Legal source/authority and evidence: Prosecutor v. Pavle Strugar, Case No. IT-01-42-T, Judgement (TC), 31 January 2005, para. 282: "282. Pursuant to Article 49(1) of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions "attacks" are acts of violence against the adversary, whether in offence or in defence. According to the ICRC Commentary an attack is understood as a "combat action" and refers to the use of armed force to carry out a military operation at the beginning or during the course of armed conflict.903 […]" "903 ICRC Commentary on the Additional Protocols, p 603. See also Kordić Appeals Judgment, para 47." Prosecutor v. Dario Kordić and Mario Čerkez, Case No. IT-95-14/2-A, Judgement (AC), 17 December 2004, para. 47: "47. The term attack is defined in Article 49 of Additional Protocol I as "acts of violence against the adversary, whether in offence or in defence".49 Therefore, in determining whether an unlawful attack on civilians occurred, the issue of who first made use of force is irrelevant." "49. This definition applies to the crime of unlawful attacks against civilian objects as well." Prosecutor v. Stanislav Galić, Case No. IT-98-29-T, Judgement (TC), 5 December 2003, para. 52: "52."Attack" is defined in Article 49 of Additional Protocol I as "acts of violence against the adversary, whether in offence or in defence." The Commentary makes the point that "attack" is a technical term relating to a specific military operation limited in time and place, and covers attacks carried out both in offence and in defence.97 The jurisprudence of the Tribunal has defined "attack" as a course of conduct involving the commission of acts of violence.98" "97 ICRC Commentary, para. 4783. 98Prosecutor v. Milorad Krnojelac, Case No. IT-97-25-T, Judgement (TC), 15 March 2002, para. 54; Kunarac Trial Judgment, para. 415." Prosecutor v. Vojislav Šešelj, Case No. IT-03-67-T, Judgement – Volume 1 (TC), 31 March 2016, para. 204: 204. For the same reasons, the Chamber, by a majority, Judge Lattanzi dissenting, was not in a position to find that the following crimes were committed in the period covered by the Indictment: a. wanton destruction, or devastation not justified by military necessity of the city and homes of Vukovar;172 homes in the village of Svrake (Greater Sarajevo);173 of the city and homes in Ilijaš (Greater Sarajevo); 174 the city and homes of Mostar;175 and the villages of Donja Bijenja, Gornja Bijenja, Postoljani, Presjeka, Kljuna, Borovčići, Krusevljani, Pridvorci and Hrušta (Nevesinje municipality);176 25 Sep 2021 Page 1 of 5 172. The majority notes that, overall, concerning all the allegations of destruction, in order to nd that destruction was committed as a war crime, not justied by any military necessity, the majority rst had to be in a position to assess the proportionality of such destruction, the forces that were present and, in particular, the level of resistance offered to the Serbian forces. In the case at hand, however, the evidence in the case le only shows the actions of the Serbian forces. Under these circumstances, the majority was unable to qualify this destruction as a war crime. On the destruction in Vukovar, the majority relied on the following evidence: the Decision of 8 February 2010, Annex; Vesna Bosanac; Emil Čakalić; Dragutin Berghofer; Goran Stoparić; VS-002; VS-021; VS-051; P55; P57; P91; P183; P195; P261; P268 under seal; P275; P278; P291; P407; P594; P595; P603; P844 under seal; P845; P921; P1001; P1076; P1161 under seal; P1260; P1291; P1373 under seal; P1374 under seal; P1376 under seal; P1377 under seal. 173. The majority relied on the following evidence: Safet Sejdić; P463; P1346. 174. During the attack on Lješevo village, Serbian forces, including in particular Vaske’s unit, members of the Ilijaš TO, but also other Serbs whose afliation to a particular unit has not been established, destroyed a number of houses and barns, including those of Munib Bulbul, Ismet Omanović and Nimza Sidić. Nevertheless, the majority does not have the supplementary evidence that would enable it to establish whether a considerable amount of property was destroyed. The majority relied on the following evidence: VS-1055; VS-1111; P449 under seal; P451 under seal; P840. 175. Staring in April 1992, the JNA, which included SRS volunteers in its ranks, attacked the city of Mostar and, from mid-May of the same year, shelled the city indiscriminately with mortars for 30 hours. The majority can therefore reasonably infer that a signicant amount of property was destroyed. Nonetheless, the majority does not have sufcient evidence at its disposal to nd beyond all reasonable doubt that this destruction was not justied by military necessity. The majority relied on the following evidence: Zoran Rankić; VS-1067; C11; P31; P524; P659 under seal; P843; P846; P1052 under seal; P1074. 