BM, BOSNA SOYKIRIMI VE KÜRESEL ADALET

Soğuk Savaş’ın sona ermesinden sonra uluslararası siyasi düzenin karşı karşıya kaldığı önemli sınavlardan biri olan Bosna’daki iç savaş ve savaş sırasında işlenen uluslararası suçların kovuşturulması ile ilgili sorunda BM, küresel adaleti sağlama konusunda oldukça başarısız bir sınav vermiştir. Çatışmaların başlamasından itibaren edilgen ve etkisiz bir tutum sergileyen BM, mahkemenin kurulması ve yargılamalar sırasında da bireylerin haklarını koruyucu bir politikadan çok siyasi dengeleri gözeten bir tutum içinde olmuştur. Savaş suçlularını yargılamak için kurulan mahkeme’nin öncü sayılabilecek kararlarında ise BM’nin değil gönüllü çalışan sivil toplum örgütlerinin önemli rolleri söz konusudur.

BM, Bosna Soykırımı Ve Küresel Adalet

The United Nations has failed to effectively address the international crimes committed in the Former Yugoslavia during the civil war that broke out in early 1990s. The UN had a difficult test when it failed to both take effective measures to prevent the clashes and prosecute the perpetrators of the war crimes committed in the combat zone. The UN, which has remained passive and inactive during the conflict, paid particular attention to considering political balances rather than the pursuit of justice. To this end, it adopted a reluctant approach towards the International Criminal Tribunal (ICTY) set up to prosecute the war criminals in Former Yugoslavia. The success stories of this tribunal may be attributable to the indespensable role played by the non-state actors which remained committed to the collection of war crimes evidence from combat sites. Civil society actors also took an aggressive stance during the hearings before the Tribunal, which issued pathbreaking rulings that gave a new direction to international criminal law.
