With the UN Resolution No. 1970 dated 26.2.2011, the international community an indictment for crimes against Muammar Gaddafi of humanity has made more likely. Many commentators had interpreted the resolution as lame, worthless signal of the world, including Muammar Gaddafi himself Those comments only saw the travel ban and the freezing of Konton Gaddafi confidant in the focus of the resolution. The international community has made it clear that it not only an end to violence against civilians Libyan calls, but also possible crimes already committed by the means of international law wants to punish, in the present, but also in the future. A warning to the despots of the world.
has now published the organization "Coalition for the Interna Nalen court Hoff" (ICIC), a text and asks within the network of 150 participating countries for assistance to support the chief prosecutor for possible charges against Gaddafi. Libya is the second case to Darfur to the International Court of Justice was assigned by a decision of the UN Security Council.
Within hours of the adoption of the resolution was Gaddafi's response. He was trying just a little
interview with the Serbian private broadcaster PINK explain he was not Milosevic or Karadzic. The International Court just trying to bring an indictment on the way, which is based solely on media reports. He described the UN sanctions as null and void. He also made al-Qaeda responsible for the situation in Libya. He described the situation in Libya as calm and controlled. In fact, the connection of the Muammar Gaddafi is delicate with Serbia. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, which was just as Libya is a leading member of the Non-Aligned Movement States, remained the close relations between Serbia and Libya.
editors of the Serbian television station had the former Yugoslav President Zoran Lilić over the weekend to Libya monitored in order to collect footage. It was not the images of dead and injured, to see the Serbian public was given. The transmitter was based with a well-meaning compilation of the material staging a peaceful Tripoli, the last stronghold of in free fall are be dictator. Lilić, predecessor of Milosevic's cabinet and later belonging, described himself as a "close friend" Gaddafi. Lilić was monitored during his stay in Tripoli at the weekend the evacuation of Serbian citizens. The Serbian business relations with Libya are placed in the field of defense industry, property and engineering sector.

The fighters were mostly the remains of a Serbian paramilitary task force called "Red Berets", which had disbanded in 2003 because some of its members were brought in connection with war crimes during the Balkan wars, including the massacre of
Srebrenica and
Racak. Already in the 1990s, Gaddafi had resorted to Serb militias to combat alleged "Islamists". During the fighting in Libya, there were repeated reports
of Serbian pilots who should have supported the Libyan Air Force process of attacking civilians. Libyans themselves

Slobodan Milosevic before the UN war crimes tribunal

So now is
Gaddafi expected to share the fate of other war criminals. Milosevic as president of Serbia had supported right-wing parties and Serbian paramilitary units in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to establish a Greater Serbia. He was responsible for the collapse of Yugoslavia and of the bloody over 10 years of conflict in the Balkan region. On 27 May 1999 Milosevic was indicted by the International Court of crimes against humanity, breaches of the Geneva Conventions and genocide. The indictment of 66 action points reads like the biography of a medieval generals. Only had this time a head of state in Europe raged our time under the eyes of the public. Even during the process Milosevic died of a heart attack in 2002. Whether that Milosevic deliberately provoked into suicide intent, or was caused by inadequate medical Beitreuung, is still unclear.

Radovan Karadzic before the International War Crimes Tribunal

Radovan Kradzic served as leader of the Bosnian Serbs for war crimes against the Muslim population of Bosnia and citizens of Croatian origin. For him, the Declaration of Independence Bosnian Serb autocrat in relation to the Belgrade declaration of war against the Serbian people. In the last debate of the Parliament of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Karadzic said in conclusion, and frankly all in: "If the Muslims want war, then they can have him!" He called for a separate republic within Bosnia and planned by a well structured party and military apparatus of mass executions of the Bosnians, an "ethnic cleansing", as she was known by Kommentatorien this time. After the attack, Serb forces on the nearly defenseless Sarajevo on 9 April 1995 adopted the UN war crimes tribunal, an international arrest warrant against Karadzic. In July 1995, then found more than a massacre on an unprecedented scale near the small town of Srebrenica held. More than 8,000 Muslims were separated under the eyes of Dutch UN soldiers, taken to a wooded area killed and then buried in mass graves. Srebrenica is now a place for widows. Entire families have lost their fathers and sons. Only in 2008 was Radovan Karadzic fesgenommen and the International Court of Justice to pass.
is significant against this background that Seif al-Islam Gaddafi warned in his televised speech a few days, the Libyan public, in which he reminded
to the bloodshed in Yugoslavia in 1990. What have these war criminals have in common? They shoot is calculated on the rhetoric of the Bush era and defend themselves: We are fighting against Islamists, we are fighting against al Qaeda.
But the real enemy of despots are people who have found that bread and water for life is not enough. You can no longer be intimidated and bullying by a policy à la carrot and the stick. The law is on their side ... hopefully!
