ninety ninety two before many of those things happened also named mr rather than courage and mr slobodan milosevic so we have a massive calendar error here that's taking place in other words something comes from washington basically and then somebody try still carried out later and find an appropriate charge there that as happened on numerous situations already with the tribunal i just want to go back and press you on the tribunal here i mean your view is that it won't be impartial here. each one should be impartial for for a number of reasons. first of all this is the position of pressure aleksey the people who actually try this is the judges the prosecution police officers and so on are not subject to the same rules as the accuse i mean the principle of all civilized countries legal the laws are good the accused and all those who participate in the legal process must be subject to the same laws as the accuse no one is above the law is the statement well here everybody but everybody is above the law other than the accused let's consider for example the bonding of radio television serbia

. >> reporter: that's exactly what happened in the trial of former serbian president slobodan milosevic who was indicted for crimes against humanity committed in kosovo in the late '90s. stouffer recruited patrick bald to document and analyze why ethnic albanian kosovoars were fleeing kosovo at a time nato was bombing serb troops. >> was the migration and mass killing in kosovo the product of nato's bombings? of the albanian guerillas? or was it part of a system atic campaign? it's a critical question of fact which statistics help us answer in a pretty definitive way. that changes history for us. >> reporter: his testimony before an international war crimes tribunal was used by prosecutors to prove the intent of ethnic cleansing. with an international criminal court now investigating possible crimes against humanity committed in libya, the company believes its scientific analysis of data will be in high demand throughout the middle east. >> ifill: you can see more of spencer's interview on our website. >> woodruff: finally tonight, a first-time novelist and a larger-than-life story from

i was a part of the democracy vement, the resistance movement to the dictatorship of slobodan milosevic and my return back home was related to the instigation of democracy in serbia. >> rose: but tell me today what of the... how is that remembered that awful period in the history with the breakup of yugoslavia, the conflict thaok place. what are the vestiges of it? >> i think probably the decade of the 12990s was one of the most tragic decades in the enre history of the ball balkans, which was a long history of of bloody conflicts. the breakup of yugoslavia and the war that cocolored, if you will, that decade, was one of the most decades. ... tragic decades. >> rose: the wounds were so deep it will take decades for them to be... >> it will take decades to heal but i would say that in the last few years gretrides have been made towards reconciliation in the balkans and i think it is it no exaggeration to say that right now relations in the balkans have never been better. >> rose: relations between? >> between thearious now sovereign states of the balkans have not been better since the wa

so you have ludicrous situations as you did in bosnia where slobodan milosevic making serial promises that were broken so quickly that in one case they had to hide under the table they'd signed a peace process on because the serbs had started shelling again within two minutes of the signing of the document. the ink still wet. -- [audio difficulty] i would ask you to think of this, no, this is the human condition. [audio difficulty] you need hate, you need prop propaganda, um, and you can manipulate people because of that. but i would argue it's not enough just to have racial prejudice or hatred of people because they're jews or muslims or tutsis or bosnians. i think you need fear as well, and that's where you get academic masterminds coming in. they provide that extra element that convinces a man that unless he kills his neighbor, that neighbor will kill his family. so really he's just defending himself. i had a horrible experience my first trip to rwanda in 2004. i went to a prison where there were 5,000 people who'd committed genocide, and rwanda's such a poor country that you only

during these negotiations, they were taking, the people in khartoum, were taking the lease from slobodan milosevic who also perfectly understood our attention deficit disorder and the people in khartoum spun out all the negotiations, realizing frankly that our diplomats, although with the best will of the world, want to go home. and unfortunately, so desperate were we to get sudan out of our in basket that we postpone some of the most fundamental decisions including where the border was going to be. and abyei is exactly on the border, and it is disputed because the people who live in abyei have been given a decision on whether or not they are going to be part of the south which is now voted for secession by 98% independents or whether they want to be part of the north. here is the problem. the people that are permanent residents self-identify as black africans of their farmers, however every year, the mystery it tried to our self identified as arabs, they come through and they raise their animals. they consider themselves residents of abyei and they say they should have a vote, and here
