The Crimes of Ratko Mladić

First, of primary importance is the trial of Karadzic and Mladic.

Despite his campaign promises, Serbia s President Boris Tadic has so far failed to cooperate with the ICTY by assisting in turning over Mladic (Karadzic is probably not in Serbia), who would surely testify against Milosevic. One understands his trepidation the first post Milosevic prime minister, Zoran Djindjic, cooperated with the tribunal, and paid for it with his life.

Mladic even participated in military ceremonies.

Among them, Mladic and Karadzic remain the most notorious.

There was also hope that, once Mladic was in The Hague, efforts would focus on Radovan Karadzic.

We believe that the arrest of Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic will soon follow.

That did not happen.

For 10 years the international community has been playing cat and mouse with Karadzic and Mladic.

Until recently, there was no political will on the part of either of those parties to aggressively go after Karadzic and Mladic.

Secondly, the current efforts aimed at breaking the support networks protecting Karadzic and Mladic must be further aggressively pursued.

It was only after the fall of Milosevic, in 2000, that the international community expressed the political will to bring Karadzic and Mladic to justice.

As far as I know, neither those States nor international organizations have ever managed to come close to the arrest of Karadzic or Mladic.

At the time of reporting, several major indictees, including Ratko Mladić and Radovan Karadžić, remain at large.

Finally, Mr. Covic said that there had been no response to the invitations for dialogue from President Tadic and Prime Minister Kostunica.

As a consequence, we cannot compare sources and knowledge that would allow us to make progress towards locating Karadzic and Mladic.

In conclusion, for 10 years we have been facing grave systemic deficiencies in the efforts made to capture Karadzic and Mladic.

Nevertheless, among them there are still high profile officials such as Radovan Karadzić and Ratko Mladić, at large for nearly 10 years.

For the first time, the commemoration was attended by the President of Serbia, Boris Tadic, and by the President of Republika Srpska, Dragan Cavic.

It is particularly well documented that, two years after they were indicted, Karadzic and Mladic were moving freely in Republika Srpska.

While commending this progress, NATO took the view that cooperation would not be deemed satisfactory until the most wanted fugitives, Mladić and Karadžić, had been apprehended.

And what's crazy there's a recession going on, even in Dubai, but you wouldn't know by the prices.

For six years now, I have had to report to the Council that the failure to bring Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic into the custody of the Tribunal is the major impediment to the success of our work.

Numerous statements have been made by Serb and Bosnian Serb political, and even religious, leaders saying that Karadzic and Mladic must be brought to The Hague.

That assessment reflects the situation regarding Karadzic, Mladic and the other fugitives who are within the reach of Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As long as Karadzic and Mladic remained at large, Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be able to fully engage with Euro Atlantic institutions.

On Saturday, 14 May, Habsade received a shipment of arms, transported in a lorry, for Muse Suudi, Mohamed Qanyare Afrah, Osman Hassan Ali Atto and Abdirashid Ilqeyte (a businessman) from Mogadishu.

From 1998 onwards, Karadzic's movements became more discreet and his whereabouts became unknown, while Mladic probably moved his permanent residence to Serbia at that time.

Thirdly, the capture of Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic is no longer such a high priority for the international community that it would justify allocating substantial technical and human resources to it.

In that respect, the swift arrest and transfer to The Hague of all remaining outstanding fugitive indictees, notably Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, is absolutely key.

The arrest of Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, in particular, requires a much more decisive approach from the authorities of Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Well, of course now we know we don't have to change a plug, now we've seen that wonderful demonstration of the wireless electric fantastic. You know, it inspires us.

Of course, the Bosnian Serb commander, Ratko Mladić remains a fugitive. But Serbia s authorities, facing economic turmoil, cannot harbor him much longer if the United States and the European Union exert adequate pressure.

The invitation from President Tadic was a public one and Mr. Rugova has publicly confirmed that he is looking forward to meeting him.

The only remaining condition to fulfil that goal of vital importance is the apprehension of Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić, the two most notorious and highest ranked indictees.

Hoy's retirement also created a void which Kian Emadi and Matt Crampton tried to fill.

Valdez was a legend in Mexico and abroad, and his killing is seen as a milestone in Mexican violence against journalists.

Thirdly, the States of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro must be held accountable for their failure to bring Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic to justice.

The Serbian authorities have expressed the clear political will to arrest and transfer him to The Hague, and they have taken a number of measures for this purpose.
