It said the US embassy in Kinshasa will in the next few weeks work with the UN mission and others in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to distribute posters, matchbooks and other items to solicit information.

“Because many of the fugitives are believed to be living in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this rewards for justice program will be focused there,” said Clint Williamson, ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues.

He said up to five million dollars will be given to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of any of the 13 men indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), who remain fugitives.

They were charged with perpetrating, financing and providing support for the 1994 genocide in which up to one million people were killed.

The program dating back to the late 1990s lapsed in the last year and a half as information dried up, but the State Department revived it as “there is some urgency in trying to resolve the issue of the fugitives,” Williamson said.

“The impunity of these men 14 years after the crimes were committed and their continuing their presence in the region represents a threat to stability and reconciliation,” Williamson told reporters.

One of the accused, Felicien Kabuga, is believed to be in Kenya, though “he has links to people in the Congo,” Williamson said. “We’re open to expanding this program again in Kenya if we think it’s useful.”

The others on the list are Augustin Bizimana, Idelphonse Nizeyimana, Protais Mpiranya, Gregoire Ndahimana, Fulgence Kayishema, Bernard Munyagishari, Pheneas Munyarugarama, Aloys Ndimbati, Ladislas Ntaganzwa, Charles Ryandikayo, Charles Sikubwabo, and Jean Bosco Uwinkindi.

Jendayi Frazer, assistant secretary for African affairs, said no money has been awarded to anyone in the past because governments rather than individuals gave tips that led to the arrests of at least three accused of war crimes.

The genocide in Rwanda ended when the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (FPR) routed the FAR (the French acronym for the Armed Forces of Rwanda) in July of that year.

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, pursuant to her authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (“the Statute of the Tribunal”), charges:

GORAN HADZIC,

with CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR, as set forth below:

THE ACCUSED:

1. Goran HADZIC, son of Branko, was born on 7 September 1958 in the Municipality of Vinkovci, Croatia. Prior to the conflict in Croatia, Goran HADZIC worked as a warehouseman at a VUPIK plant in Pacetin, Municipality of Vukovar, Croatia.
2. Goran HADZIC had been a member of the League of Communists since his youth. Prior to 1990, Goran HADZIC was President of the Local Community of Pacetin. In the spring 1990, Goran HADZIC was elected a councilman at the Municipal Council of Vukovar as a candidate of the League of Communists – Party for Democratic Changes /Savez Komunista – Stranka za Demokratske Premene/ (“SK-SDP”). Goran HADZIC later joined the Serbian Democratic Party / Srpska Demokratska Stranka / (“SDS”). Goran HADZIC was elected chairman of the SDS for Vukovar on 10 June 1990.

On 25-26 June 1991, the SNC was transformed into the government of the so-called “Serbian Autonomous District /Sprska autonomna oblast/ Slavonia, Baranja and Western Srem (“SAO SBWS”). At the same time, Goran HADZIC was appointed President of the Government designate of the self-declared SAO SBWS.

INDIVIDUAL CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Article 7(1) of the Statute of the Tribunal

5. Goran HADZIC is individually criminally responsible for the crimes referred to in Articles 3 and 5 of the Statute of the Tribunal and described in this indictment, which he planned, instigated, ordered, committed, or in whose planning, preparation, or execution he otherwise aided and abetted. By using the word “committed” in this indictment the Prosecutor does not intend to suggest that the accused physically committed the crimes charged personally, other than the crimes described in paragraphs 19 and 25 of this indictment. Committing in this indictment includes Goran HADZIC’s participation in a joint criminal enterprise as a co-perpetrator.
6. The purpose of this joint criminal enterprise was the permanent forcible removal of a majority of the Croat and other non-Serb population from approximately one-third of the territory of the Republic of Croatia (“Croatia”) in order to make them part of a new Serb-dominated state through the commission of crimes in violation of Articles 3 and 5 of the Statute of the Tribunal. These areas included those regions that were referred to by Serb authorities as the “SAO Krajina,” the “SAO Western Slavonia,” the “SAO SBWS” (after 19 December 1991, the “SAO Krajina” became known as the RSK; on 26 February 1992, the “SAO Western Slavonia” and the “SAO SBWS” joined the RSK).
7. The crimes enumerated in this indictment were within the object of the joint criminal enterprise and Goran HADZIC held the state of mind necessary for the commission of each of these crimes. Alternatively, the crimes enumerated in Counts 1 to 9 and 12 to 14 were the natural and foreseeable consequences of the execution of the object of the joint criminal enterprise and Goran HADZIC was aware that such crimes were the possible outcome of the execution of the joint criminal enterprise.
8. This joint criminal enterprise came into existence no later than 25 June 1991 and continued until at least December 1993. In order for the joint criminal enterprise to succeed in its objective, Goran HADZIC worked in concert with or through several individuals in the joint criminal enterprise.

