Europe to Crack down on Organ traffickingby Barbara Green [11. July 2014]

The Council of Europe on Wednesday has created an international convention amongmember states against human organ trafficking. This convention intends to commitmember states to enforcing, and it some cases creating, laws against the illegal trade of

human organs within their countries. This can include traffic in organs from living ordeceased, voluntary or involuntary donors. It is hoped that this will prevent the sale ofhuman organs, typically from individuals desperate for money, or the theft of organsfrom unwilling donors. It will also prevent the sale of organs from deceased individuals

by illicit traders.

It is estimated by health officials that in Europe there are at least 60,000 individualswaiting for kidney transplants, which is one of the most commonly needed organs. Asat least a dozen of these individuals die daily without receiving a needed transplantand combined with the agony of waiting for an organ through the legitimate organdonation networks many desperate patients are pushed into the illegal market. Thisis limited to patients of means, who are capable of traveling to distant locations andpaying out of pocket for the needed organs. This trade is facilitated by criminal cartelswho coerce economically or psychically desperate individuals to surrender one of theirkidneys.

According to the World Health Organization, illicit organ donation occursapproximately 10,000 times a year. Individuals who sell their organs through theblack-market often have long-lasting negative health repercussions due to lack ofadequate follow-up care and substandard conditions in the surgical donationtheaters. The Council of Europe hopes that with this new convention the negativeeffects of the illegal trade in organs can be limited in Europe. While it will be up toindividual members states to prosecute organ traffickers, many of the potentialsignatories states have already released statements noting that the donors will not be

prosecuted under any potentially introduced laws. However, surgeons and traffickerswho facilitate this traffic will likely be prosecuted under this convention.

Organ trafficking in Europe has received a great deal of attention in the last month.

A special investigation team in Kosovo is expectedto release their findings in the next few monthson alleged Human Organ Trafficking during the war in 1999.

News programs in Kosovohave released information on the investigationthat claims that these accusations were unfounded.

This will likely be highly controversial,as the claims of an illegal organ trade occurringduring the conflict has also been investigatedby the United Nations and the Council of Europe.

Both organizations have found thatthe allegations are credibleand have called for further investigations.

There have also been rumors among Russian media sources that Ukrainian forces andtheir allies have been engaging in illegal organ trade that targets the Russian-Ukrainian population. The BBC has noted that there is little to no evidence of these

claims, which are largely propagated by word of mouth rather than any official reports.However, the concern that individuals, especially orphans or refugees whosedisappearance during chaos may go unnoticed, have had their organs forcibly removedremains a topic of concern in Russian-language social media.

Vukcevic:

Yellow House casehas reached its end Today

[July 23, 2014]

BELGRADE Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic stated on Tuesday that the investigation intohuman organ trafficking in Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) and the Yellow House case has reached its end and that adecision now needs to be adopted as to whether the indictment would be raised or the case would bedismissed.

The evidence we have gathered testifies that war crimes were indeed committed, but we havenot reached the individuals who executed them. We have established the existence of the criminalact of war crime but we have not managed to establish the particulars concerning the allegedorgan trafficking

Vukcevic told reporters in the Special Court, ahead of his meeting with chief prosecutor Clint Williamson ofthe special team in charge of the investigation into human organ trafficking during the 1999 clashes in KiM.

I see that the investigation has come to an end and now the decision needs to be adopted as towhether to raise the indictment or call off any further proceedings

Vukcevic said. The Serbian War Crimes Prosecutors Office attempted to realise cooperation with theirAlbanian colleagues and get access to the sites suspected of containing victims remains but were deniedthe right to examine the field, he said. Vukcevic expressed the expectation that Williamson will release theresults of the investigation into the case in the days to come.

Vukcevic said that the War Crimes Prosecutors Office has obtained information according to which over300 people of non-Albanian ethnicity went missing in the area and over 400 witnesses were interrogatedduring the investigation.

