Russian " humanitarian intervention”

 

でも、最近のプーチンの態度を見ていると、西側が声高に唱える人権やら人道やらを嘲笑するために、敢えてポンコツを使ってコソヴォ危機のパロディをやったんじゃないかという気もしてくるな。まあ通信機器が発達したというだけで過去の謀略もあんな風に雑だったのかもしれないけど。 https://t.co/d9zGV2Sy3i

コソボ紛争の恨みを指摘する人は他の記事でもたしかみたねえ。 

NATO bombing of Yugoslavia

From Wikipedia

Armed clashes between the two sides broke out in early 1998. A NATO-facilitated ceasefire was signed on 15 October, but both sides broke it two months later and fighting resumed. When the killing of 45 Kosovar Albanians in the Račak massacre was reported in January 1999, NATO decided that the conflict could only be settled by introducing a military peacekeeping force to forcibly restrain the two sides.[44]

 

How the Kosovo Air War Foreshadowed the Crisis in Ukraine Twenty-three years later, 

Kremlin propagandists still use the NATO bombing campaign to justify their own actions.

 By Masha Gessen February 15, 2022

The seventy-eight-day air war over Kosovo and Serbia was unprecedented in several ways. It was undertaken without the sanction of the U.N. Security Council. It was framed, by the participating governments and much of the media, as a humanitarian intervention.

茶番にせよ、プーチンはコソボの裏返しをしようとしたんだろうね。

Before the bombing campaign had ended, Louise Arbour, then the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (I.C.T.Y.), appointed a group to investigate allegations of war crimes committed by the nato allies. The group documented several instances in which there had been multiple civilian casualties: the Allies had bombed a passenger train, a refugee convoy, a village in Kosovo, and, in Belgrade, the Chinese embassy and the headquarters of Radio Television of Serbia. (The first four appeared to have been mistakes, but the television tower was targeted as a source of Serbian propaganda.) By the time the report was completed, Arbour had completed her term at the I.C.T.Y.; her successor, Carla Del Ponte, decided not to open a criminal investigation. “There was no way Carla Del Ponte was going to bring charges against the very nations that were funding the I.C.T.Y.,” Douglas said. “If she did, the U.S. and Great Britain could have just pulled the plug on the tribunal.”

NATO側も戦争犯罪犯していながら、罪を問われなかったわけだね・・・
