Fugitif Radovan Karadzic de crimes de guerre arrêté en Serbie
Mardi 22 juillet 2008 Discutez ce rapport dans les forum de RINF > Radovan Karadzic, un des hommes les plus voulus du monde, a été arrêté hier 13 ans après qu'il a été accusé la première fois par le tribunal de crimes de guerre des Nations Unies. Le génocide suspect de 63 d'ans de guerre visages de crimes facture son rôle dans le massacre de plus de 8.000 hommes et garçons musulmans chez Srebrenica dans la plus mauvaise atrocité de l'Europe depuis la deuxième guerre mondiale, et pour organiser le siège de Sarajevo qui a réclamé les 12.000 vies. On a compris qu'il est apporté avant qu'une cour précipité-assemblée à Belgrade la nuit passée après qu'il ait été saisi par des forces de Serb à l'intérieur du pays, selon Boris Tadic, du président. L'arrestation est une percée significative pour le nouveau gouvernement pro-occidental en Serbie, un pays qui a fait face à l'isolement international tandis que Karadzic et crimes de guerre de camarade Ratko suspect Mladic, commandant serbe bosnien d'armée, sont restés à grand. L'UE a fait leur pour mettre un état du progrès vers des entretiens d'adhésion. Radovan Karadzic a mené l'administration serbe individu-proclamée de la Bosnie au début des années 90 qui a résisté à l'indépendance du pays et supprimee d'autres groupes ethniques dans une partie de la plus mauvaise violence qui a suivi la dissolution de la Yougoslavie. Il est susceptible d'être mis sur l'épreuve à la Haye dans la poursuite la plus de profil haut résultant des Balkans sont en conflit depuis cela de Slobodan Milosevic fini avec la mort des causes normales de l'ancien président serbe en 2006 avant qu'un verdict pourrait être atteint. « C'est un jour très important pour les victimes qui ont attendu cette arrestation pendant plus d'une décennie, » a dit Serge Brammertz, procureur en chef du tribunal criminel international pour l'ancienne Yougoslavie. « C'est également un jour important pour la justice internationale parce qu'il démontre clairement que personne n'est au delà de l'extension de la loi et que tôt ou tard tous les fugitifs seront apportés à la justice. » Richard Holbrooke, l'ancien secrétaire d'état des USA auxiliaire qui a négocié les ententes 1995 de Dayton qui ont fini la guerre en Bosnie, Karadzic décrit en tant que « vrai architecte vrai de meurtre de masse » et ont grêlé les nouvelles de son arrestation comme « pas en avant énorme pour que le désir de la Serbie joigne l'ouest ». Il a dit : « C'est l'homme le plus voulu en Europe, Oussama Ben Laden de l'Europe. Il a éludé la capture pendant presque 13 années. He was the primary intellectual architect of the ethnic cleansing.” Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, the international community’s former High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, called the arrest as an “extremely important piece of justice for the world at large”. He said: “I have heard so many rumours in the past but if they have got him then that is a very significant breakthrough for Serbia, for the Balkans and for justice.” Still a hero to some in Serbia, Karadzic was first indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal in July 24 1995, since when he is said to have resorted to a number of elaborate disguises and relied on a network of supporters to evade capture. His reported hide-outs included Serbian Orthodox monasteries and mountain caves in remote eastern Bosnia. Some newspaper reports said that he had at times disguised himself as a priest by shaving off his trademark mane of silver hair and wearing a cassock. President Tadic’s office said in a statement that Karadzic was arrested “in an action by the Serbian security services”. Karadzic’s wife, Ljiljana, said from her home in his former stronghold of Pale, near Sarajevo, that her daughter Sonja had called her before midnight. “As the phone rang, I knew something was wrong. I am shocked. Confused. “At least now, we know he is alive.” A senior Serbian government official told The Times: “Mr Karadzic was arrested late on Monday at a yet undisclosed location in Serbia in a covert operation by the Serbian Security Information Agency. He has already been handed over to the War Crimes Panel of the Belgrade District Court, where he was questioned by the on-duty investigating judge and will be transferred to the the Hague Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia where he will be put on trial.” The news will delight EU foreign ministers meeting today in Brussels, who already had Serbian accession on the agenda and have piled enormous pressure on Belgrade to find the final war crimes fugitives. Pre-accession talks have started, designed to encourage the reformist government formed in Belgrade earlier this month after closely-fought elections in May. In Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, the news of Karadzic’s arrest was greeted with spontaneous celebrations as dozens of jubilant Bosnians gathered in the streets to mark what is seen as the beginning of the final chapter in the history of the country’s bloody civil war of the 1990s. Nerma Jelacic, a spokeswoman for The Hague Tribunal, told The Times: “The Tribunal welcomes the news, which was eagerly expected for over 13 years. The new Serbian government has lived up to their promises and confirmed the pro-European credentials. “Mr Karadzic’s trial will be one of the biggest events in recent criminal history. He will be given a trial in accordance to the highest standards of international law.” The capture of Karadzic follows the arrest of the fourth most important fugitive, Stojan Zupljanin, 56, the former head of the Bosnian Serb security forces, last month. A statement from the EU presidency, currently held by France, said the arrest was “an important step on the path to the rapprochement of Serbia with the European Union.” Under the indictment, last amended in May 2000, the UN war crimes tribunal charged Karadzic with 11 counts of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other atrocities committed between 1992 to 1996.
