Karadzic’s arrest - A chance for civilisation to prevail

“Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, individually and in concert with others, planned, instigated, ordered or otherwise aided and abetted in the planning, preparation or execution of unlawful attacks against the civilian population and individual civilians with weapons such as mortars, rockets and artillery... They are criminally responsible for the unlawful confinement, murder, rape, sexual assault, torture, beating, robbery and inhumane treatment of civilians.”

SO READS a very short extract from the 1995 UN war crimes tribunal indictment charging Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, with genocide.

If you have the stomach for it you can see the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia comprehensive and terrifying indictment at un.org/icty/indictment/english/kar-ai000428e.htm.
