Nearly 15 years after the massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica, one of the campaign’s alleged chief architects is on trial in The Hague. Radovan Karadzic, leader of the Serb Republic, faces 11 war crimes charges stemming from the Bosnian War of the early and mid 1990s. The trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia began last week but quickly stalled when Karadzic refused to enter the courtroom.
This episode of Law in 10 features Associate Dean William Aceves, a renowned expert on issues related to human rights and international law, discussing the Karadzic case and the purpose and success of international tribunals in holding war criminals accountable.
