Mounting a defence Alternatively, he may change his mind and mount some kind of defence. In this case, he could begin with several procedural matters. He could challenge the presiding judge, Richard May, on the grounds that he is from Britain - one of the leading participants in Nato's air campaign against Yugoslavia. Under the European Convention on Human Rights, one of the key tests is not just the impartiality of a judge but the perception that he or she is impartial. In other words, Judge May's nationality itself could be used in questioning the perception of his impartiality. International lawyers say there is as yet no precedent in European law for nationality being used as a possible cause of partiality. Challenge to extradition On the other hand, one of the main points about setting up The Hague tribunal was precisely to provide a neutral, international setting - rather than allow the former Yugoslav republics to try either their own or each other's nationals in a climate of ethnic hatred. Mr Milosevic could also challenge the manner of his transfer to the tribunal which was carried out by the Serbian authorities in defiance of a ruling by the Yugoslav Constitutional Court. However, it is unlikely the tribunal would want to intervene in Yugoslavia's internal legislation. Besides, it has dismissed earlier challenges by other defendants who were in some cases forcibly arrested or abducted before being handed over to the tribunal. Whichever option the former strongman of the Balkans chooses, he does not have to decide for some time. According to the tribunal, Mr Milosevic and his team of lawyers - if he decides to employ them - will probably have between eight and 12 months to prepare his case (...) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. MILOSEVIC (From Pravda.RU - 2001-08-21) The former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia threatens to tell the whole truth as the Belgrade party ends in tears. As the situation in Belgrade gives Mr. Milosevic a good reason to smile on his 60th birthday, his wife, Mira Markovic, declares that her husband is ready to tell the whole story, which should be giving many in the west attacks of nerves. President Vojislav Kostunica's party left the government of Zoran Djindjic, after accusing the latter of corruption and of having ties with organized crime. A police agent who had gone to Kostunica's office to denounce various political leaders and businessmen involved in shady deals was murdered hours later. This is the reality of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia today, less than a year after having been swept to power in Serbia, backed by NATO. The party ends in tears. NATO's interference in the Balkans thus seems more and more befitting of a warden in a chamber of horrors - on one hand, the murderous criminals of the UCK, aided and abetted, armed, equipped and trained by NATO and on the other, Djindjic, accused of corruption and ties to organized crime and suspected of being implicated in the murder of those who dare to denounce him. As Slobodan Milosevic turns 60 years old, today, his wife Mira Markovic makes declarations which should cause a spate of nervous telephone calls by the many who have been involved in the hypocrisy of western policy towards the Balkans in the past decade. "While Milosevic was useful to the USA, everyone considered him a partner of America. Later, a movement of resistance towards the former Yugoslavia developed in American policy, and Washington began to support the terrorist movements of Kosovo. All of these had the objective of destabilising Yugoslavia. It is obvious that the Albanians had neither the courage nor the weapons to begin an offensive on such a scale". She declared that her husband is the most competent person to bear witness to the events of the last tem years in the Balkans and to explain the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. This witness is expected to include the hard facts regarding the role of western politicians involved in negotiations with Yugoslavia. Mira Markovic blames foreign powers for fomenting nationalism in the former Yugoslavia, provoking them to divide and fight among themselves. Meanwhile, the great victim has always been Serbia. "It was only we who did not have the right to defend ourselves and we were classified as criminals because we protected ourselves in a land of terrorists and separatists". The involvement of foreign powers in the break-up of Yugoslavia will soon be brought to light. The thought remains that either all of those who are guilty of what happened in the Balkans should be sitting beside Mr. Milosevic on the stand, or that he should be released because either they are all guilty, or nobody is. Happy birthday, Mr. Milosevic (Timothy BANCROFT-HINCHEY , PRAVDA.Ru, LISBON PORTUGAL) Mira Markovic : Milosevic Is Not Guilty For Serb Crimes Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic's wife Mira Markovic said on Saturday August 25 that her husband was not guilty for any of the war crimes committed while he was in office. "If individual soldiers and policemen did commit crimes, you wouldn't punish their bosses and certainly not the head of state," Markovic, who is the leader of the opposition Yugoslav Left (JUL) coalition, told the Dutch NOS television in a brief interview. Markovic also denied that Serb forces had committed any crimes against Kosovo Albanians, which NATO used as an excuse to bomb Yugoslavia in 1999. "Serbs have not committed any crimes in Kosovo... Separatist terrorist movements were an issue there. That was a crime," Markovic said.
