  • Bosnia-Herzegovina Social Briefing: Bosnian Genocide Denial Ivica Bakota
    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 17, No. 3 (BH) April 2019 Bosnia-Herzegovina social briefing: Bosnian genocide denial Ivica Bakota 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Bosnian genocide denial Bosnian Genocide denial is believed to be intentional act of Republika Srpska and (to a certain extent) Serbian authorities of denying the planned systematic genocide of 6000 to 7000 Bosniaks from Eastern Bosnia following the siege and capture of Srebrenica by the Srpska Army in July 1995. Serb politicians generally deny the genocide perpetrated against Bosniaks during the Bosnian war, refute claims that Srebrenica massacre constitutes a genocide, revise a number of soldiers and civilians killed during and in the aftermath of the 1995 Srebrenica siege (arguing that the total number of killed did not exceed a half of the number claimed by Bosniak side) and even claim that the genocide is perpetrated against the Serbs during the course of the Bosnian war. As a form of denialism, it can be compared to similar non-mainstream historical revisionisms such as Armenian Genocide denial and Holocaust denial. In generally accepted view shared among foreign experts and historians, however, the Srebrenica massacre is considered as the biggest genocide that occurred in Europe after WWII. A fact exacerbating the controversy of the Bosnian genocide is that it happened relatively soon, only 24 years ago, hence is not (yet) unanimously acknowledged as a historical fact by historians and genocide scholars alike.

  • Scapegoating and the Simulation of Mechanical Solidarity in Former Yugoslavia: “Ethnic Cleansing” and the Serbian Orthodox
    Scapegoating and the Simulation of Mechanical Solidarity in Former Yugoslavia: “Ethnic Cleansing” and the Serbian Orthodox Church Keith Doubt Wittenberg University This essay is published under the above title in Humanity and Society (Vol. 31, No. 1, February 2007), 65-82. I would like to express my appreciation to Ron Berger for his insightful comments and editorial suggestions, as well as Matthew Lynch for his research assistance in the early stages of this study. Direct address correspondence to Keith Doubt, Department of Sociology, Wittenberg University, Springfield, OH 45501-0720 ([email protected]). 2 ABSTRACT In this paper I use the concept of scapegoating to explain the ritualized character of “ethnic cleansing” after the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. I provide an overview of the political background behind these events, introduce the role and influence of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and analyze the collective violence known as ethnic cleansing through the concept of scapegoating. The Serbian Orthodox Church’s use of a scapegoat paradigm to incite violence created a pseudo-sense of solidarity among the Serbian people. Although this solidarity resembles Émile Durkheim’s concept of mechanical solidarity, I question the stability of this solidarity insofar as it is based on the negativity of war crimes and genocide. Implications for understanding collective violence in other areas such as the Middle East and Iraq are drawn by way of conclusion. REFLEXIVE STATEMENT My interest in the former Yugoslavia began in 1991. I was deeply disheartened by the disturbing reports of crimes against humanity. I started to organize sessions on Bosnia at sociology conferences in Canada and the United States.

Between 1991 and 1999 the regime of Slobodan Milošević did not ban a single anti-war demonstration by nongovernmental organizations because they served as proof to the international community of his ‘democratic’ attitude towards the ‘handful’ that did not support him. The regime and its media paid little attention to the reports of domestic human rights organizations on human rights and humanitarian law violations during the armed conflict because the regime felt secure and supported by the majority of citizens. The period of the NATO bombing campaign from 24 March until 9 June 1999 united the opposition, civil society and regime. Nongovernmental organizations led the way in criticizing the international community and urging the citizens to keep their differences with the government aside as long as bombs kept dropping on the country. It was in those circumstances that several Human Rights Defenders and human rights organizations became the target of government media and secret services above all for publicly pointing out that the regime was taking advantage of the NATO campaign to settle with the Albanians. Because of its attitude during the NATO campaign, the Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC) was twice visited by members of the military security service, who threatened to bring charges of espionage against the HLC Executive Director; also, financial police examined the organization’s accounts and financial records for three weeks.

