NATO bombed #Yugoslavia 25 years ago
Text:

'They #poisoned our #land, #water, and #air': Serbs hold NATO responsible for depleted uranium pollution

"NATO must pay compensation,” Serbian lawyer Srdjan Aleksic told Sputnik. “By #bombing #Serbia and the Republic of Srpska with #depleted #uranium ( #DU) shells, despite knowing DU's long-term effects—such as its half-life of 4.5 billion years—the alliance poisoned our land, water, and air. Depleted uranium entered the #food chain."

The North Atlantic Alliance deployed DU weapons during the war in #Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 1995, and then again during the aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999.

In September 1995, NATO forces had fired off 4.5 #tons of DU penetrators in the territory of BiH, according to the Commission of Inquiry into the Consequences of the Use of Depleted Uranium.

The Serbian Ministry of Defense said the Western military bloc dropped 15 tons of DU munitions on Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999.

Aleksic follows in the footsteps of his Italian counterpart, Angelo Tartaglia, who won more than 300 cases for Italian soldiers who served in the NATO KFOR mission in #Kosovo and later fell ill or died of cancer.

"Currently, 35 lawsuits against NATO have been filed in courts in Belgrade, Nis and other cities in Serbia,” Aleksic said. “50 biopsy results of Serbian military and police officers who served in Kosovo and were diagnosed with cancer have been sent to Italian laboratories."

Aleksic called on residents of the Republic of Srpska (part of BiH) suffering from cancer to establish a causal link between their condition and the bombing with depleted uranium shells.

"The biopsy results show the presence of heavy metals and depleted uranium, which is 100 percent proof that we are right," he stressed.

U.S. Embassy Statement on Milorad Dodik’s Secessionist Threats

the stench of hypocrisy is truly nauseating! Remember how Clinton bypassed UN to bomb former Yugoslavia to stone ages to let Kosovo become a satelite state of US/NATO in the region?

I still remember when Thacher prevented EU to help Bosnia during the slaughter of Bosnians by Serb and Coratian militia, her exact words were "we do not want a muslim country in the heart of Europe"!

The United States, as it has for almost 30 years, will act to protect Bosnia and Herzegovina’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and multi-ethnic character.t

There is no right under Bosnia and Herzegovina’s constitution for an entity or any other sub-state unit to secede, and the United States will not remain idle if Milorad Dodik acts to spark another conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Bosnie-Herzégovine

Devant l'entrée, une plaque commémorative :

C'est à cet endroit que des criminels serbes ont mis le feu, dans la nuit du 25 au 26 août 1992, à la bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Bosnie-Herzégovine. Plus de deux millions de livres, de périodiques et de documents ont disparu dans les flammes. N'oubliez pas, souvenez-vous et avertissez !

Un article paru dans le Bulletin des Bibliothèques de France en 1997 :
https://bbf.enssib.fr/consulter/bbf-1997-06-0072-007
extrait:

Une dévastation systématique du patrimoine bosniaque
Ainsi, un ensemble inestimable de documents témoignant du patrimoine et de l’histoire commune des différentes communautés bosniaques a été anéanti. Si la destruction de la Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Sarajevo évoque des tragédies anciennes, comme celle d’Alexandrie, ou les ravages des guerres mondiales, elle est aussi devenue le symbole de la dévastation systématique du patrimoine bosniaque.
Car cet anéantissement n’est que l’élément le plus spectaculaire de ce que l’on a pu dénommer un « mémoricide », caractérisant la politique désormais trop fameuse du « nettoyage ethnique » qui s’est accompagnée, dans tout le pays, d’une politique délibérée d’élimination du patrimoine écrit et architectural témoignant de la vie commune antérieure, et des droits des populations chassées : destruction d’institutions culturelles, d’édifices religieux (près d’un millier de mosquées, de nombreuses églises catholiques), destruction de quartiers et de villages entiers, de cadastres et d’archives. Les principaux responsables de cette politique ont été inculpés de génocide et crimes contre l’humanité par le Tribunal pénal international de La Haye.

In front of the entrance, a commemorative plaque:

On this place Serbian criminals on the night of 25-26 August 1992 set on fire National and University's Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina . Over 2 millions of books, periodicals and documents vanished in the flame. Do not forget, remember and warn!

An article published in the Bulletin des Bibliothèques de France in 1997:
https://bbf.enssib.fr/consulter/bbf-1997-06-0072-007
extract:

A systematic devastation of the Bosnian heritage
Thus, an invaluable collection of documents testifying to the heritage and common history of the different Bosnian communities was destroyed. If the destruction of the National and University Library in Sarajevo evokes ancient tragedies, such as that of Alexandria, or the ravages of the world wars, it has also become the symbol of the systematic devastation of Bosnian heritage.
For this annihilation is only the most spectacular element of what has been called a "memorialization", characterizing the now too famous policy of "ethnic cleansing" which has been accompanied, throughout the country, by a deliberate policy of eliminating the written and architectural heritage testifying to the previous common life, and to the rights of the displaced populations: destruction of cultural institutions, religious buildings (nearly a thousand mosques, many Catholic churches), destruction of entire neighbourhoods and villages, cadastres and archives. The main perpetrators of this policy have been indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.

Remember those barges used by the Ukronazis to try to land an assault force to seize the ZNPP?

Speaking of the ZNPP, the IAEA report was hopelessly anti-Russian and “superbly blind”. Here is a photo of the IAEA inspectors presenting their findings:

Western “observers” hard at work

Which is hardly anything new.

Western “observers” did not see tens of thousands of Russians murdered, raped, tortured, enslaved and displaced by the Western-backed Wahabis in Chechnia.

They never noticed the mass murder of Serbians living in the hills around Srebrenica by the Western-backed Muslim forces in #Bosnia.

They never noticed 14k+ Ukrainian murdered by the Western-backed Ukronazi military in the #Donbass

These observers are STILL not seeing the vicious persecution of Serbs by Western-backed Albanians in #Kosovo.

But they did see a “genocide” in Srebrenica and in Racak and we can be absolutely confident that they will find plenty of “evidence of genocide/crimes against innocent civilians” in the #Kharkov region now that the Russians have withdraw.

Antiwar campaigns don’t end wars. Not one of the wars I mentioned above ended because of an antiwar campaign. Wars end for other reasons — either the aggressor suffers a major #military defeat, or the number of casualties becomes too high. Or, if the opponent’s forces are comparable, the war might become a stalemate that lasts for years, until both sides have exhausted their resources.
That’s how wars end.
If that’s the case, though, what’s the role of an antiwar campaign? Intuitively, it seems like an #antiwar movement’s goal should be stopping a #war. If it can’t do that, it’s pointless, right? No. To avoid the crushing disappointment that sets in when you realize you are powerless to stop a war, it’s vital to understand up front what the real purpose of an antiwar movement is.

Almost 30 years and counting:

"There was little visible progress on human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 2021. Public officials stirred xenophobia, failed to tackle discrimination, and put pressure on journalists. War crimes prosecutions slowed. Protections for women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are inadequate."
