THE HAGUE, Apr 23 (Hina) - Bosnia-Herzegovina submitted 973 pages
of material to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague
on Thursday demanding that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia be
sentenced for the genocide committed in BH.
Bosnia also demands that the ICJ order Yugoslavia to pay BH and its
citizens full indemnity for violating the 1948 Genocide
Convention.
The documents submitted to the ICJ by Bosnian Ambassador to the
United Nations Muhamed Sacirbej contain reports, notes from books
and articles by independent observers, as well as conclusions
reached by international organisations and the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
The Bosnian Embassy in The Hague said the material also includes
documents on connections between the Yugoslav Ministry of Interior
Affairs and Bosnian Serb authorities and on close cooperation among
Serb paramilitary units, the former Yugoslav People's Army and the
Yugoslav Interior Ministry.
Bosnia initiated the case in March 1993.
According to Bosnia's representative for the case Phon van den
Biesen, this is the first time the 1948 Genocide Convention is
applied in a conflict between countries.
Bosnia formulated its charges in April 1994. A year later,
Yugoslavia stated its preliminary objections which the ICJ
rejected in June 1996. When Yugoslavia denied the charges and
accused Bosnia's authorities of committing genocide against
Bosnian Serbs, Bosnia presented the ICJ with a large documentation.
Yugoslavia may submit its response by January 23, 1999.
