Mr. Clark has called the Hague Tribunal “unlawful” adding that it “is not entitled to judge anybody and even to bring any charges against anybody.” A decision to set up the tribunal was taken at the UN Security Council under the pressure from the former US Secretary Madeleine Albright. The tribunal was created by the USA solely to judge the particular country, Yugoslavia, although their crimes against the Federal Republic “exceed by far any crime which Yugoslavia may be charged with.” Mr. Clark is reported to have slammed the leadership of Serbia and Montenegro for Mr. Milosevic’s extradition. Mr. Clark asserts that Mr. Milosevic “tried to protect his people as he could.” At that, Mr. Clark is determined to defend Mr. Milosevic in court, if necessary. As for Mr. Milosevic, he may appear in court today for the first time. He seems prepared to defend himself vigorously and is not going to lose heart. In the meantime, unprecedented security measures have been introduced in Hague. Mr. Milosevic is forbidden to communicate with other 38 convicts (the Milosevic family is known to be suicide-prone – his father shot himself, mother hanged herself, his uncle also committed a suicide). The Hague television is to provide a live coveration of the hearing. “It will be hard to prove Slobodan Milosevic’s guilt,” says American human rights activist Nancy Peterson. She went on to say that “weighty proofs will have to be presented that army and police actions were directed and controlled immediately by Milosevic, that he knew of the crimes perpetrated by the military command and did nothing to stop it." http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/07/03/9192.html Miroslav Antic, http://www.antic.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
