Note from the Saker: I have recently posted an excellent analysis by Stephen Karganovic of the legal farce or “judicial persecution” of Vojislav Šešelj by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at the Hague. I was so impressed by this article, that I asked Karganovic if he would agree to update me, and my readers, about the situation of Radovan Karadžić. Karganovic kindly agreed and he sent me the article I am posting today. Considering some of the comments elicited by the previous article I sadly have to remind you all of two things which I consider self-evident:
1) To describe the gross violation of basic legal norms and civil rights of an accused person does not necessarily imply an endorsement of that person’s views, actions or character. For example, do denounce the murder by a lynchmob of Muammar Gaddafi does not imply an endorsement of his policies or character.
2) In today’s world, it appears that *nobody* has the intellectual honesty or courage to give the accused Serbians at the ICTFY a fair hearing or even to express concern about the total lack of respect of even basic legal norms in their trials. I refuse to “forget” or “not notice”. I shall not be a bystander and I shall not give in to the social pressure to conform.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stephen Karganovic for is superb analysis of these two trials.

The Trial Of Radovan Karadžić Enters The Final Phase
by Stephen Karganovic
The Prosecution and the Defence have filed their final submissions in the trial of Radovan Karadžić, former president of the Republic of Srpska, which was concluded on 2 May 2014. The trial was conducted before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at the Hague. A total of 195 Prosecution and 238 Defence witnesses were heard. The prosecutor, Alan Tieger, has asked for life imprisonment, the maximum sentence, for Dr. Karadžić who stands accused of genocide, crimes against humanity (persecution, extermination, murder, deportation, etc.), and violation of the laws and customs of war. Dr Karadžić was the political head of the Bosnian Serb state during the 1992-1995 ethnic conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, as President, he was commander-in-chief of its armed forces.
While during the lengthy trial the prosecution focused on a variety of imputed crimes, the main charges against Dr. Karadžić concerned “ethnic cleansing” of the Muslim and to a lesser extent Croatian population, the siege and bombardment of Sarajevo by Serbian forces, and events in Srebrenica following its capture by Serbian forces in July of 1995.
In his three-day summary of the evidence which began on 1 October, Karadžić reiterated his innocence of the charges outlined in the indictment. “I am not guilty,” he proclaimed. “This court has put on trial not me, but the Serbian people.”
Although not a lawyer but psychiatrist by training and representing himself in the proceedings, as the trial advanced Dr. Karadžić’s proficiency increased noticeably. While in his 876 page final submission he addressed meticulously every item presented in the prosecution’s case, in the concluding remarks he focused mainly on refuting the three charges which were at the heart of the prosecutor’s indictment.
- There was never a policy or “joint criminal enterprise” to expel Muslims from Serb areas of Bosnia;
- The shelling and sniping in Sarajevo was in response and proportional to outgoing fire and attacks by the Bosnian Muslim forces from the militarized city, and the most dramatic of these events, like Markale, were staged by the Muslims to obtain international intervention for their side; and
- He had no knowledge that prisoners from Srebrenica would be, were being, or had been executed and the number of such executions has been exaggerated.
The defendant argued forcefully that while large-scale movement of each of the three ethnic populations (Muslim, Croats, and Serbs) to areas where their co-nationals constituted the majority or were under the control of their armed forces is undeniable, that is an inherent characteristic of most ethnic conflicts. The prosecution, Karadžić claimed, failed to present any evidence of a plan or policy on the Bosnian Serb side to expel members of the other ethnicities from territory under its control. Quite the opposite, numerous orders were issued to troops and authorities under Karadžić’s command prohibiting ill-treatment of Muslim and Croat non-combatants.
Radovan Karadžić |
The siege of Sarajevo, as expected, was a very contentious issue during the trial. Karadžić reiterated the position of the Serbian side that while Muslims had a strong presence in the city, the surrounding countryside was mainly populated by Serbs. As a result, there was no “siege” in proper military terms but merely holding the line of demarcation between the respective territories of the two communities. Karadžić was largely successful in demonstrating that, contrary to agreements reached at the beginning of the war concerning its demilitarisation, Sarajevo contained significant and well-equipped Muslim military formations which conducted offensive operations against Serbian forces throughout the conflict.
One of the highlights of the defence case was undoubtedly the meticulous and competent dismantling of the story line constructed around Markale market bombings, with considerable civilian casualties, allegedly carried out by Bosnian Serb forces in February 1994 and August 1995. These bombings were significant in psychologically turning world public opinion against the Serb side and, additionally, served as pretexts for the military involvement of NATO forces on the Muslim side, thus helping to tip the military balance in the war.
Karadžić’s defence reinforced doubts that virtually from the start were circulating widely that the Markale massacres were a classical “false flag” operation conceived and carried out by the Muslims, perhaps with Western intelligence assistance. It was, he argued, designed to incriminate the other side, and not a war crime deliberately committed by Serbian forces. Forensic and eyewitness evidence produced by the defence left intact very little of the prosecution’s case with regard to Markale.
Turning to Srebrenica, while asserting that the prosecution offered no evidence to link him to the planning, execution, or knowledge of any crimes committed there in the aftermath of the Serbian takeover in July 1995, Dr. Karadžić vigorously disputed the standard narrative. His position was that the prosecution claim of 7,000 to 8,000 executed prisoners was an impossibility because the prosecution failed to produce evidence that more than about 3,500 Muslim POWs were ever taken captive in that military operation. Furthermore, according to evidence presented by the defence, a large number of Muslim losses were in fact combat deaths sustained during Muslim army 28th Division’s breakout from Srebrenica to Tuzla and were therefore legitimate casualties which cannot be imputed as war crimes.
Dr. Karadžić’s position is that up to 1,000 Muslim prisoners of war were probably executed after the fall of Srebrenica on 11 July 1995, but that – setting aside revenge killings – the executions had neither an official nor premeditated character and were carried out by rogue structures outside of the Bosnian Serb military chain of command. Karadžić did not deny that a massacre of prisoners took place, though on a far smaller scale than alleged in the indictment, but asserted that neither the military nor the political authorities of the Republic of Srpska were involved in it.
