The death of Slobodan Praljak if it was epic

[zvoneradikalni]

30 godina od rušenja Starog mosta u Mostaru 😢

Da se ne zaboravi kako su 9.11.1993. vojnici Hrvatskog vijeća obrane pod komandom Slobodana Praljka odradili jedan od najgnjusobnijih činova u ratovima 90-tih 😡.

¿Por qué nos gusta lo grotesco?

Uno de los videos más vistos en YouTube es el video de un criminal de guerra del Genocidio de Bosnia, Slobodan Praljak, quien bebió veneno durante su juicio en La Haya, Países Bajos. Los videos más grotescos incluyen la decapitación de periodistas o imágenes de guerra, que nunca rechazamos y siempre consumimos. Sin embargo, ¿por qué los medios sienten la necesidad de mostrar imágenes y videos tan grotescos? Mi interpretación: las imágenes extremas y provocativas no nos permiten darles la espalda, así informan y documentan la realidad vivida de la guerra o de las tensiones sociales y nos obligan a ser conscientes de dicha realidad. En consecuencia, creo que las pinturas pueden representar el sufrimiento, la injusticia y la guerra de la misma manera. Además, las pinturas nos permiten mirar hacia atrás y hacer una crítica, un examen reflexivo, del pasado. Un ejemplo es la pintura de Otto Dix “Cadáver en alambre de púas”, donde Dix representa a un soldado en la segunda guerra mundial sometido a un sufrimiento sin sentido con el fin de criticar la segunda guerra mundial y darle un espacio a las victimas del conflicto. Ahora, en otra ocasión le quisiera dedicar toda una entrada a Dix, pero hoy quisera hablar sobre el Cronos de Goya.

Francisco de Goya, en su cuadro “Saturno devorando a su hijo”, representa a un padre, Cronos, que se come la cabeza de su hijo. La razón detrás de este crimen bárbaro fue solo una profecía que Cronos quería asegurarse de que no se hiciera realidad: Cronos iba a ser asesinado por uno de sus hijos, al igual que él mató a su padre. Paseando por los pasillos del Prado uno no está permitido poner la otra mejilla y alejarse de este cuadro sumamente provocativo. Uno mira la pintura y siente miedo solo para luego descubrir que los políticos y los criminales de guerra cometen crímenes similares: matan porque sienten una fuerte repulsión hacia sus víctimas, odian lo que representan en sus vidas. Goya utilizó este cuadro como un acto de rebelión hacia el Gobierno español. Este cuadro fue pintado durante el establecimiento de un gobierno liberal en 1820 que luego fue derrocado por los franceses en 1823. Así, Goya, a través de este cuadro, puede estar utilizando a Cronos como metáfora de la corona francesa y española que devoraba las esperanzas de todos los jóvenes que soñaban con un gobierno liberal. Las pinturas provocativas envían efectivamente un mensaje sobre la guerra, la violencia, el sufrimiento y los crímenes que prevalecerán a lo largo de la historia. La representación de la guerra demuestra la verdadera naturaleza de la violencia en nuestra especie.

Pinturas como “Saturno devorando a su hijo” o como el video del criminal de guerra, por más grotescas que sean, siempre serán consumidas porque nos generan curiosidad, nos genera curiosidad ver a los extremos a los que llega el egoísmo humano y la violencia que logramos infringir en otros seres humanos. Estas pinturas y estos videos nos recuerdan que por más de que seamos seres dotados de racionalidad, somos igual de crueles que cualquier otro animal sobre la tierra.

"Judges! Slobodan Praljak is not a war criminal! With disdain, I reject your verdict!"

Slobodan Praljak (in Croatian), Croatian general and convicted war criminal, before drinking a vial of cyanide in court

[bl00000g]

No, guys, I don’t think you guys get how big of a win this is.

Once you’re on the ICC war crime list (which he IS) you never get off.

The oldest nazi to be tried was 101 years old.

Putin can never leave Russia. He’ll be imprisoned for the rest of his life. Fuck, if he ever gets disposed or overtaken he’ll probably get arrested by ICC.

There’s a reason Slobodan Praljak committed suicide in the ICC court room.

One thing about International Criminal Court (ICC) starting a case against Russia is that there is already a case against Russia submitted by Georgia after 2008 invasion but to this day the results are inconclusive and by inconclusive I mean the ICC doesn't give two shits about Georgia and it keeps dragging the investigation for years despite Georgia proving sufficient evidence against Russia.

What Im trying to say is that yes, good job for ICC that they began, yet again, a case against Russia but they now have two cases against Russia and it shows how ridiculously they failed first time, so im not very optimistic about any swift results.

Team Alpha Project

Hello, dear readers.

 We wanted to present you a preview of our research that we are working on as the Alpha Team. Our research was conducted in order to understand the impact of war on people.

