Further to my post “Gotovina and Markac ICTY Appeals take an unexpected development” (21 July 2012) Mishka Gora has written an article well worth reading and taking in.

Reblogged from: Eyes of the Mind – The Official Blog of Mishka Gora

“…On the one hand, it is heartening that the Appeals Chamber is at least trying to appear as if they haven’t already made up their minds. They have raised the possibility that they could find both Gotovina and Markac not liable for unlawful artillery attacks and that they were not members of a joint criminal enterprise. Perhaps there is some common sense left in the Hague, after all…”

Mishka, I could not agree with you more. Excellent observation and analysis. Let’s hope for real justice and truth. Convicting based on some made up JCE theory must need pass a very difficult test of evidence and should be a very difficult conviction; and not a conviction like the one imposed on the Generals with little or no evidence; convicting on conjecture, hearsay and beliefs has no part in international criminal justice.

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
