THE HAGUE -- The International Court of Justice today decides on Bosnia’s genocide lawsuit against FRY.
The lawsuit, brought against the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) in 1993, claims that FRY was responsible for alleged genocide that took place during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia.
The United Nation’s highest court’s ruling in the case will be presented to the public on February 26, by Judge Rosaline Higgins, on behalf of a panel of 15 judges.
Belgrade daily Blic reports today quoting from sources close to the court that Serbia will not be found guilty of having committed genocide against Bosnia.
The daily reports the International Court of Justice will rule that although war crimes against the Bosniaks and Croats have undoubtedly been perpetrated by Serbs, Bosnia’s lawsuit will be rejected on grounds of insufficient evidence that genocide took place on a state level.
The former state union of Serbia and Montenegro (SCG) disputed the International Court of Justice’s jurisdiction in the case, stating that at the time the lawsuit was brought against it, FRY was not a UN member-state.
The country’s legal team also rejected claims that genocide took place in Bosnia, and that official Belgrade could be held responsible for the crimes that occurred during the war in that country.
HEADLINE: United Nations Human Rights Monitor Loses Mandate, Claims U.S. Pressure
INTRO: A university law professor says his position as an independent U.N. human rights investigator in Afghanistan was abolished under diplomatic pressure from Washington. The United States denies the charge, saying the human rights situation in Afghanistan has sufficiently improved to the point that a special monitor is no longer needed. VOA correspondent Gary Thomas reports from Washington.
TEXT: Charif Bassiouni says his job as a U.N. independent expert on human rights in Afghanistan was not renewed late last month because of his attempts to look into alleged rights abuses by U.S. forces.
Mr. Bassiouni, a professor of law at DePaul University in Chicago, had expected a routine two-year renewal by the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights when his mandate expired last month. But, talking from his Chicago office, Mr. Bassiouni, who had previously served as chairman of the U.N. Security Council's commission investigating war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, says he was warned that there was diplomatic pressure not to extend his Afghan mandate...

Well not really although it is unusual they last as along as he has. I have run into him before and a few others. But I do know what you mean you normally discuss things with logical people here, however; there are dhimmi excuse making fools many in government itself.
I really come here to read and occassionally post but its a waste of time to even talk with people who don't understand that TROP is at war with the world and Kosovo is the next Afghanistan in the making, thanks to BJ Clinton.
So, it's rather hypocritical that a citizen of a country which doesn't recognize the court for itself (U.S.) will use that court to attack another country. This shows it is being used vindictively and as a political weapon.
He later resigned from the case - after it got going - and some speculated it might be because he is ethnic Irish and dabbled in some issues concerning the IRA or something.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_BoyleDr. Francis Anthony Boyle, is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School. He also received a Ph. D. in political science from Harvard University.
Between 1988 and 1992 Boyle was a member of the board of Amnesty International USA. He threatened to sue Amnesty for what he perceived as bias in its coverage of abuses against Palestinians' human rights; he has since been a critic of the organization. Boyle also charged that Amnesty's staff had been infiltrated by US and UK security services (see Covert Action interview below).
From 1991 to 1993, Boyle was a legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Boyle is currently attorney of record for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and a member of the Nobel Peace Prize for Governor George H. Ryan Committee.
Professor Boyle is a controversial figure at the University of Illinois. He worked to prevent a war between the United States and Libya in the 1990s, and speaks fondly of his interactions with Muammar al-Qaddafi. Professor Boyle has taken a strong stand against the actions taken by the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq following the September 11, 2001, attacks. He nevertheless maintains a highly visible public profile for a law professor, making appearances on such interview shows as Fox's The O'Reilly Factor and Moneyline with Lou Dobbs.
Boyle is a United States citizen, but also holds honorary citizenship of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which he received in 1993 while he was an adviser to Bosnian war-time president Alija Izetbegoviæ.
Boyle has also taken a strong stand in favor of Hawaiian independence and against a University of Illinois "pub crawl" that occurs on St. Patrick's Day, arguing that the latter is offensive to persons of Irish nationality. In the former he uses a resolution signed by former U.S. President Bill Clinton apologizing for U.S. involvement in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy as justification for Hawaiian independence. In the latter, he filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, claiming that he had to endure a "hostile work environment."[1]
In 2002, Boyle protested a speech by Ruth Wedgwood, a law professor performing consulting work for the Bush administration, by equating her advocacy of military tribunals in the War on Terror to kangaroo courts. He underlined this point by accompanying an individual dressed in an anthropomorphic kangaroo costume, referred to as "Wedgie the Kangaroo".
More recently Boyle has been on the vanguard of movement to impeach U.S. President George W. Bush.
Francis Boyle: 9/11 was allowed to happen, anthrax was inside job
International law and war crimes expert Francis A Boyle says 9/11 was allowed to happen, war on terror is facilitating the downfall of The Republic, concentration camps are in place and US citizens are the targets...

