Hartman, Florence -
Florence Hartmann is a journalist and essayist, well-known to the defenders of the rights of human beings. She has published several books and articles. From 2000 to 2006, she was advisor for the Balkans and spokeswoman of the ICTY prosecutor Carla Del Ponte. An order of the Trial Chamber on August 27 2008 accuses Florence Hartmann of "contempt of court", i.e. of hindering justice by "deliberately and consciously disclosing information and knowingly violating a Chamber order." Her indictment is based on three pages of her book "Peace and Punishment" published in October 2007 and an article "Vital genocide documents concealed" published in January 2008 on the Bosnian Institute site. In pages 120 to 122 of her book she explains the mechanism by which the judges were led to conceal crucial documents: the archives of the Supreme Council for Defence of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro). Thus, judges have consciously given up their duty to establish the truth and have notably prevented, by withholding evidence, the International Court of Justice from establishing the responsibility of Serbia in the genocide committed in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Whistleblower - Wikipedia article: "A whistleblower is an employee or former employee of an organization who reports misconduct to people or entities that have the power to take corrective action. Generally the misconduct is a violation of law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest - fraud, health, safety violations, and corruption are just a few examples. For instance, Jeffrey Wigand is a well-known whistleblower in the United States for his role in the Big Tobacco scandal, revealing that executives of the companies knew that cigarettes were addictive and that they added other carcinogenic ingredients to the cigarettes. Whistleblowers are most often employees of businesses, but are also commonly employees of government agencies."