On the issue of “genocide,” which is particularly complex from the legal standpoint and sensitive morally, Karadžić maintained that the evidence does not demonstrate any intent, prior to the 11 July 1995 takeover of Srebrenica, to exterminate Muslims as a group protected under the Genocide Convention. Moreover, he referred to much contrary evidence produced at the trial indicating that captured prisoners were being treated regularly into 13 July, thus again refuting the existence of prior genocidal specific intent. Subsequently, groups of prisoners were shot at various locations, but the prosecution failed to link those events to state or military policy. According to Karadžić, it would be just as reasonable to view these murders as revenge by local Serbs for the atrocities previously committed by Muslim army forces using the UN-protected Srebrenica enclave as a launching pad for military operations against Serbian civilians in the surrounding areas.
In any event, Karadžić argued, the object of a genocide – even if there was the intention to commit it – could only have been Bosnian Muslims as a whole, not a comparatively negligible percentage of Muslim residents and refugees in a small town. However, no evidence was presented that a crime of such scope or nature was planned or committed either on the national or the municipal level.
The Karadžić trial (and the mostly parallel trial of Bosnian Serb army commander, General Ratko Mladic) is the last in the series of Hague show trials since the Tribunal was established and began its work in the mid-1990s. In an important sense it encapsulates the spirit and methodology of ICTY. Inequality of resources between the huge Prosecution staff and the tiny Defence team is blatant. The Chamber regularly granted Prosecution requests and blocked those of the Defence. The Prosecution deprived the Defence of thousands of pages of potentially exculpatory evidence during the trial without provoking the slightest effort on the part of the judicial Chamber to correct that outrageous procedural and substantive injustice. Defence request for access to important evidence for independent forensic verification, such as DNA data that allegedly supports the prosecution’s version of the number of Srebrenica victims, was flatly denied by the Chamber. And the list goes on and on…
The unequal conditions in which the trial was conducted leave little doubt that the judges will go to great lengths to look at the evidence and its significance from the Prosecution’s point of view. With respect to the formal outcome of the Karadžić trial, it is practically certain that the judges are highly unlikely to take the politically risky step of disregarding the prosecution’s recommendation of life in prison for Radovan Karadžić.
That being settled, the larger issue is how the verdict will be framed and what reverberations it will have on the Bosnian political scene.
Karadžić’s close collaborator, Bosnian Serb National Assembly President Momčilo Krajišnik, was initially accused of genocide, but in the verdict that charge was dropped by the court for lack of evidence. In Dr. Karadžić’s case, whether or not he is found guilty of genocide (it being understood that in light of Tribunal’s jurisprudence, there are in any event plenty of crimes in the indictment that the court could use to rationalize life imprisonment, if it so chooses) is bound to have considerable impact on local Bosnian politics. It would add considerable impetus and an apparent legal justification to the persistent Muslim demand for the dissolution of the Republic of Srpska as a “genocidal entity.” It would also provide a quasi-judicial basis for collecting from Republic of Srpska’s taxpayers huge civil indemnity judgments that individual Muslim “victims” have obtained in various courts for abuses suffered at the hands of Serbian forces during the Bosnian civil war.
There is also another important potential effect of the Karadžić judgment that is certain to have an impact on the Serbian Democratic Party (SDP) in the Republic of Srpska, which he founded. While Karadžić was in hiding and later at the Hague, his party, once considered a bastion of Serbian nationalism, was taken over by a new cadre of pragmatic politicians eager to avoid confrontations with Western powers and ready to make political accommodations in return for Western support to replace current pro-Russian Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik. SDP’s candidate lost the 12 October election to Dodik, but the party still has considerable influence with the support of about one-fourth of the electorate. It is rumored in Banja Luka, the Bosnian Serb capital, that the new SDP leadership has agreed to redesign party ideology to make it more acceptable to Euro-Atlanticist mentors, similarly to the way that operation was performed a few years ago in neighbouring Serbia by former nationalist Radicals Aleksandar Vučić and Tomislav Nikolić.
According to well-informed sources, again, current SDP leadership were warned by Western interests that by the time the Karadžić trial is over they would be well advised to fully transform their traditional image. Otherwise, their “extremist nationalist” and, after the Karadžić verdict, quite possibly also “genocidal” party might simply be banned by the High representative in Sarajevo who, after all, is the real ruler of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
As we can see now,the AZ Empire’s move to demonize and murder all who stand against them is in it’s final stage!.
Milosovic …gone.
Saddam … gone.
Gaddafi … gone.
Bashir al Assad ..still holding,
and now Radovan Karadzic …the legal farces will end soon.
There is no law!!! only force and greater force.
It has never been anything else!!.
The UN is dead!.A sock puppet!…
A rubber stamp for US foreign policy and dollar hegemony,aka, IMF,WTO and the World Bank,since 1945.
The BRICS leaders understand this,even if their people do not.
For some young people it is learning time….
for some older ‘voters’ it is wake up time!….
If no one votes…
is that democratic?? of course it is!…
In the english language it is called “voting with your feet”!.
Do not buy anything,other than ‘used goods’ or essential basics.
Starve your enemy! or they will starve you!.
Most of all, store clean water and tinned food,this lasts 50 years & more,if undamaged!
From reading all comments,on this blog alone, I can easily detect a hunger in the populace for ‘accurate information’,something in earlier years,was called..truth
Caveat Emptor!
Can you demonstrate the same degree of skepticism of the ICTR trials? I refer to Rwanda. The same scoundrels were largely in charge of ICTFY and ICTR, farcical judicial standards reigned in both (Kagame almost certainly shot down Habyarimana’s plane, and the RPF was a US proxy force). Moreover, as the vast majority of the dead in Rwanda were Hutu (there were only 500-600 thousand Tutsis in Rwanda in 1991), and as the Hutu deaths are grossly underrepresented in actual investigations, it is plainly probable that Kagame’s forces did most of the killings.