It's good to see Bassiouni, who is a most successful islamist underminer, taken down a peg for once!
But he needs to be exposed, and all that he has done to destroy our country and our civilization needs to be dismantled!!!!
The US DOES recognize the International Court of Justice (aka World Court) where the suit was brought.
It does not recognize the International Criminal "Court" (ICC, designed and championed by Cherif Bassiouni).
But our government is against the ICC for the wrong reason. If it were against it for the right reason, it would join me in saying, "Abolish ICTY"!!!
Ah, yes, the classic professional "human rightser" and total Dhimmwit!!!!
The other one of his ilk who was also an honorary citizen of "Bosnia-Herzegovina", and of Sarajevo, was the late lesbian "intellectual" Susan Sontag.
The Karbala incident was done by arabs that had a few Chechnyans in the mix. There were a few that were "blonde"... go figure, ehh?
It makes no difference what you give hippylite, he has an agenda and even if you had photo's, trial witnesses face to face with the boy, it would make no difference. Its a total waste of time. However, the one good part is that you can use this individual when you need to as a conduit to express your facts and spread the truth. He is a vehicle to use for this purpose. :) You are right on target and I agree with you completely.
my gosh it was hilarious he was attempting to spread more lies and using that picture as it were "today". lol
Try this one...and thoughout the day, I will submit more as they are found.

"ACTOR'S VOICE, HICKS' AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE INTERVIEW: At that time Kosovo was dominating the media and after watching that I just had something inside that said I had to go and do that, like a spur of the moment sort of thing. I was watching the briefings. I found out there was one group and they were training in northern Albania. They were going into Kosovo and I realised that maybe, at a wild guess, I could go there and try it and I did it. To me that was doing the impossible.
DEBBIE WHITMONT: But by the time David Hicks got there, the war in Kosovo between Serbia and Kosovo's Albanian majority was almost over. Hicks trained for four weeks with the KLA and signed up with NATO. But then there was a peace deal and Hicks and other foreign volunteers were sent home under NATO orders. This photo was taken in Albania on his first day of training - as a posed souvenir - with weapons borrowed from a storeroom.
MAJOR MICHAEL (DAN) MORI, HICKS' MILITARY ATTORNEY: If you actually look at that time, the KLA was being supported by the United States of America, um, there were rallies within the United States supporting the KLA.
DEBBIE WHITMONT: Major Dan Mori, a marine, is the lawyer appointed by the Defense Department to represent David Hicks. Mori has been to the Balkans. He says Hicks never even made it to Kosovo - he never got across the Albanian border.
MAJOR MICHAEL (DAN) MORI, HICKS' MILITARY ATTORNEY: I've been to Kosovo. I spoke to people that knew him from when he got there, the day he left and David Hicks never fought in Kosovo.
DEBBIE WHITMONT: Though the KLA were Muslims, David Hicks, at that stage, wasn't. He told the Australian Federal Police he joined the KLA to help the Kosovo people.
they are eat up with it.....Hey, Looks like I'll be leaving between now and the middle of next month.
Hang in there in watch your 6......
Let me know where you will be for Labor Day weekend. Did you check out that link for audio NPR with my vehicle discovering a daisy chain of IEDs?

This is new and the biggest bunch of brown stuff that you have ever read. It makes you wonder who is "MENTORING" them.....:)) duh!!! Internationals will shortly be on the endangered list.....as expected in 1999. It was only a matter of time and they have had PLENTY of warning. The U.S. has did nothing to control this and could of. I venture a guess that is has actually been orchestrated to happen this way with an agenda yet to be filled. The UN and EU.....lolol....right on our tail like the little puppy dogs they are. Actually we are behind the scenes actively engaged, in my humble opinion, the British insiders are pulling the strings.

"But in 1995, he traveled to Bosnia, where he served alongside al Qaeda-linked Muslim fighters. The detainee claimed he was merely the unit's cook, but he displayed knowledge of al Qaeda-linked charities and fighting units in Bosnia during the interview with FBI agents. The detainee subsequently traveled to Chechnya, another al Qaeda-linked hot-spot.
thanks for all the links!
