Europa Times has published this article with deep misgivings, for what 
it reveals is almost unbearable.

Finally we decided to leave the choice to you if for no other reason 
than that the victims would surely have wished the world to know as 
desperately as they must have asked "why ?" in their last moments. If our readers 
don't make it past the first few lines, we'll understand. We struggled, too. 
For the victims we can only reach for words to express the emotions that 
are evoked. For the perpetrators of these crimes, one can only feel wild 
bewilderment. But for those in positions of power and influence who 
could have done something to protect those innocents fut failed thm one can 
feel an abiding contempt. 

Please remember that these are not the most 
sensational cases selected to shock, but they are just a few scores of cases 
submitted by the Governement of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the International Court of 
Justice at the Hague earlier this year. The tragedy lies in that none 
of this need have happened. At the highest levels, the politicos know 
this; they abandoned the Bosnians because, as leaders, they were inadequate 
even to stand against a ragba g of cut-throat militiamen if it risked a few 
votes. 

The Serbs, like scavengers at a kill, were sent scurrying at 
each US threat but still the lesson wasn't or couldn't be learned. The Serbs' 
luck lay in finding, in Europe's leaders, a troupe of politicos even more 
craven than themselves. The lesserfunctionaries were, as always, just 
following office memos. This, then, is dedicated to you - all you politicians, 
officials and bureaucrats who made this hell possible. On March 20,1993 
before the International Court of Justice at the Hague, Bosnia and 
Herzegovina instituted proceedings against Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
Montenegro) for an Application of the Convention on the Prevention and 
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. In a "Statement of Fact", the 
People and State of Bosnia and Herzegovina stated that, while it could not 
"catalogue all the available evidence related to the acts of genocide 
that have been perpetrated upon its own people", a collection of evidence 
was listed with which to charge that Serbia and Montenegro and its agents 
and surrogates "have committed Genocide and will continue to commit 
Genocide until they are stopped." The following are verbatim extracts from the 
official 'Statement of Fact' submitted by the Bosnians to the 
International Court of Justice.

(Bosnia and Herzegovian v. Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)

Section 44D Page 32 Paragraph (h)

"Serb torturers used iron bars to beat Muslims (some Croats) to death. 
They would not spare any part of the body, breaking all the bones so that 
the beaten Muslims begged their torturers for a bullet. Serb torturers 
stabbed  my arms with knives. I saw Serb torturers stab others, twisting and 
turning the knives inside them. I saw how Muslims were forced to bite each 
others testicles off, their mouth filled with testicles and blood, ripped 
blood vessels sticking out ot their mouths. Daily Serb torturers forced 
Muslim prisoners to f... each other, to perform oral sex on each other, 
forcing those bestialities especially among family members, between a father 
and a son."

Paragraph (k)

"Omarska extermination camp had women prisoners as well. Daily Serb 
soldiers would take girls and bring 5-6 men per girl, Serb soldiers, prisoners 
to rape them. Sometimes I was among the men forced to rape the girl(s). 
They were raped constantly, non-stop every day. They raped older women, 
Croats, 60-65 years of age. One named Divis, was raped by 12 men. There were 
many young girls, around 16 years that were being raped daily..."

Paragraph (L)

"Serbs would torture us by extinguishing their cigarettes on our 
bodies.  However that was reserved mostly for Muslim women. Serbs would 
extinguish their cigarettes on the Muslim women naked bodies, mostly their breasts 
and vaginas. Serbs would shove bottles (mostly half-litter beer bottles) up 
the Muslim girls vaginas... Serbs would stick a bottle inside Muslim 
women's vagina and then break them inside them."

Paragraph (m)

"In Omarska there wes a shop where dump trucks were being repaired, we 
called it the "Red House". Serb torturers killed many prisoners in the 
Red  House. That was the place where I saw the Serbs cut people's noses, 
ears, limbs. When I was cleaning the room in the Red House the floor was full 
of  human body pieces, pieces of the skull, fingers, ears, noses. Outside 
on the road, skull pieces were scattered everywhere."

Paragraph (o)

I witnessed Serb guards shoving a fire hydrant hose into a man's 
sphincter  (it was a man from a village of Kozarac), letting the water run full 
force from the hydrant, until the man swelled and then died bursting to 
pieces.

Victim N 004JF Section 44E Page 38 Paragraph (a)

"Every day they entered house in which there were only women and 
children  remaining. They plundered, killed and raped even the 5-year-old girls 
and old women. So our house was a prison camp to us for they could come in 
and  kill us at any time of the day or night. When they were searching my 
home we were taken into the backyard and made to stand in a row. They 
threatened to shoot us if they found weapons in the house. There were no weapons, 
they plundered the house and took the gold and told us they would come back 
again and kill us because we were Muslims.'
