Travesty: The Trial of Slobodan Milosevic and the Corruption Of International Justice

Product Description

In 2006, Slobodan Milosevic died in prison in the Hague during a four-year marathon trial for war crimes. John Laughland was one of the last Western journalists to meet with him. Laughland had followed the trial from its beginning and wrote extensively on it in the Guardian and the Spectator, challenging the legitimacy of the Yugoslav Tribunal and the hypocrisy of "international justice."

In this short book, Laughland gives a full account of the trial---the longest trial in history---from the moment the indictment was issued at the height of NATO's attack on Yugoslavia to the day of Milosevic's mysterious death in custody. "International justice" is supposed to hold war criminals to account, but---as the trials of both Milosevic and Saddam Hussein show---the indictments are politically motivated and the judicial procedures are irredeemably corrupt. Laughland argues that international justice is an impossible dream and that such show trials are little more than propaganda exercises designed to distract attention from the war crimes committed by Western states.

Comments

I think it's not good that Slobodan Milosevic died in a prison while being tried. Think about it. Proving him guilty would mean that Serbia was responsible for instigating nationalistic serbian movements in neighbouring countries and arming them, sending them army leaders (and paying them) in order to expand it's territory. This is what people of Bosnia and Croatia who have been put trough genocide, ethnic cleansing and destruction claimed all along. So his death is basically a "saved by a bell" for Serbia. Keep in mind that this book tries to portray Hague Tribunal as anti-Serbia yet in a suit against Serbia by Bosnia the court decided by a 7 to 6 vote that "genocide did happen in Bosnia... but Serbia didn't have anything to do with it." 6 of these judges protested the ruling saying that Serbia denied many document literally saying that they could "do a national harm to Serbia". The judges said that the court could then ask for document but review them in private but the judges didn't want it.

So please, do not pray for the deaths of these animals but for trail that could lead to Serbia. Remember, arresting and sentencing these criminals doesn't correct the harm they did. Serbia still profits by the genocide and ethnic cleansing it CONDUCTED. Serbian lawsuit party even admitted in UK that Serbia was involved in aggression against Bosnia.
