...unlikely that any of these three lines of defense will work. Saddam may hope to follow the courtroom strategy of fellow apprehended dictator Slobodan Milosevic, but Judge Amein may not allow such theatrics, filibustering and hectoring of witnesses in his courtroom. Indeed, the refusal to recognize the court may be less a legal strategy than a political one, playing to Arab resentment toward the U.S. invasion both inside and outside Iraq. Izzat says that when he visits Aziz, who is being held in the same facility as Saddam, the bombs and gunshots of the insurgency are easily heard. By further...
Time's Belgrade stringer Dejan Anastasijevic has spent the last 12 years covering the wars and turbulence of the Balkans at close quarters, suffering harassment from the government of former president Slobodan Milosevic for his efforts to report on the actions of Serb security forces in Bosnia and Kosovo. Anastasijevic later testified for the prosecution during Milosevic's ongoing war-crimes trial at the Hague.

Thousands of Serbian police and military officers, thinly disguised as "volunteers", were put on Mladic's disposal by former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, and they were more than willing executioners...
...prisoners' hands, march them into a clearing and machine-gun them, one by one, while the others watch. The clip, filmed by the unit and obtained by a Serb human-rights investigator, aired last week in the Hague at the trial for war crimes of former Serb strongman Slobodan Milosevic. It was also broadcast around Europe. But it was in Serbia itself that the footage caused the greatest tremor. "Serbia is deeply shocked," Boris Tadic, the reform-minded Serb President, said in a televised address. The images, he said, are "proof of a monstrous crime committed against persons...
