NEW YORK -- Volume II of Yugoslavia's White Book on crimes that NATO committed during its March 24-June 10 aggression on the country was presented at the United Nations' New York headquarters on Friday.
Speaking of the book at a news conference, head of Yugoslavia's U.N. mission Ambassador Vladislav Jovanovic said that it contained irrefutable evidence that NATO and U.S. leaders had committed mass war crimes in Yugoslavia as well as crimes against peace and humanity and genocide.
Briefing reporters about Yugoslavia's activity in demanding the protection of its rights before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Jovanovic said that the perpetrators of these crimes would be eventually brought to justice.
He called attention also to indictments brought in against NATO by Ramsey Clark, a U.S. lawyer, champion of justice and president of the leading U.S. anti-war movement International Action Centre who opposes his country's interventionist policy, and by others.
Asked to comment on the situation in the Yugoslav republic of Serbia's Kosovo and Metohija province, Jovanovic said that a failure to comply with or selective compliance with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244, which guarantees Yugoslavia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, was yet another form of aggression on the country.
Referring to the demilitarisation of the ethnic Albanian terrorist organisation calling itself Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), Jovanovic said that an attempt was being made "through a farce" to legalise the terrorist organisation that is evidently massing weapons in Albania, Macedonia as well as Kosovo and Metohija.
