...General Radislav Krstic was sentenced Thursday to 46 years in prison for his role as second-in-command of the Bosnian Serb forces that massacred almost 8,000 Muslim men and boys in a town that had been declared a safe haven under U.N. protection. His superiors, General Ratko Mladic and Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic remain at large, probably somewhere in the Bosnian Serb republic. But the deportation of Slobodan Milosevic to the Hague means that Serbia-proper is no longer a safe haven for Karadzic and Mladic, and they will, therefore, sooner or later, be apprehended...

...even the convictions of Karadzic or Mladic would fully address the acts and omissions that caused the Srebrenica massacre. The U.N. contingent's shameful performance there may actually have even facilitated it. U.N. forces had created a "safe haven" in the town, where they promised protection to refugees from the Serb offensive in northern Bosnia. But when the 600 lightly-armed Dutch peacekeepers came under attack from the Serb forces, they began to retreat. The Bosnian Muslim fighters who'd surrendered their weapons to the U.N. as a condition for entering the safe haven asked for them back, hoping that...

...tribunal. And that success will spur the efforts of those seeking redress for crimes committed all over the world by those whose access to the corridors of power appeared to buy them immunity. Among those least likely to have slept much on Thursday night are Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, the Serb leaders most wanted for atrocities committed in Bosnia, who had eluded justice in no small part because of Milosevic's patronage. The two men are thought to be hiding out in Bosnia, and now that the Serb authorities have acted to deliver Milosevic, NATO will presumably be emboldened...

...Milosevic's departure, even if it is followed shortly by the extradition of Karadzic, Mladic and others on the wanted list, doesn't quite close the brutal chapter of Balkan history that might be termed the Milosevic era. While Serbs have become increasingly comfortable with blaming Milosevic and his henchmen for many of the crimes against humanity that occurred in the Balkan wars of the past decade, Serbian society has only just begun to pose the more uncomfortable questions about collective culpability. But the trial will be a challenge to the international community, too. It was relatively uncontroversial...

...Karadzic and Mladic and Milosevic," he says, rattling off the names of three indicted Balkan war criminals. Then an aside: "Once when I went to see Milosevic, I was stuck in the elevator for 15 minutes! After that I would always take the stairs." He laughs and continues, "But when you see these guys, it is hard to understand. Milosevic will talk about his days when he was a banker here in New York City. He speaks English, sounds like a rational, reasonable person, and yet he is capable of all sorts of acts. How do they...
