Io e i criminali di guerra [The Hunt: War criminals and I], Feltrinelli, Milan, €20. A deluge of criticism has fallen on the head of Carla Del Ponte with the publication in Italy of her memoirs of her eight-year stint as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Del Ponte added that the international law existed, “exists and will exist. There will be justice for the victims if there is a political will in the countries, particularly in the UN.” Kosovo En ICTY eng Carla Del Ponte eng.
Carla Del Ponte. Carla Del Ponte (born February 9, 1947 in Lugano, Switzerland) is a former Chief Prosecutor of two United Nations international criminal law tribunals. A former Swiss attorney general, she was appointed.
Carla Del Ponte (born February 9, 1947) is a former Chief Prosecutor of two United Nationsinternational criminal law tribunals. A former Swiss attorney general, she was appointed prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in August 1999, replacing Louise Arbour.
In 2003, the U.N. Security Council removed Del Ponte as the Prosecutor for the ICTR, and replaced her there with Hassan Bubacar Jallow in an effort to expedite proceedings in that Tribunal. She remained the Prosecutor for the ICTY until 1 January 2008, when she was succeeded by Serge Brammertz. Del Ponte was formerly married, and has one son.
Del Ponte served as Swiss ambassador to Argentina from 2008 to February 2011.
Early life and education
Del Ponte was born in Bignasco, Switzerland, in 1947. Her first language is Italian and she speaks fluent German, French and English. Del Ponte studied law in Bern and Geneva, as well as in the United Kingdom. She obtained her LL.M. in 1972.
After completing her studies, Del Ponte joined a private law firm in Lugano, leaving in 1975 to set up her own practice.
CareerProsecutor in Switzerland
In 1981, Del Ponte was appointed an investigating magistrate, and later public prosecutor at the Lugano district attorney's office. As public prosecutor, she dealt with cases of money laundering, fraud, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, terrorism and espionage, often looking into the many international links forged in Switzerland's role as a global business centre.
During her time in office, Del Ponte became well known in Europe for breaking a Sicilian Mafia money-laundering operation in Switzerland, pursuing former Soviet bloc officials who may have been stowing illegal funds in Switzerland and investigating Swiss bankers suspected of misappropriating money, in some cases in collaboration with Latin Americans. She also produced the evidence for Pakistan to bring money-laundering charges against Benazir Bhutto, a former Prime Minister, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari.[1]
It was during that period that she and Investigative Judge Giovanni Falcone uncovered the link between Swiss money launderers and the Italian drug trade in the so-called 'pizza connection.' Judge Falcone was killed by a large Mafia bomb. Del Ponte was more fortunate as the half a tonne of explosives planted in the foundations of her Palermo home were discovered in time for her to escape the attempted assassination unhurt. Falcone's death nurtured Del Ponte's resoluteness to fight organised crime. Her enemies in the Cosa Nostra call her 'La Puttana' ('the whore'). She therefore became the first public figure in Switzerland to require round-the-clock protection and armour-plated car.[2]
In 1999, Del Ponte suffered a setback when Switzerland's highest court overturned the confiscation by her office of $90 million from Swiss accounts belonging to Raúl Salinas de Gortari, the brother of a former President of Mexico. The court ruled that Del Ponte had no authority to seize the $90 million only on the suspicion that it included money from drug-trafficking. But the ruling did not absolve Salinas of the charges.[1]
Career at the ICTY
After serving for five years as Switzerland's attorney general, in 1999 Del Ponte joined the ICTY and ICTR to deal with war crimes as prosecutor. Del Ponte was the first experienced prosecutor to hold the job on the war crimes tribunals; her predecessors, Louise Arbour and Richard Goldstone, were both judges. At the time, Switzerland was not a member of the United Nations, which was considered an advantage for Del Ponte.[1]
In an interview in late 2001 about war crimes committed during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, Del Ponte said: 'Justice for the victims and the survivors requires a comprehensive effort at international and national level.'
As reported by Reuters on March 18, 2003, according to Del Ponte, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić had predicted his own assassination on February 17, just weeks before it happened on March 12, 2003.[3]
In August 2003, after being on the Rwandan genocide case for four years, Del Ponte was removed from the appointment for political reasons [4] and replaced by Hassan Bubacar Jallow.
In an interview in Intellectum website in 2004 she boldly stated that she would like to try in ICTYBin Laden and Saddam Hussein.[5]
In 2005, she accused the Vatican of helping Croatia's most wanted war crimes suspect Ante Gotovina evade capture. He has since been acquitted of all charges by ICTY. The Croatian Bishops' Conference, which heads the Croatian Roman Catholic Church, dismissed Del Ponte's allegations. Its spokesman Antun Suljic said the conference 'has no knowledge or indications of the whereabouts' of General Gotovina.[6]
On January 30, 2007 Del Ponte announced her intention to resign as Chief Prosecutor at the ICTY at the end of the year, stating it was 'time to return to normal life.'[7] She was succeeded by Serge Brammertz on January 1, 2008.
