given up any hope for me and my children. when the convoy came, it was like light at the end of a tunnel sign of hope that we would survive and that somehow that things would get better. and that should also be the when seen with the very 1st come, boy you in general movie itself, once in chevrolet, 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 was you put everybody on the spot because you it is all of us. it's all the jobs of the world. we've declared that place to be safe and the un protection clearly was false from its all

and then the homeless came my friends, another boys were running around. i remember the discussion amongst people, most my parents that will how that came if not to protect us, but at least to help us. and it was wrong that later i didn't realize they came here to just observe our attention unfortunately. ah, a troop of un peacekeepers, blue helmets had been assigned to protect separately. they were just a few 100 of them and they weren't well equipped. after 2 years of siege in july

1995 general march launched and offensive against the enclave. the buzz me i tried to fight back, but they were quickly over run by the truth. the un blue helmets put up no resistance. save a fancy so i will have to check for a separate they base the rest the didn't know that to go read just rated to be to be killed. the general murdered that colonel tom cut a man who was commanding the un peacekeepers inscribed in its to organize

a meeting with the representatives of the person in muslims. which is just need to know what the pin is. 5 and the scene which caused to be responsible for all the men of military age, though they should surrender to the balmy. they fled to the forest to precaution.

the father, he's all he's saying to me, it's up to you. you'll have to make a decision to go with me or your mother. ah, send us any notion of me. there was no time to think mister who she said he is, i'll put you. i didn't even have time to take to my boy's company. everyone just started going the numbers the, some of the world leaders were told that women, children and the elderly should go to the un bass to school with after 2 days. and then we were put on the sale of the over the course of 2 days, the said forcibly removed over $30000.00 women children and elderly men to refugee camps in territory controlled by the person in government. there was no

trace of the 8000 men who had tried to escape from snapped in it, so through the forest suddenly disputed. nobody knew what had happened to the men. however, the journalists who had been covering the war since 992, said that a missing man is a dead man. the duty to keep a small team was sent to question the refugees of threat bernita. no, no. pleasure. all the while i was very glad to be there and to get to work more not even about usual. as we arrived the 10 days after the fall of the enclave. and soon people started to arrive, who declared that they had survived. mess execution you so much

the voice at the age of 7013 my father. and i just wanted to say my life we just have arrived in the mass in the lowlands, shelling sausage i just right that they showed this don't learn that under the trees. and in that moment i lost my father. and i just remember i was calling in may and i never,

i never found him that i just remember late the calling and invitation from they were calling gus. surrender to get out. to do, did they don't do some either of us quickly. he was his, us the on a lot better member than the,

the taste and the last, the voice and they get out of this nice little percentage and that's pretty good. i recognize that the trucks are on their own the far from us. i remember that there was a loaded in the last one. ah, i could see lots of people, you know,

5 minutes and about can even many of them looking at us no one today can say that they didn't know the transfer to the location for my i was here fire all the time. and they said that the lead stopped in indigo. so 5 people, america every morning and i know it is grown and then what is in front of me? everything was happening so far. it was a matter of seconds. they opened the fire and i don't remember when i was hit on my stomach. i was

shimmering under her and run on the soldiers saying to other your sword check who has a horse by the should you have one more moment to minister in front of my eyes and then closing my eyes vacant to be killed in my pity. blind and here the fuel is the same. all my all ready met the a few months after this rebel in the semester. in the autumn of 995 international leaders pressured all parties to go to dayton in the united states and sign a peace agreement. the new bosnia would be composed of to economists. entities the federation of bosnia

herzegovina, anther republican syrup, scott on behalf of the bosnian serbs, the peace accords, were signed by their most important ally, the president of serbia. flo button milosevic, which we spend on that. and we speak later now we got the very 1st interview, that metals which gave my impression that was of a friend of mine. he was able to stonewall with a smile. every christian that i put from beginning to study to do with me, it's happening both because it had everything to do with the boasting and said army who had a painful statement paid by the government at belgrade. but most of which played that game cleverly begins with ministration. went along with presidents. you must turn the pages of disagreement into

a real hope for those who have survived this horrible war. after the peace accords and they to lead international coalition was sent to bosnia for the tribunals investigators, it was an opportunity to uncover the crimes of planets. i didn't know much when i was assigned to the shrubbery. niece a team, i knew thousands of muslim men disappeared. after the fall of the enclave and they were fought to have been executed he said, when you talk about a crime scene, you'll usually talking about the place. today we were talking about multiple places, not just one call and go, which we knew had been used as a place to detain people goal of football field that had been used together.

prisoners on the phone, we counted only 10 survivors of these mass executions at some crime scene, and there were none in nashville, me know, but that didn't stop us from finding these kind of things. and this is basically what we found. 11014.5000000 meter shows 25 empty shows of 74 and 62 meter total number of blindfolds 117 i can provide you with a colleague of mine. i went into one hanger and took some blood samples from a wall. so that we could determine whether these numerous traces of blood were from humans or animals. the laboratory analysis concluded that it was human blood whitewashed, and yet something ah, ah,

one of the great challenges that we had was finding where all the bodies were literally were buried. and we knew from survivors that we had, at least for mass gray, is when we examined those graves, there were only $100.00 or $150.00 bodies if that in those graves, the archaeologist told us, it looks like they've been dug up. and people moved on, we received information both from witnesses and from aerial imagery provided by the united states. but looks like little bits of disturbed soil that appear on the earth images. we got our map and drove through the countryside, seeing if we could find these areas. so we're just digging could have been potatoes, and we dug for

a while and that 1st grave. and one of the investigators gets in with this huge pick axis. and he goes into the grave and there's this pump, and this, this, this spewing odor of death that comes out. and that when he pulled the pick up a piece of something from that it was flesh flung in his, in his back cash. it was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, ok, stop, stop up to ro as gets in. and of course there's a corpse. we ended up finding that day, some 7th graders. and that formed the evidence of the case 6 layer. of course you have nightmares, my life revolved around this investigation. it was an obsession. and once you start, you can't storm and you have to continue new area there.

