I think you're getting your atrocities mixed up fella, during the Kosova war there was a lot of them.

Pilger wrote a column, Jeremy praised in a motion that read;

“reminding readers of the devastating human cost of the so-termed ‘humanitarian’ invasion of Kosovo, led by NATO and the United States in the Spring of 1999, without any sanction of the United Nations Security Council [and] congratulates John Pilger on his expose of the fraudulent justifications for intervening in a ‘genocide’ that never really existed in Kosovo”.

Now this was in 1999, two years before any UN ruling on the genocide whilst simultaneously opposing efforts to curtail Milosevic's advances in Kosovo.

The reason this is being brought up in connection now is that it seems like he doesn't have many qualms in associating with deniers of it before there were actual rulings on it.

Now the ruling itself was rather patchy imo, concluding.

Crimes against humanity and war crimes did take place, it said, but "the exactions committed by Milosevic's regime cannot be qualified as criminal acts of genocide since their purpose was not the destruction of the Albanian ethnic group... but its forceful departure from Kosovo".

Which understandably infuriated a lot of Albanians.

So think the issue is the previous stuff tbh.
