he was dubbed the butcher of bosnia and now seventy four

year old but killed roddick just set to spend his final days behind bars. a u. n. court in the hague found him guilty of orchestrating genocide and crimes against humanity. between nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety five during the bosnian war. based on the foregoing. the chamber found accused and sent to eliminate to brushing boston muslims in srebrenica. by killing the man them boys. and forcibly removing to women young children and some of the men. through the commission of the crimes of persecution. murder. extermination. and did in your main act of forcible transfer. before the verdict was announunced matt itches lawr attempted t tstore the prococeedings whenn he clcld his client's blood pressure was too high. ratko mladic was expelled from the courtroom after an outburst against the judge. and what she's great delivered on a screen. survivors of the srebrenica

massacre say they're relieved justice has been served. i think i'm fat but i feel very happy to have justice and truth twenty two years on. i salute the card of the hate as a mother as a system like a wife. i salute thehe court in the hague. the sentence of life in prison has been hailed as a victory for justice. the un human rights chief called the former army commander who spent sixteen years in hiding the epitome of evil. the verdict also demonstrates to perpetrators that they cannot escape war crimes no matter how powerful they are. well how long it takes. want to talk more about that china being on joinedd by andy i'd in ages and he is a war crimes expert at the university of edinburgh thank you for being with us on france24 tonight. yeah festival of the a lot of people will be wandering these these crimes happened and. twenty two years ago up why did it take so long former adage that we know the wors. european war criminals since

the nazis to be brought to justice. well i mean i think part of that has to be. defend a manage to evade capture for. sixteen of those twenty two years. and in terms of his invasion of capture you have to look at those support structures that were behind anand. particularly in the eararlr periods. of both within bosnia and with. sarah. so as the political situation changed arm his support structures dwindled and it became. possible to our to capture. a lot of people are upset had that he was convicted army on ten out of the eleven. charges of of war crimes and and genocide and that do you think that's important. i think it's it's it's tremendously important to a lot of people i think alone it was largely predictable that the the same occurred when broadband karadzich wa.

ouour was convicted last yer that the the the case arm includuded genocide and mumunicipals beyond srerebr. arm and in both cases but for slightly different reasons of the judges arm. decided finally that it eight it didn't meet the criteria for genocide which show in the legal criteria for genocide are very very. precise and very specific i'm probably differ quite a loss from. eitherr lazy or next artice understandingsgs of. of genocide as well but i think a lot people place a lot of value in the word genocide and when they're told that what happened to them what happened in their communities. of wasn't genocide it was a crime against humanity it was persecution is extermination somehow they feel that their their victimization isn't being recognized. what is this is a legal difference and if you would mind explaining that to asa between genocide and crimes a crime against humanity? thereby is of the very serious crimes. they are they are seventeen crimes against humanity take

place in the context called systematic attacks are particularly against civilian populations. i'm and there are very serious the cannonball mass murderers. we've seen examples in the in the summer at the judgment that was given today all arm over two hundred man shot in a detention camp man suffocated. are in the back of laurie's arm to. genocide requires a number of things first of all it has to be directed at a particular type of group a protected group. arm and secondly there has to be a specific intent to destroy anchor. all moon and those doesn't you can of key elements of it and and i can be achieved jerome of acts that are specifieied in the genocide convention. welcome but thirdly beyond that the way the law has developed involves are a kind of constant of threshold. and. indicted carriages case rome the municipalities and so i struck anita. the judges decided that it the

entertainment controls and in this case be accepted in terms of some of the actors involved but they didn't accept that the the constant structural to been reached a substantial part of the protected group. of had been targeted for destruction that and i just find it why did not it should i get the toughest sentence out whereas i have for example that the the politician the nationalist leader radovan. karadzich i'm gonna slightly less the time whatat were te differences that. well i think that the named. friends are what comes down to mitigation. out what was put in frfront of the judges to arm to suggest to them why they might lessen the senentence armm carrie jet y you houndt the end of the war. voluntarily don't't voluntarily withdrawn from politics and it would seem that that was something that w whatevr he is s a rationalale was ma contribution to peace. arm and made a contribution to the possibility for reconciliation aren't there was nothing equivalent for luggage.

