Titolo: Strano, questo Slobo...

Mi chiedo come mai, ora che il Tribunale Penale Internazionale ha
emesso un mandato di cattura per Slobodan Milosevic, questo organismo
è diventato uno strumento politico in mano alla Nato e agli USA,
mentre solo un paio di mesi fa lo stesso Slobo si è rivolto allo
stesso tribunale, accusando sempre la Nato e gli USA di aggressione
nei confronti della Jugoslavia, chiedendone la condanna.
Forse ce ne siamo dimenticati? Perché chi è riconosciuto autorevole e
legittimo in marzo non lo è più in maggio?
E tutti quelli che chiedono un intervento dell'ONU nella faccenda,
cosa ne pensano della decisione del TPI, che è organismo delle Nazioni
Unite? La Russia e la Cina, sempre pronte a sostenere queste ultime,
si uniscono a Slobo nella condanna e nel disconoscimento del
Tribunale. Complimenti!

[snip](si entra in argomento)
Q:  In The Hague last week the NATO governments have argued that the
International Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction.  I want to
know if NATO is afraid of being judged by the International Court of
Justice, and also what will happen if NATO is brought before the
International Criminal Tribunal, will they also argue that there is no
jurisdiction?  Is NATO not prepared to recognise the authority of the
International Court of Justice?
SHEA:  As you know, without NATO countries there would be no
International Court of Justice, nor would there be any International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia because NATO countries are in
the forefront of those who have established these two tribunals, who fund
these tribunals and who support on a daily basis their activities.  We
are the upholders, not the violators, of international law.
Q:  Shouldn't you recognise the jurisdiction then?
SHEA:  We obviously recognise the jurisdiction of these tribunals, but I
can assure you, when these tribunals look at Yugoslavia I think they will
find themselves fully occupied with the far more obvious breaches of
international law that have been committed by Belgrade than any
hypothetical breaches that may have occurred by the NATO countries, and I
expect that to apply to both.  So that is our position on that, we
recognise international law, in fact we recognise international law so
much that when we see a massive violation of it, with thousands of people
driven from their homes, thousands of people killed, thousands of young
men unaccounted for, others being herded around like cattle within their
own country, we don't just shout about it, we do something to stop it
because we uphold international law.
Q:  Well why don't you recognise the jurisdiction of the International
Court of Justice?
SHEA: I said we do recognise the jurisdiction.
Q:  No, because you were only arguing that it -- every NATO country was
arguing that there was no jurisdiction and you did not deal with the
substantive issue.  If you believe that international law is so
important, why would you not allow the court to judge on these
substantive issues.
SHEA:  The charge by Yugoslavia was brought under the genocide
convention.  That does not apply to NATO countries.  As to whom it does
apply, I think we know the answer there.
