ICTJ objects to Dodik’s lecture at Columbia University’s Harriman Institute

By Refik Hodzic, director of communications at the International Center for Transnational Justice.
I am objecting to the lecture which was hosted by the Harriman Institute yesterday.
While I fully respect the right of the Harriman Institute to invite speakers of its choice, I believe that the title of the lecture, “An American Foreign Policy Success Story: The Dayton Accords, Republika Srpska, and Bosnia’s European Integration,” begs several serious questions of the organizers (The Republika Srpska is one of two political entitites in Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Genocide in Prijedor is a black spot on the conscience of the international community and on the conscience of those who committed the crime
July 19, 2011
Author: Prof. Emir Ramic, Institute for Genocide Research in Canada (http://www.instituteforgenocide.ca)
On 6 December 1992 The New York Times described a May 1992 attack in Prijedor:
“When the attack began, Serbs from the village guided the tanks to the homes of certain Muslims…and the inhabitants were asked to come out and show their identity cards. Many of those who did were summarily executed…The bodies of the dead were carried away by trucks, which left a trail of blood. Those not killed on the spot were transferred to a convoy heading toward Omarska, a Serb concentration camp.” Read more
Academic Dishonesty of Professor Ian Buruma
July 10, 2011
Author: Daniel Toljaga
In a recent Opinion piece published in The Globe and Mail on May 30, 2011, Prof. Ian Buruma challenged the momentous finding of international law that the 1995 Srebrenica massacre was a crime of genocide.(1) We should expect the comments of a professor of human rights and journalism (at Bard College, in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y.) to embody integrity and conscientious research, particularly when discussing a subject of such gravity – “the worst [crime] on European soil since the Second World War”, according to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.(2) Instead Prof. Buruma deals with complex issues superficially, partially and misleadingly.

Incorrect media reports about the charges against Ratko Mladic

| BOSANSKI |
Associated Press and Reuters — two major global news agencies — are both feeding the public misleading information about the charges against Ratko Mladic.
Throughout their news reporting, they unceasingly repeat the inaccurate information that Mladic is charged only with genocide at Srebrenica and the siege of Sarajevo.
The fact of the matter is that former commander of the Bosnian Serb army currently before the International Criminal Tribunal is charged with orchestrating genocide not only at Srebrenica, but also in a number of other Bosnian municipalities: Bratunac, Foča, Ključ, Kotor Varoš, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Vlasenica and Zvornik.
