Thousands protest in Sarajevo against ICJ's verdict Feb 27, 2007, 15:27 GMT Sarajevo - More than five thousand people gathered Tuesday in front of Bosnian state building in downtown Sarajevo to protest a decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) clearing Serbia of genocide. 'We are dissatisfied and disappointed with the ICJ's ruling. We are unhappy with the fact that Serbia was not declared guilty of genocide during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina,' Izet Ganic, head of the Association of the Victims of Genocide said addressing the protesters. The Hague-based ICJ, the UN's highest judicial body, issued on Monday its ruling on the case brought before it in 1993 by Bosnia- Herzegovina against the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later Serbia and Montenegro) on the charge of genocide. According to the verdict, although Serbia was not responsible for genocide in Bosnia, it had violated the international Convention on Genocide by doing nothing to prevent war crimes in Bosnia. 'With the verdict like this, Serbia will remain a factor of destabilization in the region in the future,' said Ganic. The protesters also called on Bosnia's state institutions for immediate constitutional changes, which would forbid neglecting the genocide committed and dissolve the Bosnian Serb entity, the Srpska Republic, seen as the direct product of genocide during the country's 1992-1995 war. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur_protest_in_Sarajevo_against_ICJs_verdict +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
