 Karadzic Misses First Day of Genocide TrialPosted on Oct 26, 2009
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was a no-show Monday at his own trial at The Hague, where he was scheduled to stand trial on charges of genocide against Bosnian Muslims in the mid-1990s. The proceedings were expected to continue Tuesday regardless of his participation, or lack thereof, in court. —KA

How, exactly, does an accused, WHO IS IN CUSTODY, not show up for trial? What prevents the court to direct that he be brought from his cell to the courtroom?

Victor’s Justice. Obviously note the absence of indictments against Former
Report thisPresident’s of Bosnia and Croatia, Izetbegovic and Tudjman. Having spend 12
years on the ground during the war in the Former Yugoslavia as a UN Human
Rights coordinator and monitor, and later as the Operations Officer for the Office
of the Prosecutor for the Hague Tribunal, there is no question that Izetbegovic and
Tudjman should have been also indicted. The prosecution on genocide charges
are a legalistic farce as well as the charges related to the shelling of Sarajevo- as
one who eyewitnessed the attacks on the Serbian surburb of Sarajevo- Grbavica
from Bosniak forces from within Sarajevo, its clear to me in the aftermath, that
Karadzic is made a victim of Victor’s Justice, might makes right. Certainly I
believe Karadzic is guilty on charges stemming from command responsibility,
however, in that context, so were Tudjman and Izetbegovic.

Its absoluut whitout sens, to take one person out of the crowd of war criminals, you make again a new shapesgoat as so many times before.
I will never forget the U.S.General who says that the Albanians- Kosovars played the NATO as a fiddel,
but the news media hat allready made out the looser and the criminals, it hat to be the Serbs and the Cristians, in the mean time the Saudi’s where building every where new Moskees.
I find it all very dubious and doubtful, if you start to think and relatively put all wath happend in context you geth an whole different picture.
And the fact that the U.S. army has the biggest base NOW in Albania, gives to think.

Karadzic stands in the dock (or will) and Bush does not. Hehehe. As if the U.S. EVER believed the principles it enforced at Nuremberg.
