...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 by NATO troops and brought to the Hague to face the same charges as Krstic...
Disputing my view that the transfer of Slobodan Milosevic to the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague was a momentous event for international justice, Charles Krauthammer argues that Western political and economic leverage is the real champion of an "illegal" transfer that "threatens to destabilize Serbia" [VIEWPOINT, July 9].

The tribunal's original indictment against Milosevic, issued in 1999, deals with the atrocities committed by Serb and Yugoslav army...
...Slobodan Milosevic, in the meantime, returns at the end of his day in court to a 15 x 15m cell at the detention center in Scheveningen, a suburb of the Hague set against the North Sea. A surveillance camera follows his movements at all times and a prison guard passes by his cell every 20 minutes. He has his own shower and toilet, a radio and satellite TV. He can work out in the center's gym, study in the library or pray in the religion room...