9. Goran HADZIC, acting individually or in concert with other members of the joint criminal enterprise participated in the joint criminal enterprise in the following ways:
   1. In his capacity as the President of the Government of the SAO SBWS and subsequently as President of the RSK, he formulated, promoted, participated in, and/or encouraged the development and implementation of SAO SBWS / RSK governmental policies intended to advance the objective of the joint criminal enterprise. Throughout 1991, 1992 and 1993, Goran HADZIC attended meetings with the Serbia and (S)FRY leadership and/or their agents defining these policies of the joint criminal enterprise and presented its positions in international negotiations.
   2. He was instrumental in the establishment, support and maintenance of the government bodies ruling the SAO SBWS / RSK, which in co-operation with the military and police implemented the objectives of the joint criminal enterprise and participated in the commission of crimes as listed in this indictment.
   3. He participated in and contributed to the creation, organisation, financing, and direction of the SAO SBWS Milicija and the SNB.

   4. He participated in and contributed to the creation, organisation, financing, and direction of the local Serb Territorial Defence forces (TO) of the SAO SBWS, including volunteers related to the Serbian Volunteer Guard and the Serbian Chetnik Movement, which participated in the crimes described in this indictment.

   5. He personally participated in crimes committed by these police and military forces in the targeted territories as described in paragraphs 19 and 25 of this indictment.
   6. He participated in the provision of financial, material, logistical and political support necessary for the military take-over of territories in the SAO SBWS and the subsequent forcible removal of the Croat and other non-Serb population by the local Serb TO forces, who acted in subordination of or co-ordination with the JNA, the Serbian MUP forces and the SAO SBWS Milicija and SNB.
   7. He requested the assistance of or facilitated the participation of JNA and Serbian MUP forces to further the objective of the joint criminal enterprise.
   8. He encouraged and assisted in the acquisition of arms and their distribution to local Serbs in Croatia to further the objective of the joint criminal enterprise.

10. Goran HADZIC knowingly and willfully participated in the joint criminal enterprise, sharing the intent of other participants in the joint criminal enterprise or while being aware of the intent of the other participants of the joint criminal enterprise substantially contributing to the crimes being committed.

The victims were transported to the JNA barracks and then to the Ovcara farm located about 5 kilometers south of Vukovar. There, Serb forces consisting of JNA soldiers, local Serb TO forces, paramilitaries/volunteers, and other members of the joint criminal enterprise beat and tortured the victims for hours.

THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA

CASE NO. IT-99-36-I

THE PROSECUTOR OF THE TRIBUNAL

AGAINST

STOJAN ZUPLJANIN

AMENDED INDICTMENT

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, pursuant to her authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (“the Statute of the Tribunal”), charges:

STOJAN ZUPLJANIN

with GENOCIDE, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, GRAVE BREACHES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS OF 1949, and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR, as set forth below:

BACKGROUND

1. In November 1990, democratic elections were held in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There were three main parties, each of which was identified with one of the three principal population groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Party of Democratic Action, the SDA, was identified, in the main, as the Bosnian Muslim national party. The Serbian Democratic Party, the SDS, was identified as the principal Serbian national party. The Croatian Democratic Union, the HDZ, was primarily identified as the Croatian national party. On the Republic level, the SDA won the most seats in the Republic Assembly, followed by the SDS and then the HDZ. The remaining seats were split between other parties, including the former communist party.

2. By the time of the 1990 elections, the difficulties regarding the union of republics within the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (“SFRY”) had become apparent. The election results meant that, as time went on, the SDS would have insufficient political authority to keep the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a Serb-dominated Yugoslavia through democratic political process. Shortly after the elections, the SDS began to organise certain areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina into formal regional structures through the concept of “Associations of Municipalities” which existed under the 1974 Yugoslav constitutional regime. In April and May of 1991 the Association of Bosanska Krajina Municipalities, centred in Banja Luka, was formed. Although ostensibly formed on an economic basis, it had a political agenda which was in contravention of the 1974 constitutional regime.

