Abstract

International Court of Justice in Hague in a law suit of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Serbia and Montenegro, has confirmed the genocide committed in Srebrenica and massive scale of war crimes throughout the other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but it declared Serbia and Montenegro not guilty for committing and collaborating in these crimes and has issued the verdict by which Serbia is responsible only for not preventing the genocide and for not punishing the war criminals. This verdict as such is inconsistent, compromising and incomplete. The verdict of the International Court of Justice in Hague has neither denied the truth nor does it confirm it in its full capacity. By confirming that the genocide and other heavy war crimes have been committed, crimes that have never and nowhere been carried out by the individuals without the support of a state powers, the verdict does not satisfy neither justice nor the rights of the victims of these crimes. It is not true that Serbian people committed these crimes, but neither is it true to say that individuals planed and carried out those crimes, these lies are invented only to suit the criminals, their collaborators and supporters. As a verdict that does not represent the satisfaction of justice neither in equality of rights nor in balance of a crime and a punishment for it, the verdict of the International Court of Justice in Hague demands a reconsideration in a political sense and the institutionalization of its legal drawbacks.