Replying to reporters question as to whether he knows the contents of Williamsons report, Vukcevic saidthat he does not know what the report states and he also did not wish to mention names of potentialsuspects which came up during the proceedings conducted by the Serbian Prosecutors Office.

I will not disclose any names, I will leave it to Williamson to do so instead

Vukcevic said. Asked by reporters if he has any knowledge about the allegations reported by Pristina mediawhich say that the report lists no tangible evidence of organ trafficking activities, Vukcevic said that it hadbeen agreed at the very first meeting with Williamson in Brussels that no statements should be made aboutthe report until its official presentation. Vukcevic commended Williamson on the work done in the case inthe course of the past three years.

The Yellow House case was launched upon publication of the book The Hunt written by formerprosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia Carla del Ponte which presentsan account of the human organ trafficking in KiM, Vukcevic said. After the book publication, the SerbianProsecutors Office launched the investigation and submitted its report to Council of Europe special

rapporteur for human organ trafficking Dick Marty. Williamsons investigation followed Martys report,Vukcevic said and added that he hopes the results of the investigation will be made public in the next fewdays.

Justice of the Peace by Adam LeBor | March 26, 2009

Cynics argue that because the United Nations was unable to stop the carnage in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, it setup war crimes tribunals instead, as a kind of humanitarian consolation prize.

What the diplomats did not expect was Carla Del Ponte s determination to bring the perpetrators to justice and to end theculture of impunity. As the attorney general of Switzerland , she had fought against the muro di gomma , the wall ofrubber, that deflected her attempts to stop Mafia money-laundering.

Madame Prosecutor is her account of battling the muro di gomma across the Balkans, Rwanda and Western capitals.

It is a relentless, sometimes (understandably) angry book, and an important insiders account of the quest forinternational justice.

Each of its 13 chapter titles begins with the word Confronting:

"Confronting Ko sovo""Confronting Rwandas Genocide" even"Confronting the Tribunal Bureaucracy"

the heading for a chapter in which she accuses some of her own officials of obstruction and incompetence.

Del Pontes determination to make the Rwanda and Yugoslavia tribunals functioning instruments of internationalcriminal justice caused consternation. She was a wild card, disrupting diplomacys finely calibrated responses. Yet shesucceeded, at least in part. Slobodan Milosevic , the former president of Serbia , was arrested on charges ofgenocide and died in his cell at the United Nations detention center in The Hague in 2006. Radovan Karadzic , theformer Bosnian Serb leader, is detained there now and is preparing his defense against charges of genocide.

Del Ponte wrote Madame Prosecutor with Chuck Sudetic, who covered the Yugoslav wars for The New York Timesfrom 1990 to 1995. Sudetic, a fine reporter and an elegant writer, is the author of Blood and Vengeance, one ofthe best books on the former Yugoslavia. Madame Prosecutor is less evocative but is clearly written andgenerally well paced , although occasionally the depth of detail, as Del Ponte outlines yet another meeting withobstructive Serbian or Croatian officials, slows down the narrative.

The books microfocus on her political battles also means it lacks sufficient geo political context. Del Ponte had aringside seat at one of the most momentous shifts in international diplomacy in recent history: the setting up of new legal

instruments to bring dictators and war criminals to justice. There are occasional insider snippets, as when, in March2001, Kofi Annan , then the secretary general of the United Nations, wrote to Del Ponte admonishing her for calling foreconomic aid to Yugoslavia to be made conditional on better cooperation with the tribunal. However, the reader is leftwishing that Del Ponte were as indiscreet about her dealings with the superpowers as she is, for example, about herrelations with her own officials.

Only a tiny fraction of Yugoslav war criminals have been indicted.

By the time Del Ponte left her post, at the end of 2007, the tribunal had issued 161 indictments,mostly concentrating on senior figures. Local courts are now expected to take up the burden.Some of the horrors chronicled make for grim reading, and one incident in particular haunts longafter the book has been closed.

