  • Annex 4: Mechanisms in Europe
    ANNEX 4: MECHANISMS IN EUROPE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Conflict Background and Political Context The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) emerged from World War II as a communist country under the rule of President Josip Broz Tito. The new state brought Serbs, Croats, Bosnian Muslims, Albanians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, and Slovenes into a federation of six separate republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia) and two autonomous provinces of Serbia (Kosovo and Vojvodina). Ten years after Tito’s death in 1980, the country was in economic crisis and the mechanisms he had designed to both repress and balance ethnic demands in the SFRY were under severe strain. Slobodan Milošević had harnessed the power of nationalism to consolidate his power as president of Serbia. The League of Communists of Yugoslavia dissolved in January 1990, and the first multiparty elections were held in all Yugoslav republics, carrying nationalist parties to power in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia.1763 Meanwhile, Milošević and his political allies asserted control in Kosovo, Vojvodina, and Montenegro, giving Serbia’s president de facto control over four of the eight votes in the federal state’s collective presidency. This and the consolidation of Serbian control over the Yugoslav People’s Army (YPA) heightened fears and played into ascendant nationalist feelings in other parts of the country. Declarations of independence by Croatia and Slovenia on June 25, 1991, brought matters to a head. Largely homogenous Slovenia succeeded in defending itself through a 10-day conflict that year against the Serb-dominated federal army, but Milošević was more determined to contest the independence of republics with sizeable ethnic Serb populations.

  • OSJI-Options for Justice-FR-11-14-2018.Indd
    ANNEXE 4 : MÉCANISMES EN EUROPE TRIBUNAL PÉNAL INTERNATIONAL POUR L’EX-YOUGOSLAVIE Historique du conflit et contexte politique La République fédérative socialiste de Yougoslavie (RFSY) était au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale un pays communiste dirigé par le président Josip Broz Tito. Le nouvel État réunissait les Serbes, les Croates, les musulmans bosniaques, les Albanais, les Macédoniens, les Monténégrins et les Slovènes dans une fédération de six républiques distinctes (Slovénie, Croatie, Bosnie-Herzégovine, Macédoine, Monténégro et Serbie) et deux provinces autonomes de Serbie (Kosovo et Vojvodine). Dix ans après la mort de Tito en 1980, le pays connut une crise économique, tandis que les mécanismes conçus par Tito pour à la fois réprimer et équilibrer les exigences des différentes ethnies en RFSY furent mis à rude épreuve. Slobodan Milošević avait profité de la force du nationalisme pour consolider son pouvoir à la présidence de la Serbie. La Ligue des communistes de Yougoslavie fut dissoute en janvier 1990, et les premières élections multipartites furent organisées dans toutes les républiques yougoslaves, amenant des partis nationalistes au pouvoir en Bosnie, en Croatie, en Slovénie et en Macédoine.1763 Entre-temps, Milošević et ses alliés politiques revendiquèrent le contrôle du Kosovo, de la Vojvodine et du Monténégro, donnant au président serbe un contrôle de facto sur quatre des huit droits de vote au sein de la présidence collective de l’État fédéral. Cet événement et la consolidation du pouvoir serbe sur l’Armée populaire yougoslave (APY) amplifièrent les craintes et contribuèrent à la montée du nationalisme dans d’autres régions du pays. Les déclarations d’indépendance de la Croatie et de la Slovénie le 25 juin 1991 précipitèrent les choses.

    Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Jim Nichol, Coordinator Specialist in Russian and Eurasian Affairs March 5, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33407 Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Summary Russia made uneven progress in democratization during the 1990s, but this limited progress was reversed after Vladimir Putin rose to power in 1999-2000, according to many observers. During this period, the State Duma (lower legislative chamber) became dominated by government- approved parties, gubernatorial elections were abolished, and the government consolidated ownership or control over major media and industries, including the energy sector. The Putin government showed low regard for the rule of law and human rights in suppressing insurgency in the North Caucasus, according to critics. Dmitry Medvedev, Putin’s longtime protégé, was elected president in 2008; President Medvedev immediately designated Putin as prime minister and continued Putin’s policies. In August 2008, the Medvedev-Putin “tandem” directed military operations against Georgia and recognized the independence of Georgia’s separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia, actions condemned by most of the international community. In late 2011, Putin announced that he would return to the presidency and Medvedev would become prime minister. This announcement, and flawed Duma elections at the end of the year, spurred popular protests, which the government addressed by launching a few reforms and holding pro-Putin rallies. In March 2012, Putin was (re)elected president by a wide margin. The day after Putin’s inauguration in May 2012, the legislature confirmed Medvedev as prime minister.
