ROMA 3 GIUGNO 2000

VIA PIETRO COSSA 40 – SALA UNIVERSITA’ VALDESE

DALLE ORE 9.00

PROIEZIONE VIDEO, MOSTRE FOTOGRAFICHE

TRIBUNA APERTA TRA I COMITATI E LE ASSOCIAZIONI



ORE 15.00

SESSIONE FINALE DELLA SEZIONE ITALIANA DEL
TRIBUNALE INDIPENDENTE CONTRO I CRIMINI DELLA
NATO IN JUGOSLAVIA

Il 31 luglio 1999 hanno avuto inizio a New York le attivita' del
"TRIBUNALE
INTERNAZIONALE INDIPENDENTE CONTRO I CRIMINI DELLA NATO IN
JUGOSLAVIA", promosso da Ramsey Clark, con la stesura di 19 punti di
accusa contro la NATO
ed i governi occidentali.

Le attivita' del "Tribunale" hanno trovato seguito in molti altri paesi
del mondo. In Italia il primo
novembre 1999 alla presenza di Ramsey Clark ha preso il via la sezione
italiana del Tribunale. Nel
corso di questi mesi, confortati dal crescente interesse suscitato e
dalle numerose iniziative di
presentazione del "Tribunale Italiano" in molte citta', abbiamo potuto
verificare con dati oggettivi
la veridicita' delle nostre accuse.

A completamento del lavoro svolto in questi mesi, noi sottoscritti
firmatari di questo appello
accusiamo le massime autorità della Repubblica in carica nel marzo 1999
- in particolare il
presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Massimo D'Alema e i ministri del
governo per la
partecipazione alla guerra illegale e il Presidente della Repubblica
Oscar Luigi Scalfaro per non
aver difeso la Costituzione - nonchè i loro successori per quanto
attiene ai crimini in continuità
con l'aggressione armata, ciascuno secondo la personale responsabilità
scaturente dalle diverse
competenze, azioni e
omissioni:

per avere collaborato attivamente all'aggressione contro la Repubblica
Federale Jugoslava, paese
sovrano da cui non era venuta nessuna minaccia nè all'Italia nè ai suoi
alleati;

per avere violato tutti i principi del diritto internazionale e in
particolare la Carta delle Nazioni
Unite, i principi del Tribunale di Norimberga, le Convenzioni di Ginevra
e i protocolli aggiuntivi
sulla tutela delle popolazioni civili nonchè lo stesso trattato
istitutivo della NATO;

per aver consentito che dal proprio territorio partissero attacchi
contro istallazioni e popolazioni
civili, condotti su obiettivi e con armi appositamente studiate per
infliggere il massimo danno,
anche protratto nel tempo, alle persone e alle loro condizioni di vita
(attacchi deliberati contro
strutture civili, bombe a grappolo);



per aver danneggiato l’economia della costa adriatica con la chiusura
degli aeroporti civili;

per aver consentito lo smaltimento nelle acque territoriali italiane di
ordigni bellici non utilizzati
causando danni alle persone, all’ambiente all’economia;

per aver consentito l'utilizzo in maniera massiccia di proiettili e
missili all'uranio impoverito
causando danni incalcolabili e per un tempo indeterminato contro le
popolazioni della Federazione
Jugoslava e dei paesi limitrofi, con enormi rischi attuali anche per i
volontari civili e per i militari
italiani impegnati nel Kosovo.

per aver partecipato al bombardamento di impianti chimici e farmaceutici
causando
deliberatamente danni ambientali di enorme rilevanza tali da configurare
una vera e propria guerra
batteriologica, chimica e nucleare;

per aver violato la Costituzione italiana e aggirato le procedure che
essa impone in caso di guerra
(concepibile solo come difesa da attacchi contro il nostro paese e i
suoi alleati);

per aver collaborato alla politica della forza di occupazione della NATO
che obiettivamente ha
portato alla instaurazione di un potere criminale nella provincia
jugoslava del Kosmet e alla
persecuzione ed espulsione della popolazione di etnia serba e di altre
etnie non albanesi, nonchè
degli albanesi considerati indesiderabili dal nuovo potere;