War and chaos have been a part of our world since the beginning of humanity. There have been thousands of wars from the past to the present, and they have been studied and recorded by many different sources. When we looked at these records, the most striking thing that caught our eye was the experiences of civilians.

In our research, we have a general question to answer, "What are the effects of war on civilians? Breaking this question a little, we asked: "What are the  cultural and intergenerational effects of a war on civilians? And how a war may influence the lives of the civilians of other nations?

According to our research, some of the articles published on our topic described the impact of war on children, while another one talked about the generational impact of war on people. We also examined some other articles as well, in order to learn what has been discovered regarding our research subject. We also found a gap in our literature review, which was the cultural effects of war.

To answer our questions, as well as to cover the gap, we provided 4 hypothesis.

1.Hypothesis: When the number, duration and intensity of wars increase, the negative approaches of the warring parties towards each other increase.

Undoubtedly, one of the most important face of a war is its cultural face.The country of one side can be invaded, or the people of another side can be massacred. Such events, regardless of the winner or loser, have a bad effect on people's thoughts about each other. We pay attention to 3 different areas that affect these bad thoughts: the number, duration and severity of the war. As an example of this, the mostly-negative approach of Muslim countries towards Israelis, from Morocco to Indonesia, can be provided. Of course, the reason for this is the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and the intense actions that Israel takes to preserve it's occupation. Serbia can be given as another example. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Serbs entered into many different wars. People like Slobodan Praljak have caused the Serbs to be, sadly, associated with war crimes.

2.Hypothesis: If the complexity of the war and the number of actors participating in the war increases, the impact of the war on the people in the region and beyond also increases.

There are many examples related to such multiplayer wars. The War in Ukraine, is one of them. The disruption of the European economies, gas shortage, wheat crisis in Africa and the middle east, are only of some of it's effects. Another case is the Syrian civil war. There are many terrorist organizations such as ISIS, PKK, al-Qaeda, FSA, as well major countries such as Iran, Russia, Turkey, the United States and the European Union that are involved.

3.Hypothesis: The experience of an annexation during the war has a great intergenerational impact on the civilians of the annexed region.

Annexing force might apply harsh treatments against annexed people. The most famous example of this are Nazi Germany and the Colonial Empires. The Nazis massacred the Jews in the regions they annexed, while the Colonial Empires, on the other hand, committed many atrocities against the inhabitants and natives.

4.Hypothesis: Civil war is worse than foreign war.

Civil war is much more dangerous than foreign war. Because in a foreign war, the enemy is outside, and systems such as education, economy, security continues to function for the warring parties, unless the war is highly intense. However, in a civil war, these systems cannot continue to work properly. As a result, these wars mostly tend to be much destructive and bloodier. An example of this hypothesis is that the number of people who died in the Syrian Civil War is much higher than the total number of people who died in the Syrian-Israeli wars, not to mention how great it's damage was on the infrastructure, economy, security and other aspects of life in Syria.

We have chosen 3 methods to test our Hypothesis.

1.We selected case analysis as our first method. The reason we chose this method is that we have 4 different cases that we can examine and there are special information we need about each case. Our cases are in order: the Turkish-Greek Wars (from the Greek War of Independence to the Cyprus crisis), the Sino-Japanese War (World War II), the Iraq-Iran War and the Bosnian War. The Turks and the Greeks have been fighting each other for many years. (1.The Balkan War, the Turkish War of Independence and the Cyprus Crisis) Serbs were heavily involved in the Bosnian Civil War. Iran and Iraq fought the second longest conventional war of the 20th century, while the Chinese and Japanese experienced some deadly and bloody conflicts in the World War II.

To investigate these cases, we will be divided into 2 groups and each group will consist of 2 people. These groups will go to a country of their choice and stay in that country for 3 months and collect information on our subject. They will conduct surveys,  interviews and analyze the files and documents regarding each war.

This method is also used for our third hypothesis. We have selected 4 cases for this hypothesis as well. Israel's annexation of Palestinian territories, Japan's annexation of Korea, America's annexation of Texas and Russia's annexation of Kaliningrad. In order to understand the intergenerational and cultural effects of these annexations, we decided to hire researchers who are who have a master degrees on Social sciences, and who have Palestinian, Mexican, German and Korean nationalities. These researchers will go to the annexed regions, and each group will conduct research in their own country for 5 months. While these investigations are taking place, our team will always supervise the process.

We have decided to choose interview for our second hypothesis. Lecturer of International Relations and American Foreign Policy, Dr.Ayşe Nur Çetinoğlu Harunoğlu, had a 20-minute interview on December 29th about our subject. We also have further plans to organize other interviews with  5 other experts as well, within 3 months.

