Under the auspices of the UN and in the name of international justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague is threatening, by its recent politically motivated actions, to further discredit this process and cause irreparable damage to human rights, International Law and future of the peoples in the Balkans. Deeply concerned, many legal experts of different political orientations and from different countries of Europe, America and Asia, motivated only by their professional ethics, decided to alert the highest UN bodies and to urge them to prevent such a development.
Mr. Clark, Ms. Dickson and Mr. Lituchy will explain the details of the initiative and will be available to answer all questions related to the subject, to the trial of the former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and to the works of the ad hoc tribunals. Journalists will be served with the text of the petition, complete list of signatures and other relevant material.
