Vulliamy and Hartmann on Srebrenica: A Study in Propaganda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Posted Jul 26, 2015 by David Peterson and Edward S. Herman<\/p>\n

In their recent article on \u201cHow Britain and the US Decided to Abandon Srebrenica to\u00a0Its Fate\u201d (Observer, July 5, 20151) (1), Ed Vulliamy, a veteran reporter for the Guardian and Observer newspapers, and Florence Hartmann, a reporter and former spokesperson for the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), do a remarkable job of standing history on its head. They do this by the selective use of evidence, including major suppressions of relevant facts; by taking as established truths matters about which there is serious dispute; by a racist underpinning that is clearly hostile to ethnic Serbs; by literal fabrication; and by kitchen-sinking their readers, with quotes from many officials and other sources that fail to prove anything, but that help them to build up the desired atmosphere of an appeased evil.<\/p>\n

Vulliamy and Hartmann\u2019s (hereafter V-H) main themes are that the Srebrenica killings of July 1995 were a result of murderous Serb expansionism combined with U.S., British, French, Dutch, and UN appeasement. As regards this appeasement policy, V-H state: \u201c[A] survey of the mass of evidence reveals that the fall of Srebrenica formed part of a policy by the three \u2018great powers\u2019 \u2014 Britain, France and the U.S. \u2014 and by the UN leadership, in pursuit of peace at any price; peace at the terrible expense of Srebrenica, which gathered critical mass from 1994 onwards, and reached its bloody denouement in July 1995.\u201d They go on to add: \u201cBosnia\u2019s carnage had confounded the world\u2019s most experienced diplomats: ineffective talks and plans had played out and failed for three bloody years.\u201d And along the same line: \u201cdiplomats also courted the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic . . . as they ineffectively sought his\u00a0cooperation.\u201d(2)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The authors never mention that there were ongoing civil wars in the former\u00a0Yugoslavia from 1991 till the Dayton Agreement of November 1995 (3),\u00a0<\/span>primarily within\u00a0<\/span>Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Croatia, and Srebrenica was one of several Bosnian Muslim enclaves within Bosnian Serb-controlled territory \u2014 hardly a sustainable situation in a state of civil war. But this allows V-H to pretend that preserving Srebrenica\u2019s autonomy was urgently important, when in fact it was widely recognized to be unsustainable and exchanging it for Bosnian Serb-held territory in mainly Muslim areas of Bosnia had been actively discussed by all parties, including among Srebrenica and Sarajevo Muslims. But V-H go to great pains to make those discussions involving the great Western powers sound like a straightforward selling out of Srebrenica\u2019s Muslim population. In fact, it was nothing of the kind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

V-H refer repeatedly to the victimization of the Muslims in eastern Bosnia, with Srebrenica\u2019s population \u201cswelled by displaced deportees, cowering, bombarded relentlessly and largely cut off from supplies of food and medicine.\u201d(4) \u00a0Only Bosnian Muslims are mentioned as victims. And nowhere do V-H even mention, let alone discuss, the fact that Bosnian Muslim troops operating from their base in Srebrenica regularly carried out deadly raids on nearby Serbian towns. Instead, they repeatedly mention that Srebrenica had been designated a \u201csafe area\u201d by Security Council resolution (5), decrying the failure of the \u201cinternational community\u201d to supply sufficient troops to protect it, but never once mentioning that by two separate agreements between the Bosnian Serbs and the Sarajevo Muslims, Srebrenica was also supposed to be demilitarized, but never was.(6)<\/p>\n

