It is self-evident that this precarious setup was intended to prolong the conflict for as long as possible, and to make it as ugly as possible. The denial of the right for self-defense is totally contrary to the natural inclination of any nation. This denial of Yugoslavia to defend itself, surprisingly, had even been supported even by the United States which has a long and strong history of upholding the right of any individual to bear arms for self-defense. Thus, its support of the U.N. arms embargo does not echo the sentiments of its citizens, but reflects the manipulative capabilities of the oligarchic control behind the U.N. organization and the U.S. support of it.
There is probably not a single nation on earth that has not a statute in its laws that justifies the use of force for self-defense against mortal aggression. This fundamental right, the U.N. had unilaterally overturned. The immorality of denying an entire nation the right for self-defense, thus subjecting its people to the most brutal abuses that the world has witnessed, including genocide, is ultimately a psychological aggression against the consciousness of humanity in whose name the genocide is deemed to be enacted, and by whom it is tolerated.
The U.N.'s action to force mankind to stand idly by, while observing a helpless people being systematically murdered, abused, raped, enslaved into work or death camps by a vicious enemy, is one of the most evil acts the U.N. has committed against humanity in its entire history. The Bosnian Government has rightfully called for the indictment of the U.N. General Secretary Buotros Buotros-Ghali to stand trial for his crimes against humanity related to this war. Nor should he be charged alone. While the guns are silent, the war has not really ended. It has been shifted into the financial theatre. No development funds are currently allowed for this war wrecked nation until it repay the billions its owes to foreign banks. This financial sanction appears to be intended to keep the gateway to the Eurasian development corridor permanently closed.
While the globally tolerated murdering in the former Yugoslavia was a U.N. sanctioned act of genocide, the still more deeply hidden purpose for this genocide was evidently not the act itself, but the much larger genocide that is currently being carried out against humanity the world over through IMF enforced underdevelopment that this conflict enabled or enhanced. Thus, the greater tragedy becomes covered up by the more visible atrocities and tensions of an ugly war. In the wake of this was, the normal human responses guided by love, are effectively pushed into the background by means of the demoralizing effect of genocide, such as has been taken place.
Whenever the Serb Army shelled a city and murdered twenty or thirty more people, these relatively minor atrocities (although they are great tragedies in themselves) became the cover story of the day in the news media around the world, while at that same day, as on any other day, 33,000 children under the age of five are murdered by means of being denied under IMF dictates, access to clean water, food, and even the most minimal health-care services. A paradox was thus created by this war that hides the real genocide against humanity. While the thirty or hundred people that are murdered daily in the U.N. controlled war represent a terrible tragedy, they are exploited to hide a crime of immensely greater proportion such as the murdering of close to a quarter million people a day, by means of a forced underdevelopment that should be on the headlines, because this real figure is immensely greater than all the casualties of war put together.
Actually, nobody really knows what the total is of the world's poverty related deaths. There are no statistics kept, of people dying in silence, although a general figure is not too hard to extrapolate from the U.N. released figures of the poverty casualties among children under the age of five. If the adult population is factored into the equation of all those who are denied the means to sustain a minimal existence under IMF austerity dictates, a quarter million deaths per day may well be attributable to such causes.
