...already spent 14 months in inconclusive talks prior to the publication of Ahtisaari's plan.) Under another proposal, to be decided on later this month, talks may be convened somewhere in Europe that would include all interested parties, similar to the 1995 meetings in Dayton, Ohio that ended the Bosnian...
...prepares to retire from one of the biggest manhunts of the past decade, Carla Del Ponte believes success is imminent.

Today, we are concerned for the victims of Darfur and the women of Afghanistan, but who remembers the Bosnian war crimes?

Zbanic, a 32-year-old Bosnian, tells the story of her struggling country in the aftermath...