per avere obiettivamente tollerato l'emergere e il consolidarsi di un
potente centro di attività
criminali a ridosso del nostro paese nel triangolo
Albania-Kosovo-Montenegro;

per avere attivamente collaborato ad affamare e sacrificare la
popolazione della Jugoslavia con
l'imposizione di misure di embargo internazionalmente illeggittime;

per avere attivamente collaborato a esercitare pressioni e ingerenze
contro un paese sovrano e le
sue legittime istituzioni;

per avere inviato truppe e personale civile a governare territori
ridotti di fatto a nuovi protettorati e
colonie in violazione della stessa risoluzione ONU 1244;

per aver messo in piedi al fine di giustificare l'intervento militare
la scandalosa campagna della
MISSIONE ARCOBALENO e per avere mentito al popolo italiano al fine di
convincere l'opinione
pubblica della necessità di partecipare alla guerra;

per avere rinunciato all'esercizio della sovranità del nostro paese e al
diritto-dovere di controllo di
tutte le attività che vi svolgono comandi, strutture e mezzi militari
stranieri;

per avere acconsentito a modificare, senza nessuna decisione del
Parlamento, lo statuto della
NATO.

Queste accuse, saranno esposte e ampiamente documentate il 3 giugno a
Roma nella sessione
plenaria del Tribunale Indipendente contro i crimini NATO costituitosi
in Italia che si terrà presso
l'Università Valdese (via Pietro Cossa 40) e saranno quindi portate a
New York, dove il 10 giugno
si riunirà il Tribunale Internazionale Indipendente promosso dall'ex
Ministro della Giustizia USA
Ramsey Clark.

Invitiamo tutti i cittadini, le associazioni, le personalità consapevoli
della necessità di impedire
che tali crimini siano perpetuati e diventino anzi la norma delle
relazioni internazionali, a sostenere

l'iniziativa della sezione italiana del Tribunale Clark e la raccolta di
testimonianze e documenti e
partecipare attivamente all'assemblea del 3 giugno a Roma.

>from the list of undesired citizens of Yugoslavia drawn up by the European
>Union and United States.
>
> Speaking at a press conference for home and foreign reporters,
>Matic said this assassination was not an individual act by a maniac, but
>"organized murder which has a deep ideological and political background,
aimed
>at the further destabilization of Yugoslavia from outside, by the same
mentors
>who carried out the armed aggression and all forms of pressures on our
>country."
>
> Matic said the assassin, Milivoje Gutovic, 50, a sympathizer of
>the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) and an activist of the Otpor
("Resistance")
>organization, was found to possess a pamphlet on "Terrorism - a form of
>special warfare and who are the assassins of Aldo Moro" and other documents
>which indicate that this murder was planned.
>
> Asked by reporters whether new arrests could be expected in
>connection with Perosevic's assassination, Matic said an investigation was
>under way and added, quoting an official Interior Ministry statement, that
>persons who are believed to have ordered the killing and instigated this
>action were also being investigated and that Gutovic was not the only
person
>arrested so far.
>
> Yugoslavia is today "faced with the concept of an active
>destabilization through terrorism and crime which is infiltrated from
>Republika Srpska and partly from Montenegro, and whose mentors are the very
>ones who loudly speak about democracy and human rights," said Matic. The
wave
>of terrorism set off by part of the vasal political opposition in Serbia
with
>the creation of the Otpor ("Resistance") organization is extremely
reminiscent
>of the political terrorism of the Red Brigades in Italy in the late
seventies,
>he said.
>
> "We are today witness in our territory to absolutely the same
>practice which had been present in Italy at that time - murders of
prominent

sanctions
>and all kinds of pressure in order to crush our just struggle," the federal
>information minister said.
>
> "We can openly say that the structures of aggression still
remain

main
>champions of pressuring have not been dismissed, some of them, and those
who
>have been proven unsuccessful, have been sacked. However, economic pressure
is
>still strong, which is aimed at isolating the country and forcibly changing
>the socio-political system and the legally elected authorities. There is a
>tendency to create such a system in which society will be vulgarized, with
>stoked criminal activities, and the subsistence level brought on by the
>sanctions becoming the regulator of social relations in Yugoslav society,"
>Matic said.
>
> "Countries which lecture us on democracy and freedom are

> Pointing out that heroic defense and major results in the

Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 07:10:12 +0300 From: P.Treanor@... [Add
to Address Book] Subject: B92 "solidarity" money goes to Soros Fund To:
thrace@...

