[If you remember, the War Crimes Tribunal was all set
to investigate NATO for "Crimes Against Humanity"
for the use of cluster bombs against civilian targets
in Serbia when Clinton intervened and stopped the
investigation.]
Arrest Warrant Issued for Clinton - by Yugoslavia
NewsMax.com Wires Wednesday, April 18, 2001
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPI) - Belgrade district court surprised defense
lawyers in Serbia by issuing arrest warrants for a group of Western
leaders, including former President Bill Clinton, who were each
sentenced to 20 years in prison during the regime of ousted President
Slobodan Milosevic for crimes against humanity and international law.
The charges arose from NATO's bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999, which
followed unsuccessful international efforts in France to get the
Yugoslav government to halt the repression of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo
and an incident at a Kosovo village where Yugoslav security forces were
accused of staging a massacre.
The district court passed the sentences Sept. 21 in a move seen by the
opposition at the time as a farce deliberately timed to come three days
before the Yugoslav presidential and parliamentary elections for maximum
impact on undecided voters.
The 14 leaders convicted also included then U.S. Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright and Defense Secretary William Cohen, French President
Jacque Chirac and Premier Lionel Jospin, British Prime Minister Tony
Blair, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and foreign and defense
ministers. Both former and present NATO secretary-generals, Javier
Solana and George Robertson, and the former NATO supreme commander in
Europe, Gen. Wesley Clark, were also among the convicted.
Lawyers who were officially appointed to defend the Western leaders at
the trial were reported Tuesday to have said they believed that the case
had been shelved after the electoral victory and the popular uprising
against the Milosevic regime by republican forces in October and the
subsequent political changes in Serbia.
Lawyer Milan Kamperelic, who defended Chancellor Schroeder, said he was
surprised by the court's action because he expected the new authorities
to pardon the leaders.
Another lawyer, Slavisa Mrdakovic, said, "This formally opens the
possibility of any of the convicted leaders being arrested as soon as
they step on Yugoslav soil."
French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine and British Foreign Secretary
Robin Cook have been on visits to Belgrade since the Democratic
Opposition of Serbia took over power from the old regime without being
taken into custody. Solana, now a top European Union foreign affairs
official, also had no trouble when in Belgrade a few months ago.
Mrdakovic quoted the French ambassador in Belgrade as saying he was
stunned that the process had been continued, and confirmed that the
French government had been informed of the latest development. Last
September, Paris described the trial as legally unfounded, the
ambassador told the lawyer.
Serbian Justice Minister Vladan Batic refused to comment on the court's
action, Belgrade radio B92 reported.
