A Look at Two Unbelievable Documents from The Hague<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nby Jared Israel\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n[Posted 12 December 2002]<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n

I have just read two documents from The Hague Tribunal. Both include\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nstatements that are simultaneously so outrageous and at the same time so\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmatter-of-fact that I thought, \"This man cannot possibly be saying what\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nit appears he is saying.\" But in both cases, \"This man was saying excactly what it <\/span>\r\n\r\nappeared that he was saying.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe documents are a) a note from Hague Tribunal President Claude Jorda\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nand b) cardiologist P.R.M. van Dijkman's November 18th report on\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSlobodan Milosevic. Both are posted below.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTwo thoughts about these documents.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirst, The Hague's treatment of Slobodan Milosevic, such as the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndeliberate withholding of proper medical care and the worsening of his already\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nlife-threatening conditions, amounts to torture. That was the ruling of\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe UN Commission on Human Rights in a situation involving a much less\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nserious medical condition. For more on that UN ruling, see\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/emperor.vwh.net\/icdsm\/motion.htm#FNote4<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
Second, the torture of Milosevic is an analogue for NATO's torture of\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYugoslavia: systematic, brutal and politically motivated.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nLet us read and analyze the documents.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJudge Claude Jorda is President of The Hague Tribunal (ICTY). The\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nNovember 27th letter was his response to an October 13th letter from Freedom\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFoundation (Sloboda) in Belgrade. Sloboda requested urgent action to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nprevent the death of Slobodan Milosevic. So: Freedom Foundation writes\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJorda on October 13; Jorda responds to Freedom Foundation November 27.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThat's 44 days. How long does he take when it is *not* an emergency?<\/span>\r\n\r\nMore comments after the letter:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/pre>\n

Judge Claude Jorda President\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Hague, 27 November 2002\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nDear Mr Raicevic,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nI received your correspondence dated 13 October 2002 in which you share\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nyour concerns about Mr Milosevic's medical condition and request his\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nprovisional release so that he may receive appropriate medical treatment\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nin the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nI wish firstly to inform you that your request does not fall within the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nprovince of the President of the International Tribunal. Pursuant to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nRules 65 and 74 bis of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nInternational Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, it is for the Trial\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nChamber seized of the case to order the medical examination of an\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\naccused and to rule on requests for provisional release. I am taking the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nliberty of pointing out to you that Trial Chamber III ruled on the matter\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\non 6 March 2002.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMoreover, the question of organising the hearings is the responsibility\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nof the Trial Chamber which ensures the proper conduct of the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nproceedings with respect for the rights and health of the accused. In this\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nrespect, Trial Chamber III is taking due consideration of Mr Milosevic's\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmedical condition when scheduling the hearings. Furthermore, like all the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndetainees, Mr Milosevic is receiving close medical attention of a high\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nquality from the medical staff of the United Nations Detention Centre.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs Registrar of the Tribunal, Mr Holthuis is following the situation\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nclosely and will, if necessary, keep you informed of changes in Mr\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMilosevic's medical condition. Yours sincerely,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\/signed\/ ___________________ Claude Jorda\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMonsieur Igor Raicevic\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nPresident Assembly of the Freedom Association [Sloboda]\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n[End Letter]\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOk, some comments on Judge Jorda's letter:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOn March 6, the trial chamber did indeed rule on Freedom Association's\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nfirst request for the provisional release of Slobodan Milosevic.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHowever, contrary to Mr. Jorda's assertion, that request *did not even\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmention* Mr. Milosevic's health. Moreover, the court made its ruling without\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nconsidering arguments by the amici (court-appointed attorneys who\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncomment on the proceedings) or for that matter by Mr. Milosevich, who has\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nsome interest in the outcome of the decision.<\/span>\r\n\r\nPresident Milosevic's health has deteriorated sharply since then. The\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndeterioration was publicly admitted by Judge Richard May, President of\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nTrial Chamber III. Judge May stated on July 26 that:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"We have received a doctors' report which in its conclusion states that\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe accused is a man exposed to a serious cardiovascular risk which\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nrequires careful health monitoring in the future. The authors of the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nreport advise a reduction in the workload of this trial and advise further\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ntreatment by a cardiologist.\" - ICTY transcript, 26 July 2002.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFollowing the resumption of proceedings after the summer recess the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ntrial chamber did *not* decrease Mr. Milosevic's trial schedule. Instead\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthey increased his hours in court to a full day, that is, to a greater\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nworkload than was the case when Judge May addressed the issue on July\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n26!\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe focus of Freedom Foundation's October 13th letter was precisely to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncriticize the Trial Chamber's blatant disregard of the medical report:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
October 13, 2002<\/span>\r\n\r\nDear Mr. Jorda,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAfter our several letters to ICTY and many appeals of organizations and\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nindividuals from Yugoslavia and other countries, aiming to secure the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nproper life and health conditions for President Slobodan Milosevic, we\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncame to the conclusion that the whole construction of the process\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nagainst President Milosevic has as one of its intentions to break the health\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nand threaten the life of President Milosevic. In spite of the oral\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\npromises of Mr. Richard May and the Trial Chamber that they would follow\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe recommendations of the ICTY-appointed physicians, that President\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMilosevic should get a cardiologic check-up, appropriate health monitoring\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nand therapy, as well as that intensity of the process should be slowed\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndown - in spite of those promises, the only thing that happened is that\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe Trial Chamber has returned to whole-day-long proceedings. That is\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nwhy we demand release of President Milosevic and his return to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYugoslavia for recovery and appropriate specialists' medical treatment.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYours sincerely,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIgor Raicevic\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n