Naser Oric, the commander of Bosnian Muslim troops in Srebrenica, openly bragged to two Western journalists of his exploits in killing Serbs in the vicinity of the enclave, reportedly grinning as he showed one of them his videos of beheaded corpses.(7)<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0V-H never mention Naser Oric, though they do mention his brother, Mevludin, \u00a0<\/span>whom<\/span>\u00a0they\u00a0<\/span>describe as \u201c[o]ne of the very few men to survive the killing fields,\u201d and who has long served as a witness for the prosecution at the ICTY; it is a striking fact that in his numerous contributions on Bosnia to the Guardian and Observer since August 1992, Vulliamy has never once mentioned, let alone discussed, NaserOric\u2019srole.(8 ) \u00a0But this is understandable and has been explained by Vulliamy himself \u2014 he is not a journalist but a propagandist, declaring in 1993 that \u201cwith Omarska and Trnopolje objective coverage of the war became a rather silly notion,\u201d that he had instead to \u201cdeclare a partiality,\u201d and that he was now \u201con the side of the Bosnian Muslim people against an historical and military program to obliterate them for daring to suggest that three closely related Balkan \u2018peoples\u2019 could try to live together in the same\u00a0country as they had done for centuries.\u201d(<\/span>9) Omarska and Trnopolje were Serb-run prison camps, and Vulliamy has written about and mentioned them many times for\u00a0<\/span>the Guardian and Observer beginning onAugust7,1992.(10) \u00a0 \u00a0Celebici, on the other hand, was a Bosnian Muslim-run prison camp, and a brutal one at that,(<\/span>11) but Vulliamy has never written about or even mentioned it for the Guardian and Observer,\u00a0<\/span>as doing so might have disturbed his commitment to the Bosnian Muslims, who also happened to be the side supported by the British government. V-H also never mention that Yugoslavia was a state in which the Balkan peoples had lived together in relative harmony since the end of the Second World War, prior to the breakup supported by the NATO powers, the Bosnian Muslims, and V-H.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One scholarly study documents 3,262 Bosnian Serb victims, of whom 2,383 were civilians, all killed in the Srebrenica and Bratunac municipalities in the years 1992 to July 1995.(12) \u00a0Alluding to Naser Oric\u2019s handiwork, Colonel Thom Karremans, a Dutch military officer and the eventual leader of Dutchbat III in the Srebrenica enclave in 1995, stated during a press conference in Zagreb on July 27, 1995: \u201cWe know that in the area surrounding the Srebrenica enclave alone, 192 villages were razed to the ground and all the inhabitants killed. That\u2019s what I mean when I say \u2018no good guys, no bad guys”.(<\/span>13) \u00a0UN Sarajevo commander Lieut.General Philippe Morillon testified before the ICTY that \u201cNaser Oric was a warlord who reigned by terror in this area and over the [Srebrenica] population itself.\u201d \u00a0Morillon was also asked directly by Judge Patrick Robinson of the ICTY: \u201cAre you then saying, general, that what happened in 1995 was a direct reaction to what Naser Oric did to the Serbs two years before?\u201d Morillon replied: \u201cYes. Yes, Your Honour. I am convinced of that.\u201d(14) \u00a0Although they do quote both Karremans and Morillon, V-H somehow missed these statements by them, which do not support their hugely biased analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Quoting Morillon and discussing Naser Oric and his role would also have disturbed the V-H program of demonizing Serbs and making Bosnian Muslims all innocent victims. V-H mention Serb \u201csavagery\u201d and bloodthirsty \u201cpursuit of a racially pure \u2018statelet\u2019,\u201d and feature their threats of violence at Srebrenica; elsewhere, Vulliamy has spoken of \u201cSerb barbarism\u201d and that Serbia was a \u201cpale but unmistakable reflections the Third Reich”.(15)<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Bosnian Muslims are never cast in a bad light. Morillon told the ICTY that Naser Oric \u201ccould not allow himself to take\u00a0prisoners. According to my recollection, he didn\u2019t even look for an excuse.\u201d(<\/span>16) \u00a0But for V-H the Bosnian Muslim leaders were solid democrats. V-H write that in the spring of 1992, \u201cafter multi-ethnic Bosnia voted for independence,\u201d Serb savagery began. They\u00a0<\/span>fail to mention that the 1974 Yugoslav Constitution empowered the constituent\u00a0<\/span>\u201cnations\u201d to decide on such matters, which they were not allowed to do. But V-H also\u00a0<\/span>fail to note that the president of this newly independent state, Alija Izetbegovic, was a\u00a0<\/span>dedicated politically reactionary Muslim who greatly admired Iran, Pakistan, and\u00a0<\/span>Saudi Arabia, and openly asserted in his Islamic Declaration the \u201cincompatability of\u00a0<\/span>Islam with non-Islamic systems\u201d and rejected both peace and coexistence \u201cbetween\u00a0<\/span>the Islamic religion and non-Islamic social and political institutions.\u201d(17)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The V-H claim that the \u201cbetrayal\u201d of the Srebrenica \u201csafe area\u201d population by the U.S.,\u00a0Britain, and France was in pursuit of \u201cpeace at any price\u201d is laughable. A much better case can be made that these dominant Western powers tried to avoid peace at any price. From 1992 up to the Dayton Agreement of November 1995, a series of peace plans, starting with the Cutileiro (Lisbon) Plan in early 1992 and including the Vance-Owen, Stoltenberg, and Contact Group Plans, were tried but failed. According to mediator David Owen in an interview in early February 1993, a settlement was doable, \u201cBut we have a problem. We can\u2019t get the Muslims on board. And that\u2019s largely the fault of the Americans, because the Muslims won\u2019t budge while they think Washington may come into it on their side any day now. . . . It\u2019s the best settlement you can get, and it is a bitter irony to see the Clinton people block it.\u201d(18)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

