Kriegsverbrechertribunal in Den Haag: Strafe fürs Ausplaudern

Eine ehemalige Mitarbeiterin des Jugoslawien-Tribunals ist zu 7.000 Euro verurteilt worden. Ihr Vergehen: Sie hat Infos über die Suche nach Karadzic und Mladic veröffentlicht.

SPLIT taz | Es ist schon ein bemerkenswerter Vorgang, dass die ehemalige Sprecherin der früheren UN-Chefanklägerin Carla del Ponte am Montag ausgerechnet vom UN-Kriegsverbrechertribunal in Den Haag zu einer Geldstrafe von 7.000 Euro verurteilt worden ist.

Die Institution, die Kriegsverbrechen sühnen soll, beschuldigte die ehemalige Journalistin der Zeitung Le Monde, Florence Hartmann, "wissentlich vertrauliche Informationen" des Gerichts für das ehemalige Jugoslawien weitergegeben zu haben.

Richter Bakone Moloto warf Hartmann vor, genau gewusst zu haben, dass sie damit gegen die Regeln des Tribunals verstieß. Das Gericht blieb jedoch weit unter der von der Staatsanwaltschaft angedrohten Haftstrafe von sieben Jahren und 100.000 Euro Geldstrafe. Als strafmildernd sah es das Gericht an, dass einige der von Hartmann preisgegebenen Informationen bereits bekannt waren.

In ihrem Buch "Friede und Bestrafung" hatte Hartmann erklärt, Frankreich, die USA, Großbritannien und Russland hätten die mutmaßlichen serbischen Kriegsverbrecher Radovan Karadzic und Ratko Mladic geschützt oder nichts getan, um die beiden festzunehmen, obwohl deren Aufenthaltsort bekannt gewesen sei.

Nach Abschluss des Dayton-Abkommens am 14. Dezember 1995 hätten die Großmächte wiederholt die Aufenthaltsorte von Karadzic und Mladic gekannt. Karadzic habe unter den Augen der Nato und mit finanzieller Hilfe aus Belgrad in Bosnien gelebt. Ein französischer Offizier, Hervé Gourmelon, habe sich in seiner Funktion als Liaisonoffizier der UNO regelmäßig mit ihm in Pale getroffen.

Del Ponte habe festgestellt, dass Mladic ganz offen in Bosnien und ab 1997 in Serbien gelebt habe. Das Haager Tribunal habe sogar seine genaue Adresse gekannt und an die Geheimdienste weitergegeben, so auch an die CIA.

Hartmann schrieb weiter, während des Milosevic-Prozesses hätten der frühere Ankläger des Haager Tribunals, Geoffrey Nice, verlangt, eine Anklage gegen Milosevic wegen des Srebrenica-Massakers fallen zu lassen. Die USA hätten zudem dem Gericht Telefonmitschnitte vorenthalten, die seine direkte Verwicklung darin bewiesen hätten.

Die Verteidigung argumentierte, Hartmann habe in ihrem Buch lediglich Fakten, die schon bekannt waren, zusammengestellt. Dies hätte das Gericht leicht nachprüfen können. Auch die taz berichtete Ende 1997 über Hervé Gourmelon, dem bis heute von der französischen Regierung Redeverbot auferlegt ist, und über die Hinweise, der Aufenthaltsort der Kriegsverbrecher sei den westlichen Geheimdiensten bekannt. Immerhin wurde Karadzic vergangenes Jahr in Belgrad verhaftet. Unterstützerkomitees für Hartmann erklärten, die frühere Journalistin habe "nur ihren Job gemacht."

Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot

Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case

(The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images)

 

This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr karadzic and

others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.

 

Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states

instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as

with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United

Nations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts

for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in

Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and

others.

 

I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to

establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal

corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of

legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND

judicial appointments, for monetary funding.

 

Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal was

not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud

and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we

contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and

other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its

decisions.”

 

((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative

from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for

international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives

present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate

topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked!

The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."

 

Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is,

bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate

topic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that I

attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent

international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

 

In particular., since "Spain" was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading

financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts

in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, "Spain" must have

already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was "socially acceptable" for

conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC

before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.

 

SPAIN's diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is,

disgusting morally!

 

SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN

"INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT."

 

I remind everyone, when I attended those ICC Preparatory Meetings in 2001, witnessing

first hand the country plenipotentiary representatives present with me discussing so

openly, trading judicial funding of a new international criminal court, for its direct

judicial appointments and judicial verdicts, those same state powers were

 

concurrently,

 

those same countries and people were already simultaneously, funding the already

established ICTY which was issuing at that time, arrest warrants for Bosnian Serbs

under false primary diplomatic pretenses.

 

The ICTY and ICC is just where it should be for once.

Cornered and backed into and an international wall, scared like a corned animal (and I

bet it reacts in the same way a rabid cornered animal does too in such circumstances).

(Documents: Hague war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has destroyed all material evidence about the monsterous KLA Albanian/KLA organ trade in Kosovo)

 

I believe strongly that ICYU assocaites murdered former Serb President, Slobodan Milosevic, tried to murder

me, as well and other Serbs prisoners and presently places , Doctor Radovan Karadzic’s

life in direct danger as well as Ratko Mladic’s life in danger should he be brought there.

 

The ICTY has no other choice than to halt all further court proceedings against, Doctor

Radovan Karadzic, and others there both serving sentences and awaiting trials.

Miss JIll Louise Starr (The UN Security Council has no choice but to act on this now).

 

I accuse the Hague ICTY war crimes tribunal of attempted assassination on my life and others, contempt of court and obstruction of international justice and "international witness tampering" in complicity with Richard Holbrook and Bill Clinton (Former US President of the USA) as well as political playersin Spain and the Netherlands .

 

I represented the state interests' of the Former Yugoslavia, in Darko Trifunovic’s

absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.

Die Staaten und ihre Geheimdienste lassen Kriegsverbrecher frei rumlaufen und eine Journalistin die darüber berichtet wird verurteilt. Pressefreiheit?
