Travesty of justice



Travesty of justice
Corriere della Sera, Milan, Italy: The trial that should have provided justice for some of the most violent crimes against humanity in Europe since 1945 is finishing as a farce that risks being prolonged until 2008.
The stalemate with the trial of Slobodan Milosevic stems from the variegated charges against him that do not target the main crimes. In the Balkans, the despot Milosevic disguises himself as a "victim" insulted by "democratic prosecutors," while the NATO air raids in defense of the Albanians are twisted into "war crimes" and the judges are reduced to insignificant characters.
However the trial ends, the last Yugoslav despot has reset the tribunal justice back to zero.
