Big scandal:Swedish Television broadcasted the documentary A Town(Srebrenica)Betrayed

litwin · Nov 30, 2011

"Swedish Television (SVT) recently broadcasted the documentary "Staden som offrades" (A Town Betrayed) which covers the genocide in Srebrenica. Even if the documentary gives a biased impression and possibly makes false allegations, it comes as a surprise to me that the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has sent a latter to the CEO of SVT Eva Hamilton in order to point out errors in the documentary. Is this the role of the ICTY? In my forthcoming thesis I write the following on the responsibility of international criminal tribunals and courts to create a historic record."

whats your opinion about the errors or "errors" in the documentary and ICTY:s reaction

errors according International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY)

(a) That the Bosnian Muslim attack on Visnjica on 26. June 1995 was a marching order l8, for the Bosnian Serbs, somehow provoking the events that followed the fall of Srebrenica. Proceedings before the Tribunal have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Srebrenica was a planned killing operation and not a spontaneous act ofrevenge.

(b) That arms supplied to Srebrenica were connected to its ultimate fate and the implication that the male inhabitants of Srebrenica could have been spared, had they agreed to lay down their arms. Evidence from the exhumations that the Trial Chamber reviewed in the Krstic case shows that most ofthe victims were not killed in combat but in mass executions.

(c) That only c.2000 individuals were executed in the first 48 hours following the fall of Srebrenica and the implication that the remaining numbers killed afterwards were killed as military targets that those killed were company to battalion size groups trying to break through, with civilians with them, to their second core lines around Tuzla, who were just killed in large numbers by artillery fire, by machine gun fire because the Serbs were able to locate them.
