Bosnia-Herzegovina and the UN Security Council

Bosnia-Herzegovina has been elected to a seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Letter to the Editor: Is another Balkan disaster on the way?

The Obama administration is paying attention to the Balkans in locations such as Bosnia-Herzegovina where the nasty Serbian ultra-nationalists are interested in demanding a breakup of the Eastern European nation

Challenge in Bosnia

The Obama administration is concerned over the intransigence and lack of co-operation from the groups that currently domiate Bosnia-Herzegovina’s parts.

Dropping charges for the deaths of children  

It is disgusting that the International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, Netherlands, is strongly considering dropping genocide charges against former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.

Karadžic and the UN charges

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić has demanded that 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, be dropped due to his claim that former US assistant secretary of state Richard Holbrooke promised immunity for war crimes prosecution if Karadžić removed himself from public and political life.

Fifteen years since the Srebrenica massacre 

It has been 15 years since 8000 Bosnian men and boys were executed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Co-operating with ‘war criminals’

Reports say that a wanted war criminal from the war in the Republic of Congo named Bosco Ntaganda has been actively working with the United Nations Forces in the troubled region.

Letter to the Editor: History in the Balkans

As tensions rise in Bosnia-Herzegovina with the possibility of another terrible war in the Balkan nation that has seen billions of dollars of American reconstruction monies poured into its infrastructure, the United States now has another possible foreign policy challenge to deal with.

The Radovan Karadžić trial

The trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić being shortened, but with an additional genocide charge, is a very good action by the International Criminal Tribunal For the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

TO THE EDITOR: Bosnian Serb arrested for war crimes

The arrest of Serbian war criminal Stojan Zupljanin is an important step forward for justice for the victims of the genocide in Bosnia-Hercegovina, as well as for humanity. Zupljanin is the third highest war criminal wanted by the United Nations, charged with genocide, mass murder and crimes against humanity. The two remaining high-level war criminals include Radocan Karadic and Ratko Mladic who remain free and are believed by the United Nations to be in Serbia. Could the arrest of Zuplanin signal that Karadic and Mladic's days are numbered, perhaps as Zuplanin is believed to have been a major supporter and protector of both Karadic and Mladic, both of whom are wanted in connection to the July 1995 massacre of 6000 Bosnian youth in and around the city of Srebrenica?

TO THE EDITOR: Another Balkan war?

The Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo have threatened to restart the Balkan wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina that destroyed the Former Yugoslavia in the 1990s if the United Nations grants independence to the disputed region of Kosovo. These threats from the Serbs to make war in one location (Bosnia) because they do not get what they want in another place (Kosovo) is a terrible indication of the terror-minded Serb

TO THE EDITOR: End the suffering

Human rights workers and activists should not forget about the suffering that the men, woman and children of Bosnia-Herzegovina continue to be affected from as a result of the torture, murder, rape and starvation of much of their country. The people of Bosnia continue to suffer the trauma and pain of the genocide and war of aggression from 1992-1995. The world committed terrible crimes against the

TO THE EDITOR: Mostar: An Update

The Bosnian Muslim population of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina continues to live in a war-shattered country that is fragmented politically and socially. The Dayton Agreement has forced the Muslim-dominated Bosnian government to share power with the former HVO Croatian political group that shelled the Bosnian Muslim population in the eastern Herzegovinan capital of Mostar. The Bosnian and Herzegovinian

TO THE EDITOR: Problems of wars remain

When the United States is faced with a foreign challenge such as war, many times crucial issues and results remain unattended to. Both the democratic and republican parties and leaders are responsible for this. When problems such as violence, political turmoil and destruction follow wars in places including Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan, these countries' people continue to suffer. This suffering will be the building

TO THE EDITOR: Bosnia-Herzegovina: Peaceful but no peace

Germantown, Maryland
United States

The current American government policy of supporting the Serbian and Croatian territories in the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina rewards some of the world's worst war criminals and makes future peace and prosperity a dim reality for the people of much of South Eastern Europe. The United States backs and supports both the Republika Srpska as well as the former Croatian terror regime formerly known as the HVO that
