BUENOS AIRES -- A group of independent intellectuals have held an ethical trial of NATO states and their leaders in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
The three-and-a-half-hour trial ended by convicting and demanding punishment for NATO leaders for crimes committed in the course of NATO's March 24-June 10 aggression on sovereign Yugoslavia.
The court strongly condemned Argentine President Carlos Menem's statements in support of NATO's air strikes, and upheld the Crimes Commission of the anti-war International Action Centre, sitting in New York.
The trial in Buenos Aires' Teatro del Pueblo rallied some thirty Argentine movements, parties, commissions, institutes and the Our Home expatriate association.
It was attended by representatives of the Movement for peace, sovereignty and solidarity, the Argentine Human Rights League, and the U.S. Jurists Association, among others.
Also present were representatives of Argentina's Literary Society Commission for international relations, Communist Party, and Independent Trade Unions, as well as the Buenos Aires University School of Philosophy Department for Human Rights, and others.
