The Belgrade District Court War Crimes Chamber verdict rendered on 10 April 2007 against indicted members of the Scorpions Unit for the execution of
six Bosniak civilians in Trnovo, BiH, committed in July 1995 is not based on the law and facts determined during the trial.
The film has been made owing to the financial support of National Endowment for Democracy (NED), U.S.A, and Swedish Helsinki Committee for Human Rights (SHC), Sweden.
Archival footage used in this film includes materials of Humanitarian Law Center, International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia and records made by Scorpions themselves.
Film “The Scorpions – Home Movie” has been released on 10 April 2007, on the day of pronouncement of the verdict of the War Crimes Council of the Regional Court of Belgrade to the Scorpions for the war crime committed in Trnovo.
By using the statements of former members of the Scorpions unit, and the materials recorded by the unit itself in the course of its campaignes, this film demonstrates the functioning of a typical combat unit organized by the security service to do dirty jobs in the Balkan wars.
Archival footage used in this film includes materials of Humanitarian Law Center, International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia and records made by Scorpions themselves.

Yesterday four Serbian human rights organizations sent a letter to all 27 heads of government in the European Union to express deep concern at recent signals of retreat from insistence on Serbia’s concrete cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) as a pre-condition to resuming talks on a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA). The European Commission suspended those talks in May 2006 over Serbia’s failure to cooperate with the ICTY, specifically citing the failure to arrest former Bosnian Serb Army Commander Ratko Mladic.

The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) expresses its concern that the daily Glas javnosti published the supplement “Srebrenica ID” with its March 12 and 20, 2007 issues, in which author Milivoje Ivanišević denies that genocide was committed in Srebrenica despite the fact that genocide was established by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgment of February 26, 2007. This is a continuation of the culture of denial of the most horrible crime that can be committed and of the systematic attempts to revise history and the past.