B92 "solidarity" money goes to Soros Fund

The new FreeB92 website carries an appeal for funds in
solidarity.

http://www.freeb92.net/donations/index.html

------

It asks for money to be sent to a New York Bank account
of the Media
Development Loan Fund. It is a US Foundation, part of
the network of Soros'
Open Society Institute, and listed as such at their
main site:

http://www.soros.org/minidir.html

-----

Here is the main MDLF site
http://www.mdlf.org/about.html

Its activities are described as

"MDLF was founded in late 1995 to meet the financial
needs of the new
independent news organizations that had taken root in
the former communist
states of Central and Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union. While these
news organizations were politically independent and
practiced responsible
journalism, they lacked access to affordable capital
and often were
inexperienced in the art of commerce. As a result, they
could not subsist and
develop with only their own revenues.....From its
inception in December 1995
through April 1999, MDLF has made or committed to make
low interest loans and
other financings totaling approximately US $10.6
million to media institutions
in 11 countries.

Staff are listed at
http://www.mdlf.org/contact.html

the Board at
http://www.mdlf.org/board.html

---

The Media Development Loan Fund is therefore a main
channel for Soros funding
of media in eastern Europe. However, as with many of
Soros' projects, it has
other sources of funds:

http://www.mdlf.org/donors.html

- Eurasia Foundation (http://www.eurasia.org)
- J.M. Kaplan Fund
- Knight Foundation (www.knightfdn.org)
- MacArthur Foundation (www.macfdn.org)
- Open Society Institute (www.soros.org)
- Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency
(SIDA) (www.sida.se)

-----

It works closely with the Swedish Helsinki Committee,
which in turn acts as a
channel for funds from the Swedish government. Their
site says this about its
cooperation with the MDLF

http://www.ihf-hr.org/shc/current%20projects%20shc.htm#Other
Activities

"Co-operation with the Media Development Loan Fund
(MDLF), a Soros institution
in Prague, was established during 1997 and will be
further developed this
year. The aim of this co-operation is to support media
organisations in the
region of the former Yugoslavia, through loans on
favourable terms. The
co-operation with MDLF and SHC is based on funds
provided by the Swedish
International Development Co-operation
Agency, Sida, and Open Society Institute (New York
foundation)."

---
According to the site of the International Center For
Journalists MDLF started
in 1995, and now works with the USAID agency on the
Media Viability Fund,
indirectly controlling newspapers in Russia and the
Ukraine.

http://www.internews.ru/ICFJ/27/fund.html

"Money loaned would be provided by the Prague-based
Media Development Loan
Fund, an independent, non-profit agency established in
1995 by the Soros Foundation."

---

Sasa (Sasha) Vucinic is according to the IWPR site

http://www.iwpr.net/iwpr/about.htm

"executive director of the Media Development Loan
Fund (Prague and New York) and former director of Radio
B-92
in Belgrade"

Vucinic is also an IWPR Trustee.

----

The MDLF in Praha (Prague) also runs the Center for
Advanced Media Prague:

http://www.mdlf-camp.net/about.html

"established in early fall 1998 with the aim of
introducing new media concepts
and solutions to independent media and non-governmental
organizations in
Eastern Europe"

----

Now, the question is, why should anyone send money to
George Soros? I think
that he has enough already. No doubt the other funds
financing the MDLF also
have a lot of money already. So has USAID, a US
government agency.

It seems bizarre to send these wealthy organisations
money, so that they can
control the media in eastern Europe. Probably, the idea
is to create the
impression of political solidarity with B92 rather than
collect money. The
Soros funds and other financiers of the so-called
"independent media" in
eastern Europe have been very successful in presenting
their campaigns as
grassroots solidarity actions, making good use of the
Internet. But it is
certainly an extraordinary hypocrisy to deceive people
into thinking they are
sending their 10-dollar donation to a struggling
"radical" radio station -
when in fact it is going to the Foundations of one of
the worlds richest men.

