The Demands
of the Serbs and other honest European citizens
gathered at the Demonstration in The Hague on Vidovdan, June 28, 2003
Also, see To the President Slobodan Milosevic - The Hague
Convinced that the
ICTY at The H ague has been founded in violation of the UN Charter and
that in the situation when the International Criminal Court exists there
could be no justification of the further existence of the ad hoc tribunals;
Deeply alarmed by the fact that the ICTY depends politically and financially
on the governments which have committed or supported the aggression against
Yugoslavia, including the crime against peace, war crimes and crimes against
humanity with enormous war damages, which is in the blatant way proven
by the fact that the ICTY declined to launch an investigation and to rise
the indictments against those responsible for the mentioned crimes;
Disgusted over the mass violations of the human rights, of the provisions
of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and of the
European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, committed
by the ICTY on a daily basis, including the deaths of four detainees,
followed by no or almost no investigation;
Rejecting the violence committed or caused by the ICTY in our country,
its partiality and the attempt by the trial of the our democratically
elected leaders, of the freedom fighters and of our history, to impose
a collective guilt to the Serbian people and at the same time to amnesty
those responsible for breaking-up of our country, aggression and occupation;
Condemning the criminal abduction of the long term President of the Republic
of Serbia and of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Mr. Slobodan Milosevic,
who is on the illegal trial at The Hague, deprived of the medical care;
Expressing the strongest support to the President Milosevic, who doesn't
recognize the ICTY as a court nor its right to put him on trial, in his
heroic struggle for the truth, justice, freedom and national dignity by
which he defends all fighters for freedom and equality of the peoples,
We demand:
- Abolition of the
ICTY in the interest of justice, freedom and democracy, of the integrity
of the UN and of the peace and stability in the Balkans, since the ICTY
became a tool for the prolonged aggression and occupation of Yugoslavia
and of the Serbian people, followed by the legal sanctions against those
most responsible for the unprecedented misuse of the Law and of the
UN Organization;
- Release of the
President Slobodan Milosevic, who has been abducted and illegally detained,
who has already dismantled all the allegations of the false indictment
and who has done most for the affirmation of the truth about the Serbian
people, Yugoslavia and about the crimes committed against them;
- Release and return
to the national jurisdiction of all the ICTY detainees;
- Acceptance of
the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and of the national
courts for the crime against peace and other hardest crimes committed
through spreading of the national and religious hatred, violent secession
and its encouragement, terrorism, NATO aggression and other forms of
the criminal outside pressures and subversion, as well as for the just
war reparations;
- Bringing to an
end the pressures and interference into internal affairs of Serbia and
Yugoslavia;
- That until all the abovementioned demands will be fulfilled, it is necessary, without delay to: suspend the process against the President Slobodan Milosevic and grant him provisional release, so that he can have the required medical therapy, a period of recovery and elementary equality in preparation of his defense; cease the media campaign against him, his associates, his family and the whole Serbian people; allow all the detainees defense from freedom; dismiss all the judges from NATO countries and the Chief Prosecutor, whose partiality is notorious; cease the threatening to the freedom and democracy in Serbia.
