=========================== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU INDICTMENT BY THE VIENNA TRIBUNAL (submitted to the international tribunal against NATO war crimes in New York on the fortcoming weekend) I Preamble 1) NATO, the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Spain, the Netherlands, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, France and others - after failing to force the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the so-called "peace negotiations" in Paris and Rambouillet to accept an extortionate ultimatum which in fact aimed at the occupation of the entire territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and had been declared a condition sine qua non - without a declaration of war and without a resolution by the United Nations Security Council launched warlike rocket and bombing attacks against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, deliberately murdering Serbs, Kosovo-Albanians, Roma, Muslims, Orthodox-Christians, Catholics and foreign nationals. By doing this they destroyed and damaged economic, social, cultural, medical, diplomatic and religious resources. In the course of their criminal war of aggression, NATO and the above-mentioned states cut off the population of Yugoslavia from food, water, electric energy, food production, medicines and medical services. By means of rocket and aerial bombing attacks they systematically destroyed and damaged waterworks and agricultural irrigation installations, factories, fertilisers and vegetation, pharmaceutical production works, hospitals and health service installations as well as other objects needed for human survival. The aggressors attack chemical factories, oil refineries, petrol and natural gas stores, fertiliser plants, installations and localities with the aim of releasing, on a wide scale, radioactive and other dangerous substances into the atmosphere, the soil, the ground-water and the foodchain, poison the environment and harm the population. They employed banned arms, attacked the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with rockets, bombs and missiles which contained Depleted Uranium (DU) and released radioactive substances into the atmosphere the soil, the ground-water, the foodchain as well as into solid objects, thus exposing the Yugoslav population to health hazards for generations to come. 2) With these actions NATO and the above-mentioned states violated International Law, especially art. 2 chapter 7 of the UN-Charter; the Declaration on Non-intervention; the Resolution on the Definition of Aggression, 1997 UNGA 3314; articles 52 and 53 of the Convention on the Law of Treaties of 23 May, 1969; the Treaty on the Banning of War, the Briand-Kelog-Pact of Paris, 1928, articles 1 and 2; the Hague Conventions, especially the Fourth Hague Convention of 18 October, 1907; the Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilians in Times of War, 1949; the Statutes of the Nuremberg Tribunal, principles VI a, b and c; the Geneva Additional Protocol 1977, articles 48 and 51; the Geneva Protocol on the Use of Asphyxiating, Poisonous and Similar Gases as well as of Bacteriological Substances in Wars, of 1925; the European Convention on the Peaceful Settlement of conflicts, of 29 April, 1957 and also violated national penal codes concerning murder, duresse, dangerous threat, wilful destruction, arson, damage to the environment, formation of gangs for the purpose of carrying out criminal plots and genocide. II THE VIENNA TRIBUNAL BRINGS A POLITICAL INDICTMENT AGAINST: The Federal Government of the Republic of Austria Chancellor Mag. Victor Klima Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Wolfgang SchÑœssel Minister of Defence Dr. Werner Fasslabend Former EU-Special Representative Dr. Wolfgang Petritsch, present High Representative for Bosnia Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Alois Mock a) in particular against former minister of foreign affairs Dr. Alois Mock on the basis of the well-founded suspicion of openly taking position (politically, economically and logistically) and intervening in a civil war - thereby violating neutrality - by abetting the destruction of the sovereign Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, through furthering - in contravention of international law - and politically supporting the secession by force of member republics of the SFR of Yugoslavia by way of the official recognition - in violation of international law and the status of neutrality - of member republics of the SFR of Yugoslavia which had seceded with the use of force. (Violation of the neutrality law; of the UN-Charter; of the principle regarding the obligation of non-intervention in matters which, according to the Charter, pertain to the national competence of a state; Declaration of the United Nations) b) in particular against the former EU-Special Representative Dr. Wolfgang Petritsch on the basis of his collaboration in the "peace accords" elaborated in the course of the so-called "peace negotiations" in Paris and Rambouillet, including Annex B which contains an extortionate occupation diktat postulating, as conditio sine qua non, the occupation of the entire national territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with the threat, in case of non-compliance, of immediate war actions through bombing attacks against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. (Jeopardizing of neutrality according to Austrian penal code, paragraph 320; violation of chapter 1 art. 2 and chapter 7 of the UN-Charter; the Declaration on Non-intervention of 24 October, 1970; the Briand-Kelog-Pact of 27 August, 1928; of art. 52 and 53 of the Convention on the Law of Treaties; violation of paragraphs 105, 106 of the Austrian penal code /severe duresse/) c) against the Austrian Federal Government and the above-mentioned statesmen on the grounds of the well-founded suspicion of having abetted the aggressive actions of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (see above I/1) which, having mandated itself, without decision or mandate by the Security Council, by violating the obligation under international law to renounce on the use of force in international relations and in relations among states, waged a war of aggression against the territory of a sovereign state, and thus, on the well-founded suspicion of having violated Austria's Everlasting Neutrality, enshrined in international law, by not adhering to the obligations of an everlastingly neutral state to always comport itself in times of war and of peace in a manner that excludes favouring one side of a conflict and also on the grounds of the well-founded