The text insert (if the allegation is accurate) regarding the above quote, as well as the all article is quite revealing: http://rt.com/op-edge/ukraine-intellectuals-standing-ground-833/
to Joat:
My American/Dutch daughter, decided she wanted to study in Holland. She finished International School, earned an International Baccalaureate and entered laws School. This got her to the Yugoslavian Court where Milosevic was being tried. The court room is very small, and she explained that she was sitting no further than 2 feet away from Milosevic who defended himself. Within the 2 feet was a thick Plexiglas barrier. She relays that in an effort to determine what made this man “tick” she was watching him so intently that she expected him to give her the”evil eye” any moment. She described an extremely intelligent man WAY ahead of the prosecution, with a sense of humor in the way he tried to best the prosecution at every turn. She believed that the the prosecution would win their case. A fellow student working part time at the Court describes the weekly arrival of boxes of evidence from Serbia. She believes that conveniently (for the Court) Milosevic died. And she was left with the peculiar feeling of liking the man.
She did not complete Law school but instead earned a BA in Psychology and an MA in International Relations/Political Science.
The Karadzic case reminds me of the Milosevic trial.
The ICC seems to have an agenda against small countries and seems to be blind to the misdeeds and war crimes of the U.S./Israel.
This older voter remembers WW2 and is WAY ahead of 90% of Americans who’ve never had a war on their shores and for whom war is abstract consisting of mere numbers.
Is that why a large majority of “older votets” consistently endorse and vote for the most conservative, war-mongering, anti-intellectual, racist, stupid, almost exclusively white, so-called christian candidates? Because older voters remember WW II? You are one of a very, very few; unfortunately.