In February 2007, a protected prosecution witness gave evidence at the trial of seven sen iorBosnian Serb army officers, charged with the massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys atSrebrenica in 1995. The witness had been a driver, delivering food and drink to the executioners as

they lined up their victims and sprayed them with gunfire.And then, suddenly, the shooting stopped.

A very young boy emerged from the heap of bodies, covered in blood and mangled flesh. He beganwalking toward the gunmen, crying for his Babo (father). The soldiers lowered their weapons.The commanding officer ordered them to shoot the boy, but they refused, telling him to do ithimself. The witness intervened on behalf of the boy:

"All of a sudden he took me by the hand. ...I dont want any one of you to experience that, ...the grip, the grip of him on my hand, and I was amazed at his strength".

He took the boy to his van and put some music on, while the gunmen returned to their work.

Later in February 2007, another witness testified at the Srebrenica trial. It was the boy (now a youngman) who had crawled out from the pile of corpses.

The Yugoslav tribunal is scheduled to close down by the end of 2011. Meanwhile, in January, the InternationalCriminal Court in The Hague began its first trial, that of Thomas Lubanga , a former Congolese warlord.Survivors of Congos horrors have already taken the witness stand. For this, too, Carla Del Ponte deservesconsiderable credit.

Revelations in Carla del Ponte's book[11. April 2008]

I have written in today's paper "about the revelations from" Carla del Ponte's new book "TheHunt: Me and War criminals". I wanted to talk to her before writing the piece, but was unableto get an interview.

Carla del Ponte's book on sale in Rome

Some readers of this blog have already posted snippets of the book in their comments. Most of these excerpts translated from the original Italianhave come from Serb media outletsperhaps not the most objective source fora story about Serbs being tortured.

So with the help of our Rome correspondent, Malcolm Moore, I have put together a transcription of the relevantparts of CdP's book for those interested parties.

In it she reports allegations made by several sources that KLA fighters, at a senior level, had authorised and profitedfrom an organ-harvesting racket preying on Serbs transported from Kosovo.

It is worth remembering she got the information they provided through UN officials and "trusted journalists" notfrom the sources themselves.

Here it is uncut for you to judge:

In a chapter entitled "Kosovo 1999-2007" she writes:

The prosecutors office received information which UNMIK officials had received from a team oftrustworthy journalists that during the summer months of 1999 Kosovan Albanians had transported300 kidnapped people from Kosovo to Albania.

These prisoners were initially held in sheds and other structures in Kukes and Tropoje [Harry's note -north-eastern Albania]. According to the journalists' sources, who were only identified as Kosovo Albanians, some of the younger and fitter prisoners were visited by doctors and were never hit.

They were transferred to other detention camps in Burrel and the neighbouring area, one of whichwas a barracks behind a yellow house 20 km behind the town.

One room inside this yellow house, the journalists said, was kitted out as a makeshift operating

theatre, and it was here that surgeons transplanted the organs of prisoners. These organs, accordingto the sources, were then sent to Rinas airport, Tirana, to be sent to surgical clinics abroad to betransplanted to paying patients.

One of the informers had personally carried out a shipment to the airport.

The victims, deprived of a kidney, were then locked up again, inside the barracks, until the momentthey were killed for other vital organs. In this way, the other prisoners in the barracks were aware ofthe fate that awaited them, and according to the source, pleaded, terrified to be killed immediately.

Among the prisoners who were taken to these barracks were women from Kosovo, Albania, Russiaand other Slavic countries. Two of the source said that they helped to bury the corpses of the deadaround the yellow house and in a neighbouring cemetery.

According to the sources, the organ smuggling was carried out with the knowledge and activeinvolvement of middle and high ranking involvement from the KLA.

The tribunal investigators discovered that even if the information for the journalists was tear-jerking,the details were coherent within themselves and confirmed information directly gathered by thetribunal.

'The material within [from the office of the court] does not contain specific material from Albania; but

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/books/review/LeBor-t.html?_r=0

a low number of witness statements and other material we have confirms and to a certain extentamplifies the stated information,' I noted in a memo on this activity.

