Biljana Plavšić, who has died aged 96, was the only woman among the 161 people indicted(被起诉) by the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for ethnic cleansing(种族清洗) and other crimes against humanity(反人类罪) during the Balkan wars.
比利亚娜·普拉夫希奇去世,享年96岁。在巴尔干战争期间,前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭(ICTY)以种族清洗和其他反人类罪起诉了161人,她是其中唯一的女性。
On trial at the ICTY’s headquarters in The Hague in 2002, she admitted her guilt. “I have now come to the belief and accept the fact that many thousands of innocent people were the victims of an organised, systematic effort to remove Muslims and Croats from the territory claimed by Serbs(我现在相信并接受这一事实:成千上万的无辜者是一场有组织、有计划的行动的受害者,该行动旨在将穆斯林和克罗地亚人从塞族声称拥有的领土上驱逐出去。),” Plavšić told the judges.
2002年,在前南刑庭位于海牙的总部受审时,她承认了自己的罪行。普拉夫希奇对法官说:“我现在相信并接受这一事实:成千上万的无辜者是一场有组织、有计划的行动的受害者,该行动旨在将穆斯林和克罗地亚人从塞族声称拥有的领土上驱逐出去。”
“Although I was repeatedly informed of allegations(指控) of cruel and inhuman conduct(不人道行为) against non-Serbs, I refused to accept them or even to investigate. The knowledge that I am responsible for such human suffering and for soiling the character of my [Serbian] people will always be with me(我对自己造成如此人间苦难、玷污我[塞尔维亚]民族品格的认知将永远伴随着我。),” she added.
她补充说:“尽管我不断被告知有关针对非塞族人的残忍和不人道行为的指控,但我拒绝接受,甚至拒绝调查。我对自己造成如此人间苦难、玷污我[塞尔维亚]民族品格的认知将永远伴随着我。”
