Die “Ware” Mensch

NATO und UN fördern Zwangsprostitution und Menschenhandel im Kosovo

Ein “Tabu-Thema” hat durch einen jüngsten Menschenrechts-Bericht wieder neue Nahrung erhalten. Demnach sind Internationale “Friedenskräfte” in Menschenhandel und Zwangsprostitution im Kosovo verwickelt, vielleicht auch gar deren Motor. “Erst die Etablierung des internationalen Protektorats haben das Geschäft mit der - Ware Mensch - in Schwung gebracht”, so der Tenor des Berichts von Amnesty International, der am Donnerstag vorgestellt wurde.

Das “offene Geheimnis” ist kein neues. Schon im Sommer 2002 hatte das UN-Kinderhilfswerk (UNICEF) in einer Studie festgestellt, dass in Südosteuropa - mit entscheidender Hilfe des Westens - Zwangsprostitution und Menschenhandel blühen (Europäische Union bringt “Drehscheibe des Menschenhandels” in Schwung). Gründe dafür lägen unter anderem an der Einwanderungspolitik der EU und der Verschlechterung der Lebensbedingungen durch Kriege, Flucht und Marktwirtschaftsreformen in der Region. Auch sei die allgemeine Arbeits- und Perspektivlosigkeit in Ost- und Südosteuropa dafür verantwortlich. Aber eben auch explizit die so gut bezahlten “Internationalen”, die in den 90er Jahren zu Tausenden auf dem Balkan Einzug gehalten haben. Detailliert wurden die daraus resultierenden Zustände schon damals als sklavenähnliche sexuelle Ausbeutungsverhältnisse geschildert, die vor allem in den UN-Protektoraten Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kosovo herrschen würden.

Ein neuer von der Menschenrechtsorganisation Amnesty International veröffentlichter Bericht befasst sich nun ausschließlich mit der Situation von Frauen und Mädchen im Kosovo.

…………………………..

So sei das Kosovo im Juli 1999 - nach Ankunft von 40.000 KFOR-Soldaten, hunderten UNMIK-Beamten und dem Personal von mehr als 250 internationalen Organisationen - sehr schnell “zu einem der wichtigsten Länder für Frauen- und Mädchenhandel zur Zwangsprostitution geworden. Die gering vorhandene lokale Prostitution, wurde in einen riesigen, meist von organisierten Verbrechernetzen dominierten Markt, einer Sex-Industrie transformiert”, konstatiert Amnesty.

Der Menschenhandel eskaliert

Für die ai-Studie wurden auch zahlreiche Daten von anderen Organisationen zusammengefasst. So berichtete erstmals Ende 1999 der UN-Entwicklungsfond für Frauen (UNIFEM) über die Angewohnheiten der “Friedenstruppen”. Dabei seien insgesamt 18 Gebäude aufgelistet worden, die in der Nähe von KFOR-Camps lagen. Die meisten “Kunden” dieser Bordelle waren KFOR-Soldaten aus den USA, Deutschland, Italien, Frankreich und einigen anderen Staaten, von denen einige wiederum selbst in den Menschenhandel verstrickt waren.

Danach eskalierte der Menschenhandel im Kosovo. In ihrer ersten “Tabu-Liste” vom Januar 1999, die dem UNMIK-Personal galt, wurden noch 75 Bars, Clubs und Restaurants zur verbotenen Zone erklärt. Am 1. Januar 2004 waren es schon 200 Etablissements, in denen zur Prostitution gezwungene und vom Menschenhandel betroffene Frauen vermutet wurden.

Anfang 2000 erkannte auch die Internationale Organisation für Migration (IOM) in den “45.000 Ausländern” einen Verursacher “für die vielen neuen Nachtclubs, die wie aus dem Boden schossen”, so Pasquale Lupoli, IOM-Chef für das Kosovo. Die IOM machte aber auch äußere Faktoren, wie den gut organisierten Verbrechernetzwerken in den Nachbarländern, den gut etablierten Schmuggelrouten in die EU oder das schlecht funktionierende Rechtssystem für den Menschenhandel verantwortlich. Amnesty sagt:

---

Nach dem geringen Level der Prostitution und dem Menschenhandel im Juli 1999 lassen die verfügbaren Beweise vermuten, dass ohne die Präsenz der internationalen Gemeinschaft und dem westlichen Konsumenten-Einfluss, das Kosovo ein relativ “stilles Wasser” im Vergleich zum Schmuggel auf dem Balkan wäre.

