Popular perception of what happened in the 1990s will radically change, according to legalists and transitional justice researchers at Westminster University in England, Aida Hehir, if Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi, are eventually convicted by the Judicial Chamber of Charges weighing on them in Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague.
Otherwise, the Special Court's confirmation that former Kosovo Liberation Army members were criminals involved in murder and torture, for Hehir, means amnesty of Serbian crimes committed during the recent war in Kosovo.
The trial against former KLA leaders began on Monday (April 3rd, after more than two years by confirming the indictment.
During the opening statement, the Special Prosecutor's Office argued that the accused and other members of the KLA have been part of a “Joint Criminal Enterprise” targeting those who considered “colaborationists” and “trandrist” to gain power “.
If the KLA in this case is defined as “Joint Criminal Enterprise”, according to British professor, it would be the most powerful military alliance the world has ever known, NATO, has co-operated with “criminal”, which would have significant implications on the Alliance's reputation.
