GENOCIDE PROVEN IN 7 BOSNIAN MUNICIPALITIES IN MILOSEVIC TRIAL

According to Dr. Marko Hoare, who worked for the International Criminal Tribunal as a researcher, decision to acquit Radovan Karadzic on 1 count of genocide is contradictory, because earlier decision in Milosevic trial proved genocide occurred in 7 Bosnian municipalities. The Trial judges then concluded:

"On 16 June 2004, in ‘Prosecutor v. Slobodan Milosevic: Decision on Motion for Judgement of Acquittal’, the Trial Chamber refused to acquit Milosevic on the same grounds, and ruled:

246. On the basis of the inference that may be drawn from this evidence, a Trial Chamber could be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that there existed a joint criminal enterprise, which included members of the Bosnian Serb leadership, whose aim and intention was to destroy a part of the Bosnian Muslim population, and that genocide was in fact committed in Brcko, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Srebrenica, Bijeljina, Kljuc and Bosanski Novi. The genocidal intent of the Bosnian Serb leadership can be inferred from all the evidence..."
