IGC Letter to Canadian political officials regarding Vuk Jeremic  agenda in the Unated Nations

Distinguished Prime minister,
Distinguished Excellencies,

Allow us to address You on behalf of the survivors, victims and witnesses of the aggression on Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its citizens and to request that on April 10th of this year at the UN General Assembly, where public discussion titled “Role of the International Criminal tribunal in accomplishment of justice and lasting peace between nations”, Canada uses its influence as one of the most respected members of the UN and not to allow representatives of the member nations whose citizens were convicted of war crimes by international courts and whose governments still refuse to acknowledge conviction for genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina which has been delivered by a number of international legal bodies, to actively participate in this event.

Letter to High Representative Inzko

Mr. Valentin Inzko                                                                                                                            
High Representative

The Office of the High Representative
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Dear High Representative Inzko,
 
We are writing to express our grave concern about the decision taken by the Republika Srpska Ministry of Physical Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology, for the Višegrad municipality to carry out the destruction of a memorial erected in the Stražište cemetery, the central Muslim cemetery in Višegrad. The memorial was erected on May 25, 2012. On the same day, sixty Bosniak victims of the genocidal aggression were laid to rest in the cemetery, having been exhumed from the nearby river Drina and from Lake Perućac barely two years earlier in the late summer and early autumn of 2010.  Many of the victims had been murdered on the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge and thrown into the river in 1992. When repairs on the nearby dam caused the river level to drop, the Bosnian Missing Persons Institute was able to locate the victims’ remains in the riverbed and Lake Perućac.

Letter to Professor Kimberly

Dear Professor Kimberly:
 
As concerned representatives of American, Canadian, and European organizations and as intellectuals, we are requesting that you distance your organization from the comments made in the exclusive interview by Edward S. Herman, Professor Emeritus of Finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he spoke with host John Robles, the Voice of Russia, on his views regarding the events surrounding the Srebrenica Genocide -http://english.ruvr.ru/search.html?q=Dr+Edvard+Herman.
 
Edward S. Herman and other genocide deniers and revisionists of historic facts should not be allowed a platform to continue their hurtful campaign of double killing of the victims of genocide that occurred in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Letter to Dr. Persson

Dear Dr. Persson,

Thank you for your response. As human rights organizations we also believe in freedom of expression however there are times when freedom of expression can deeply offend and impede on the rights of other individuals. Our statement seems to reflect Lone Star’s policy on freedom of speech. According to Lone Star’s policy regarding freedom of speech: II.D.1.09 - Use of College or System Space for Speech Activity indicates that “Any acts that are disruptive to the normal operations of the System or college sites including but not limited to classes and college business, or invades the rights of others will not be permitted.”

Letter to John J. Theis 

Dear John J.Theis,

On behalf of survivors of the Genocide that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), we are deeply concerned with your decision to host Dr. Michael Parenti as a guest speaker on Tuesday, February 5, 2013.[i] Dr. Parenti, a self-proclaimed “Balkan Revisionist” and author of To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia explicitly denies that genocide, systematic rape of women and girls and ethnic cleansing ever took place in BiH.[ii] Dr. Parenti places the blame on Bosniaks for the Genocide in Srebrenica and other massacres that took place throughout the war of aggression on BiH.

Protest Letter to Ban-Ki-moon

Your Excellency,

On behalf of 350,000 Bosnian Americans, and 50,000 Bosnian Canadians we would like to express our disappointment at your attendance of the concert held at the United Nations that was organized by Vuk Jeremic, Foreign Affairs Minister of the Republic of Serbia. The concert was a scandalous insult to the victims of genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) because the orchestra played the infamous and offensive Serb nationalist song “March on the River Drina”.

January 9th Marks the Beginning of Genocide Against Bosniaks

On January 9th, 1992, the Bosnian Serbs led by indicted war criminal Radovan Karadzic forcibly self-proclaimed the so called “Serb Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina”.  This event can be historically classified as the official beginning of the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and genocide against non-Serbs.
