Then there is the question that will arise that if Germany is forced to reveal its archives then shouldn't Serbia also pass onto the court its records of their involvement in the conflict. Karadzic's attempts to re write the history of the Bosnian conflict is more farcical than real but it is the only straw he has left in his hand; the Moslems did it to themselves and were ready to unleash their fighting machine- the Green Berets an apparent well equipped army of over 100,000 soldiers (!!) upon the defenseless Serbs. 'Twould be funny if it wasn't so terribly tragic.
The worse thing of all is the fact that in the fall of ex-Jugoslavia… Serbs where those who fought against all one by one… Slovenians, Croats, Bosnian Muslims, Kosovars…. and almost all of their leaders and military personnel are sentenced for war crimes. Even now, there is no remorse, guilt or responsibility taken and expressed publically by their leaders for what is done, no Serbian Willy Brant exist. The question is… what is wrong with this nation???

(The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images)
This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr Karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.

Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others.
I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.
Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country?'s proposal was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, ?"Spain (my country) strongly believes if we contribute most financial support to the Hague?'s highest court, that ought to give us and other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its decisions.?"
((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ?"totally legitimate topic?" discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked!
The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."
Some countries agreed with Spain?'s propositions while others did not. The point here is, bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate topic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that I attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
