The letter to ArcelorMittal’s  chief executive Mr.Mladen Jelaca

 

The chief executive of ArcelorMittal Mr. Mladen Jelaca commenting at a special event held to mark the occasion of decade of operation said:  “We are extremely proud of what has been achieved during these past 10 years. Through planned investments, and the skill and determination of our workforce, the foundations for a long-term, sustainable successful business have been laid. In doing this, we have also successfully made health and safety and Social Responsibility core elements of how we work; and we are as proud of our achievements in those areas as we are of our commercial success.”

 

Mr. Mlade Jelaca - Deliver what you have promised to the victims of the Omarska concentration camp -  only then ArcelorMittal can say that it is successful in 10 years of work

 

Mr. Mlade Jelaca,

 

We are now writing you this letter as we find your partaking regarding the former concentration camp of Omarska unacceptable and completely immoral. As you will not respond to the previous letters we find a letter at the time you mark the occasion of decade of operation  of ArcelorMittal to be the only possible way to gain your attention.

 

ArcelorMittal has withdrawn its commitment to finance the building of the memorial, stating in February of 2006 that it is ‘temporarily suspending’ the Omarska memorial project. In addition, ArcelorMittal has also started denying victims access to the site. On behalf of the victims of genocide in Prijedor who live in North America and many of whom were tortured in a concentration, death camp Omarska, the Institute for Research of Genocide Canada {IGC} once again warns:  Your current policy regarding Omarska is irresponsible, dangerous, and amounts to a policy of appeasement and genocide denial which leads to a perpetual crisis that endangers the stability of the entire Southeast Europe region. IGC strongly urges you to exercise corporate responsibility and deliver what you have promised to the victims of the Omarska concentration camp.

 

IGC will continue to inform the political authorities of USA and Canada and the organizations for the protection of Human Rights and Freedoms of your humiliation of victims of genocide in Prijedor.

Pismo izvršnom direktoru ArcelorMittala Mladenu Jelaču,

 

Prema izvještaju za medije koga smo dobili od Lidije Milić u povodu obilježavanja deset godina rada  ArcelorMittala izvršni direktor Mladen Jelača je rekao: "Izuzetno smo ponosni na ono što je postignuto u proteklih 10 godina. Kroz planirane investicije, kao i znanje i odlučnost naše radne snage udarili smo temelj za dugoročno, održivo i uspješno poslovanje. Pri tome smo takoÄ‘er uspješni i sigurni u našoj društvenoj odgovornosti u sredini u kojoj radimo.  Mi smo ponosni na naše dostignuća u tom područiju, kao što smo ponosni  i na naš poslovni uspjeh. "

 

IGK - gospodine Jelača  - Ispunite obećanje koje ste dali žrtvama koncentracionog logora smrti Omarska – tek tada ArcelorMittal može kazati da je uspješan u 10 godina rada.

 

Gospodine Jelača, 

 

Obraćamo vam se ovim pismom jer vaše djelovanje u vezi s bivšim koncentracionim logorom smrti  Omarska smatramo neprihvatljivim i potpuno nemoralnim. Kako niste odgovorili na naša prethodna pisma, nalazimo da je pismo povodom 10 godina rada vaše firme još jedan način da privučemo vašu pažnju.

 

Decembra, 2005 godine, na novinarskoj konferenciji kompanije ArcelorMittal u Banja Luci, najavili ste planove za memorijalni centar “Omarska” čiju izgradnju bi financirala firma ArcelorMittal. Od tada, ArcelorMittal je odustao od privrženosti finansiranju i izgradnji memorijalnog centra “Omarska”, navodeći u februaru. 2006. godine da se “privremeno obustavljaju” radovi projekta”.Poslije toga ArcelorMittal je počeo uskraćivati pravo žrtvama da posjete mjesto zločina.

 

U ime žrtava genocida u Prijedoru koji žive u Sjevernoj Americi i od kojih su mnogi bili strašno mućeni u koncentracionom logoru smrti Omarska, Institut za istraživanje genocida, Kanada {IGK} još jednom vas upozorava: Vaš trenutni stav i odnos u vezi Omarske je neodgovoran, opasan i predstavlja politiku negiranja genocida. Zato vas podstićemo da odmah primjenite odgovorne mjere i ispunite obećanje koje ste dali žrtvama koncentracionog logora Omarska.

 

IGK će nastaviti informisati političke organe SAD i Kanade i organizacije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i sloboda o vašem ponižavanju žrtava genocida u Prijedoru.
