KARADZIC: JUSTICE DENIED A former officer of The Office of the Prosecutor in the Hague, ICTY, exposes how and why the UN is denying justice to war crimes suspect, Radovan Karadzic.by James Luko

Thursday, September 24, 2009
The United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Office of the Prosecutor (disclosure: I worked for the ICTY Prosecutor's Office for seven years and met Karadzic in Pale in 1996 while accompanying the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Elisabeth Rehn) was in the middle of an incredibly long, and by many accounts including mine, an incompetent prosecution of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, when the accused dropped dead in the ICTY's detention center of a heart attack. Now, with Radovan Karadzic, the Prosecution is out for revenge, as Milosevic, Karadzic and General Mladic were/are the "Big Three" war crime suspects that the ICTY Prosecution has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of public money investigating and prosecuting.
The ongoing problem over the past few years has been first; Milosevic died on them, and I can reveal that some in the Prosecutor's Office were quite happy with that as they realized their preparation was poor, disorganized and generally incompetent.
Second; they (ICTY and the Serbian Government) haven't been able to capture General Mladic, who is without a doubt, according to my previous interactions with the Serbian Ministry of Justice, closely guarded and protected by a dominant faction of the shadowy parallel government security forces whom even the Serbian government fears.
Third; Karadzic (aka the amazing healer, Dr. Dragan David Dabic- his alias while in hiding) has been on the run since his indictment for war crimes, including genocide, by ICTY in 1996. Dr. Karadzic was the President of Republika Srpska (the Serbian controlled part of Bosnia) from 1992 until 1996, when, under pressure of the United States, he agreed to resign and depart from the public eye in return for "political" immunity. This public caveat at the time, did not include, any immunity from any future criminal prosecutions, although, Karadzic claims that the U.S. did make assurances of his criminal immunity. On this point, I would tend to believe his claim- as there is a fair amount of solid circumstantial evidence, aside of which I myself, was involved in an operation in cooperation with British Forces in Banja Luka Bosnia in 1997 which was on the verge of capturing Karadzic when in consultation with London the operation was canceled. (see a brief account of this incident covered by the UK Telegraph newspaper)[link edited for length]
Hiding in Belgrade Serbia under the alias of Dr. Dabic, Karadzic was arrested last year and transferred to the Hague's (ICTY) custody. The trial is now set to begin, after numerous delays, October 19, 2009, and a few days ago the ICTY Chambers (the Court) asked the Prosecution to "trim" the 11 count indictment, in light of the previous trial of Milosevic which was a multi-year fiasco. The Prosecution has declined to "trim" the number of counts in the indictment, "claiming" a reduction in charges will prevent the case from encompassing the full scope of his [alleged] crimes. I do not believe this is a "sincere" answer to the Chambers, as its quite common to abridge trials in order to serve a larger justice of achieving some objectives rather than creating a massive, disorganized circus that completely violates the right of a speedy trial.
The main point here is that there are two main reasons why now the Prosecution does not wish to abridge the indictment count. The first reason is almost a type of "revenge" for the inability to prosecute Milosevic, the first big fish, and the inability to capture and prosecute the other big fish, General Mladic. So, Karadzic is the one the Prosecution can "crucify" in place of the other two. The Prosecution needs to nail Karadzic to the cross on as many charges as possible, especially genocide in Srebrenica to justify its very existence. The primary purpose of the ICTY, its raison d'etre, is to prosecute those at the highest levels of responsibility in order to serve as an example to others around the world lest they repeat the same crimes thinking that as leaders of a sovereign nation they are untouchable. (In such concepts of command responsibility for crimes committed during the war in Bosnia , note the absence of indictments against Franjo Tudjman- former strongman leader of Croatia, now dead, and Alija Izetbegovic- former President of Bosnia, also now dead – this is the West's concept of "selective" justice).
The second reason the Prosecution does not wish to reduce the charges is trial strategy, knowing in advance, and in my person opinion, a very weak prosecutorial structure (disorganized- inconsistent) as well as immense lack of professionalism in some aspects of the investigation, the Prosecution has created a gross inequality of arms, another substantial violation of judicial rights for the accused. This strategy, to compensate for the Prosecutors shortcomings mentioned above, is to "overwhelm" the accused with a massive case for which the meager resources of Karadzic (he is defending himself and has some assistance from various lawyers including the talented American lawyer Peter Robinson) cannot but hope to deal with the thousands of pages submitted and the number of witnesses the Prosecution will present.
In such a precedent setting case, of monumental historical significance, it's incredulous how unequal the resources are, in budgets and manpower, it would be virtually impossible, guilty or not guilty, to professionally and competently defend on all counts. In my professional opinion, the indictments should be abridged to make a case which can be completed within a years time.
As it is now, the accused's fundamental rights to a fair trial are being violated by a gross inequality of arms and lack of a speedy trial.
A point to make clear, I worked sincerely on the efforts to investigate and prosecute Karadzic, and, if guilty due to chain of command responsibility and/or direct orders, I am the first to demand justice for the war crimes- extra-judicial killings, mass murder, expulsions, ethnic cleansing (although I disagree with the charge of genocide in Srebrenica- it was not genocide). However, as our core belief in working for the ICTY was and is "justice" it's a mockery of our efforts, a slap in our face, for the people in the Hague, who didn't even serve in the field taking the risks during and after the war as many of us did, to now prosecute and convict Karadzic using tactics which are major violations of UN, International and European laws, (right of speedy trial and equality of arms). Justice, can NOT be attained via unfair trials using illegal methods and at this time, this is what the UN ICTY Prosecution is doing, this is Justice Denied.

Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case
This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.
Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others.
I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.
Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its decisions.”
((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked! The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."
Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is, bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate topic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that I attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
In particular., since "Spain" was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, "Spain" must have already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was "socially acceptable" for conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.
SPAIN's diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is, disgusting morally!

James, I'd be churious to hear your thoughts, do you think Geoffrey Nice was an MI6 agent? How many people who work for the OTP and the Tribunal have loyalties that lie elsewhere (i.e. what percentage are foreign agents and spies)? A friend of mine was told by Graham Blewitt that it was an open secret that a lot of the Americans at the Tribunal made very frequent trips to the US Embassy in The Hague.
In fact, one of my upcoming articles here will touch on the question you're asking, however, I can say that I met and worked with Geoffrey Nice on several of his visits to the ICTY OTP Office in Belgrade. He was/is a very gracious person, intelligent and kind. Although I would not rule out him having been or is an MI6 agent, I dont' think his position at the Tribunal really called for it. Related to this, I can say that the vast majority of those who worked for national intelligence agencies, while working for us at the same time, were in the Tribunal's "military analysis" section. Also, some lead investigators and several senior OTP members were working for their national intelligence agencies. This ofcourse, means not only their loyalties lie elsewhere, but who were they taking orders from- the Tribunal- the UN, as they should have and agreed to in their contract with the United Nations, or , their home intelligence units. Everyone who was anyone, who knew anything made 'frequent' trips to their Embassies, including myself (I briefed the American, Canadian and at times, the Dutch Embassies). The difference is, I went to give briefings, others went to "get" orders, that was the big difference.

Thanks for the reply James, Florence Hartmann wrote an editorial in the Croatian media where she said Nice was MI6. I was just churious what you thought. It seems to me there was probably a lot of "office politics" in the OTP -- just from some of the statements people have made.
I know that in Milosevic's defense there were questions about where people's loyalties were at, and who was working for who. It's interesting that the same thing existed on the other side too.
In addition to the investigators and the military analysts, do you think any of the judges may have been (or may still be) getting orders from outside the Tribunal?
Secondly, wouldn't you agree that it compromises the integrity of the investigation if the investigator has loyalties outside of the court? Couldn't that kind of thing lead to the suppression or (deliberate) misinterpretation of evidence. The investigators are the eyes and ears of the court, if a third party is in a position to manipulate the findings of the investigators they could very well lead the court to a wrong conclusion.
Diego, thanks for your comment. My position was from 1998 to 2005 with the ICTY Office of the Prosecutor (the section of the tribunal which is prosecuting Karadzic) as the 'Operations Officer' and from 2000-2004 in addition, as the Deputy Head of Office for the Tribunal's Liaison Office in Belgrade Serbia (Yugoslavia). Which means, having been there consistently for eight (8) years, I was one of the longer serving people in the field operations of the Tribunal as well as the OTP (Office of the Prosecutor). In addition, I had connections with these cases back to 1994 when I began working with the UN during the war in Bosnia and Croatia as a Political Affairs Officer and Human Rights Investigator. So, as Operations Officer and Deputy Head of Office in Belgrade, you get involved in many aspects of the cases, the people, witnesses, govt informers, three letter organizations, investigations, evidence, so , pretty much all of it. I hope Mr. Arria that answers your question about what position I had in the OTP-ICTY.
Andy,
About Mr. Nice, all I can say is that I agree with Florence.
In my "opinion" from my interactions in the dozens of cases, my opinion, and I have personally, "no doubts" that "certain" Judges lack "independence" and therefore the Chambers does not have "independence of the judiciary" which is paramount in obtaining a fair trial. I have not a single hesitation to pronounce that "third" parties "manipulated" and "directed" many "key" investigators to lead the investigations, resources, management and directions of cases to "alternate" directions.