Viele Einzelschicksale

Die meisten der betroffenen Frauen und Mädchen im Kosovo stammen aus Moldawien, Bulgarien und der Ukraine und damit den ärmsten Ländern Osteuropas. Viele von ihnen verlassen freiwillig ihr Land, um Armut, Gewalt oder Missbrauch zu entfliehen. Und das geplante Ziel liegt selten im Kosovo, in dem ein ebenso armes Leben und 60 % Arbeitslosigkeit herrschen. Meist wurden ihnen Jobs in Westeuropa in Aussicht gestellt. Von ihren “Händler” oder den späteren “Besitzern” werden die Frauen dabei immer mehr abhängig gemacht. “Oftmals wird ihnen klar, dass der versprochene Job nicht existiert, Dokumente werden ihnen abgenommen. Sie wurden vielleicht geschlagen oder werden - bei Protest - vergewaltigt.”, so Amnesty International.

Aber auch eine zunehmende Anzahl von einheimischen Frauen und Mädchen werden innerhalb und aus dem Kosovo heraus “gehandelt”. Und auch sie werden mit Versprechen gelockt. Das ergab eine zweijährige Untersuchung der Organisation Centre for the Protection of Women and Children (CPWC) unter 253 betroffenen einheimischen Frauen und Mädchen. Dabei waren 81 % von ihnen unter 18 Jahre alt, ein Drittel davon lediglich zwischen 11 und 14 Jahre alt. 84 % dieser Frauen und Mädchen hatte lediglich einen Grundschulabschluss. Nach einem Bericht der Weltbank 2002, genießen nur 56 % der 15 bis 18-jährigen Mädchen im Kosovo - also die gefährdetste Gruppe für den Menschenhandel - überhaupt eine Vollzeitausbildung. Die meisten der jungen Frauen stammen aus armen Verhältnissen, oft aus zerrütteten Familien mit einem hohen Grad an häuslicher Gewalt und Alkoholismus.

Eine junge Frau wurde von Mitgliedern ihrer eigenen Familie verkauft. Ein 14jähriges Mädchen wurden mit einem Lokalbesitzer verheiratet, der sie körperlich misshandelte und sie zur Prostitution zwang, um sie eventuell an drei Brüder zu verkaufen, die sie nach Pristina mitnahmen, wo sie gezwungen wurde, mit ihnen und einem anderen Mann Sex zu haben.
Aus einem OSZE-Report

---

Ein 13jähriges Roma-Mädchen wurde für 500 Euro verkauft und mit einem 40jährigen Mann verheiratet, der sie schlug und vergewaltigte. Als sie von ihm floh, kam sie zurück nach Hause. Um den Verlust des Hochzeitsgeldes wieder gut zu machen, schickte ihre Mutter sie zur Prostitution in ein Lokal. Das Kind muss nun vor der eigenen Familie geschützt werden.

Slovenia Fired the First Shots in Yugoslav Civil War

Marko Prešeren: Slovenia Fired the First Shots in Yugoslav Civil War

May 28th, 2009 | By De-Construct.net | In Analysis, Current, Earlier, Former Yugoslavia, Slovenia

Slovenian researcher Marko Prešeren was surprised by the extent to which the truth was twisted in regards to Slovenia’s celebrated “Ten Day War” against Yugoslav Army, in June 1991

The Hidden Side of Slovenian “War for Independence”: Lies, Deceptions and War Crimes

The first investigation of the violations of the international law during the first armed conflict in former Yugoslavia, in June 1991 in Slovenia, resulted in a “shocking discovery”, according to the Slovenian Žurnal 24. The uncovered hidden side of these events debunks the widely accepted official version, according to which the Yugoslav National Army (JNA), equated with Serbia, “attacked Slovenia” following its unilateral declaration of independence from the Yugoslav federation. Quite the opposite is true, said Slovenian researcher Marko Prešeren: it was Slovenian paramilitary forces (inconspicuously named “Territorial defense”, TO) who have attacked Yugoslav Army stationed in Slovenia, in violation of the international law and Geneva Conventions.

Despite the unambiguous message delivered by the US secretary of state James Baker on 21 June 1991 that the US and OSCE do not support dissolution of Yugoslavia, Slovenia and Croatia declared themselves “sovereign and independent states” on 25 June 1991, only four days after American official’s urgent visit to Serbian [Milošević], Croat [Tudjman] and Slovenian [Kučan] leaders, amid the Slovenian and Croat calls for unilateral secession.

In the evening after the proclamation, the Yugoslav Federal Council approved Federal Prime Minister Ante Marković’s (an ethnic Croat) directive that the JNA intervene in order to protect Yugoslavia’s international borders which now fell under direct Slovenian control, with Slovenia illegally taking over the goods in transit and Yugoslav state’s customs revenues.

