...offering the same defense - it's a riveting moment in the history of global justice. But despite the obvious similarities, the trials of Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein represent two fundamentally different approaches to international prosecutions. And one of them is deeply flawed. In the Hague this week, former Yugoslav President Milosevic is scheduled to take the floor in his own defense. He faces charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, as well as conducting a campaign of genocide against Bosnian Muslims - yet an uninformed visitor to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia would be excused...
...DIED. SIR RICHARD MAY, 65, British judge who presided over former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's war-crimes tribunal; in Oxford, England. The low-key but occasionally prickly barrister resigned in February due to grave health, and after two years of courtroom wrangling with the defiant Serbian leader over everything from cell-phone use to the former dictator's efforts to blame the Balkan wars on Western political leaders...

She returned home when she was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada...
...will have these cases treated by our courts." He talks of Serbia's foreign interests lying not only in Washington and Brussels but also in Moscow, Beijing and with "our old ties" in the so-called nonaligned countries, a bloc co-founded in the 1960s by former Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito. Like the Radicals, Kostunica has nothing but scorn for the country's leaders, whom he accuses of "destroying the institutions of state" and subverting the rule of law. Kostunica has ruled out a coalition with the Radicals in any future government and claims he would not share power...
