with the new business beyond on youtube. oh, me. in 1993, the united nations established an international crime tribunal for the former yugoslavia, the i c t y and the have for the 1st time in history will crimes committed on all sides of a conflict were brought to trial has international justice prevailed. can this tribunal be a model for the future? there was never an expectation that presidents and leaders would be arrested. this idea will not give the most power for

a demonstration that no one is beyond the reach of international chest. you have the proper traits right there, and they have to sit there and ask, listen, become get up and shoot you because you're speaking about what they've done was the candidate, how do you plead, guilty, or not guilty times to, to this institution is a farce that they need not a trace of justice need to do we miss them not to be removed from the courtroom. sometimes i find myself wondering what justice we were able to serve in for me because we served international justice. but did we do the right thing? i

use you do reach out for will for kaylee additional the last across from so for my issue is 15 years in prison. so you my mouse, sit down, it took me a long time to find myself, but i still didn't figure out completely why the biggest question, why? why did i do what i have done, though, almost everything that i look back my past,

it's always why. and it's where it is always to find the answers for everything. the syringe for many people. and i told them that i fun during war and i really did spend friends together drink together. we had girls together. we try, you know, basically everything that young man and want to have the, i had not thinking what you know, bad things can happen. ah . the disintegration of yugoslavia in 1991 led to a series of conflicts europe's deadliest since world war 2 more

than one 130000 people died at least 3000000 were displaced or became refugees. it was in bosnia herzegovina that most of the war crimes were committed. part of the federal republic of yugoslavia, bosnia was home to 3 if mister teeth, the largest group with both the ax, bosnian muslims, followed by the serbs and croats. in 1992, the country became independent, but the bosnian serbs did not want to live in a muslim dominated country and formed their own state. they elected a national leader rather than cottage as president and took up arms against the post near government. the troops were commanded by a former general of the yugoslav, army komatt. each. the, the 3rd troops, whiskey,

to control of much of bosnia was next and crow that were expelled from the conquered areas or killed in the media, the term ethnic cleansing seemed to comb. now in any war, civilians are possible military call collateral damage. sure civilians die that they're not the main target. but in bosnia they were the main topic. the target was to drive those who are not said out of areas which the says wanted to control in me. now she mentioned to was i sent into us and then i was 1st in san diego, i tripped. if i look back on it now, the sort of a fist as if she were living in a dream, the because

controlled the monkeys overlooking somebody a but they could snipe down the streets. i knew immediately, so people running. nobody wants everybody right? crossing the menu, my colleagues killed, but i think the world to, to see, and the germans did their job showing what was going on there. and then it's up to others to be a couple of the governments of europe. and the government of the united states sat back essentially took the decision. we are not going to intervene. and this will, these bars and political talks have led nowhere and words until the western world

proves that has a true maintenance. and this will be true for to jenna the well then if he's your son you who did everyone used to watch the daily assault on, sorry, eva on tv show. it had become a sort of routine validated. the true shock came with images of the concentration camp. michelle need of a may see a 2 people behind barbed wire. you know, it was like seeing images of world war 2, but in color and about an hour and a half flight for paris. you know, i mean, you publish a situation that cooled out for justice versus the we've seen those images of their bells on the hall and the other concentration camps when they were liberated in 1945. that had an impact, a cry of, we can't be seen to be doing nothing. and then the un came up with the idea of we

should start a war crimes tribunal and to be done until this and international tribunal will prosecute war crimes committed in the former yugoslavia and historic decision by the un security council. yesterday the 1st such tribunals since the nuremberg trials today, we begin to cleanse the hatred that has torn apart the former yugoslavia. a few months ago i said this will be no victor's tribunal. the only victor that will prevail in this endeavor is the truth. we must now move without delay to the next steps, particularly the appointment of the prosecutor and the selection of judges. finally, of this, we are certain the tribunal must succeed for the sake of the victims and for the credibility of international law in this new era. thank you very much, was present until the end of the latter part of the 900 century. the

concept preventing was in any other way than by taking the spoils victory. never even social you had the beginnings of international justice within new trials in perfect because they only looked at one side of the conflict, but nevertheless, they were very efficient in bringing people to just as quickly decisively pictorially, go and ask your friends, show them a picture of glaring, sitting in the dock, 90 percent, what it is and then it stopped because of the cold war america and viet now the what was happening with the agent orange county bombing. they will, will, crowns. he has america being brought down by the

utah tribunal has completely changed the way people think. because now if you show a conflict, they're likely to say will send him for trial because there's an expectation that bad people doing bad things in horrible conflicts get tried. but that's only 25 years ago. in 1993, the hague became homeless and new tribunal judges. investigators and prosecutors were recruited from across the world to bring accused war criminals from the former yugoslavia to trial. he had massive material from the form you could fabia and material was coming in all the time. so we had to figure out what we had. and when you think you want to go well and help stop a conflict and somebody saying, organize your papers, set up your computer files. it's a hard thing to understand. the

word people from the united states and from great britain and italy all over the world. and the, the atmosphere among those folks was it was high energy and a certain amount of excitement though excitement was a bit of a smile because no one thought we would be able to do anything. the meanwhile, the war continued in both tro, s and bosnia x had also formed their own armies. the 3 of necessities were now fighting each other and civilians on all sides became victims.

during the war i think it was inconceivable to any of the major actors there. but any one of the rest of the world said any of those people, whatever be hell, i took to both rather cottages and manage and mention the fact that they were going to start an international war crimes tribunal for use it. and did they both fear that they would be made defendants that want to loop please, but did not take the serious lodge to know what i'm doing is i'm defending my own people that will stand up in a court of law in that position. but it's, you know, i've done that in the gap in the bosnian country side, the ethnic cleansing continued. many bosnia ex,

removed from the villagers, found refuge in several in it's a small enclaves, surrounded by serb troops. some 40000 people gather their isolated from the rest of the world died on sadness, abuse of the little i did that day. i realized where i brought my children into a kind of vicious circle where we had no way out. we have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, name of the stay, it was hopeless. such in 1993, a un contingent was 77. it's to bring humanitarian aid to the civilian population. the aid it could be equally said in solution with a convoy arrived and said, benita sleeves me,

the tears were falling like rain from my eyes lost. somebody had remembered that we existed after here in that situation that i have given up any hope for me and my children. when the convoy came, it was like light at the end of a tunnel for sign of hope that we would survive and that somehow things would get better. and that so basically the once again with a very fast convoy of the un general movie self. once it's chevron, to see the situation, they surrounded mo, letting leave. and then he declared that he was going to be a safe age. don't know the news you used it was. you put everybody on the spot because you and there's all of us. it's all the job,

so the work we've declared that place tends to be safe and the un protection clearly was false from.
