Letter: Nato's fault, again
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The cluster bombs implicated in the murder-by-air of civilians in the Serbian city of Nis and also, apparently, the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade have made it imperative that the UN and other international bodies concerned with war crimes extend their investigation when this war is over beyond Mr Milosevic and his minions to the Chiefs of Staff at Nato and the foreign secretariats of the US, Britain and probably also Germany.
It will also be essential to include my President and at least his Secretaries of State and Defense and his National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger.
I know that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, suggested a while ago after the first widely publicised "collateral" killings of civilians in Kosovo and Serbia that it would be a good idea to investigate Nato on war crimes charges. These latest events make such an investigation inevitable.
