The XXI century will be a сentury either of total all-embracing crisis or of moral and spiritual healing that will reinvigorate humankind. It is my conviction that all of us - all reasonable political leaders, all spiritual and ideological movements, all  faiths - must help in this transition to a triumph of humanism and justice, in making the XXI century a century of a new human renaissance.

Refusal to let Milosevic receive treatment in Moscow a mistake – Gorbachev


       Former  Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev  has  described  the  international tribunal's decision not to grant former  Yugoslav  President  Slobodan  Milosevic  leave to receive medical treatment in Russia as a mistake.
     "That  he  made  this  request  so  recently  and that the tribunal reacted  the way it did - I believe that they made a big mistake. It was somewhat  inhuman,"  he  said  on  Ekho Moskvy radio on Saturday. Russia offered  every  guarantee that Milosevic would be returned to The Hague,
he added.
     Gorbachev  stressed  that  The Hague Tribunal must exist. "Its very existence  should  be  a  lesson  to  everyone  who  encroaches upon the greatest values in life," he said.