But while the United States successfully blocked these peace plans, it did fight hard for the right to bomb the Bosnian Serbs, which it obtained through Security Council resolutions in March and June 1993, (19) \u00a0thereby allowing it to bomb the Bosnian Serbs in May and August-September 1995. This escalating violence may have been a factor\u00a0<\/span>in producing the Dayton Agreement, but that agreement was at this juncture sought by the United States, which in the process imposed a protectorate on Bosnia and Herzegovina under a High Representative, and as John Laughland observes, to this day, the powers of the High Representative are the \u201conly thing that holds together an entirely bogus state.\u201d(20) \u00a0It should be noted that each of the failed peace plans was supported by Milosevic, contrary to V-H\u2019s claim that the Great Powers sought Milosevic\u2019s help \u201cineffectively.\u201d If the United States had wanted peace from 1992 onward, there would have been peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After having stoked the civil wars and violent dismantling of Yugoslavia of 1991-1995, the United States \u2014 with the help of the ICTY \u2014 stoked a crisis in Kosovo which it used to force a war against Serbia, a war which enabled the U.S.-led NATO bloc to occupy Kosovo and later separate it from Serbia, and left Serbia a crushed and subservient state.\u00a0(<\/span>21) \u00a0The construction and use of the ICTY to demonize Serbs was\u00a0part of the war-making plan, as the ICTY called for refusing to negotiate a settlement\u00a0with, and pursuing as criminals, Serb targets (22). This hardly fits theV-H portrait of Western peaceniks and appeasers. Rather it fits a war model, with the serial non-peaceful developments in Yugoslavia from 1991 onward rooted in U.S., British, French, and German geopolitical aims.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Not surprisingly, the Srebrenica massacre also fits well a framework that features U.S. war sponsorship and direct action leading to the bombing and virtual surrender and deformation of Serbia, and U.S. and NATO hegemony over the entire map of the dismantled Yugoslavia. The result of the massacre was to deal a huge propaganda blow to Bosnian Serbs and Serb interests more generally, thereby justifying a further demonization of all Serb leaders \u2014 and the eventual 1999 military assault on Serbia.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

So the massacre was useful, and its death \u2014 and especially its execution \u2014 toll was almost surely inflated to heighten its utility.<\/p>\n

V-H make the fall of Srebrenica a matter of U.S.-U.K.-French-and-UN (Dutchbat III) failure to protect the Bosnian Muslim \u201csafe area\u201d population against a Bosnian Serb plan that all of them had allegedly known about for \u201csix weeks before [the] massacre.\u201d \u00a0V-H quote what they explicitly refer to as the ICTY\u2019s \u201cruling that the killings were premeditated well in advance.\u201d And they add that in the \u201cconviction of the Bosnian Serb general Radislav Krstic for aiding and abetting genocide at Srebrenica, the court ruled: \u2018Without detailed planning, it would have been impossible to kill so many people in such a systematic manner in such a short time, between 13 July and 17 July\u2019.\u201d(23)<\/p>\n

V-H attributed the final sentence (\u201cWithout detailed planning, . . .\u201d) to either the judgment or the judgment on appeal in the case of Prosecutor v. Radislav Krstic, decided on August2, 2001, and April 19, 2004, respectively.(24) However, a careful search of each of these judgments in the Krstic case fails to find this quote, or any meaningful part of it, anywhere within these documents. Clearly, V-H\u2019s attribution of this quote to the Krstic case is at best a serious error on their part, and at worst a dishonest fabrication. The Observer should correct the error, and investigate this matter further.<\/p>\n

