JUSTICE v. POLITICS

Louise Arbour

18 September, 2008

The former chief prosecutor of the Hague tribunal, later UN commissioner for human rights, argues for the importance of a system of international justice overriding short-term political calculations.  When I announced the indictment of Slobodan Milosevic on 27 May 1999, at the height of the armed conflict between Serbia and NATO troops in Kosovo, many were dismayed.

WHY PROSECUTION FAILED TO PROVE WHAT 'EVERYBODY KNOWS' - PART THREE

OBVIOUS NEED NOT BE TRUE

Insistence on the fact that the trial went on in an atmosphere of fear and on substantial problems both the Trial Chamber and the prosecution faced in dealing with witnesses who didn't feel safe despite the protection measures sounded almost as an excuse for the judgment delivered to Haradinaj, Balaj and Brahimaj. Haradinaj and Balaj were acquitted and Brahimaj was...   More >>>
