1. Problem of selectivity is endemic in international criminal law, but in the case of Kosovo Specialist Chambers there is no need to wait for the indictments to address selectivity, it is in the jurisdiction of the Chambers that only the Albanians will be subject to prosecution.
2. The jurisdiction of the Chambers dictates that only ethnic Albanians will be prosecuted for alleged crimes during Kosovo war, leaving outside its jurisdiction more than 10’000 killed and about 20'000 women&man raped by the Serbian state and its machinery.
3. Delivering justice and achieving truth and fulfillment of the victims rights is not about ethnicity, but it showed that the creation of the Court itself had a political agenda behind it, which at some point could be directed to harm Kosovo and not benefit justice.
4. As with selectivity, Impunity is also an endemic problem. War crimes go largely unpunished, and the perpetrators roam free and “write their war memoirs in peace”, while victims and their families desperately fight for justice and some kind of closure.
5. Prosecutor couldn't help it but put in jeopardy the truth about Kosovo war and also fulfillment of victims rights. Prosecutor with the first indictments and its stunt had to Mimic the creation of the Court itself, which was political and not concerned with justice.
6. Prosecutor's statement reveals two things, SC is (1)biased against war for independence&liberation and not individuals that committed crimes as it is often claimed; (2) politicized nature of the Court which with the last stunt achieved more than all other political agencies
7. The attack on the war for independence is clear due to indictments against the highest profiles of KLA. Indictment of figures such as @HashimThaciRKS and @KadriVeseliKS, suggests that war crimes were a tactic of war and doctrine of KLA, and tries to equate the belligerents.
8. Attempts to equate alleged war crimes committed by Albanians with the proven Serbian state organized and implemented policy of genocide, extermination and ethnic cleansing, is not only scandalous but also incentive for the Rogue States and dictators of the future and damaging.
9. The second result of the stunt of the Prosecution is the failure of @WhiteHouse run dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia. What none of political actors was able to pull, has been achieved by a statement of the prosecutor ending any prospects for negotiations or a pace agreement.
10. The stunt brought Kosovo at great disadvantage since its sitting President, the head of the organization responsible for its liberation and the PM that read the declaration of independence is being accused for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
11. Prosecutor turned an institution of justice to a political one. This did not only ruin already questionable credibility of the Court, b/also made possible for impunity and non-punishment of war crimes to continue, by showing us that it was all about politics and not justice.