As regards V-H\u2019s claim that in the Krstic case, the ICTY ruled that the Srebrenica \u201ckillings were premeditated well in advance,\u201d in at least two separate paragraphs in the August 2, 2001 judgment, the trial chamber ruled that, \u201cfollowing the take over of Srebrenica in July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces devised and implemented a plan to execute as many as possible of the military aged Bosnian Muslim men present in the\u00a0enclave.\u201d(25) \u00a0Following the take-over of Srebrenica manifestly does not mean\u00a0<\/span>\u201cpremeditated well in advance\u201d and with \u201cdetailed planning,\u201d much less \u201csix weeks before,\u201d contrary to V-H\u2019s false claim. Thus, whereas V-H quote an apocryphal statement that conforms to their biases, they failed to quote actual statements that run contrary to these same biases. The Observer should correct this error as well, and investigate this matter further.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

V-H also quote ferocious-sounding statements attributed to Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, supposedly showing the nature of their own and Bosnian Serb savagery yet to come. They quote Mladic as saying to a Serb assembly regarding Srebrenica\u2019s Bosnian Muslim population, \u201cMy concern is to have them vanish completely,\u201d with Karadzic pledging \u201cblood up to the knees\u201d if and when Srebrenica fell.(26) \u00a0But such statements are of little value in a fair accounting of processes at work here. Neither Mladic nor Karadzic was giving instructions to their subordinates, and\u00a0the context is unclear. V-H didn\u2019t quote here (and Vulliamy never does in his writings for the Guardian and Observer, either) wartime Croatian President Franjo Tudjman\u2019s instruction to his military leaders just before Operation Storm, that the \u201cpurpose of this discussion today [is] to inflict such a blow on the [Krajina] Serbs that they should virtually disappear.\u201d(27) \u00a0Unlike the quotes attributed to Mladic and Karadzic, however, this was a direct instruction by Tudjman to his subordinates, not general, inchoate expressions. And in fact, within days of his statement, most of the Serbs were ethnically cleansed from the Krajina region of Croatia and Bosnia during \u201cOperation Storm.\u201d But this instruction was given by a regional leader hostile to the Serbs and supported by the United States, Britain, and France, and to quote it would cast a Western favorite and Serb opponent in an unfavorable light, and reveal the Serbs also as victims, not simply genocidal criminals. So V-H managed to miss it on July 5, just as Vulliamy himself has missed it throughout his entire career.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In keeping with their political and ideological biases, V-H take it as a given that the Serbs executed some 8,000 men and boys at Srebrenica \u2014 they even claim the \u201cmurder [of] more than 8,000. . . .\u201d They cite a general in the Dutch defense ministry who claims (in their paraphrase) that the \u201cUN then provided 30,000 litres of petrol which proved necessary for the genocide,\u201d so that this petrol was used \u201cto fuel transport of men and boys to the killing fields, and bulldozers to plough the 8,000\u00a0corpses into mass graves.\u201d(28)<\/p>\n

