I regret not to share the position of the Court’s majority as to the determination of the facts as well as the reasoning conducive to the three resolutory points, nor to its conclusion of resolutory point No. 2, of the Judgment it has just adopted today, 3 February 2015, in the present case concerning the Application of the Convention against Genocide, opposing Croatia to Serbia. My dissenting position encompasses the adopted meth- odology, the approach pursued, the whole reasoning in its treatment of issues of evidential assessment as well as of substance, as well as the con- clusion on the Applicant’s claim. This being so, I care to leave on the records the foundations of my dissenting position, given the considerable importance that I attach to the issues raised by Croatia and Serbia, in the course of the proceedings in the cas d’espèce, in respect of the interpreta- tion and application of the 1948 Convention against Genocide, and bear- ing in mind that the settlement of the dispute at issue is ineluctably linked, as I perceive it, to the imperative of the realization of justice. 2. I thus present with the utmost care the foundations of my own entirely dissenting position on those aspects of the matter dealt with by the Court in the Judgment which it has just adopted, out of respect for, and zeal in, the faithful exercise of the international judicial function, guided above all by the ultimate goal precisely of the realization of justice. To this effect, I shall dwell upon the relevant aspects concerning the dispute brought before the Court which form the object of its present Judgment, in the hope of thus contribut- ing to the clarification of the issues raised and to the progressive development of international law, in particular in the international adjudication by this Court of a case of the importance of the cas d’espèce, under the Convention against Genocide, in the light of fundamental considerations of humanity. 3. Preliminarily, I shall address the regrettable delays in the adjudica- tion of the present case, and, as to jurisdiction, the automatic succession of the 1948 Convention against Genocide as a UN human rights treaty, and the continuity of its obligations, as an imperative of humaneness (principle of humanity). Once identified the essence of the present case, I shall consider State responsibility under the Convention against Geno- cide.

  • The-Prijedor-Genocide 1
    PART 1. THE PRIJEDOR GENOCIDE The Prijedor genocide [1][2][3] , refers to numerous war crimes committed during the Bosnian war by the Serb political and military leadership mostly on Bosniak civilians in the Prijedor region of Bosnia-Herzegovina. After the Srebrenica genocide, it is the second largest massacre committed during the Bosnian war in 1992. Around 5,200 Bosniaks and Croats from Prijedor are missing or were killed during the massacre period, and around 14,000 people in the wider region of Prijedor (Pounje). [4] Contents • 1 Background • 2 Political developments before the takeover • 3 Takeover • 4 Armed attacks against the civilians o 4.1 Propaganda o 4.2 Strengthening of Serb forces o 4.3 Marking of non-Serb houses o 4.4 Attack on Hambarine o 4.5 Attack on Kozarac • 5 Camps o 5.1 Keraterm camp o 5.2 Omarska camp o 5.3 Trnopolje camp o 5.4 Other detention facilities • 6 Killings in the camps • 7 References • 8 See also • 9 External links Background Following Slovenia’s and Croatia’s declarations of independence in June 1991, the situation in the Prijedor municipality rapidly deteriorated. During the war in Croatia, the tension increased between the Serbs and the communities of Bosniaks and Croats. Bosniaks and Croats began to leave the municipality because of a growing sense of insecurity and fear amongst the population which was caused by Serb propaganda which became increasingly visible. The municipal newspaper Kozarski Vjesnik started publishing allegations against the non-Serbs. The Serb media propagandised the idea that the Serbs had to arm themselves.

  • Utjecaj Srbijanske Oru@Ane Agresije Na Etni^Ke Promjene U Vukovarsko- -Srijemskoj @Upaniji Od 1991
    UTJECAJ SRBIJANSKE ORU@ANE AGRESIJE NA ETNI^KE PROMJENE U VUKOVARSKO- -SRIJEMSKOJ @UPANIJI OD 1991. DO 2001. GODINE Dra`en @IVI] Institut dru{tvenih znanosti Ivo Pilar, Zagreb UDK: 314.9:323.1>(497.5-35 Vukovar)"1991/2001" Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 4. 11. 2002. U ovome su prilogu nazna~ene najva`nije promjene u etni~koj strukturi stanovni{tva Vukovarsko-srijemske `upanije izme|u 1991. i 2001. godine. S obzirom na dostupnost podataka iz posljednjega popisa stanovni{tva iz 2001. godine, navedene su se promjene mogle analizirati i prikazati samo na razini `upanije u cijelosti te na razini njezinih upravno-teritorijalnih sastavnica (gradova i op}ina). No i ti su pokazatelji potvrdili da je etni~ki sastav stanovni{tva ove `upanije u posljednjem desetlje}u do`ivio odgovaraju}e promjene, koje se mogu definirati blagim porastom broja i ne{to sna`nijim porastom udjela Hrvata u ukupnom stanovni{tvu `upanije te na razini ve}ine gradova i op}ina; sna`nim padom broja i udjela nehrvatskih etni~kih skupina, me|u kojima se po svojemu demografskom regresu osobito isti~e srpska etni~ka skupina; daljnjom etni~kom homogenizacijom `upanije u smislu sve nagla{enije hrvatske ve}ine, koja se zapravo mo`e pratiti kroz cijelo XX. stolje}e, a koju su nedvojbeno potvrdili i rezultati popisa stanovni{tva iz 2001. godine. Najva`niji vanjski ~imbenik suvremenih etni~kih promjena u Vukovarsko- -srijemskoj `upaniji bila je srbijanska oru`ana agresija, koja je u ovome prostoru potaknula dinami~na migracijska gibanja. Fenomeni prognani{tva, izbjegli{tva, ekonomske emigracije i iseljavanja Srba – uz izravne demografske gubitke zbog rata – uvjetovali su ne samo pad broja pripadnika pojedinih etni~kih skupina u `upaniji nego i depopulaciju ukupnoga stanovni{tva toga kraja.

    Recent Developments Proving Genocide: The High Standards of the International Court of Justice. By Peter Tzeng On February 3, 2015, the International Court of Justice rendered a final judgment in the Croatian Genocide case.' Between 1991 and 1995, ethnic Serbs and Croats had systematically killed, tortured, and raped members of each other's ethnic group on Croatian territory. 2 The Court thus found that the actus reus of genocide (genocidal acts) had been established,3 but it applied very high standards of proof for establishing the dolus specialis of genocide (genocidal intent),4 leading it to dismiss both Croatia and Serbia's claims of genocide.5 Since the Court's first pronouncement of the high standards of proof for genocide in the 2007 Bosnian Genocide case, 6 many commentators have criticized it,7 while others have expressed their support.8 Yet even this latter group of commentators would acknowledge that the standards, even if completely justifiable, have not been adequately justified by the Court. In accordance with the civil law tradition,9 the International Court of Justice has historically refrained from articulating consistent standards of proof°10 Instead, it has employed flexible terminology such as "(in)sufficient, "satisfqying],," 2 "convincing,"' 13 "conclusive,"' 14 and 1.
