On the 10th anniversary of the cessation of NATO aggression

against the Federal Republic of Yugo-slavia (FRY), a gathering was held at the University of Belgrade Law Faculty during which memories were brought back about different endeavours by teachers and students of this faculty to draw attention to violations of in-ternational law during the war against FRY. The gathering followed the pub-lication of the book “Aggression: Cor-respondence of the Faculty of Law of Belgrade during the War against FRY”, edited by Prof. Dr. Oliver Antic, which was published in 2009 by the Faculty’s Publishing and Information Centre. The presentation of the book in the Conference Hall of the Faculty includ-ed speeches by teaching staff members Prof. Dr. Oliver Antic, Prof. Dr. Sima Avramovic, and Dr. Branko Rakic, As-sistant Professor, as well as the Student Vice-Dean Filip Bojic.

Prof. Dr. Oliver Antic pointed out that the book was symbolically pub-lished on the tenth anniversary of

NATO bombing in order to ascertain,now after a decade, that the bombingof FRY represented the infringementof international law, ignoring of justiceand use of most violent force whichhappens only in extreme cases, whenbig political goals are to be achieved,such as the severing of Kosovo, as itwould be revealed later. Prof. Dr. SimaAvramovic spoke about a “small com-puter war” launched by the Faculty of Law in 1999, which was “initiated” by the students gathered around the Or-ganization for the European Universi-ty Tradition (TEU) when they made acall for the end of the bombing of FRY.It was followed by a similar call by theFaculty of Law, which also invited allthe interested persons to participate ina debate. This led to a correspondencewith their colleagues from all over theworld. A special support in their fightfor truth about the aggression againstFRY came to our law professors andstudents from two professors fromthe United States – Bernard Hibbitts,Professor at the University of Pitts-

burg’s Law School and editor of therenowned American legal internet siteJurist, and Prof. Alan Watson, one of the most outstanding world authoritiesin Roman and comparative law and le-gal history, as well as a great friend of our Faculty.�
