reporting for us earlier in harare. now iraq a lot of the former bosnian serb army chief accused of leading the massacre of eight thousand muslim men and boys in the small town us revenue has been found guilty of war crimes crimes against humanity and genocide judges at the u.n. tribunal in the hague have sentenced him to life in prison the atrocities that logic has been convicted of took place during the bosnian war in the one nine hundred ninety s. his sentencing caps off years of efforts to bring him to justice. and july nine hundred ninety five stood before the cameras in the un designated safe zone of sugar in it and assured bosnian muslims that no one would come to harm. the shot twenty two years later when he was sentenced to life in prison by the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia for the genocide that so nearly eight thousand muslim boys and men from the typhoon murdered. the conviction

of the former bosnian serb general was met with through a leaf by the victims' relatives. but for those like you know made of it who lost two sons and two brothers it brings little consolation minutes to see about so many since those killed their only brothers they are all my sons they are all mine. they were the same age as my sons. i have no one left not even a neighbor. but it's a son darko said that his father was appeal the ruling. this is not the court this is a. commission. and i must say. that they are trying to criminalize they go and there were serbian people in times of civil war but the chief prosecutor serge dramat said lot of it was no war hero and

rejected accusations that the tribunal had driven a wedge between bosnian serbs and muslims some today weakly to this judgement is a verdict against the serbian people. my office rejects that claim in the strongest terms not just guilt he says he's and he's. others who see this not. he was defending his people. his judgment demonstrates that nothing could be further from the troops. will no spend his life behind bars after being found guilty of ordering the worst atrocity in europe since the holocaust. and joining me now from london for more on this is what a founder and chair person of the u.k. based charity remembering seven it's at thank you so much for joining us this evening we know that the tribunal that it found guilty of war crimes and genocide so what does this mean today for the survivors i mean how are they seeing the

significance of the sentence. well the survivors and the mothers. that i've spoken to put them there is some consolation because this man has been sentence really you know it was the chief architect behind the genocide behind you evilness that was promoted across bosnia herzegovina but certainly this this because those people who perished in the genocide those children those boys they cannot. and you know this is genocide is one of the worst crimes you know. that humanity can experience and this is what happened in our lifetime in europe and that genocide those unspeakable atrocities they were actually captured and a single iconic image that opened the world's eyes to what was happening and we

just want to show it now because it shows an emaciated prisoner held at a serb concentration camp that prisoner managed to escape his torturers here he is at the court in the hague today where he saw radicals being brought to justice. and mr azmi that leads me to my question because your organization that wants to raise awareness of the genocide in bosnia what lessons can be drawn from this tragedy would you say. well we must learn the lessons from certainly so that hatred can lead to genocide and there will have been boring times where we have far right organisation promoting hatred particularly to focus on islam and muslims oh muslim this lifetime not hate it led to the genocide of muslims do we had said never again after the holocaust so we need to teach people through

commemoration through memorials as well as through in schools teach children about the consequences of. the thank you so much for joining us this evening to tell us a little bit more about that important work that you are doing to raise awareness walk me we appreciate it thank you let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world the presidents of russia turkey and iran say that they have agreed to keep working on the peace process in syria russia's vladimir putin and the syrian government is committed to a peace process and free and fair elections earlier this year three countries helped to negotiate a partial truce between syrian forces and the opposition's. palestinian political rivals fatah and hamas have agreed to hold elections by the end of twenty eighteen they will be joined by eleven other factions the last parliamentary elections were held in two thousand and six and were won by hamas sparking a civil war the two sides have been meeting to firm up