  • Hate Speech in Serbia
    YUCOM Komitet pravnika za ljudska prava / Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights 17 Svetogorska Street, 11000 Belgrade, Republic of Serbia Tel/Fax: +381 11 33 44 235; 33 444 25; 3238 980 e-mail [email protected] www.yucom.org.yu Hate Speech in Serbia This issue was supported by the National Endowment for Democracy Newsletter No.1 Attacks against Sonja Biserko as a classic example of hate speech against female human rights defenders In today’s modern world, hate speech and acts of hate stand for the promoting, glorifying or justifying crimes committed against social groups or their members because of their race, skin color, religion, national, i.e. ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, property, health or marital status, parental status, political views, age or other personal features, or the urging of such crimes; presenting or broadcasting the idea of superiority or submission of one social group or its members; using salutations, symbols, i.e. using of other means which may cause the disturbance of public order, which urge hatred against social groups and their members, or the writing of messages or symbols of a discriminatory nature in public places. Hate speech and acts of hate often have a consequence of felonies with the elements of violence, whose motive is hatred toward a certain feature, i.e. a person’s affiliation to a certain group, i.e. hate crime. Having said that, hate crime, even though it is not regulated by the Serbian legislature, in certain countries is a qualified form of all felonies with the elements of violence. For years, female human rights defenders have been targets of continuing campaigns, based both on their activities and values that they uphold.

  • Louise L. Lambrichs Abstract: for Fifteen Years, International Law Has
    1 GENOCIDE, DENIAL AND REPETITION: RESPONSIBILITIES OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE REGARDING FUTURE AND PEACE Louise L. Lambrichs Abstract: For fifteen years, International Law has been working to judge the crimes committed in Croatia and Bosnia between 1991 (the siege of Vukovar by Milosevic’s army helped by the Cetniks) and 1995 (the mass murder perpetrated by the Cetniks in Srebrenica). But in spite of enquiries and evidence, justice still has not been clearly worded and populations are still being mistreated and sometimes humiliated by those who represent Europe and International Law. Therefore, we must conclude there has been a strong misunderstanding. We will never help build a durable peace in this area without being more rigorous with the facts, their interpretation and judgements. In this paper, because the main difficulties in Bosnia and Herzegovina today are the consequences both of the war started by Milosevic and western democracies’ way of looking at this war, I will focus on two aspects: first, what deathly consequences a lack of justice could have and why International Law should, as soon as possible and in accordance with the evidence and the documentation, conclude that the Serbian state led by Milosevic was responsible for aggression against Croatia and Bosnia in 1991, and for genocide all over this area (in this respect, I will explain why there are not only crimes against humanity or mass murders, but also, rigorously speaking, a policy of genocide) ; and secondly, I would like to open the real debate, I mean, how the EU and the US could and should help to build peace in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, for the young generations.

  • Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991)
    Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991) By Harry Jack Hayball Thesis submitted to Goldsmiths College, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2015 Supervised by Professor Jan Plamper 2 Declaration All the work presented in this thesis is my own. Harry Jack Hayball Declaration 3 Abstract It is often suggested that the Serbian rebellion in Croatia in 1990-91 was orchestrated by Serbia, and, in particular, by its president Slobodan Milošević personally. Despite the popularity of this interpretation, however, the literature on the break-up of Yugoslavia is yet to offer a focused study of Serbia's role in the descent into conflict in Croatia. Many sources that have become available in recent years remain unused. Through a critical and cautious use of such sources, including extensive interviews with participants in the conflict and contemporary documentation, this thesis aims to fill this gap in the literature and to update our knowledge of this important aspect of the bloody disintegration of Yugoslavia. Honing in on Belgrade's relationships with Serb political and military/paramilitary leaders in Croatia, as well as Serbia's direct involvement in and attitude towards the road to war, it concludes that the existing focus on Milošević's Serbia has been misplaced. Serbia's stance towards Croatia was hardline, but Belgrade's influence over the Croatian Serbs was limited and its direct involvement in events minimal. Milošević did not have a grand plan to orchestrate violence in Croatia, and the leaders of the Serbian rebellion in Croatia were fundamentally independent and autonomous actors, who, far from being Milošević's puppets, were often in conflict with him.

The Fatal attraction of Serbian nationalismwritten by Sonja Biserko deals and reflects on the role of Serbian nationalism in the disintegration of Yugoslavia and its importance (the Serbian nationalism) in the Serbian political sphere since the end of Yugoslavia. Taking a occidentalist point of view, the author explains that the Serbian nationalism was the main (and unique) cause in the breakup of Yugoslavia and also the cause that prevents Serbia from transforming towards a full market oriented economy and a liberal democracy.
