On this day, March 24, 1999, the United States and Europe destroyed the foundations of international law,
With the help of bombs and missiles of NATO troops bombing Yugoslavia. 40 thousand air raids, 400 thousand bombs – thousands were killed, including hundreds of children, thousands of destroyed objects: houses, factories, universities, schools, kindergartens, temples and monasteries.
On the same day, but in 2016, the International Tribunal for Yugoslavia sentenced Serbian leader Radovan Karadzic to 40 years in prison. He was charged with the genocide of Muslims in Srebrenica. However, there is not a word in the accusation that three years before these events Srebrenica was half Serbian, until the city was captured by the Islamic guard of Aliya Izedbegovic. And that this guard killed and expelled almost all Serbs from the city. Izedbegovic has been fully acquitted by the Tribunal.
Not a word is said about the fact that a civil war had been going on for three years, that the Muslim division of Nasser Oric in the vicinity of Srebrenica destroyed about 200 Serbian villages.
The last ones were the Serbs who defended themselves. By the way, the Albanian field commander Hashim Thaci, whom the prosecutor of the Tribunal del Ponte accused of trafficking in organs of captured Serbs, was not only acquitted, but was also appointed prime minister of Kosovo, created on the Serbian lands.
Yugoslavia is a lesson that there is a very thin line between separatism and the people’s right to self-determination. It is practically absent. Who are you – a separatist or a self-determined people, is determined by the United States on our planet at its own discretion.
And that’s all there is to know about international law and the principles of international justice.
