Talk:Arbitration Commission of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia

message: An immense section of the article is dedicated to the criticisms of the findings of the Arbitration Commission. I’ve serched trugh the web, and found more about the author of such criticisms, Peter Radan from Australia. Well, first, this guy seems irrelevant in the international community scene, and second, he is a clearly minoritarian Serb nationalist apologist, who worked closely even with another most-known apoplogist, the Serbian-American Srđa Trifković.
My question is: is his criticisms so important to be placed in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.1.168.220 (talk) 08:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I have no opinions on his nationality or ethnicity or political views, which aren't really relevant. He has published his criticisms in a respected law journal, so I think they are worth discussing. However, I would agree that they take up too much space, and the article should merely report his criticisms rather than agreeing with them as it does at present. --SJK (talk) 04:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

text: My impression is that his criticism (both his arguments and his conclusion) is generally in accord with the prevailing view in Serbia. That would certainly be an argument for keeping the section, but not necessarily in its present form... GregorB (talk) 15:41, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

text: As tendentious as his arguments are (he ignores the fact that Serbia and the SDS challenged and violated the intra-republican borders months before Croatia or Slovenia declared independence, had declared itself an "independent and sovereign" state in September 1990 while rejecting the same right for other republics, declared that it was the 'supreme commander' of its armed forces and established a foreign ministry before anyone else, the fact the Serbia withdrew from the federation in March 1991 when it attempted to stage a coup in the federal presidency and announced that it would no longer recognise the decisions of the Yugoslav presidency, the fact that usurpted the rights of the other republics especially Bosnia-Hercegovina by forming the illegal "rump presidency", the fact that the constitution simply makes no mention of a republic's borders being an open question in the event of dissolusion or secession, the fact that the republics are defined as 'states' and 'national states', not simply 'administrative units', the fact that the constitutions state that the peoples 'excercise their sovereign rights in the Socialist Republic of ___', the fact that Serbia had abolished Kosovo's and Vojvodina's autonomy, which was guaranteed by the same constitution, the fact that Serbia refused to even negotiate any confederal proposals, even Bosnia's moderate proposals, the fact that Serbia had sponsored armed rebellion on the territory of another republic, the fact that Serbia had stolen almost half the planned budged for 1991 from the federal treasury and had imposed import tax on goods from Croatia and Slovenia, effectively treating them as seperate states, the fact that it supported the creation of illegal 'Serb autonomous oblasts' on the territory of Bosnia-Hercegovina, and the fact that Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia left because their continued stay in the federation was simply untenable due to bullying and obstruction by Serbia and the JNA), the fact remains that they are published in a respected law journal. While most historians I am aware of agree that the rulings on borders were for the best, and were probably the only realistic option, the fact remains that some legal experts have challenged the Commission's findings on this point.

message: I just fixed the clearly anachronistic part of the title, but one question still remains - did the conference have a "peace" prefix or was it implicit?

Regardless of that difference, when I click on the last page of either of these, I get "Page 5 of 42 results". So it looks like it's largely synonymous, but it should be possible to lose the extra word since the title is already long enough. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 12:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

2. If the number is greater that those summarized in section 2 of this article, where are the remaining ones?
