  • Amended Indictment
    THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA CASE NO. IT-95-14/2 THE PROSECUTOR v. Dario KORDIC Mario CERKEZ AMENDED INDICTMENT The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, pursuant to her authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ("The Statute of the Tribunal"), charges: Dario KORDIC Mario CERKEZ with Crimes Against Humanity, Grave Breaches of the Geneva Conventions and Violations of the Laws or Customs of War. BACKGROUND 1. The events alleged in this indictment took place against the background of the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. The Republic of Croatia declared its independence on 25 June 1991, the implementation of which was suspended until 8 October 1991. The Republic of Croatia was recognized by the European Community on 15 January 1992, and admitted by the United Nations as a member State on 22 May 1992. The Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence on 3 March 1992, and was recognized by the European Community on 6 April 1992, and admitted by the United Nations as a member State on 22 May 1992. 2. At times relevant to the indictment, the Croatian Democratic Union (the "HDZ") was a principal and influential political party in Croatia. Some of the HDZ’s stated goals were to establish "the sovereignty of the Croatian people" and their "inalienable right to self-determination -- including the right to secession -- of the entire Croatian nation inside its historical and natural borders," and to promote "the economic and spiritual association between .

  • The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism”
    The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism” Davor Marijan War Museum, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Abstract The author in this study does not intend to provide a comprehensive account of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in part because the cur- rent level of research does not enable this. The only way to understand this conflict is through facts, not prejudices. However, such prejudices are particularly acute amongst Muslim-Bosniac authors. They base their claims on the notion that Serbs and Croats are the destroyers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that both are equally culpable in its destruction. Relying on mainly unpublished and uncited documents from the three constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author factually chal- lenges basic and generally accepted claims. The author offers alternative responses to certain claims and draws attention to the complexity of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been mainly viewed in terms of black or white. The author does, however, suggest that in considering the character of the war it is necessary to examine first the war in Croatia and the inter-relationship between the two. The main focus is on 1992 and the Muslim and Croat differences that developed into open conflict at the beginning of 1993. The role of the international community in the war and the partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also discussed. At the end of the 20th century in Europe and the eclipse of Communism from the world political scene, it is not easy to trace the indelible marks left behind after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the wars that ensued.

Allcock* INTRODUCTION There has been widespread debate over the possible causes of the break­ up of the former Yugoslav federation, encompassing a broad choice of political, economic and cultural factors within the country, as well as aspects of its in­ ternational setting, which might be considered to have undermined the in­ tegrity of the state. Relatively little attention has been paid, however, to the importance of rural-urban differences in the development of these social and political conflicts. I set it out in this paper to remind the reader of the impor­ tance of this dimension of the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, al­ though within the format of a brief article it is possible to do no more than il­ lustrate a hypothesis which will certainly require more rigorous empirical examination.