President Assembly of the Freedom Association [Sloboda]\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n-- Full text at www.icdsm.org\/more\/letterff.htm\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n[End Excerpt from October 13th Letter]<\/span>\r\n\r\nObviously this is not your typical request for provisional release or a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ntypical statement of concern about medical issues.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt is a complaint about *abuses* inflicted by the Trial Chamber. It was\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndirected to Judge Jorda because Judge Jorda presides over the whole\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\noperation. So Judge Jorda receives a complaint about Trial Chamber III, to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nwhich the learned Judge replies: 'That should properly be addressed to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe Trial Chamber III.'\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nDisregarding the content of the Freedom Foundation's complaint, Judge\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJorda states that:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"I wish firstly to inform you that your request does not fall within\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe province of the President of the International Tribunal.\"\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nBut in the same document, he also states:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"...the Trial Chamber III is taking due consideration of Mr Milosevic's\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmedical condition when scheduling the hearings.\"\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf the request by Freedom Association is not within Jorda's province,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthen why does he respond to it? Out of one side of his mouth he says,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n'This is none of my business.' But out of the other side of his mouth he\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nsays, 'We're handling this correctly.' Thus he concedes a) that Mr.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMilosevic's life is potentially in danger and b) that he has authority to\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndeal with the issue.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJudge Jorda gives The Hague high marks for the medical care it is\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nproviding to Mr. Milosevic:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Furthermore, like all the detainees, Mr Milosevic is receiving close\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmedical attention of a high quality from the medical staff of the United\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nNations Detention Centre.\"\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirst, Mr. Milosevic is not like all the detainees. He has a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nlife-threatening heart condition.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSecond, the medical staff referred to consists of: one doctor (a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ngeneral practitioner) and one nurse. Mr. Milosevic is visited daily by the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\none nurse, not by the doctor. She gives the President a pill. The doctor\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nis not a heart specialist. The nurse is gone on weekends.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo describe this as constituting \"close medical attention of a high\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nquality ...medical staff\" for a man with a life-threatening heart\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncondition leaves me speechless.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThird, on what basis does Judge Jorda makes this evaluation? Is it a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nmatter of faith? That is, having *faith* that The Hague Tribunal always\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ngives good medical care, is it therefore revealed to him that of course\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMr. Milosevic must be receiving good medical care? Is Mr. Jorda a judge\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nor is Mr. Jorda a priest? Because if this Tribunal is ruled by Priests,\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nwhy don't they just name it Inquisition and get it over with?<\/span>\r\n\r\nOr perhaps Jorda 'knows' Mr. Milosevic is getting good care because\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nafter receiving the Foundation's letter he investigated the matter. But\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nwouldn't such investigation itself constitute admission that Jorda has\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\njurisdiction concerning the issues raised? And if he did investigate why\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndid he not consult the Foundation which had brought the complaint?\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd given the life-threatening issues and most serious charges in the\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFreedom Foundation letter, why did it take Judge Jorda 44 days to reply\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthat he is not the right person to consider the issue?<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhy didn't he a) immediately send the letter to the right person and b)\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nimmediately contact Freedom Foundation to tell them he had done so?\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhat took him 44 days?\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMoreover, on 2 November Freedom Foundation sent Judge Jorda *and* Judge\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nMay (i.e., the President of Trial Chamber III) a *second* letter\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nraising the same issues, indeed more sharply, and citing UN rules that\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n*require* the Chamber to deal adequately with President Milosevic's heart\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncondition. This letter can be read at\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/emperors-clothes.com\/milo\/2nd.htm<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJudge Jorda and Judge May received this second letter 25 days before\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJorda's reply - but Judge Jorda entirely ignores the second letter.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nJudge Jorda's response is even more shocking in light of the report by\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe Dr. P.R.M. van Dijkman, the cardiologist who was - finally and only\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nonce - told to examine Slobodan Milosevic on Nov. 17th.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n*How a UN Doctor Deals with UN Medical Abuse *\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n[Start Report]\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Cardiac case history: Essential hypertension with secondary organ\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndamage: hypertrophy of the left ventricle.

During the tiring process of the trial, Mr Milosevic experiences a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncondition that looks like hypertensive urgency.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n(...) The treatment of increased blood pressure with medication\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ngenerally reduces the possibility of death by 11 percent, of coronary heart\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ndisease by 14 percent, of cerebovascular accident by 33 percent and of\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nvascular diseases (coronary heart disease or CVA) by 22 percent.

My advice on the matter as formulated in the letter of\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n19 August 2002 remains unchanged: sufficient rest periods in\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncombination with antihypertensive medication to keep the blood pressure at an\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nacceptable level.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n(...)

That is, he made medical recommendations\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nregarding a patient who suffered a manifestly life-threatening\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncondition *without examining the patient.* And why did he prescribe without\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nexamining the patient? Because The Tribunal did not *want* him to examine\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthe patient.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis behavior of a specialist *working for the United Nations* in a\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\ncase in which we charge the United Nations is acting as a weapon of NATO -\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nthis behavior illustrates the urgency of our demand that Mr. Milosevic\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nbe transferred to Belgrade's superb military hospital. There he will be\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nexamined by the best doctors, who are familiar with his medical\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nhistory, and who do not follow Hague Tribunal orders to violate their Oath by\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nprescribing treatment without properly examining the patient.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThat said, van Dijkman did at least state that the court urgently needs\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nto change Mr. Milosevic's conditions.
