Public statement of Carlos Robert Steiner, a former Canadian army veteran and current member of the International Team of the Institute for Research of Genocide Canada

 

As a respected member of the International Expert Team for the Institute for Research of Genocide Canada, I invite all Bosnians around the world to unite in the struggle and call for the truth about the 1992-1995 war in the internationally recognized sovereign state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the genocide of Bosnians. A true call for justice to the perpetrators and victims of these crimes.

 

I am a veteran of the Canadian Forces, army infantry, having served as part of UNPROFOR in 1993 stationed in positions in and around Srebrenica. I witnessed the crime of aggression and discrimination against Bosnia and Herzegovina, genocide and crimes against Bosniaks. 

 

I have undertaken a legal battle for the truth about these crimes. I have filed formal complaints of discrimination, negligence and breach of privacy against the Canadian government, on my behalf and for the people of Bosnia Herzegovina. I am also pursing my efforts with the High Commission for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, my other nation of citizenship.

 

Several of us from UNPROFOR, IFOR SFOR and KFOR intend to return to Bosnia Herzegovina in summer 2013, with the intention of marching for Srebrenica on July 11th. We are an international coalition of veterans who want to help and be heard.

 

Dear Bosnians around the world, with your single action we can to reach our common goal, the truth about the atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and justice, peace and wellbeing for the victims of these crimes.

Izjava za javnost Carlosa Robert Steinera, bivšeg veterana Kanadske vojske i sadašnjeg člana Internacionalnog tima Instituta za istraživanje genocida Kanada

 

Kao član Internacionalnog ekspertnog tima respektabilnog Instituta za istraživanje genocida Kanada, pozivam sve Bošnjake širom svijeta da se ujedine u borbi za istinu o agresiji na meÄ‘unarodno priznatu, suverenu, državu Bosnu i Hercegovinu i genocidu nad Bošnjacima, te za pravdu za žrtve tih zločina.

Kao veteran kanadske vojske, koja je tokom 1993. godine u sklopu UNPROFOR-a bila stacionirana na položajima oko Srebrenice, svjedok sam zločina agresije prema Bosni i Hercegovini i zločina genocida prema Bošnjacima. Zato sam i poveo pravnu borbu za istinu o tim zločinima.

 

Prošle godine odlučio sam tužiti vladu Kande zbog diskriminacije koju su pripadnici kanadskog bataljona, u tom periodu, provodili nad Bošnjacima u Srebrenici.

 

Ja sam poveo pravnu bitku za istinu o tim zločinima. Uložio sam formalnu tužbu protiv Vlade Kanade zbog diskriminacije, nemara i kršenja privatnosti, u moje ime i za narod Bosne i Hercegovine.  TakoÄ‘er sam tužbu poslao Komisiji za ljudska prava UN sa sjedištem u Ženevi, Švicarska, moja druga domovina.

 

Nekoliko nas iz UNPROFOR-a, IFOR-a, SFOR-a i KFOR se namjeravamo vratiti u Bosnu i Hercegovinu u ljeto 2013, s namjerom da učestvujemo u ovogodišnjem Maršu mira ya Srebrenicu, 11 jula. Mi smo internacionalna  koalicija veterana koji žele pomoći i čiji glas se treba čuti.

Dragi Bošnjaci širom svijeta, samo vašom jedinstvenom akcijom možemo doći do našeg zajedničkog cilja, istine o zločinima u Bosni i Hercegovini i pravdi za žrtve tih zločina.