3. During the summer of 1991, after Slovenia and Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia, war broke out. The Yugoslav Peoples Army (“JNA”) withdrew from Slovenia after a very short period, allowing Slovenia to secede from the SFRY. In Croatia, however, the fighting continued throughout the summer and into the autumn of 1991. The Serbian forces engaged in all-out warfare against the armed forces of Croatia in support of the creation of a separate Serbian entity, which later declared itself as the Republic of Serb Krajina. These forces included units under the control of the 5th Corps of the JNA, which were comprised of military, paramilitary and police units.

4. For the war in Croatia, the JNA issued mobilisation orders to the male population in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those orders were opposed by the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which issued instructions to the population that they did not have to respond to the mobilisation orders. As a result, very few Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats responded to the call-up. On the other hand, the Bosnian Serbs responded in large numbers, exhorted to do so by the SDS and other Serbian nationalist parties.

5. As the war continued and it appeared increasingly likely that Bosnia and Herzegovina would also declare its independence, the SDS began in earnest the creation of a separate Serbian entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. In September 1991, the various Associations of Municipalities were transformed into Serbian Autonomous Districts, including, on about 16 September 1991, the Association of Bosanska Krajina Municipalities into the Autonomous Region of Krajina (“ARK”). The ARK came to include (among others) the following municipalities: Banja Luka, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Kljuc, Kotor Varos, Bosanska Dubica, Bosanski Novi, Bosanski Petrovac, Prnjavor, Bosanska Krupa, Bosanska Gradiska, Teslic, Sipovo, Skender Vakuf and Celinac.

6. A separate Assembly of the Serbian People in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established on 24 October 1991, dominated by the SDS. On 9 January 1992, that Assembly adopted a declaration on the Proclamation of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The territory of that republic was declared to include “the territories of the Serbian Autonomous Regions and Districts and of other Serbian ethnic entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the regions in which the Serbian people remained in the minority due to the genocide conducted against it in World War Two”, and it was declared to be a part of the federal Yugoslav state. On 12 August 1992, the name of the Bosnian Serb republic was changed to “Republika Srpska”.

7. As viewed by the SDS leaders, a major problem in the creation and control of the designated Serbian territory was the significant Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population that also lived in the areas being claimed. Thus, a significant aspect of the plan to create a new Serbian territory was the removal, or “ethnic cleansing”, of nearly all of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population.

8. To achieve this goal, the Bosnian Serb authorities, including Stojan ZUPLJANIN, initiated and implemented a course of conduct which included: the creation of impossible conditions (involving pressure and terror tactics, including summary executions) that would have the effect of encouraging the non-Serbs to leave the area; the deportation and banishment of those who were reluctant to leave; and, the liquidation of those non-Serbs who remained and who did not fit into the concept of the Serbian State. Radoslav Brdjanin declared that 2% was the acceptable limit of non-Serbs in the Serbian state.

9. According to a census in 1991 the total population of the Bosanska Krajina region was 1,191,709 of whom 567,293 were Serbs, 439,935 were Bosnian Muslims and 103,111 Croats. There were, however, only a majority of Muslims and Croats, in Sanski Most, Prijedor, Kotor Varos and Bosanska Krupa municipalities.

10. Beginning in 1991 the leadership of Serb nationalists (including the SDS) in the region of the ARK promoted and disseminated propaganda that portrayed the Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats as fanatics intending to commit genocide on the Serbian people to gain control of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The purpose of this propaganda was to create support for the SDS program amongst the Serbian people, and to create amongst Serbs the willingness to commit crimes against their neighbours under the banner of defending the Serbian people.

11. Upon the implementation of the cease-fire in Croatia, in response to international pressure and establishment of UNPROFOR guarded areas, forces under the control of the JNA began to re-deploy to Bosnia and Herzegovina from Croatia. Part of this re-deployment included the return of units of the 5^th Corps and their deployment in the ARK into, or near, areas predominantly inhabited by Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats. These units were positioned on key terrain including the positioning of artillery on hills surrounding Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croats areas, such as in Kozarac.

12. Late in 1991, the leaders of the SDS began preparations for the physical take-over of power in those municipalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina where the Serbs did not have clear control, and for the subsequent implementation of the general plan for ethnically cleansing the areas considered to be Serbian. These take-overs were executed following instructions issued by the SDS leadership through Crisis Staffs that were brought into being for this purpose.

13. The Crisis Staff was modelled on similar entities that had existed as part of the defence system in the SFRY, and was designed to take over the functioning of the municipalities or republic government, as the case may be, during times of war or a state of emergency when the Assembly, normally the highest authority of government, could not function. The Crisis Staff was to cease functioning when the relevant Assembly was able to re-assume its role. When activated, the Crisis Staff had complete executive and regulatory authority and acted as a collective body, with participation by representatives from the critical areas of the government and society.