And our last method was to prepare a survey. Our survey consisted of 21 questions, and our main goal was to find out the public's view on civil war and inter-state war. We have prepared our survey in 3 different languages, and we had 56 people who participated in 48 hours. We will share the results we have obtained in our main article.

‘UBIJALI SMO, SILOVALI I PROTJERIVALI!’ Kakav šok: Hrvat pismom priznao strašne ratne zločine

BIO JE LIDER HVO-A Bivši bosanskohercegovački političar Bruno Stojić koji je u Haagu osuđen na 20 godina zatvora zbog ratnih zločina i zločina protiv čovječnosti, pismom je priznao krivnju za sve ono što mu se stavljalo na teret i to samo kako bi ga se ranije pustilo na slobodu. Bruno Stojić bio je dio osuđene šestorke kojoj su, osim njega, pripadali pokojni Slobodan Praljak, Jadranko Prlić, Berislav Pušić, Milivoj Petković i Valentin Ćorić. Kao bivši ministar obrane tkz. Hrvatske Republike Herceg-Bosne i predstojnik HVO-a tijekom Rata u Bosni i Hercegovini optužen za progone na političkoj, rasnoj ili vjerskoj osnovi, ubojstvo; silovanje, deportacije, zatočenja, nečovječna djela, hotimično lišavanje života, nečovječno postupanje i slično, no sve je to tijekom sudskog procesa negirao. Stojić je sada Međunarodnom sudu u Haagu poslao zamolbu za ranijim puštanjem iz zatvora, a u zahtjevu priznaje sve što mu se stavljalo na teret, kaje se za sve učinjeno, te traži oprost od obitelji žrtava:    

Lider HVO-a sve priznao

“Ja sam potpuno pravično osuđen za takve zločine jer se moja presuda temelji na mojim radnjama i na onome što sam ja učinio. Možda mi je trebalo neko vrijeme da to u potpunosti prihvatim, ali sada to zasigurno prihvaćam upravo na takav način.” U nastavku vrlo precizno navodi ratne zločine za koje prihvaća odgovornost: “Bez obzira na težinu tih zločina, kao i činjenicu da Vam je zasigurno poznato za šta sam sve, potpuno ispravno proglašen krivim, želim, također pokazati sa se moje javno i istinsko kajanje zbog toga što sam učinio i čega sam bio dio, odnosi na ubojstvo i civila i pripadnika Armije RBiH, silovanja, zatočenje i sistemsko i prinudno protjerivanje Bošnjaka/Muslimana uključujući djecu, žene i starije, uništavanje njihove imovine, sistemsko i prinudno protjerivanje. Nadalje, odnosi se i na opsadu Mostara i patnje koju je takva opsada proizvela na bošnjačko/muslimansko stanovništvo uključujući granatiranja, snajpersku vatru i oskudicu hrane i vode i ometanje dostavljanja humanitarne pomoći. Ne umanjujući težinu bilo kojeg od ovih zločina želim iskazati i kajanje zbog zločina počinjenih u zatočeničkim centrima i zatvorima u Ljubuškom, Heliodromu, Gabeli i Dretelju”.    

“Učinio sam užasne stvari, zločinački poduhvat se nije smio dogoditi”

Stojić je, donosi Oslobođenje,  priznao kako je bila riječ o udruženom zločinačkom poduhvatu: “Nažalost i sam dugo nisam želio to prihvatiti i poricao sam da se tako nešto uopće dogodilo. Sada nakon suđenja i žalbenog postupka u mogućnosti sam sagledati sve one užasne stvari koje sam učinio i priznam kakvu strašnu pogrešku sam napravio slijepo slijedeći takvu politiku odbijajući da prihvatim ili uopće razmišljam o neoprostivim posljedicama za sve žrtve zločina… Koncept udruženog zločinačkog poduhvata mi možda i nije bio jasan u pravnom smislu, ali sam sada potpuno svjestan šta on zapravo znači i što je bio. Kao svoju najveću grešku smatram što sam bio dio takvog udruženog zločinačkog poduhvata koji se nigdje i nikad više ne bi smio dogoditi.” Dnevno.hr Foto : Wikipedija Read the full article

RIP

[anatomyofcrime]

Former Bosnian Croatian war lord, Slobodan Praljak, committed suicide at the Hague on the 29th of November 2017 by drinking poison after shouting “I am not a war criminal”. This came moments after his appeal against a 20-year sentence was turned down. This sentence came from his conviction for his role in the unlawful imprisonment and murder of Bosnian Muslims. 

According to a UN press release, he was charged and convicted of:

nine counts of grave breaches of the Geneva conventions.

nine counts of violations of the laws or customs of war

eight counts of crimes against humanity.

As he had already served more than two thirds of his sentence, he would have probably been released soon.
