July 2006Die Tablas von Daimiel
Ein Umwegzeugenbericht zum Prozeß gegen Slobodan Miloševic
by Peter Handke
Seine Beziehung zu Serbien und Slobodan Miloševic brachte Peter Handke nicht nur viel Kritik, sondern oft auch undifferenzierte Diffamierungen ein. In Paris wurde eines seiner Theaterstücke vom Spielplan genommen, die Stadt Düsseldorf verweigerte ihm den zuerkannten Heinrich Heine-Preis 2006 - höchste Zeit nun, seine Sichtweise kennenzulernen. In "Die Tablas von Daimiel" erzählt Peter Handke, warum und in welcher Form er zum Zeugen der Kriege auf dem Balkan wurde. Hier macht er seine Einstellung zu den mörderischen Auseinandersetzungen, ihren Voraussetzungen und Konsequenzen, unmißverständlich – für jeden, der lesen will – deutlich.

Forensic Anthropology and Violations of International Humanitarian Law (The Case of the Former Yugoslavia)
(El caso de la antigua Yugoslavia)
by Edixon Quiñones Reyes
In 1989, Slobodan Milosevic, president of the Yugoslav Communist League, implemented a constitutional reform in which he deprived the republic of Montenegro and the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina of the vote in the confederation's Congress; in response, the republics of Slovenia and Croatia declared independence in 1991, followed by Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992; in the same year, in the autonomous province of Kosovo, Kosovar Albanians proclaimed independence and formed a parallel government. Seeking to maintain territorial control by force, Milosevic launched war campaigns against Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992 and Kosovo in 1996, in which violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) were committed. In order to prosecute those responsible for violations of IHL in Yugoslavia, the UN established the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 1993. As part of the Tribunal's investigations, forensic anthropology played a key role in the collection of much of the evidence that was used to prosecute those involved. This book recounts the dissolution of the Yugoslav confederation; it gives an account of the origin and competencies of the ICTY and presents a synthesis of the forensic anthropological work carried out between 1996 and 2002, emphasizing three forensic operations in which the author participated in 2001.

True war & combat storiesAppartement 102 - Omarska
Ein Zeitzeugnis
by Jadranka Cigelj
Vergewaltigung als Waffe im Krieg! Jadranka Cigelj, bosnische Kroatin, Rechtsanwältin, Politikerin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin, wurde am 14. Juni 1992 zwei Monate im Konzentrationslager Omarska eingekerkert, dem berüchtigten von Serben errichteten Lager im bosnischen Krieg. Der Raum im KZ Omarska, in dem sie mit siebzehn weiteren Frauen gefangen gehalten und gefoltert wurde, war „Appartement 102“. Schonungslos offen schildert sie das tägliche Überleben in einer entmenschlichten Wirklichkeit, in der Folter, Vergewaltigung und das Töten mit Messern und Fäusten zum Alltag gehörten, ausgeführt von Menschen, die sie bis dahin als Nachbarn, Kollegen und Freunde kannte. Ungefähr 3000 Männer, meist bosnische Muslime, wurden in Omarska ermordet, dessen Kommandant, Željko Mejakić, wegen Kriegsverbrechen vor dem Tribunal in Den Haag angeklagt ist. Frau Cigelj war eine von 37 gefangenen Frauen in Omarska, fünf von ihnen wurden getötet. Sie lebt heute in Zagreb und ist Zeugin der Anklage in diesem Prozess. Zeitzeuginnen

Military life & institutionsApril 2014The Art of Military Coercion
Why the West's Military Superiority Scarcely Matters
by Rob de Wijk
The United States spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined. And Western nations in general spend far more than developing nations around the globe. Yet when Western nations have found themselves in conflicts in recent decades, their performance has been mixed at best. In his fully updated new edition of The Art of Military Coercion, Rob de Wijk presents a theory on the use of force. He argues that the key is a failure to use force decisively, to properly understand the dynamics of conflict and balance means and ends. Without that ability, superiority of dollars, numbers, and weaponry won't necessarily translate to victory.

International relationsMarch 2018The Libya War
The use of rhetoric and deception to destroy a state
by Ola Tunander
The war in Libya has become a humanitarian disaster. This book reveals the dishonest methods that were used to influence world opinion to accept the need for a “humanitarian intervention” in Libya in 2011. It draws a picture of an operation in which a number of actors collaborated towards a common goal: to oust Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi . In 2011, the news media reported that Gaddafi had launched a genocide. Today we know that this claim was false. This book explains what actually happened during the war in Libya, and how everyone was deceived.