and so a number of other people that that had being. prosecuted for involvement over srebrenica and cluding other membersrs of ththe militaryy hadad alreay been convicted of genocide and given a life sentence. so in terms of. what the factors where the main difference was karadzich wallace you could you could rely on his withdrawal fromm polititics is being? some ab post election that help preserve peace in bosnia of after nineteen ninety five. and the idea engines and thank you very much indeed. guy walk. what's on the knees now and lebanon's prime minister is back in beirut tonight's he says he's putting his resignation on hold saad hariri said his country into crisis earlier this month when he announced. from saudi arabia that he was stepping down stuff to stopping off in paris cairo and cypress on his way home. and after holding talks with lebanon's president he now says he'll be staying in the role for now anyway laura bassett show has this repor.

putting lebanon's interests first. in a surprise reversal saad hariri said he had agreed to temporarily ststay on as the country's prime minister. but i don't priti own. it's the trial today i discussed my resignation with the president. off the republic them and now that i libya who wants me to wait before submitting it. then we had to put it on hold because. in order to allow for more consultations into the reasons behind it. what has really act you had csco? the commenents came as her e returned to lebanon for the first time since he unexpectedly said he would step down earlier this mont. the embattled prime minister attended independence day celebrations in beirut early on wednesday. and could be seen standing next to me shallow in the country's christian presidents and shiite parliament speaker nabih berri. hariri's mysterious resignation from maria had sparked a political and diplomatic crisis and fueled

speculations that saudi arabia had o ohestrated d te momove. at the u. re that took on increaeasi importance as hariri continue to delay his return. responding to an invitation by emmanuel michael the lebanese prime minister flew to paris over the weekend. and also made stops in egypt in cyprus before landing in beirut on tuesday. his arrival was celebrated in lebanon where he retains the support of a majority of the population. hariri had already said he would stay on as prime ministerer if a deal could e struck with iran backed hezbollah to keep lebanon out of regional conflicts. his latest announcement comes as another sign that the crisis has begun to de escalate in the tiny middle eastern country. most of all it's gonna t. they reach our correspondents as in flight. is that and added today and i was as we had their and lebanon's at independence day celebrations the prime minister's back but can lebanese people. and be confident that the prime minister will be around for

the foreseeable future. well so this point so i don't think anybody can really say because. at he has only postpones his resignation in athens it. and so. he could retract its about that either. relies on such and. i conditions matt said the most potent which and what one puts his. referred to. i of many occasions it is lebanon's disassociation policy. and that if everybody here what's what hits that's basically make a commitment not to get involved in any foreign conflicts. at particularly the complete next door in that syria way is bowlers obviously. already have them both in has been two years. but that could change his mind. and so for the momomt it's a sony a o of b breast bowes f you like it of some. two weekek at. but it is widely being on the set as a an opportunity.

so hurry to reconsider his. his decision especially if his conditions i i'm. and it is big described by some as a victory for iran and it says. heads marla allies and a blow to saudi arabia and saudi arabia of course. has been bred for orchestrating the whole thing. yeah a lot of people here believe that such a group was held against his will and saudi arabia. bad that's even went as high as the as the presidential. level and michelle i'm having set. publicly that's itit for the saidid that sir agreed was bebeing detained that. at so and and a number of ways this could backfire ads. for that the saudis even though her very has repeatedly denied that say he was being held against his will. none the less when you look at this and that from the outside it it does seem as if france. or some other rescued hariri from riyadh in those international. out for a of

voices calling for at. national leaders to be respected the which didn't seem like much of a. yeah no problem locust tree of references. that's it roots position and. saudi arabia. so on the one hand yes it does look like this is a so backfired so the so ththe saudis on the other hand you could take the view ththat what they wouldd this is wht they're playing for the first. place at the forces that have. questioning of the political status quo here and particularly has bowes roland. i ten thank you very much indeed and implies that reporting from a rachel fle. at more on iran's role in all of this now the iranian ambassador to france has been defending. their out of his country and city lebanese a proxy hezbollah in the region speaking to france24 rafael khan eararlr apple gas and duffy said that if it wasn't for hezbollah which is. considered a terrorist organization by the west the islamic state group would have become much more powerful take a listen to this. this will allow the lead ball in lebanon of hezbollah