Exactly.
Putin must get outvof illusion that anglos could ever be anything but a parasite pest and enemy of Russia and of the rest of world.
Russia and Brics must actively work towards total destruction of Anglo nations,
As far as Markale is concerned, Sefer Halilovic, then chief of staff of the Muslim Armija, confessed (after his resignation)in his book “lukava strategija”.
I want to say thank you to the author of this article and to Saker for requesting it.
I greatly appreciate every chance to revise my understanding of Yugoslavia. At the time, in the US, I didn’t know the truth and thus couldn’t understand the horrifying dimension of my country’s evil. I’m very sad that I didn’t know the truth, and I’m still working on getting the full picture.
The propaganda base enables all the western atrocities. The taking of the information space seems to be the enemy’s first military gain made before all other actions. It’s a kind of strategic genius I suppose, although you could also call it the only trick of a one-trick pony, the Father of Lies.
This trial is an aspect of this same war of lies, and an illustration of the uphill battle faced by all who oppose the lies and attempt to manifest the truth. Glory indeed to all those heroes. Thank you again for the article.
To-War-ds: Thank you so much for a very informative link. It was all new to me.
I wrote a long comment w links about the misuse of law in the US’s subjugation of Germany.
It is at the foot of the Saker article which is the most recent one. I believe it wd be new to you, since it has been hidden even from the German people.
Thanks again; I will be reposting the info about US “self-immunity” in lots of places.

GERRY: The school system has been ruined so long ago in the US that it wdn’t take much to be way ahead of Americans in understanding world events. Many, many people exist on the plane of small talk and gossip only. They disuss nothing serious or abstract, and don’t read nonfiction. Of course I am describing most people and not ALL. The idiot box doesn’t help.
As I said, Seselj is an idiot and an actor and thus I was angry seeing the former article here. I do agree that Hague is a charade made to demonize Serbs, but Seselj is possibly the worst example of our people and someone I’d be ashamed of if he ever got into some meaningful political office. An easy comparison for the Russians – he is our very own version of Zhirinowsky.
That said, I come from the serbian part of Bosnia and have been there during the war. This time, I do agree with the article because this time it is almost* spot-on and Karadzic was a real leader and patriot, as opposed to Seselj.
* almost, because the happenings in Srebrenica are not stated in full: FIRST, the muslims burnt some 25 villages and killed over 1000 people there and THEN the Serbs stroke back. The dead there were for the most part jihadist militants.
The muslim commander and mass-murderer Oric was actually in Hague, but they let him go. All that despite that he even showed videos of himself beheading people etc.
To Gerry1211,
Thank you for the story.
In my view,mostly everthing setup since WWI has been for the benefit of the victors.
As we can see from the Sakers article
a man can be imprisioned for 12 years [or indefinately]just like
Vojislav Šešelj.
These disgusting faux institutions
must be broken up,but in my view that will only occur when there is a multi polar world again.
Until then we can only spread the truth to counter the MSM lies.
best of luck.