On the morning of 27 June president of Slovenian republic Milan Kučan went on Slovenian Television, to state that “the Republic of Slovenia will take all necessary measures to defend our independence against the Yugoslav Army.” The next day, Slovenian paramilitaries killed three Yugoslav Army conscripts in cold blood, while seizing Yugoslav border crossing with Austria at the town of Holmec.

Slovenian Propaganda Used as a Script in Later Conflicts

The ensuing conflict was later termed a “Ten Day War” or, as Slovenians proudly assert, their “war for independence” and a moment of glory, when Slovenian paramilitary troops “defeated the mighty Yugoslav Army”.

In his book titled “The Modern Yugoslav Conflict 1991-1995: Perception, deception and dishonesty,” Brendan O’Shea described the heavy propaganda and media manipulations Slovenians used to present themselves as “victims of the Serb aggression” — a recipe later faithfully followed and methodically repeated by the Croats and Bosnian Muslims.

“[…] The Slovenes also scored a major victory in the propaganda war and quickly had the international media reporting Serb atrocities when nothing of the sort was taking place. This was achieved by skillful media manipulation, and the hundreds of journalists who descended on Ljubljana were made most welcome. Thereafter they were corralled into a bunker beneath the Ministry of Information (allegedly for their own safety) and fed a steady diet of events taking place above ground — from the Slovene perspective.

“The Serbs were portrayed as violent communists who dropped cluster bombs on innocent civilians, the struggle being thus portrayed as one between Good (in the guise of Slovenes and Croats) and Evil (personified by the Serbs). In this way a fictional blow-by-blow account of the ten-day war was fed to the media by a team of young multilingual patriotic volunteers (mostly university students aged between 20 and 30) and, unable (and/or unwilling) to venture over-ground to confirm these stories, when editorial deadlines arrived the official Slovene version of events was broadcast as fact. Equally, when selected journalists (i.e. those disposed to the Slovene struggle) were allowed to venture up into the streets much of what they witnessed was stage-managed and choreographed. Not for the first time in the Balkans truth had become the first casualty of war — as it would not be the last occasion either.

“[…] In fact, Slovene propaganda was so successful that Hans Dietrich Genscher, the German foreign minister, was invited to Ljubljana at the start of the war and fed a steady diet of Slovene perspective. When he then went before a press conference he accused the JNA of ‘running amok’ in Slovenia. This accusation was totally untrue, but it served its purpose, as indeed did calls from Senator Bob Dole in Washington demanding that Milosevic halt his supposedly violent crackdown on democracy and human rights.”

Coldblooded Murder of Yugoslav Army Conscripts and the Other Unpunished War Crimes

The less known facts Slovenians generally don’t like to be reminded of throw completely different light on these events, tarnishing the accepted falsified version, enshrined in Slovenian and Western history books (and, of course, on Wikipedia, a global instant “history,” forged to further brainwashing of the masses).

Austrian ORF TV crew captured the murder of Yugoslav Army conscripts by the Slovenian troops at Holmec on June 28 1991, filming from the other, Austrian side of the borderSuch is often conveniently disregarded fact that JNA garrisons in Slovenia consisted mostly of unarmed conscripts from all parts of former Yugoslavia, surrounded by the enemies and trapped in the army barracks of their own state, part of which was literally overnight turned into a “foreign soil”. Slovenian paramilitaries, armed with fresh caches of the most advanced German weapons, launched a war against the young conscripts, majority of whom were less than 19-years old, killing at least 44 and severely wounding another 185 of them in a little over a week.Furthermore, investigation by the Helsinki Committee and testimonies of the JNA survivors have shown that the actual number of Yugoslav troops killed in Slovenia during the “ten-day war” is higher by at least 30-40 percent, as testified by the President of Slovenian Helsinki Committee for human rights Neva Miklavčič-Predan.In addition, Slovenian leadership, police and paramilitary troops committed a number of grievous war crimes no one was ever charged with.

Among them is a coldblooded murder of three JNA conscripts by the Slovenian paramilitaries, on 28 June 1991, near the border crossing with Austria, in the small town of Holmec. According to the 1998 report by the Slovenian biggest circulation daily Slovenske Novice, the JNA conscripts surrendered, stepping before the Slovenian paramilitaries with their hands up in the air, waving the white sheet, only to be gunned down on the spot. The whole event was recorded from the other side of the border by the Austrian ORF TV crew, but Slovenia’s state prosecutor continued to insist there is “no suspicion of crimes having been committed at Holmec”.

