The "expert Opinion" of the ex-prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Luis Moreno Ocampo on the so called 'genocide' against the Armenian residents of Garabagh was cooked in just nine days without even visiting the place where this "genocide" is allegedly taking place, Report informs via EU Today.
The response to Ocampo’s opinion by international law expert Rodney Dixon KC at the UK’s Temple Garden Chambers attracted attention of many international media including EU Today, Wprost, Sofiaglobe, Jauns, Telegraf, Informator, Focus, Unian and others.
Ocampo resigned from his position as Prosecutor of the ICC in 2012, and since then the world media have mentioned his name only in the context of corruption scandals and covering up the interests of criminals, which is why his words have no weight.
Rodney Dixon is one of those who understood this and responded to Ocampo's article.
Dixon's legal assessment of Moreno Ocampo's opinion includes five key observations that demonstrate the lack of credibility and the unsubstantiated nature of the allegations contained therein, EU Today notes.
The expert presents various arguments why the document should not be considered worthy of serious consideration, but the most important one is that, from the point of view of international law, genocide is out of the question in this case.
On its part, Greece's Themanews agency notes another important point highlighted by Dixon that Ocampo’s assessment is "patently selective in the ‘facts’ to which it refers." Ocampo speaks of a fictitious "genocide" while deliberately failing to mention the existence of another humanitarian supply road, the Aghdam-Khankandi.
According to Latvia's Jauns, Armenia did not heed the words of a leading expert in international law and on August 11, it asked the UN Security Council to convene an emergency meeting on the subject, referring to Ocampo's report which Dixon calls untrue.
The articles on Ocampo's biased report were also published in the Ukrainian, Georgian, Bulgarian, Polish, Lithuanian and Moldovan media.