Career as Swiss diplomat
Del Ponte served as Switzerland's Ambassador to Argentina from January 2008 until early 2011, when she retired.
Post-retirement
From September 2012 to August 2017, Del Ponte was a member of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic,[8] under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
In May 2013 she accused the Syrian rebels of using chemical weapons, a view diametrically opposed by the majority of Western government officials. She stated, 'We still have to deepen our investigation, verify and confirm (the findings) through new witness testimony, but according to what we have established so far, it is at the moment opponents of the regime who are using sarin gas.'[9] The following day, in an apparent reaction to Del Ponte's comments, the Commission issued a press release clarifying that it 'has not reached conclusive findings as to the use of chemical weapons in Syria by any parties in the conflict'.[10]
In March 2014, the Commission published a report that stated that the chemical agents used in the Khan al-Assal chemical attack bore 'the same unique hallmarks as those used in Al-Ghouta' in the August 2013 chemical attack. The report also indicated, based on 'evidence available concerning the nature, quality and quantity of the agents used' that the perpetrators of the Al-Ghouta attack 'likely had access to the chemical weapons stockpile of the Syrian military'. In none of the incidents, however, was the commission’s 'evidentiary threshold' met in regards to identifying the perpetrators of the chemical attacks.[11][12]
In August 2017, Del Ponte resigned from the Commission, due to frustration at the lack of support from the international community: “We could not obtain from the international community and the Security Council a resolution putting in place a tribunal, an ad hoc tribunal for all the crimes that are committed in Syria.. Seven years of crime in Syria and total impunity. That is not acceptable.”[13] She blamed Russia for vetoing action:[14] 'Now a prosecutor should continue our work and bring the war criminals before a special court. But that is exactly what Russia is blocking with its veto in the U.N. Security Council'.[15] She said that the Commission has gathered enough evidence for President al-Assad to be convicted of war crimes.[15]
ControversyComments on NATO
In late December 1999, in an interview with The Observer in London, Del Ponte was asked if she was prepared to press criminal charges against NATO personnel for alleged war crimes in Kosovo by NATO pilots and their commanders. She replied 'If I am not willing to do that, I am not in the right place. I must give up my mission'.[16]
This was followed by various negative official responses, military and civilian, from the US and Canada. Del Ponte's office subsequently issued a statement, dated four days later: 'NATO is not under investigation by the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICTY. There is no formal inquiry into the actions of NATO during the conflict in Kosovo'.[17]
Organ smuggling allegations
In 2008, Del Ponte published a book 'The Hunt' in which she claimed that the Kosovo Albanians had smuggled human organs of kidnapped Serbs after the Kosovo war ended in 1999. Her book created an international controversy.[18] The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia stated regarding Del Ponte's allegations: 'The Tribunal is aware of very serious allegations of human organ trafficking raised by the former Prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, in a book recently published in Italian under her name. No evidence in support of such allegations was ever brought before the Tribunal’s judges.'[19]
On 4 April 2008 Human Rights Watch asked Kosovar Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha to open investigations on the matter under international supervision. They ignored the letters and instead publicly rejected Del Ponte's claims as unsubstantiated. On 5 May 2008 Human Rights Watch called the Del Ponte allegations 'serious and credible' and publicly called on Tirana and Pristina to cooperate.[20]
Del Ponte alleged that the victims were more than 300 Serbs missing from the war. 'Serious and credible allegations have emerged about horrible abuses in Kosovo and Albania after the war,' said Fred Abrahams, HRW Senior emergencies researcher of HRW.
According to the journalists’ information, the abducted individuals were held in warehouses and other buildings, including facilities in Kukës and Tropojë. In comparison to other captives, some of the sources said, some of the younger, healthier detainees were fed, examined by doctors, and never beaten. These abducted individuals - an unknown number – were allegedly transferred to a yellow house in or around the Albanian town of Burrel, where doctors extracted the captives’ internal organs. These organs were then transported out of Albania via the airport near the capital Tirana. Most of the alleged victims were Serbs who went missing after the arrival of UN and NATO forces in Kosovo. But other captives were women from Kosovo, Albania, Russia, and other Slavic countries.
In 2008, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe authorized an investigation and employed Dick Marty to report the findings to the Parliament.
According to a draft Council of Europe report cited by The Daily Telegraph, Prime Minister Hashim Thaci was one of the key players in the traffic of organs of Serb prisoners after the 1998-99 conflict.[21]
In November 2012, Haradinaj and all of the accused in this matter were acquitted for the second time of these accusations.[22]
Del Ponte talked about this issue in Boris Malagurski's documentary film The Weight of Chains 2 (2014). In the interview, she claimed that the UN Mission in Kosovo did not provide the Hague Tribunal with the necessary evidence regarding organ trafficking in Kosovo and that 'NATO and the KLA, as allies in the war, couldn't act against each other'.[23]

Chuck Sudetic
Chuck Sudetic is a former writer and journalist from the United States whose work focused mainly on the lands and peoples of the now-defunct country of Yugoslavia and included books and articles on the Srebrenica massacre of 1995, international war-crimes prosecution efforts after the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s, and life from the fifth century B.C. to the present day in and around what is now the seaside town of Dubrovnik. Sudetic also wrote on the Roma of Europe, mass rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and crime in New York City.Sudetic reported for The New York Times from 1990 to 1995 on Yugoslavia's breakup, including the conflict in Slovenia and the wars in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina; the transition from Communism in other countries of Southeastern Europe; and the Iraqi Kurd refugee crisis after the 1991 Gulf War. He authored Blood and Vengeance (Norton, 1998, and Penguin, 1999), a chronicle of a Bosnian family's experiences during the turbulence of the 20th century that ended with the act of genocide committed at Srebrenica in 1995. Blood and Vengeance was named a 'Notable Book' by The New York Times and a Book of the Year by The Economist, The Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly.