People who are critical of Putin because he converses with the leaders in the West should not take this as a sign that he is weak. Remember that Saker noted some time ago that Russians believe in talking with their enemies. It is a cultural difference between us and them. Putin is a leader and likely believes that the political winds in western Europe will take a new direction at some point — a direction that will be favorable to Russia. If and when that happens he will already have a basis on which to negotiate various agreements with them.
“Srebrenica” was a provocation planned by Washington and Sarajevo. Like the other false flag massacres staged by the NATO-backed Islamic terrorists under the command of Izetbegovic before, it was a PSYOP to justify NATO bombing raids and sanctions against the Serb people. The same war strategies of NATO in the Balkan wars (false flag massacres, nazi death squads, genocide) are now applied against the Russian people.

Yet another case of the falsity of the International Court– this one entirely obvious:
“United Nations has so far failed to re-count the ballots to determine the legitimacy of either Laurent Gbagbo´s or Alessanne Outtara´s claim for the Ivorian Presidency, combined with the selective and one-sided prosecution of Laurent Gbagbo at the ICC and of military officers who were loyal to him in 2010 is symptomatic for grave systemic and procedural problems at the United Nations and the International Criminal Court at The Haag. The case against Laurent Gbagbo ought to have been dismissed on the basis of selective prosecution from the very start. His prosecution at the ICC after French involvement in the aggravation of post-election violence in Ivory Coast and the arrest with the aid of French special forces is a blatant example for the abuse of the ICC as an instrument of modo-colonialist control.”

Considering how the “court” murdered Milosovich, How they are suppressing evidence in favor of Karadzic, and how the Dutch are hiding the truth about the Malay airliner shot down in Ukraine, it is a good bet that the Vatican court of inquisition will issue a dogma of guilt.
Under the anti-Christ Talmudic Noahide laws that NATO follows, only 1 witness is needed to convict a Christian and execute him.
The mountains of “evidence” presented by the Inquisitors is just a cover story for the fact that they are prejudiced Talmud followers.
Hopefully, I am wrong and they will not condemn Karadzic.

I’m generally in agreement with criticism of the Court in this trial and overall, but I’m concerned about the increasing acceptance of “politically motivated prosecution” as a defense.
Oppositional political involvement can not become a “get out of jail free” card. How hard is it to provide yourself with this escape hatch?
One cannot depend on Courts always ruling, as they should, that this defense will fail when the accused is guilty as sin and the offense egregious, so it would be scandalous for any prosecutor general to decline to prosecute.
It would be a very stupid oligarch indeed who didn’t set up such a defense for himself in advance. (Or herself, Yulia.)

Listening to a fundamentalist Christian lecturing, I was impressed by the power and complexity of thinking that went into his predictions of the qualities that would be displayed by the anti-Christ.
People can build an architecturally impressive theory on a base of twisted emotions. Rarefied critiques of the superstructure fail to reveal the rot. My research mantra “dig for original sources” applies here too.
BTW, don’t apologize for generalizing. Toddlers find a phrase such as table “leg” hysterically funny. The ability to generalize and to understand (and automatically qualify) generalizations is usually in place by first grade.

Thank you for the article on Rwanda.
It is truely disgusting the lengths to which these people will accomodate evil,cloaking themselves in virtue,and pretending justice.
All they are doing is removing pieces from their chess board incarcerating them,at the same time earning their $100 benjamins,….truely corrupt creatures,…no humanity at all.
The only bright spot that I see, is the simple fact that they cannot picture the future.
They should fear the time when justice comes for them,and there will be ample evidence
against the judges and all the enablers.
We can see more clearly every time the Empire acts!.
It has repeatedly failed in South America perhaps because the people are more passionate and the poor have little to lose.
The constant overthrow of democratically elected heads of state,replaced by the likes of Pinochet,have shown all thinking people that the US is vile and not what it pretends to be.
Competition is supposed to be good yet companies hate it,Empires hate it too!
1945 saw Britain lose it’s Empire,Holland the same, ditto Germany and Japan and Belgium,
they want it back,Nato has morphed into a world police force,to let everyone have their own little
piece of the pie! as US client state,only Russia and China are strong enough to stand & hold.
Since the 911 coup, Russia has clawed back it’s identity,China has become the worlds biggest real economy,one not based on total militarization,together they have challenged the world hegemon, without the petro-dollar and $ reserve currency status they cannot have hegemony.
Now the AngloAmericanZionists are re-colonizing the ME and Africa,in Africa they are competing with China who does deals for resources,not like US genocides, like Russia they are sane,…not power crazed junkies like John McCain…something happened to his head in Vietnam.
We only have to look at the non-Federal Reserve heads to see the j-tribe rule always!.
White house staffers all CFR people,every administration the same,the revolving door to Goldman-Sachs and Treasury Dept.