176. The majority relied on the following evidence: the Decision of 23 July 2010, Annex; Ibrahim Kujan; Vojislav Dabić; VS-1022; VS-1051; P483 under seal; P524; P880 under seal; P881 under seal. b. deliberate destruction of sacred sites of Muslims in Zvornik;177 of the mosque of Svrake/Semizovac and the Roman Catholic church of Semizovac, in the Vogošća municipality (Greater Sarajevo); 178 of the three mosques of Stari Ilijaš, Gornja Misoča and Donja Misoča, as well as other institutions dedicated to the Muslim or Catholic religion in the area of Ilijaš (Greater Sarajevo);179 of the Sevri Hadži-Hasan mosque and the Franciscan church in Mostar;180 and of several mosques and one Catholic church after the Serbian forces had taken control of the town of Nevesinje in June 1992.181 177. The majority relied on the following evidence: András Riedlmayer; VS-037; VS-038; P444; P1044; P1045; P1144 under seal; P1401 under seal. 178. The majority was able to establish that the mosque at Svrake/Semizovac and the Roman Catholic church at Semizovac were completely or partially destroyed. Yet, the majority does not have other information that would enable it to identify, for example, the perpetrators. The majority relied on the following evidence: Safet Sejdić; P1045. 179. The majority was able to note this destruction, but was not in a position to establish that it occurred during the period covered by the Indictment. The majority relied on the following evidence: VS-1055; P840; P1045. 180. The Chamber accepts the testimony of the expert András Riedlmayer who testied to the destruction between April and May 1992 of the Sevri Hadži-Hasan mosque in Mostar. The Chamber also accepts the evidence of Zoran Tot who said in his written statement that, in the period between March and May 1992, Srđan Ðurić, a member of the SRS volunteers, went out at night into the city of Mostar carrying two to four hand-held rocket launchers, and opened re of his own accord on the minaret of a mosque in Mostar. The majority notes that the statements of Zoran Tot and the evidence provided by Expert Witness András Riedlmayer are mutually corroborative on the destruction of the minaret of a mosque, and that this was an isolated act. The 25 Sep 2021 Page 2 of 5 majority also notes that the periods indicated by these two witnesses concerning this destruction overlap. The majority deems, nonetheless, that it is not in a position to establish a link between these two testimonies because of, on the one hand, a lack of precision between the dates indicated as the time of the mosque’s destruction and, on the other hand, even if in both cases the destruction of the minaret of a mosque is involved, the majority is not able to nd beyond all reasonable doubt that the mosque Zoran Tot described as having been destroyed by Srđan Ðurić was indeed the Sevri Hadži-Hasan mosque whose destruction is described in the expert report of András Riedlmayer. The majority nds that the Sevri Hadži-Hasan mosque in Mostar was destroyed in an isolated act, but the available evidence does not allow it to determine either the exact circumstances or the perpetrators of this destruction. Similarly, the majority notes that the available evidence does not allow it to make any precise nding on the time of the destruction of the Franciscan church. The majority is therefore unable to nd beyond all reasonable doubt that these incidents fall within the period of the Indictment. The majority relied on the following evidence: “Decision on Expert Status of András Riedlmayer”, 8 May 2008; András Riedlmayer; P843; P1044; P1045. 181. The majority relied on the following evidence: Ibrahim Kujan; András Riedlmayer; VS-1067; P524; P880 under seal; P1045; P1052 under seal. P.2. Evidence of attack occurring. A. Legal source/authority and evidence: Prosecutor v. Pavle Strugar, Case No. IT-01-42-T, Judgement (TC), 31 January 2005, paras. 100, 103: "100. Zineta Ogresta, residing at Od Sigurate Street 2 in the Old Town, and Mato Valjalo, who was staying with his father-in-law in his apartment in the Old Town on Prijeko Street,281 both saw shells falling on the fortress at Mount Srdj around or just after 0600 hours.282 Ivo Vlasica […] saw Srdj on his left where " large-scale shelling had started and a great deal of shooting"2.

INTRODUCTION UNHCR conducted a Returnee Monitoring Framework (RMF) study in the Republika Srpska (RS) between 5 January and 3 March 2000. A total of 194 interviews were carried out, covering 30 villages or towns within 12 municipalities, with minority returnees to the RS who had either fully returned or were in the process of return. The purpose of the this study was to gauge the national protection afforded to minority returnees to the RS, the living conditions of returnees, as well as the positive and negative factors which affect the sustainability of return. For example, interviewees were asked questions about security, schools, pensions, health care, etc. Through the 194 interviews, UNHCR was able to obtain information on 681 persons. Broken down by ethnicity, there were 657 Bosniacs, 13 Bosnian Croats, and 11 Other which included Serbs in mixed marriages, people of mixed ethnicity and several people of other nationalities who had immigrated to BH before the conflict. 20% of the study group was over 60 years old (elderly), 54% was between the ages of 19-59, 20% was school age (7-18 years), and 6% was 0-6 years old.

