PRISTINA -- Bernard Kouchner, U.N. mission chief in Kosovo-Metohija, persists in violating and arrogantly misinterpreting U.N. Resolution 1244, as evident from his latest regulation of the judicial system, announced on Tuesday.
Kouchner has set up a court of appeals and a public prosecutor's office, appointed judges, a public prosecutor and deputy prosecutor, according to a statement released by the U.N. civilian mission (UNMIK) to that province of the Yugoslav republic of Serbia.
Kouchner has also set up two advisory commissions to advise him on matters of technical organisation of the judiciary, appointment of judges and appeals against their work.
Neither U.N. Resolution 1244 nor the Kumanovo military-technical accord give the UNMIK chief the right to interfere or change anything in the judicial system.
Once again, Kouchner has exceded his authority and demonstrated his disrespect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and Yugoslavia, seeing as the judicial system is a pillar of every state.