Chief Tasks of a Serbian Expert
Government

Within a one-year transitional period, the chief tasks of a Serbian
Expert Government will be the following:

I Reconstruction and Economic Reform

1. Reconstruction of the demolished infrastructure, so as to
secure a normal life to the population during the next winter:

reconstruction of the electric and energy infrastructure
reconstruction of the public heating system and fuel supply
(gas, crude oil)
reconstruction of the demolished housing fund
initiation of the transport infrastructure reconstruction and
its modernization (bridges, roads, gas and oil pipelines)

2. Inclusion of Serbia and Yugoslavia in the international
community and all relevant international institutions, securing the
following:

immediate lifting of all sanctions, together with a so-called
"outer wall of sanctions"
immediate inclusion of Serbia in the Stability Pact for
South-East Europe and all accompanying financial
arrangements
renewal of membership in the key international financial
institutions (IMF and WB) till the end of 1999; Serbia will
thus obtain a free approach to the world capital market and
fulfil the conditions for solemn foreign investments essential
for economic reconstruction of the country
swift solution to the problem of succession with formerly
Yugoslav republics
start up of negotiations on a "newly associated member" of
the European Union, as of January 1st, 2000
inclusion in all relevant regional integrations and free trade
with South-East European countries.

3. Radical economic reforms

introduction of a stable currency (consisting of three phases:
introduction of a dual currency monetary system; issuing of
a new domestic convertible currency through the institution
of a currency board; a full "euroization" as of January 1st,
2003, presuming a complete integration in the European
Union monetary system
renewal of confidence in the financial system (full integration
of the banking system in the international financial system,
reform of the domestic banks and free inflow of the foreign
banks of high reputation; initiation of payment of the foreign
debt towards the population, renewal of domestic savings,
crediting of the economy and the population)
equilibrium of the government budget and beginning of the
fiscal reform (substantial reduction of tax rates, radical and
immediate simplifying of the tax system so as to be based on
a few tax rates, increase of the public revenues through
legalization of the turnover in the shadow economy,
reduction and gradual elimination of delays in tax payments
through the increase of the fiscal discipline and motivation
of tax payers to adhere to their duties in time, introduction
of the elements of an integrated information system by
providing the electric cash registers, etc.)
foreign trade liberalization (abolishment of all export and
import quotas/except for agriculture/and their replacement
by appropriate tariffs; substantial tariff reduction with
securing relevant budget compensations by the European
Union; export preferentials to the European Union;
abolishment of all trade limits with the neighboring
countries; immediate annulment of exit tax)
relatively swift, binding and transparent privatization,
stimulation to the capital market development; privatization
will be conducted combining the direct sale and voucher
privatization
social and health security for the most vulnerable categories
of citizens (refugees, unemployed, retired, employed in the
public sector) through a special fund to overcome budgetary
difficulties; such a fund will be partially formed from the
domestic capital, while foreign donations will constitute its
major portion; without such a fund at the very beginning, the
economic reform has no chances to succeed.



II Reform of the legislature and solution to all issues
in the federation of Serbia and Montenegro [NOTE their adoption of
State Department POLICY not to refer to
Yugoslavia by name]

agreement with the Government of Montenegro on
jurisdiction and composition of a Federal Transitional
Government
irrevocable affirmation of the rule of law
preparation and enforcement of the several key laws
The Law on University
The Law on Judiciary and Judges Appointment
The Law on Local Self-Governance

upon a proposal by the Expert Government, relevant laws in
the monetary area, foreign currency rate and foreign trade
can also be brought, if the Federal bodies do not perform
their duties in the interest of Serbia and in compliance with a
concept of the economic reforms conducted in it.



III Preparation of Free Elections at all Levels

free media and information, a new Law on public information
electoral laws:
Law on Deputies and Councilmen Election
Law on Political Parties
Law on Political Parties Financing
control of the electoral process in compliance with the
OSCE principles.
