“The Rogue Tribunal – how the ICTY fooled the world” is a passionate and powerful expose. It reveals how the fair and impartial administration of justice -civilisation’s best guarantee of survival- was abandoned and betrayed by the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia.
Meticulously researched by more than thirty academics, historians, journalists and broadcasters around the world, the film demonstrates in shocking and compelling detail the corruption of international law and its manipulation for purely political ends under the guise of humanitarianism.
The ICTY was a tribunal largely funded and staffed by the United States which put the interests of American geopolitics before justice and deliberately set out to create and perpetuate a false version of history that demonised an entire nation as genocidal killers. The Tribunal also betrayed international trust in the United Nations, effectively condemning tens of thousands to death by intensifying and prolonging war in the Balkans.
It has left a poisonous legacy, spawning a growing number of international tribunals which threaten the previously inviolable sovereignty of nations with the overwhelming force of internationalism. Such injustice only fuels future anger, resentment, violence and bloodshed. When faith in international justice fails then trust between nations breaks down and the force of argument is overturned by the argument of force.
In a world sleep walking along this dangerous path ‘The Rogue Tribunal’ is a powerful wake-up call.
