World Court asked to decide if a country can be guilty of genocide

Screw the world court, if they ever got there way there would be terrorists in GITMO being able to sue the US for billions.

[proud_yank]

Has the UN decided on what exactly 'genocide' is yet?

[Lurker]

They've decided what it is alright. They've even written it down.

What they haven't done is actually declare that any country on Earth is actively participating in it. That would require actual action on the UNs part, and that ain't gonna happen.

[mthom]

Thats fine with me. The less effective an illegitimate organization like the UN is the better.

[processing please hold]

Ohhhh no, we're ALL going to prison. All 285 million of us.

So now the European cowards are going to try to sacrifice Christian Serbia as a whole to the Mohammedan Moloch?!

They should be thanking the Serbs and rearming them to finish the job, but I guess it will take beheadings in Paris, Berlin, London, and the Hague before they finally get it.

[highlander_UW]

Generals and politicians have been convicted of genocide, but the UN's highest court will consider Monday whether a country - in this case Serbia - can be guilty of humanity's worst crime.

Odd...when I read this I just expected the country to be Sudan...but then they'd have to hold muslims accountable in that case.

[proud_yank]

That would require actual action on the UNs part, and that ain't gonna happen.

More money is needed first. Lots more money!

[proud_yank]

Thats fine with me. The less effective an illegitimate organization like the UN is the better.

Yes and no. The UN is excellent at maintaining the status quo, and when it finally falls into history's dustbin next to the league of nations I doubt we will hear much of anything. The fact that we give those useless POS's so much money though gets my blood boiling

"World Court asked to decide if a country can be guilty of genocide"

They have no standing or jurisdiction to decide....in any case, if they do decide in the affirmative, let us start with mohammad/islam and work our way chronologically.

[Nathan Zachary]

Well, shouldn't the Serbs turn around and accuse all the muslims of attempted genocide during WW2, when The grand mufti Husainni led the all Muslim Nazi SS division to slaughter all the Serbs?

That aside, shouldn't there be actual PROOF of Genocide? I recall plenty of news clips showing muslim refugee are fleeing the country, and refugee tents being set up. That's not genocide.
Then Clinton bombed civilian Serbs in civilian convoys, towns and villages. THAT is attempted genocide...

[Nathan Zachary]

Then there's the Turks and the Armainian genocide, not a peep about that either- strange.

[solitas]

Thirteen years after Bosnia filed the case with the International Court of Justice, its lawyers will lay out their lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro - the successor state for the defunct Yugoslavia - charging it with a premeditated attempt to destroy Bosnia's Muslim population, in whole or part.

At the time: illegal and undesirable. Today: just illegal.

The court's rulings are binding, and a refusal to abide by them could be referred to the UN Security Council for action.

Giggle.

If 'ol Slobo manages to avoid a guilty verdict, maybe we can get Homeland Security to hire him? The fella certainly has demonstrated his motivation.

Due process? What a fk'ed up world. The UN has GOT to go.

I think their definition is along the lines of "any time Christians or Jews make muslims angry".

[marsh_of_mists]

Thanks for reminding me why I voted for Bush.

[MarMema]

The first genocide conviction came 50 years later, when a special UN court on Rwanda sentenced a former mayor, Jean-Paul Akayesu, to life imprisonment for complicity in the deaths of thousands of Tutsis.

Though while it was happening they would not use the word "genocide". A careful and deliberate omission. May God have mercy on them for looking the other way during that bloodbath, as children were hacked to death and local officials pleaded for assistance.

So the hypocrisy is complete and the demonization of the Serbian people continues.

[MarMema]

I think their definition is along the lines of "any time Christians or Jews make muslims angry".

So the Danes and Israelis should be up next.

[BubbaTheRocketScientist]

So the Danes and Israelis should be up next.

I'm sure, if they thought they could get away with it, they'd call those cartoons "genocide" or some such thing, and try to prosecute the artists and publishers.
