. >> do you regard the trial other serbian officials in the hague as a violation in of national sovereignty? >> i believe the trial in yugoslavia was a mistake, because ultimately, when you have a situation like the breakup of the former yugoslavia, where heinous abuse of human rights and war crimes were committed, at the society where those crimes were committed ultimately has to deal with it. if it can make a decision, whether it is in bosnia or serbia itself, whether to bring criminal indictments against the people who perpetrated the crimes, or to do something else like self africa did when it created the truth and reconciliation commission to deal with the aftermath of apartheid. but when you take responsibility for dealing with these terrible acts, and remove them from the societies in the question, you are creating the possibility for the abuses to occur again. and you're creating the potential for a feeling of victimization. i think the idea that people are not mature enough to deal with the problems that their officials created is a mistake. it is a very difficult question, but i d

do you regard the trial of serving officials in the hague as derogation of national sovereignty? the international criminal tribunal on yugoslavia was a mistake, because i think ultimately when you have a situation like the break of of the former yugoslavia where heinous abuses of human rights and war crimes were committed, a society where those crimes were committed all to molly has to deal with it, ultimately has to come to terms with. and they can make a decision whether it is in boston or serbia itself, whether to bring criminal indictments against the people who perpetrated the crimes, or to do something else like south africa did with the creation of the truth and reconciliation commission to deal with the aftermath of apartheid. but when you take responsibility for dealing with these terrible acts and remove them from the societies in question, you are creating the possibility for the abuses to occur again. and you are creating the potential for a sense of victimization. so i think that the idea that people are not mature enough to deal with the problems that their officia
