Title

The Centre for Peace in the Balkans

Description

On this day, against their own charter and without debate or a directive from the United Nations, the US led NATO military alliance bombarded Serbia and Montenegro for 78 days. NATO’s deadly armada left the civilian infrastructure of Yugoslavia in ruins, millions of innocent civilians homeless and thousands dead. The effects of the NATO aggression will be felt by the people of Southeastern Europe for decades to come.

The public support and consent for the US led actions in the Balkans has been of paramount importance and has been manufactured by a systematic and deliberate media manipulation policy and distortions of the key factors at stake. The support for aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was based not on truths, but on several wrong assumptions about the nature of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.

The notions of a ‘moral absolutism’ or ‘humanitarian intervention’ on behalf of Albanians were manipulated by US and UK policy makers to justify the attack on Yugoslavia. Yet what of Kashmir, Rwanda, Sudan, Algeria and so many other hotspots all around the world?
