...strongest military alliance in history. And we talked not just with the Soviet Union but to people in Srebrenica and the dissidents and made it possible for people who wanted to challenge the system, to challenge it. I think Iran will be different. The formula for dealing with Iran, it will be different. But I do know that if Iraq emerges as a stable Shi'a-led, non-theocratic democracy, but that's a real problem for Iran. It's a real problem for its legitimacy, with Najaf being in Iraq and it's a real problem for its narrative...
Carla del Ponte, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, next week opens the prosecution of seven men suspected of the murder of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim inhabitants of the town of Srebrenica in 1995. She met Time's Andrew Purvis at her offices in the Dutch city of the Hague and discussed the frustrations of her work, the hunt for Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic and the war in Iraq. After 13 years, the U.N. war-crimes tribunal is nearing the end of its work. Has it been worth it? Definitely...
...been notable only for their complete failure. Karadzic, 60, a former psychiatrist, led the breakaway Bosnian Serbs during the war. He was indicted by the tribunal in 1995 on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for his role in the massacre of 8,000 men and boys at Srebrenica, the worst mass killing in Europe since World War II, and for overseeing the three-year siege of Sarajevo, among other crimes. General Mladic, 63, a former colonel and loyal communist in the Yugoslav People's Army, was Karadzic's military commander, though that does not come close to capturing...
...detention center near the Hague, where he was the first head of state to be prosecuted for genocide; apparently of natural causes. Milosevic, who had heart trouble, had been on trial since 2002 for his alleged role as architect of the 1995 slaughter of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica and other crimes. His decade-long rule over Yugoslavia and Serbia produced four wars, which led to 250,000 deaths and introduced the term ethnic cleansing. Son of a defrocked Orthodox priest and a teacher, Milosevic lost power in a 2000 election. Serbia's new leaders extradited...
That makes it even more crucial to bring to trial the two most wanted remaining fugitives, Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. Along with Milosevic, both were indicted by the war-crimes court for their role in the infamous 1995 massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, and are widely believed to be in hiding in Serbia, although the Serbian government denies harboring them. Observers say only intense international pressure will persuade Belgrade to cooperate. Serbia's desire to eventually join the European Union might also give it an incentive to rid itself of the pair...
