This is the evidence that, in 1999, leading UK politicians,
especially Tony Blair and Robin Cook
-
misled parliament and the British people
-
conspired with Madeleine Albright, Javier Solana and
others to fabricate a totally dishonest case for the bombing
of Yugoslavia
-
showed contempt for the United Nations and international
treaties
-
are guilty of the gravest offences against peace and
international law
-
showed contempt for democracy by
deceiving parliament
signing up to a revised NATO Treaty without a word of
debate, discussion, or explanation in parliament
allowing no vote in parliament on a decision with
serious moral, legal, economic and international
implications - the decision to attack a country which
was not a threat to Britain
aiding and training the KLA, an unelected tiny
minority of Kosovo Albanian terrorists and racist ethnic
cleansers who were rejected by almost all other Kosovo
Albanians
waging an all-out war on behalf of these terrorists,
and taking over Kosovo on behalf of western business
interests, causing a humanitarian, economic, and
ecological disaster throughout Yugoslavia
6. by means of using selective and dubious evidence and
spurious claims are guilty of contributing to a campaign
of demonisation of the Serb people - downright
racism.
Tony Blair and Robin Cook were part of a conspiracy to
present a misleading picture of the nature of events in Kosovo
and contrive an elaborate pretence of carrying out negotiations
at Rambouillet. The conduct of talks, with a threat to bomb one
party if it didn’t sign a prepared “agreement”, was illegal
under international law and an affront to common sense and
morality. Negotiations were abandoned when they could have been
continued, and an outrageous demand was made on Yugoslavia (for
a military occupation of the whole country by NATO forces) with
the express purpose of preventing an agreement.
The bombing had been planned more than six months before the
setting up of the Rambouillet talks.
America, Germany and Britain, whilst pretending to attempt to
bring peace, had been training and equipping the terrorist KLA.
This was intended to escalate a serious problem into a major
conflict and give NATO the excuse to impose a military
“solution.”
From the preparations that were made, and subsequent action,
it is clear that NATO was not in the least concerned for the
well-being of any of the people of Yugoslavia, nor, despite
profuse claims to the contrary, was it concerned with freedom,
justice and democracy.
NATO governments bombed Yugoslavia to remove its Kosovo
province from Yugoslav control, impose a free-market economy and
a NATO military dictatorship there. The US planned to build, in
Kosovo, their largest overseas military base since the Vietnam
war, and to secure an access route to eastern mineral resources.
The bombing was a threatening display to the rest of the world
of NATO’s military might, a severe warning to the world not to
thwart US expansionist plans.
There has been a momentous adverse reaction from most of the
world. This has brought about new alignments of major countries,
and fear and hostility in place of friendship. There is now a
new willingness to increase arms spending and, potentially, a
new and costly Cold War. The United Nations and international
law have been weakened by the contempt which NATO showed in
carrying out the bombing of Yugoslavia.
