US Vice President Joe Biden visited Serbia this week, where he was greeted by protesters crowding the streets of Belgrade, the city Biden was a leading advocate of bombing in 1999.
On Friday activists will erect a monument in Novi Sad to commemorate the victims of bombing raids carried out by NATO forces on the former Yugoslavia. Some 28,000 bombs and missiles were dropped on the country within three months, inflicting damage that can be still seen today.
Human rights attorney Christopher Black told Radio Sputnik's Brian Becker during a Loud & Clear broadcast that it is outrageous how there is no accountability for people like former US President Bill Clinton, who ordered the bombing of the republic. Meanwhile, Slobodan Milosevic, the former leader of Yugoslavia, was brought to trial and died in jail before it could be concluded.
Black, who had been at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) defending people like Milosevic, claims that the Serbian ex-president "proved during the trial that all the charges against him were false," and that the whole NATO-funded tribunal set up for a particular set of circumstances.
"The whole purpose of the ICTY in my mind is threefold," he said. "It's to demonize the former government of Yugoslavia and make it look like they're a bunch of criminals. It's to justify the attack on Yugoslavia by presenting a false history of events during that time, which is all false propaganda. And thirdly, it covers up the role of NATO and their crime."
According to Black, the Yugoslavian government surrendered in June 1999 after it received a message from the US that, "unless you surrender, the Americans intend to carpet bomb Belgrade," killing some 500,000 people. The capitulation was based solely on the desire to end the killings.....http://sptnkne.ws/bXr3