For a 2001 French anthology of writing on war, Sudetic contributed 'Le criminel de guerre,' which describes the family background and motives of the Bosnian war's most notorious killer, Milan Lukić, a Serb militia commander who led ethnic-cleansing operations in the Drina-river town of Višegrad from 1992 to 1995 and was convicted on war crimes charges in 2009 by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.Sudetic coauthored La Caccia (Feltrinelli, 2008, released in English as Madame Prosecutor by Other Press in 2009), the memoirs of the Swiss war-crimes prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, whose controversial revelations led to two successful international criminal investigations and the establishment of a special court to try individuals indicted on charges involving allegations of hundreds of kidnappings and murders, including alleged instances of murder linked with human organ harvesting, in Kosovo and Albania during the months after the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999.Sudetic worked as a contributing editor to Rolling Stone and published articles in The Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, politico.eu, Mother Jones (on the effects of the United Nations sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein), The Washington Post, Das Magazin (Zurich), Transitions (Prague), The Independent (London), and other periodicals. His story for Rolling Stone on the Srebrenica massacre was a finalist for the 1996 National Magazine Award.

The Hunt: Me and the War Criminals (Italian: La caccia: Io e i criminali di guerra) is a book written by Carla Del Ponte, published in April 2008. According to Del Ponte she received information saying about 300 Serbs were kidnapped and transferred to Albania in 1999 where their organs were extracted.[1] The book caused a considerable controversy with Kosovan and Albanian officials denying these allegations and Russian and Serbian officials demanding more investigation. ICTY stated no substantial evidence supporting the allegations was brought to the court.
On December 12, 2010, the Council of Europe released a provisional report confirming Ms Del Ponte's allegations, and naming both Shaip Muja, current political adviser to the Kosovar Prime Minister, and Prime Minister Hashim Thaqi himself, in this context.
Organ traffic allegations[edit]Carla Del Ponte Syria
According to the Del Ponte's book the prosecutor's office received information from UNMIK officials who had in turn received it from 'a team of trustworthy journalists' that some 300 kidnapped Serbians were taken with trucks from Kosovo to several camps in Kukës and Tropojë (Albania) during the summer of 1999, shortly after the arrival of NATO troops in Kosovo.[2] There their organs were extracted to be sold in foreign countries.
Reactions[edit]Organisations[edit]
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia had said of Del Ponte's allegations: 'The Tribunal is aware of very serious allegations of human organ trafficking raised by the former Prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, in a book recently published in Italian under her name. No evidence in support of such allegations was ever brought before the Tribunal's judges.'[3]
A spokeswoman for the UN War Crimes Tribunal says that during a preliminary investigation in cooperation with Albania and UNMIK 'no reliable evidence had been obtained to substantiate the allegations.' [3]
On 4 April 2008, the Human Rights Watch wrote to Kosovar Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha in request to open investigations on the matter under international supervision. By 3 May both had ignored the letters and instead publicly rejected Del Ponte's claims as unsubstantiated. On 5 May 2008, the Human Rights Watch called the allegations from Del Ponte's book 'serious and credible' and issued a public call to Tirana and Pristina for cooperation.[4]
The reported alleges the victims were more than 400 Serbs missing from the war. 'Serious and credible allegations have emerged about horrible abuses in Kosovo and Albania after the war', said Fred Abrahams, HWR Senior emergencies researcher of HRW.
Mein jewan tery nal mp4song download. A provisional report by the Council of Europe, released on December 12, 2010, confirmed the allegations.
Albania[edit]
Pandeli Majko, Albanian Prime Minister during the Kosovo war, has rejected the allegations in Del Ponte's book as 'strange stories, a fantasy'.[5]
Kosovo[edit]
Nekibe Kelmendi, Kosovo's Minister of Justice said Del Ponte's allegations “are pure fabrications made by Del Ponte or perhaps Serbia herself”. “If she knew of such cases then she should be charged with withholding evidence and hiding these crimes,” Kelmendi said.[6]
Council for the Defense of Human Rights and Freedoms has announced they will sue Del Ponte for publishing lies in her book.[7]
Switzerland[edit]
The Swiss government has asked Del Ponte not to promote her book.[8] It has been criticized for tarnishing the country's celebrated neutrality, particularly as Del Ponte has been named as the Swiss ambassador to Argentina.[1]