From 1945 till today, Anglo-American empire has started, directly or via proxies, 201 out of total ~250 (over 80%!) armed conflicts on Earth, killing around 30 million people in the process! You can google it!
No one even remotely responsible ever answered for the Empire’s crimes, but anyone who does not dance to the Empire’s tunes gets on their globalist ICC “court.” You won’t hear about crimes against Serbs ever, and there were plenty of them even in the ’90 war, and far more in the WW2! No one ever heard about Bratunac and mass murdering around 3.000 Serbs including Serb women and children, but everyone has heard of Srebrenica (which happened after the Bratunac county Bosnian war hero Naser Oric’s massacres… which was a retribution for that mass killings of Serbs and done by no other than the fathers, brothers and husbands of those killed *remember Mladic’s army only had 400 professional VRS soldiers at the time of attack on Srebrenica, the vast majority of attacking VRS force was comprised of those locals which lost their love ones, and Oric’s gang was about 5.000-6.000 strong*)!
In any case, if that court” has ever been keen on persecuting the real crimes, Anglo-American empire would be the first to sit there, for no one is even close to magnitude and vastness of their crimes against humanity and violations of national sovereignties! Do you know that Croats and Bosnians were the only two nations on face of Earth that had concentration camps for children, hm? Not even Nazis had that! But those who ethnically cleansed 250.000 Serbs, and those who were committing crimes even against Serbian women and children – who were directly leading them! -, have all been freed (and had not been prior even convicted of their crimes), whereas those who never held any office or led any armies get sued under accusations of “verbal delict” for 13 yrs! The Empire, or those running it that is, must think that the whole world is stupid and they can do whatever they want to! It’s up to us to show them the error of their ways, just like the great freedom fighter – Chetnick vojvoda Vojislav Seselj – has done so to their “court.” Shame the readers here do not understand Serbian, for you could see for yourself how Vojvoda destroys the Empire… how he reveals those “witnesses” were lying, in many cases encouraged, and in some even paid, to lie!

ANONYMOUS: Thank you for http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/bankrupt-germany.php
So many people think that gold is a panacea; this link proved otherwise.
Every time I hear that the Russians are looking for foreign investments into Russia I wonder if they will EVER begin issuing their own investment credits. Why should they think someone else’s fiat currency on which they must pay interest is better than their own fiat currency?

Hartelijk bedankt voor uw artikel. Ik lees het pas. Verschoon toch mijn zwakke grammatica. Ik bereid nu een opsomming van de boek Justice Belied voor. Ik zal hier een kennisgeving laat als het voltooid en gepost zijn.
Thankfully,for the lovers of justice,this article reports no compromised procedures in the trial of Dr Karadzic.
Regretfully, it is tainted justice when only the losers in a war are brought to trial for war crimes that were committed.
Dr karadzic does not dispute that a massacre did occur. He is basically claiming he bares no responsibility for it.
Someone or some persons in authority have to be held responsible for either authorizing the massacre, or for allowing it to happen,or for tacitly supporting it by not disciplining those who carried it out.
The former President of the Bosnian Serb Republic and the military leader of the
Bosnian Serb forces are the appropriate persons to be made to account for their actions relating to the massacre. Bringing them to trial is completely justifiable.
If Dr karadizc was no mere patriot, but was a rabid ultra nationalist who fanned the flames of ethnic hatred to the point where Bosnian Serb soldiers felt justified and politically supported in taking part in the mass killing, then he shares responsibility for the massacre.
I actually hope He was a genuine patriot. For it is awful to think that a physician could have so little regard for the Hippocratic Oath and its dictum,’Above all,do no harm.’
but mostly I hope, through a fair and transparent legal process, beyond a reasonable doubt,Dr Karadzic is shown by his past statements and actions to be either a patriot or a ultra nationalist. Then some justice would have been done.AnonAnon
