Croatia:
Communication on unprocessed crimes during and immediately after the military operation "Storm"
Operation "Storm" is definitely broken rebellion of Serbs in Croatia, and time and broken self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK). This is the area re-established constitutional legal order of the Croatian Republic. Also, again, the inland route, traffic, connected to the south and north Croatian. This generated the safety assumptions of life in areas that are bordered with the "RSK" and to achieve right to return refugees to their homes, expelled from the area. At the same time, we should bear in mind the consequences of those actions embodied in the arson and looting and numerous unpunished, and even systematically covered up the killings of civilians. Research carried out by the Croatian Helsinki Committee, showed that in August and September 1995., During and after military action, the action of an integrated territory killed more than 600 civilians and burned more than 22,000 houses. Out of fear for personal safety as well as urging the authorities of Krajina, Croatia was then left more than 150,000 of its former residents, mostly Serbs. Their return was hampered by the security measures and justification for the rule of law on the part of Croatian territory, the delayed prosecution of war crimes, ineffective programs and return presporih government measures to encourage economic regeneration. The synergy of these elements resulted in the permanent emigration of the Serbian population from the fifth to the extent of the Croatian territory, which has the effect of ethnic cleansing.
Afghanistan
Anatomy of an Afghan War Tragedy
The Afghan travelers had set out early on the cold morning of Feb. 21, 2010, from three mountain villages in southern Daikundi province, a remote central region 200 miles southwest of Kabul. More than two dozen people were wedged into the three vehicles. Many were Hazaras, an ethnic minority that for years has been treated harshly by the Taliban. They included shopkeepers going for supplies, students returning to school, people seeking medical treatment and families with children off to visit relatives. There were several women and as many as four children younger than 6. … Hellfire missiles struck the first and third vehicles; they burst into flames. Qudratullah, one of the Afghan travelers, recalled, "The helicopters were suddenly on top of us, bombarding us." Dead and wounded were everywhere. Nasim, the 23-year-old mechanic, was knocked unconscious. "When I came to, I could see that our vehicles were wrecked and the injured were everywhere," he said. "I saw someone who was headless and someone else cut in half." The Predator crew in Nevada was exultant, watching men they assumed were enemy fighters trying to help the injured. " 'Self-Aid Buddy Care' to the rescue," one of the drone's crew members said."I forget, how do you treat a sucking chest wound?" said another. Soon, however, the crew in Nevada and the screeners in Florida realized something was wrong. "The thing is, nobody ran," one crew member said. "Yeah, that was weird," another replied. At 9:15 a.m., the Predator crew noticed three survivors in brightly colored clothing waving at the helicopters. They were trying to surrender. "What are those?" asked the camera operator. "Women and children," the Predator's mission intelligence coordinator answered. "That lady is carrying a kid, huh? Maybe," the pilot said. "The baby, I think, on the right. Yeah," the intelligence coordinator said. The Predator's safety coordinator, cursing in frustration, urged the pilot to alert the helicopters and the A-Team that there were children present. "Let them know, dude," he said. "Younger than an adolescent to me," the camera operator said. As they surveyed the carnage, seeing other children, the Predator crew tried to reassure themselves that they could not have known. "No way to tell, man," the safety observer said. "No way to tell from here," the camera operator added. At 9:30 a.m., the pilot came back on the radio. "Since the engagement," he said, "we have not been able to PID [positively identify] any weapons."... By the U.S. count, 15 or 16 men were killed and 12 people were wounded, including a woman and three children. Elders from the Afghans' home villages said in interviews that 23 had been killed, including two boys, Daoud, 3, and Murtaza, 4. ... McChrystal issued letters of reprimand to four senior and two junior officers in Afghanistan. The Air Force said the Predator crew was also disciplined, but it did not specify the punishment. No one faced court-martial, the Pentagon said. Several weeks after the attack, American officers travelled to the villages to apologize to survivors and the victims' families. They gave each survivor 140,000 afghanis, or about $2,900. Families of the dead received $4,800.