suspicion of openly taking sides - politically, economically and logistically - in a civil war. c2) and in particular against Federal Chancellor Mag. Victor Klima and foreign Minister Dr. Wolfgang SchÑœssel on the basis of their open support for and abetting of the NATO war of aggression - violating international law - at the EU-summit in Berlin and the 50th anniversary NATO-summit in Washington. (accessory to the violation of the UN-Charter; the Briand-Kelog-Pact; the Declaration on Non-intervention; the Declaration on Non-interference; the Resolution on the Definition of Aggression; art. 22 and 23 of the fourth Hague Concention as well as of the other norms of international law set out under I/2, and of the violation of the law on neutrality) d) on the basis of the well-founded suspicion of abetting the violation of the ban on waging "ecological war" carried out by NATO - see I/1 on the perpetration of criminal actions (i.e. bombing of oil refineries, chemical factories and others, damaging and destroying installations, thereby causing negative effects on the environment, locally and regionally) as well as the use of banned weapons (cluster bombs and munition made of depleted uranium, DU) (Violation of the UN-Charter and the other norms of international law listed under I/2, in particular the 1925 Geneva Agreement on the Banning of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases; the Convention on the Banning of the Use of Means Affecting the Environment, 1977; the Geneva Convention of 12 August, 1949 on the Protection of Civilians in Times of War) e) on the basis of the well-founded suspicion that at the time of war the Austrian Federal Government did not verify violations of the Austrian air space by NATO-airforces with regard to their armaments not did it protest against such violations, although it would have been obliged to do so according to international law as well as according to Austrian neutrality law - violations which, although not authorised in this case by Austria, increased massively during that period, according to information provided by Austrian air traffic control (which fact does not elucidate how many of these overflights possibly took place in support of the NATO air war); based also on the fact repeated transits through Austria by NATO vehicles to bases in Hungary for a long time previously, which can be assumed to have been not solely "humanitarian" transports. (Violation of the 1965 Declaration on Non-intervention; of the Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of International conflicts - First Hague Convention on the Outbreak of Hostilities; of the Third Hague Convention of 18 October, 1907; of the Austrian Neutrality Law; of the Austrian Federal Law of 18 October, 1977 on the import, export and transit of war material) f) based on a well-founded suspicion of transmitting perceptions, regardless of their content of truth, pertaining to the intelligence department, regarding activities on the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, by Austrian authorities to NATO services, which fact must lead to the assumption of violation of neutrality obligations by Austria. (Violation of the Declaration of Non-interference; of the Briand-Kelog-Pact of 1928; of the UN-Charter; of the Austrian law on neutrality) g) based on the well-founded suspicion of restraining the effectuation of non-military and non-violent possibilities of conflict resolution; such as the prevention by neutral Austria of tasks ascribed to the OSCE, possibly by means of a "withdrawal order" addressed to NATO; of handing over, for the first time ever, of a mandate to a US-representative, in this case US Ambassador William Walker (during whose period as US Ambassador in El Salvador the dirty war in El Salvador, carried out with the complicity of the USA, reached its climax); failure on the part of the Federal Government to oppose the - improper - use of the OSCE in the strategic preparation of the War against Yugoslavia and the logistic support of NATO as well as failure to eliminate the suspension of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as member of the organisation with a view to favour attempts at bringing about negotiated settlements. (Violation of the stipulations of the CSCE and OSCE; of the Austrian law on neutrality; violation of the agreement on protection and compromise procedures within the OSCE, Stockholm, 15 December, 1992) h) on the basis of the well-founded suspicion of at least tacitly consenting to inflammatory reporting, especially regarding the Serbian sector of the population of the Yugoslav Republic; on the well-founded suspicion of inciting population groups on the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia against each other, especially in media subjected to public law and of omitting - on the part of the Federal Government of Austria - to intervene in order to insist on publishing denials, thus raising doubts regarding Austria's everlasting neutrality. (Violation of the braodcasting law and the Austrian neutrality law) III On the basis of the suspicion outlined above, the representatives of the preparatory committee of the Vienna Tribunal demand that the Vienna Tribunal of 4 December, 1999 indict the Federal Government of Austria and the statesmen listed above on the grounds of favouring and supporting the NATO aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and of being accessory to a conspicuous violation of international law; as well as on the well-founded suspicion of approval (which has to be rejected out of political, moral and humanist convictions) of a "New World Order" which was a consequence of this war and which contains a continuously proclaimed right of "humanitarian intervention" on the part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) that is to be carried out with the force of arms and the backing - on a global scale - of the strongest military power. The verdict will be placed at the disposal of the International Tribunal, represented by Mr. Ramsey Clark, for the general indictment before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. ***** The Vienna tribual on December 4th, 1999 has judged the persons and institutions named above to be guilty for the crimes stated. **************************** Jugoslawisch-жsterreichische SolidaritÑ„tsbewegung (JжSB) PF 217, A-1040 Wien, жsterreich Tel/Fax +43 1 924 31 61 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vorstadtzentrum.net/joesb Kto-Nr. 9282, RB Schwechat, BLZ 32823 Secretary General Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Art historian =========================== <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
