Just passing this along for the heck of it.
-------------------
Dear Colleagues Thank you for your interest and offers of help with regard
to the indictment process. To recap, I am submitting -- hopefully on
Friday morning -- a detailed legal brief to the International Criminal
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, alleging that British Prime Minister
Tony Blair, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook and Defence Secretary George
Robertson have committed serious violations of the laws and customs of war
and should be investigated and indicted for these actions, which is within
the power of the Tribunal.
The first section of the submission is now on the web, at:
ban.joh.cam.ac.uk
At present, only the legal section is on the web. Over the next few days,
I will be adding detailed descriptions of some of the NATO attacks on
civilian targets, as well as those which have killed a large number of
civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law.
Although I would welcome comments on any part of the submission, I have a
number of specific requests: i) Could anybody fill me in on the details of
NATO's bombing of the refugee camp in Nis, managed by CARE Australia for
the UNHCR in late March, in which 9 people died, and for which NATO
subsequently "apologised"?
ii) What were the other offices in the 23-story tower block bombed by NATO
last week & again this morning, which hosted Pink TV, the Socialist party
of Serbia, the Left party & Kosava TV? Have all facilities been rendered
unusable?
iii) Has anybody found any especially good quotes from Blair, Cook or
Robertson on targetting economic sites within Yugoslavia? If someone could
look through the debates from the past month in the House of Commons (on
the web, through Hansard) for such statements, I would be very grateful --
this is especially important in showing these individuals' intent.
iv) Does anyone have extensive details about the damage done to the
transport network in Novi Sad? In particular, I need the dates on which the
different bridges were attacked, the names of the bridges, the prior use of
each (pedestrian / rail / car?).
v) Generally, I'm looking for cases where NATO specifically targetted
installations with little or no military use. I've got lots of details
about the bombing of the RTS Studios, but I would like more details about a
number of other sites, in particular factories. A lot of people have
mentioned the cigarette factory to me, but I haven't received any further
details - if you have more details about this, or any other factory bombed
by NATO which was not involved in the production of any weapons, I would
like to hear them.
Many thanks for any help you are able to provide to me. All these
questions will be listed at the web index (address above), and new ones
will be added over the next few days. If anybody would like me to send them
a copy of the legal argument by email instead, please drop me a line. Press
work will begin when the brief has been submitted. Please circulate the web
address, and put links to it if you have a web page!
With best wishes
Glen.
