Carla Del Ponte, Shame on You!

She should not have announced her leaving until Karadzic and Mladic are arrested, the Women of Srebrenica association say.

-- We are stunned. She should be ashamed leaving like that – said Nura Begovic, a member of the Bosnia-Herzegovina “Women of Srebrenica” association after chief international war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte announced she was leaving the post. 

-- We have been contacting her for years, urging to have war criminals arrested. Thousands of people were killed here, how is she not ashamed leaving like that. It is clear now that she manipulated everybody. She promised that the tribunal would not shut down until all war criminals are arrested. And now she is leaving. She should not have left until Karadzic and Mladic have been apprehended – Nura is bitter, much like most families from Srebrenica.

The Hague Tribunal is a market where deals are made, members of the association say.

-- Had she wanted, she could have stayed, nobody can make her leave – Nura concludes.