Ms. Predan revealed that JNA members executed by the Slovenians at Holmec border crossing were identified as Yugoslav Army conscripts Zoran Ješić, Goran Maletić and Antonio Šimunović. According to their death certificates issued by Slovenia, they were sprayed with bullets on the same day, at the same time and in the same place, but Slovenian officials refuse to accept responsibility for their murder to this day.

Yugoslav Army Acted in a Civilized Manner, in Full Compliance with the International Law and Geneva Conventions

Now a more thorough investigation of the Slovenian “Ten-day War” reveals the entire conflict was instigated by the Slovenians, who were portrayed in the West as “victims of Serbian aggression” and “Milošević’s Greater Serbia designs”. In addition, the latest research unmasks the judicial processes Slovenian prosecution conducted against the alleged “JNA aggressors” as politically motivated trials with no legal basis, staged for the purpose of cementing the forged instant history and to absolve Slovenian political and military leadership of all responsibility for starting the war and committing war crimes.

Marko Prešeren, who was given permission by Slovenian state prosecutor Barbara Brezigar to examine the cases against 104 Yugoslav Army members for their participation in the ten-day conflict — in spite of the obstruction by the lower instances of the Slovenian prosecution which prevented him from investigating all the cases — found that it wasn’t the Yugoslav Army, or Serbia which started the armed clashes in Slovenia, but that Slovenian “Territorial Defense attacked Yugoslav Army, the fact which was also confirmed by the American intelligence agency CIA.”

“Data confirms that JNA members acted in compliance with Geneva Conventions so, to begin with, Slovenia had no right to prosecute them,” Prešeren said, adding that this discovery makes four acquittals of previously sentenced JNA officers entirely appropriate.

On the other hand, the greatest majority of the 104 trials against JNA members were “in violation of Geneva Conventions, since JNA troops acted in accordance with the international law and Geneva Conventions”.

“Each and every order issued by the Yugoslav Army contained strict command that civilians must not be targeted and that the Army must observe the international law. As much as that may sound strange here [in Slovenia], the truth of the matter is that Yugoslav Army acted in a civilized manner, as one would expect Western armies to behave,” Prešeren told Belgrade daily Politika.

Slovenia closes ‘war crime’ case despite TV evidence of killings

By Vesna Peric Zimonjic in Belgrade

 

Monday, 10 April 2006

Slovenian authorities have closed the file on the very first known war crime committed in the Balkan conflict as the former Yugoslavia broke apart. In fact, they have emphatically done so twice in the last few days. The Republic of Slovenia officially denies that any war crime was committed on 28 June 1991, despite film footage which recently surfaced showing the execution of three surrendering former Yugoslav army soldiers.

The footage, made by Austrian ORF TV, has shocked the Slovenian public. It shows three soldiers waving a white sheet in apparent surrender, in the north-eastern village of Holmec, near the Austrian border. They are calmly shot dead by Slovene policemen who had surrounded them.

The head of the Slovene Helsinki Monitor human rights group, Neva Miklavcic Predan, described the video as “the first documented war crime in former Yugoslavia,” while many analysts compare it with the footage of the execution of six Muslims by Bosnian Serbs after the fall of the Muslim “safe haven” of Srebrenica in 1995.

Western-Funded NGOs Destroying Serbia

6.6.2009 by ctstmaser.

Western-Funded NGOs Destroying Serbia That the title of “non-governmental organizations” for the most hysterical anti-Serbian clubs operating in Serbia is a cynical oxymoron has been well known since the late President Milošević’s government.

At that time, in their early days, the Serbophobic conclaves established and financed by the Western governments (mainly American congress, through a lethal National Endowment for Democracy — NED, directly responsible for instigating multi-color ‘revolutions’ throughout Eastern Europe) and instrumentalized by the foreign secret services (mainly American CIA, British MI6 and German BND, but also the Croat agents actively working on further fragmentation of Serbia) were given a fully deserved label of “foreign mercenaries and domestic traitors”, a tag they failed to shake off to this day.

In fact, if one would want to single out the most widely despised, distrusted and disliked segment of society in Serbia, the Western-funded NGOs would be the undisputed champions — Nataša Kandić of Soros’ Open Society, Sonja Biserko of Helsinki Committee, Borka Pavićević running a “Centre for Cultural Decontamination”, Biljana Kovačević Vučo of YUCOM and Sonja Liht running “Belgrade Foundation for Political Excellence” (!) are personally responsible for triggering more barf throbs among the Serbs than a slimiest glob of creatures wriggling in a pond of puss could produce.

It was therefore no surprise when some highly positioned Westerners complained that their “NGOs” in Serbia “have the ugliest, most repulsive individuals at the helm” who can “hardly make anyone stay long enough to hear what they have to say”.