'All the individuals whom the sources cite as present in the Albanian camps in the summer of 1999were declared to be lost in the summer of 1999 and had never been seen since then.'

The implications were obvious; 'Given the extremely grave nature of the these cases, the fact that practically none of the bodies of the victims of the KLA were found in the exhumations in Kosovo andthe fact that these atrocities would have been committed under the supervision or command of theleadership of the KLA at the medium or high level, they should be investigated in the most thoroughway possible by professional investigators and experts.'

The victims of these cases were probably seized after the end of the NATO air campaign in a period inwhich Kosovo was overrun with foreign peacekeepers and legions of investigators andrepresentatives from Human Right operations. It was not clear whether crimes committed in this arcof time fell under the mandate of the tribunal.

The prosecutors office should have asked for the names of the sources from the journalists and UNMIKas well as any other information they had on this case.In a second passage Ms del Ponte goes on torelate a visit to the alleged organ surgery in Burrel, Albania "a few months" after October 2002, presumably in early 2003.

She writes:

A few months after [October 2002] the investigators of the tribunal and UNMIK reached central Albania and the yellow house which the journalists sources had revealed as the place where the prisoners were killed to transplant their organs. The journalists and the Albanian prosecutoraccompanied the investigators on to the site.

The house was now white. The owner denied it had ever been repainted even though investigatorsfound traces of yellow along the base of its walls.

Inside the investigators found pieces of gauze, a used syringe and two plastic IV bags encrusted withmud and empty bottles of medicine, some of which was of a muscle relaxant often used in surgicaloperations.

The application of a chemical substance revealed to the scientific team traces of blood on the wallsand on the floor of a room inside the house, except for in a clean area of the floor sized 180x60cm.

The owner offered a variety of explanations for the bloodstains over the course of the two days theinvestigators spent in the village.

Initially he said that many years ago his wife had given birth in that room then when his wife said shehad her children elsewhere he asserted that the family had used the building to butcher animals fora Muslim festival.

It is tempting to draw conclusions from these investigations, combined with the fragmentarytestimony from the journalists. Stories of prisoners killed by organ traffickers circulate in many conflictareas, but rarely is it possible to find concrete proof which would separate these tales from urbanlegend.

The syringes, the iv solution bags, the gauze are clearly material which confirms the tales, but as proofthey are unfortunately insufficient. The investigators were not able to determine whether the tracesthey found were of human blood. The sources did not indicated the position of the grave of the presumed victims and so we did not find the bodies.

Ex-Hague prosecutor

Alleges Organ Trafficking in Kosovo

13 April 2008

The Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kosovo reacted on Friday to a letter from HumanRights Watch where they were asked to investigate the allegations in Carla Del Pontes bookabout alleged organ trafficking in the aftermath of the Kosovo war.

Nekibe Kelmendi, currently Minister of Justice and a reputable Kosovar lawyer, told journalistsin Prishtina that allegation about organ trafficking immediately after the war are purefabrications made by Del Ponte or perhaps Serbia herself

Kelmendi stresses that she has met with Carla Del Ponte four times and she never mentionedthese allegations to her. If she knew of such cases then she should be charged with withholding

evidence and hiding these crimes, Kelmendi said. Former Chief Prosecutor of CriminalTribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Carla Del Ponte, published a book in Italian in the beginning of this month. Many weeks before the book reached Italian bookshops, it wasavailable for Serbian journalists who chose to publish selective excerpts that mainly dealt withKosovo and the Kosovo Liberation Army.

In the book called The Hunt: Me and War Criminals, Carla Del Ponte claims she had receivedinformation saying Kosovo Albanians were involved in organ trafficking. According to Serbmedia, the information provided to Del Ponte alleged three hundred Serbs where kidnapped inKosovo and then transported to a remote town in Albania where their organs were removed andsold to wealthy patients around the world. Del Ponte writes that her subordinates gave up thiscase because further investigation could not be implemented.

