Report
During
the week leading up to the tenth anniversary of Srebrenica,
the Time
for Justice Campaign sent copies of a petition with
7,945 names demanding for the arrests of Ratko Mladic and
Radovan Karadzic to President George Bush, NATO Secretary
General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, and High Representative
Paddy Ashdown.
The campaign
received replies from NATO and the High Representative.
Jaap De Hoop Scheffer, the
NATO Secretary-General, has urged the government of Serbia
to arrest Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, considered
to be responsible for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. Mr.
Scheffer met with the Serbian president two days after
endorsing the petition that calls for the arrest of the
two war criminals.
Reply from High Representative Paddy Ashdown
Reply from NATO Secretary General
The
following news article on July 18 refers to NATO pressing
for arrest of Mladic.
We would like to think that
we can take partial credit for this.