But, by the time of the Krstic decision in August 2001, only 2,028 corpses had been unearthed at these \u201cSrebrenica-related\u201d mass graves,(29) and these bodies included an unknown but large number of combat fatalities, as is evident by the nature of their\u00a0wounds.(30) \u00a0So after a six-year search, where were all of the 8,000 Bosnian\u201cmen and\u00a0<\/span>boys\u201d ploughed into these mass graves? Why has there still been no imagery intelligence released by the United States into the public realm of alleged Bosnian Serb executions, burials, exhumations from \u201cprimary\u201d graves, and reburials in \u201csecondary\u201d graves?(<\/span>31) Why didn\u2019t the same Bosnian Serb forces of the Drina Corps and related paramilitaries kill the Muslim prisoners that they captured at the Zepa \u201csafe area\u201d in late July? And why did the Bosnian Serb forces medically treat a fair number of wounded Bosnian Muslims, and send them on to Tuzla?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It is true that in the days prior to the July 11, 2015, 20th anniversary commemoration of the \u201cSrebrenica massacre\u201d at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial Center and Cemetery, the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) released its most current data on the number of persons identified through DNA analysis from the \u201cSrebrenica-related\u201d graves. As of June 18, 2015, the ICMP reported that a total of 6,930 persons had been identified, of which it claimed it had identified 6,827 using DNA matching techniques, while the remaining 103 had been identified using\u00a0conventional methods.(32) \u00a0But DNA profiling is powerless to determine either the manner of death (death in combat versus death in a criminally meaningful sense, such as by execution) of the persons whom it helps to identify, the date on which someone died, or the place where someone died. Moreover, the ICMP\u2019s work remains inscrutable. In refusing to make the records of the ICMP\u2019s lab work available to the Karadzic defense for independent testing and verification, the ICTY\u2019s prosecutor argued that \u201cThe ICMP is not obliged to provide 300 [or any number] of sample case files to the Accused under any procedure or subject to any\u201csecondary\u201d graves?(<\/span>33) \u00a0Were this Tribunal a U.S. court of law, the ICMP\u2019s reported\u00a0results would have been in violation of American Bar Association Standards for the use of DNA evidence and ruled inadmissible.(34) \u00a0But when introduced in the context of the 20th anniversary of the \u201cSrebrenica massacre,\u201d they were accepted as gospel\u00a0<\/span>truth, revealed from on high and redoubtable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

V-H have no answer to serious questions such as these \u2014 in fact, they never even raise them. The institutionalized truth about the 8,000 Srebrenica \u201cmen and boys\u201d has become unchallengeable \u2014 based not on evidence, but global political muscle.<\/p>\n

A Cowardly Betrayal of a \u201cSafe Area\u201d Population or a Sacrificial Justification for \u201cHumanitarian Intervention\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ed Vulliamy and Florence Hartmann make their accusations against the Great Western Powers for the \u201cbetrayal\u201d of Srebrenica\u2019s \u201csafe area\u201d population, but they never address the question of why the Sarajevo Muslims themselves betrayed the enclave. Why didn\u2019t the 28th Division\u2019s 5,000-6,000 men, for so long led by their commander Naser Oric in this \u201cdemilitarized\u201d zone, stay and fight to defend these people? The Bosnian Serb Army had failed to dislodge them for the previous three years, and if it had attacked in force while they were still present, there is every reason to believe that on this occasion NATO airpower would have been mobilized on their behalf. The critical literature repeatedly points out that a contingent of Srebrenica leaders had met with the Bosnian Muslim President Alija Izetbegovic in Sarajevo in September 1993, and that Izetbegovic informed them that he had been told by the U.S. President Bill Clinton that a \u201cNATO intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina was possible, but could only occur if the Serbs were to break into Srebrenica, killing at least 5,000 of its people.\u201d(35) \u00a0Whether or not this story is true, it turned out that the 8,000 number did the trick nicely and played an important role in the escalated U.S.-NATO interventions that followed.<\/p>\n

In sum, V-H have everything upside down. It was the war parties in the U.S. and Sarajevo that profited from and brought about the Srebrenica massacre. As Carl Bildt, the former Swedish prime minister and E.U. envoy to the former Yugoslavia,\u00a0once remarked, \u201cthere would be no peace in Washington until there was war in the Balkans.\u201d(36) The Bosnian Serbs killed manyBosnian Muslim soldiers and executed an unknown number, but they had fallen into a trap that eventually cost them and their Belgrade allies dearly. V-H criticize the Great Western Powers for their alleged sellout of Srebrenica, but beneath their feeble intellectual fa\u00e7ade they are once again trashing the Serb enemy and putting in a good light not only the Bosnian Muslims, but even the bumbling U.S., British, and French who supposedly failed Srebrenica but did right matters eventually and did successfully dismantle Yugoslavia, and put ethnic Serbs into pariah status and their political leadership in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As a testament to his newfound commitments, Vulliamy added that his coverage of the wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina had changed him: \u201cat least it has had an effect sufficient to change some of my most fundamental views. I was a serious pacifist who believed that all war was wrong; now I believe that war is necessary to end things that are even worse than war. And what is happening to the Bosnians is worse than war. . .\u201d (p. 10).<\/p>\n
