Belarus parliament: Hague Tribunal further existence
pointless
Today the Belarusian parliament adopted a resolution
in view of the death of former Yugoslavia president
Slobodan Milosevic.
The resolution was voiced by the chairperson of the
international affairs and CIS relations commission
Vadim Popov.
Slobodan Milosevic spent last five years of his life
in detention of the International Criminal Tribunal
for criminal prosecution of persons responsible for
grave violations of international humanitarian laws in
the former Yugoslavia since 1991 (ICTY).
Slobodan Milosevic died of an acute myocardial
infarction according to the official medical
certification of the cause of death.
The resolution reads, the international community has
repeatedly reminded the ICTY of the fact that Slobodan
Milosevic needed specialised cardiological treatment.
The life and health of this man was in hands of the
judges and medics of the Hague Tribunal.
However, his appeal to go to the Russian Federation
for treatment was denied. The denial cannot be
qualified in any other way than "inhumane and cruel
act, which led to a tragic finale", reads the
resolution.
The death of the former Yugoslavia president received
a wide public recognition throughout the world and
shook the situation in Serbia.
The document stresses, Slobodan Milosevic is not the
only victim of the Hague Tribunal. It is obvious the
organisation cannot preserve lives of those it tries.
The ICTY is obviously a politicized body with inherent
biased approaches.
The tribunal works for the benefit of those, who are
responsible for the Balkans operation. The tribunal's
purpose of existence is well-known: justifying NATO
actions in the region.
As the head of a sovereign state, Slobodan Milosevic
was entitled to and obliged to defend the integrity of
his country and defend its security.
The Belarusian parliament believes, circumstances of
Slobodan Milosevic's death need an objective
international investigation. The parliament demands to
make the ICTY judges, who denied Slobodan Milosevic's
treatment appeal, answerable.
In view of the death of the former Yugoslavia
president, the National Assembly of Belarus believes
"further activities of the ICTY are pointless and
demands to hand over all the accused to judicial
authorities of their states".
