Milosevic and Hussein on Trial
No full textIn this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author discusses the difficulties of trying Saddam in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague to argue that previous cases of genocide have resulted in the political strategy of exile or extermination. Four points that limit the possibilities for an ICJ trial are discussed, & the probable unjustness of the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) is related to the treatment of historical cases of Napoleon & Milosevic, & genocide criminals in the Rwanda & Nuremberg criminal trials. The author argues that the current position on genocide according to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia & Herzegovina (GFA) & the Dayton Accords, leaves the Milosevic & Hussein cases extremely unclear, & advocates handing Saddam over to the Iraqi police, & finds advantages in the probable chance that Milosevic may die before his trial ends.

Dealing with rogue states: a case study of Serbia
No full textThis thesis examines the impact of international coercive policies on democratic opposition parties operating within ‘rogue’ states. Using Serbia between 1992 and 2000 as a case study, the aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of the international community’s coercion of Serbia on the effectiveness of the Serbian democratic opposition in their campaigns against the Milosevic regime. In order to explore this issue, the time period from 1992 to 2000 is broken down into five subperiods in each of which Serbia’s experience of international coercion differed in terms of its nature and/or extent. Within each of these sub-periods the issues of whether Serbia’s opposition parties held positions that differed from those of the Milosevic regime on issues that were of key international concern; the extent and nature of links between the Serbian democratic opposition and the international community; and the impact of international policy on the effectiveness of the democratic opposition in opposing the Milosevic regime is investigated. The findings of this research show that the positions of the democratic opposition parties were often closer to those of the international com m unity than were those of the Milosevic regime, and that for much of the time international coercion of Serbia undermined Serbia’s opposition in its efforts to oppose Milosevic
Tyranny on Trial: Personality and Courtroom Conduct of Defendants Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein
No full textIn this essay in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author explores the impacts of personality & courtroom conduct in trial outcome to argue that the likenesses between the two defendants will result in Saddam\u27s projection of grand defiance. Biographical narratives of the two leaders trace the psychological development of each personality through childhood to their political careers characterized by defiant resistance & compensatory grandiosity that may be the source of the similarities of behaviors in the courtroom. Asserting that Saddam is following the Milosevic model of courtroom behavior by derailment of the proceeding, exploitation of the victimization theme, & distortion of history to present his political platform, the author concludes that, defiant & unrepentant, both defendants have returned to the international stage to restate their heroic legacies.

Slobodan Milosevic & Det Jugoslaviske Projekt - En Forfejlet Forestilling?: Slobodan Milosevic & The Yugoslav Project - A Failed Imagination?
No full textThis project examines the difference between the two former Yugoslav leaders Josip Broz Tito and Slobodan Milosevic by emphasizing the actions of the latter. Furthermore the term “nation” is explained by historian Benedict Anderson, who defines a nation as an imagined community with elastic borders. By the use of scholars such as Lenard J. Cohen, Sabrina Petra Ramet, Robert Bideleux and Ian Jeffries a full-frame picture of the Serb Yugoslav history is provided to explain the ever-changing nature of the Yugoslav rule and its ideological battle with nationalism and communism. This picture most importantly shows that the Yugoslav state has been ruled very different in its existence. Throughout an analysis of two preselected speeches from 1987 and 1989 by Slobodan Milosevic it is clarified how the Serb initially broke the political line established by Tito. Afterwards a discussion is raised on whether the Yugoslav project in any way succeed in creating of a Yugoslav self-knowledge. Furthermore the use of communism and nationalism is discussed to show how the Yugoslav rule used the communist ideology as an internationalism. Finally it is concluded that Milosevic used both communism and nationalism to fulfill his agenda of establishing a Serbian-ruled Yugoslavia.This project examines the difference between the two former Yugoslav leaders Josip Broz Tito and Slobodan Milosevic by emphasizing the actions of the latter.

Address to the Cornell International Law Journal Symposium: Milosevic & (and) Hussein on Trial
No full textIn this essay in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author questions the critiques of the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) to argue that the tribunal offers advantages of availability to citizens in location, language, & differences in legal categories that were not available to people in the former Yugoslavia & Rwanda trials. Language issues that have emerged in fact finding, establishing culpability, & barriers in witness interviews are described. The meaning of moral responsibility in terms of exculpatory evidence, & command responsibility are difficult to communicate or interpret. The advantages of local trials are the increased possibility of institutional capacity building, avoidance of the sense of recolonization, cost, the precedence of the Rome Statue & existing law, & minimal international capacity. The author concludes with a discussion of the challenging issues regarding the nation state & sentencing related to the case of Iraq, neutrality in the case of Rwanda, & immunity for the heads of state.