    JUDGEMENT SUMMARY TRIAL CHAMBER United Nations (Exclusively for the use of the media. Not an official document) Nations Unies The Hague, 27 March 2013 Trial Chamber Judgement Summary for Mićo Stanišić and Stojan Župljanin International Please find below the summary of the Judgement read out today by Judge Burton Criminal Tribunal for the former Hall. Yugoslavia Tribunal Pénal The Trial Chamber is sitting today to deliver its Judgement in the case of Prosecutor International pour v. Mićo Stanišić and Stojan Župljanin. I now read a summary of the Chamber’s findings. The l’ex-Yougoslavie full written Judgement will be made available at the end of today’s hearing. At the outset, the Chamber wishes to express its gratitude to counsel for the Prosecution and the Defence, the Registry staff, the Chamber’s own staff, and all others who have contributed to the conduct of this trial. The Judgement is a lengthy document, reflecting the size and complexity of this case. The trial commenced on 14 September 2009 and concluded on 1 June 2012. The Trial Chamber sat for 354 days, during which it admitted the evidence of 199 witnesses, entered 4,377 exhibits into evidence, and took judicial notice of 1,042 adjudicated facts. The concept of a Greater Serbia has a long history. One of its aspects was the extension of Serbia into those portions of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina containing substantial Serb populations. This was strongly pursued in the late 1980s and on into the 1990s. Through public speeches and the media, Serbian political leaders emphasised a glorious past and informed their audiences that, if Serbs did not join together, they would again be attacked by Ustashas, a term used to instil fear in Serbs.

Date podatke treba koristiti kao svjedočanstvo o vremenu nacionalističkih ludosti i morbidnim stranama ljudske ličnosti. Treba ih shvatiti kao upozorenje i opo- menu. Mora, jednom i konačno, pobijediti svijest o životu i slozi, zajedničkom radu za i na sreću svih ljudi. Autor Riječ urednika Istina bez teka, moralni zakoni i zvjezdano nebo nad nama ovoj knjizi riječ je i o onome o čemu se nerado razgovaralo u prohujalih pe- desetak, nešto više, pa čak, ako je bilo znalaca, i hiljadu godina. I onome Ušto jeste rečeno, već je i dokazivano i djelomice potvrđeno. Ukratko, riječ je o, a bolno je, povijesnom derivatu „cijeđenja“ Bosne i onome što nije, do kraja, objekti- vizirano i ovjereno pečatom istine, pravde i pravednosti. Upravo zbog društvene šutnje i sudara iskustava, manje ili više dokumentirane predaje i, dakako, interesa, kraj prethodne rečenice, izazivat će rogušenja oko dva navedena pojma: Pravda i pravednost. U, inače gotovo generalnom i uobičajenom politiziranju, tako svojstvenom ljudima ovih prostora, često se zaboravi, smetne ili, što da se dalje oko pravog termina kruži, jedno- stavno ne zna da nisu u pitanju sinonimi. Da je riječ o dvije različite riječi, od kojih je svaka svoje snage i samo svog značenja! U leksičku istovjetnost bi se zakleli mnogi politikusi, profesionalci i oni drugi, u svakom slučaju nedovoljno obrazovani ljudi, ali, u svojoj uobraženosti,s „izgrađenim stavom“.

    Towards an unsustainable urban development in post-war Sarajevo Jordi Martín-Díaz Department of Geography University of Barcelona Jordi Nofre Interdisciplinary Centro of Social Sciences New University of Lisbon Marc Oliva Centre of Geographical Studies. University of Lisbon Pedro Palma Centre of Geographical Studies. University of Lisbon Martín‐Díaz, J., Nofre, J., Oliva, M., & Palma, P. (2015). Towards an unsustainable urban development in post‐war Sarajevo. Area, 47(4), 376-385.doi: 10.1111/area.12175 Abstract Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is located in a karst geomorphological environment. The topographical setting strongly inßuences the urban geographical distribution and urban develop-ment, as well as the sustainability policies implemented in the city. The incorporation of an environ-mental agenda and the focus on sustainable development have characterised urban planning in cities in Central and Eastern Europe that are transitioning from socialist to capitalist economic systems. Environ-mental policies in Sarajevo are deÞned within the Sarajevo Canton Development Strategy developed under the supervision of international experts at the end of the three-and-a-half years of siege in December 1995, and this is expected to last until 2015. This paper argues that, despite the consensus achieved for developing Sarajevo through strategies aligned with European regulations for sustainability, the built environment of the city has moved in an increasingly unsustainable direction as a result of the need to deal with vulnerable groups in the population and the international policies that tend to promote a neoliberal urban development. The Þrst section of analysis focuses on SarajevoÕs existing particular geomorphological constraints on the development of a secure and sustainable built environment.
