Carla Del Ponte

Dick Marty, the author of an infamous report in 2010 entitled 'Inhuman Treatment of People and Illicit Trafficking in Human Organs in Kosovo', has been back in the headlines this month.

"A very, very dangerous man."

This is how the former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Carla Del Ponte, described the fugitive she hunted for more than a decade in order to bring him for trial for the first genocide on European soil since the defeat of Nazi Germany.

The first deputy PM and foreign minister spoke on Monday during the New Year's reception at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized for members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of the media.

This is according to Branislav Tapuskovic, who at the time participated in the proceedings before the Hague Tribunal, and who now told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that former Chief Hague Prosecutor Carla del Ponte also spoke about this in the past.

The U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria has gathered enough evidence for President Bashar al-Assad to be convicted of war crimes, a prominent member of the commission, Carla del Ponte, said in remarks published on Aug. 13. Del Ponte, 70, who prosecuted war crimes in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, announced last week that she was stepping down from her role in frustration at the U.N.

A member of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria said on Aug. 6 she was quitting because a lack of political backing from the U.N. Security Council had made the job impossible, Swiss national news agency SDA reported. 

The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia Carla Del Ponte left the UN Commission on Syria, reported the German TV channel ZDF, quoted by Focus.

Dissatisfied with the work of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria, its member and a former chief Hague Tribunal prosecutor has announced her resignation.

Carla Del Ponte told the Swiss daily Blick that the crimes committed in Syria are "worse than in the former Yugoslavia or Rwanda."

'The Weight of Chains 2' is a Canadian documentary film by Boris Malagurski dealing with neoliberal reforms in the Balkans and the effects of these reforms on all aspects of life in the former Yugoslavia, from politics, economics, military, culture and education to the media.

Hague convict Radovan Karadzic has told the daily Vecernje Novosti that he had "a secret agreement" with Richard Holbrook, a former US envoy for the Balkans.

According to Karadzic, the deal was for him to withdraw from public life after the signing of the Dayton Agreement (in 1995), while Holbrook would in return "leave him alone."
