The Serb, who currently chairs the United Nations General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, has been accused of bias in a debate about international justice. Mr Jeremic prevented Bosnian Muslims from speaking and evicted one of their delegates, who (was) wearing a T-shirt commemorating the Srebrenica massacre. Barbara Plett reports.
联合国大会轮值主席塞尔维亚人Vuk Jeremic被指责在关于国际正义的辩论中有偏袒行为。Mr Jeremic拒绝让波斯尼亚穆斯林发言并将其中一名代表驱逐出场,因其穿了一件纪念斯雷布雷尼屠杀的体恤衫。
The event was presented as an impartial debate on the impact of international criminal justice. But some nations said the speakers were stacked in favour of Serbia with the intention of giving them a platform to complain about their treatment by a UN war crimes tribunal. However, the Serbian head of the UN General Assembly Vuk Jeremic didn’t allow Bosnian Muslim victims to express their views. Diplomats said a proper debate could have addressed legitimate complaints. But they accused Mr Jeremic of instead exploiting his position to pursue his own political agenda, prompting a refusal by the heads of international tribunals to attend.