and although there is a human bones, discuss it on the surface and in the surrounding area. isn't it picked up? this is part of our human hand. we knew that general lodge had commanded the forces that did this. and we knew that president carriage was his supreme commander. his title was the supreme commander of the armed forces of the republic, a search scott, so he was lot of his boss. but we didn't know much else. and we had no documents. we were not able to talk to any serb soldiers, nobody, nobody knew me through us or demick, which was a soldier in the bosnian serb army. his unit, they were assigned to execute roughly 1700 people from shrubbery needs. he took

part in that he felt horrible about that and actually went to the u. s. embassy in belgrade and said, i want to admit what i did. i want to be taken to the hague mission. he was very shaken, but came across very sincere michelle the most prevalent throughout them of which would you please rise to me. is there anything you'd like to add on a dozen to morrow? the, your honor, i had to do this. if i refused, i would have been killed together with the victims. when i refused, they told me that you're sorry for them line up with them, and we'll kill you to the show the movie. all right, mr. them of which try to get a hold of yourself. you sit down for a moment. he pled guilty,

small prison term. but for what he did to make sure reverend, it would not be forgotten and would not be seen as something that didn't happen. i think it for the prosecution, it was worse. whereas the low sentence was a blue prove the most important thing. the drudging at them of which brought us was his membership in the 10th sabotaged detachment. because, because 2 tenths sabotage detachment only acted on orders from the highest level of the both me and the balmy. no sound the world. you know, what happened is the thing that the muslim, so disappeared were fighting servers were killed in combat. no expectations for masters. some of the pull going a little one of the only was,

was killed. please give me a low. this is only a message that i need to get as many pas from some 8000 men and boys were killed in strapped in it, sir. your worst atrocities since world war 2. yet those responsible for the massacre was still free. nato was not arresting anyone. they were trying to keep the peace. in fact, heritage and a lot of we're going through nato checkpoints and they were free. all the international leaders could achieve was that out of uncanny teachers withdrawal from political office as of this morning, colorado is no longer president of the republic, a service desk he has relinquished the office and all powers associated there. so

madame bloss, such as temporary acting president, the shifts the new president of the republic, a cisco had been cottages, vice president when she was in power. the war crimes tribunal asked her to arrest cottage and march and send them to the hague me bill. it was time for me. i was the president of the republic. yes, i received a request to hand over my card to get your coverage fully quote parcel a be low. there was so much work to do after the war and i didn't know where they were and that didn't interest me because i was the president. i acted according to the constitution. the constitution forbade. and so i don't think i even replied,

i tore it up and throw it away. mission mission that was that a little boy boss. no, no problem was a charge to the tribunal had a problem too because we had some 70 accused, but no one was being arrested for us or the prosecution needed to find a solution of not nice team the our team was able to determine the whereabouts of one of the accused social i came up with the idea of getting him to walk into track of the hope we managed to win his trust and arranged

a meeting in a un controlled area. and i was, i mean, come on or senate but we made him believe that we would help him sell his house, georgia because he put us, we don't make using vis, excuse me. we had him cross the border where a special unit was waiting to arrest him with me dollar bill or is it was interest or just go. that was a decisive turning point because we proved it was possible to arrest of war criminal. nato now had to react with, so somebody could go up from that moment, nato began to arrest war. criminals from all sides said cro. s and pulse me.

ah bosnia herzegovina was the 1st of the former yugoslav states to collaborate with the tribunal. the handed over full prison guards from a concentration camp. lisa had been detained. i was thinking, they are not going to get me alive. why they want me? there is also another people who also did the same things like i said. so why did i work for them? i didn't recognize discord like to be any. have any authority over me? or will you please stand? how do you plead guilty or not? guilty? not guilty. i never had anybody criticized me for what i have done.

and that was the 1st time that i was face to get the accusers telling me what that had done. lancer is charge as a diabetic perpetrator, with high murders, for instances of torture. and 2 instances of cruel treatment causing great suffering. the most of the violence that's happening in prison in july which was beating and you know we, we need to understand it's not only by me everybody was doing that. but most of the killings is run by me for the simple reason because they know when they gave me order to do something, it will be that me. i have that enormous fear of

letting somebody out. so i was willing to sacrifice everything that i had. so that might come on to say you would plan to s alonzo ordered me to lie down. i did. he opened a bottle and poured something on my leg. i could smell it with petrol switching and then he set fire to my leg. tom issue will not be shiny, it can be either busy would take us to pain and when people what he and he ordered others to drink it. yes, i was one of those who was supposed to drink it. mamma, trying to remember the faces. so those little things from the barrier, i just cannot i can imagine them in

a human form, just blore and everything. i really would like, i really, really would like to that i can see their faces. as long as i don't see them in human form. maybe i don't see it myself same in same way i you had to ask yourself and i think this is a question on everybody's mind. who are the people who committed these crimes? and i decided to go to the court to understand who these people are. first of all, both rooms a small joint very close to the speaker phone. and the main impression is that they indeed look as they were never heard the fly.

is it possible? could it be that i could do such a thing? could my neighbor, my brother, that's war soon. farmer yugoslavia did not start among the so called ordinary people. on the contrary, ordinary people had to be prepared. the very notes knowing that this was psychologically prepared for at least 56 years. and this is ever since may i came into power from the list of the laws of it you are now before this tribunal and your within the jurisdiction of it. ah
