BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Nov 10 (AFP) - Bosnian Serb former prisoners of war are planning to visit the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague to provide "evidence" against Croats and Muslims, a POW association said Monday.

The Republika Srpska Association of Detainees said a delegation of former prisoners would present unspecified information about alleged war crimes during Bosnia's 1992-95 conflict when they visit The Hague on Wednesday.

The association says it represents some 50,000 Serb former POWs and claims that there were 536 detention camps where Serbs were imprisoned in Bosnia during the war.

The Serb-run Republika Srpska, which shares authority in postwar Bosnia with the Muslim-Croat Federation, remains the only territory of the former Yugoslavia which has not arrested a single war crimes suspect.

Why is the word evidence in quotes? Could it be... media bias? Naah, it would be absurd to suggest the media would give Serbs anything but a fair shake, right?

What a quagmire.

Let me guess -- the Bosnian Serbs will describe the terrible war crimes of their victims. Such as fighting back instead of meekly dying when attacked by Serbs or complaining when Serbs raped them repeatedly (instead of being grateful for the attention of innocent Serbian men). How horrible for these poor former Serbian POW's!

Too much like a publicity stunt. Better to do so through the local courts. In the face of the international scrutiny that Bosnia would then face, they would have to consider the evidence and conduct the process fairly, thereby enhancing their credibility with citizens of all ethnicities.

No one doubts that the islamic fundamentalists were the problem to the Serbs. The question is why slick willie chose to defend the muslims rather than the Serbs.