The allegations have already been sharply denied by former Kosovar and Albanianofficials. Ahmet Isufi, a former KLA commander and now deputy leader of the politicalparty Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, told journalists that no such crimes were carriedout and that he believed these undocumented allegations were nothing more than political.He was also quoted as saying:

"The case Del Ponte, if we can speak in the softest terms,is a case that needs psychiatric treatment"

Earlier this week Swiss authorities decided to stop the promotion of the book and ordered DelPonte to return as soon as possible to Argentina where she is Swiss ambassador. Swiss officialssaid Del Ponte had included within her book information which an official of the Swissgovernment should not be allowed to state publicly.

The allegations have caused fierce reactions among Albanians in both Kosovo and Albania.Most of the reactions emphasize that Albania does not have any hospital where organtransplantation can be implemented. They also cannot believe that this could have been keptsecret when the information provided suggests tens or even hundreds of people were involved inthis operation.

A commentator from Tirana writes:

"This madness coming from Del Ponte shocks us. The anti-Albanian hate this womanhas been cultivating puts in doubt her independence and objectivity as Chief Persecutorwhen it comes to investigating crimes committed in Kosovo"

Commentators are unanimous that Del Ponte used these undocumented allegations as agimmick to sell the book, and they all agree that this is going to be used by Serbs to enforcethe victim mentality promoted by current prime minister of Serbia, Vojislav Kostunica .

It is also claimed that Del Ponte, with these undocumented, sensational allegations, wantedto shift focus from her failures as Chief Prosecutor to the Kosovo Albanians. During her

time at the ICTY, Carla Del Ponte did not manage to bring to justice Serb war criminalsRadovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, believed to be the masterminds behind theSrebrenica massacre where 8 000 Bosnia boys and men were massacred.

The book has also attracted attention in Del Pontes native country, Switzerland. In its Thursdayedition, Neue Zrcher Zeitung reports about the source of these allegations. According to thisSwiss influential newspaper, the allegations are most likely based on an inquiry conducted by ateam of journalists back in 1999. The newspaper claims to know who these journalists are. Whenthe journalists could not advance further their investigation, they gave up but at the same timeinformed ICTY.

Pandeli Majko, Albanian Prime Minister during the Kosovo war, reacted with disbelief whiletalking to the newspaper and explained that he never had information about something like thishappening after the war.

The newspaper criticizes Del Ponte for publishing these unproven allegations and goes on withsaying that Del Ponte has created a Frankenstein myth that will circulate in the Balkans for along time.

There is scepticism about the accuracy of these claims also among experts on the Balkansand the ICTY.

Mirko Klarin, an authority on the tribunal and Balkan war crimes at the Institute for Warand Peace Reporting, described Del Ponte's allegations

"as irresponsible and appalling.

...This is more journalistic than prosecutorial. She shouldn't put rumours in her book".

Serb human rights activist, Natasa Kandic, says

"allegations of organ-smuggling are rumours I talked to [Del Ponte] many times,she never told me about this" said Kandic to Daily Telegraph.

Natashino "shuskanje" [rumors]

"Nata ! a Kandi " had sent the Office of theProsecutor a published report indicating that 593personsSerbs, Montenegrins, Roma, and SlavicMuslimshad either disappeared or were abductedafter June 12, 1999, the day the NATO-led

international peacekeeping force, KFOR, deployed inKosovo, and were still missing on December 31,2000.

Several aspects of these disappearances were strange, andsuggested that they were not simply acts of post-conflictvengeance. Most of the disappearances had taken place indistricts where there had been no large-scale violence bySerbian forces against Kosovo Albanians during the NATO air

campaign.Dozens of Yugoslav Army soldiers had alsodisappeared during the bombing andcontemporaneous fighting against the KLA.Additionally, more than 1,500 Albanians disappearedafter the KLA had taken them into custody duringthe bombing; and more than three hundred Albanianshad disappeared in the second half of 1999 and in2000" []