14. Crisis Staffs were created at both the regional and municipal levels of authority as the bodies that would be responsible for the co-ordination and execution of most of the operational phase of the plan and assume authority over administration of the regions and municipalities. In May 1992, the ARK Crisis Staff publicly declared itself as the highest organ of authority at the regional level in Bosanska Krajina. The implementation of its directives and orders was mandatory. The ARK Crisis Staff also declared that the municipal Crisis Staffs were the highest authorities in the municipalities, subject to the authority of the regional Crisis Staff. Among its other actions, the Crisis Staff took control of the media and continued the campaign of propaganda against non-Serbs as a key instrument in the implementation of the aforementioned plan.

15. On 31 May and 10 June 1992, on the order of Radovan Karadzic, the Crisis Staffs were re-designated as War Presidencies and then War Commissions in the municipalities. The War Presidencies/War Commissions essentially maintained the same structure and authority as the Crisis Staffs, and were still commonly referred to by the public as Crisis Staffs (hereinafter the expression Crisis Staff will also include the phrases War Presidency and the War Commission at the relevant time).

16. Between April and December 1992, forces under the control of the Bosnian Serb authorities seized possession of those municipalities deemed to be a risk to the accomplishment of the overall plan to create a Serbian state within Bosnia and Herzegovina. The forces (hereinafter referred to as “Serb forces”) involved in the take-overs were comprised of the army, paramilitary, territorial defence (“TO”) and police units. These take-overs initiated a series of events, organised and directed by the Serb authorities which included the Crisis Staffs at municipal and regional level, that, by the end of 1992, would result in the death of hundreds and the forced departure of thousands of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population from those areas.

THE ACCUSED

17. Stojan ZUPLJANIN was born in 1951, in the village of Maslovare, Kotor Varos Municipality, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He graduated from law school in Sarajevo and was employed by the Banja Luka Secretariat of the Interior (SUP), working as the Commander of the police station in Mejdan and then as Head of the ordinary crimes office at the central police station in Banja Luka. From 1991 on, he served as the head or commander of the regional Security Services Centre (CSB) which had offices of both the Public Security Service (SJB) or police, and the State Security Service (SDB). His appointment to that office was supported by Radoslav BRDANIN on 25 January 1991. He was a member of the ARK Crisis Staff. He later served as the Minister of Internal Affairs of the ARK and a special advisor to the President of Republika Srpska.

INDIVIDUAL CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

SUPERIOR AUTHORITY

18. Between 1 April 1992 and 31 December 1992, Stojan ZUPLJANIN, as Commander of the CSB, had operational control over municipal and regional police forces in the ARK area, including those responsible for the operation of detention camps. The municipal police forces were required to report their activities to him on a daily basis. He was also responsible for the co-ordination of the activities of municipal and regional police forces with the 1st Krajina Corps for military operations and other actions. Police forces under the command of Stojan ZUPLJANIN took part in the activities which are the subject of the allegations described below.

19. Similarly, Stojan ZUPLJANIN, as the Commander of the CSB, had the authority to punish or initiate disciplinary proceedings against member of the forces under his command for any crimes that they may have committed. He also had the authority to direct and control the actions of the forces under his command.

20. The Bosnian Serb authorities, including the ARK Crisis Staff during the relevant period, had authority and control over: attacks on non-Serb villages and areas in the ARK; destruction of villages and institutions dedicated to religion; the seizure and detention of the Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats; the establishment and operation of detention camps; the killing and physical maltreatment of Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats; and the deportation or forcible transfer of the Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats from the area designated as the ARK. The Bosnian Serb authorities, including at the relevant time, the ARK Crisis Staff, also had the power to direct the regional CSB and the Public Prosecutor to investigate, arrest and prosecute any persons believed to have committed crimes within the ARK area, whether in the camps or elsewhere.

21. Stojan ZUPLJANIN, as a member of the ARK Crisis Staff, participated individually or in concert in the operations relating to the conduct of the hostilities and the destruction of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat communities in the ARK area. The individual members then carried out their particular responsibilities under the plan, according to their position. Throughout its existence, the ARK Crisis Staff worked as a collective body to co-ordinate and implement the overall plan to seize control of and “ethnically cleanse” the area of the ARK. After the dissolution of the ARK Crisis Staff, Stojan ZUPLJANIN continued with the implementation of the plan in his respective position in the Bosnian Serb power structure.
