Croatia is headed toward another war. The Balkans - again - will explode with violence. It is only a matter of time. And the so- called "international community" has been pivotal in stoking the flames of ethnic conflict. Recently, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) based in The Hague, Netherlands, sentenced Croatian Gen. Ante Gotovina to 24 years in prison. The ICTY's ruling rightly has sparked angry protests across Croatia.
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb wartime commander, was captured last week. For 16 years, he had been a fugitive from justice. Gen. Mladic was wanted for genocide and crimes against humanity. His arrest in Lazarevo, a small town north of Belgrade, Serbia's capital, is supposed to bring closure to the Balkan wars of the 1990s. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it won't. Gen. Mladic will be sent to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. There he will stand in the dock alongside his one-time ally, former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic. Gen. Mladic's arrest paves the way for Serbia to join the European Union. Brussels insisted that the capture of Gen. Mladic was the price Belgrade had to pay to attain EU candidate status. Some Serbs -...
The 18th Annual Human Rights Watch International Film Festival June: 15 through 28 Walter Reade Theater Fest takes on global warming, sprawl, and as if war weren't enough, AIDS in Iraq BY NATHAN LEE The 2007 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival unearths hope and horror from the International Criminal Tribunal at The Hague, Israeli prisons, Eastern Congo, the slums of Guatemala, the racist South, Pinochet's Chile, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Darfur, Belarus, Afghanistan, and (surprise, surprise) Iraq. The Unforeseen conflates the abstract and the concrete as it moves from little things (rockformations, pools of water, personal anecdotes) to the big picture (topographic maps, helicopter views, political processes), scanning the terrain with X-ray vision re...

Europe's most notorious war-crimes fugitive has finally been captured. Radovan Karadzic, the former leader of Bosnia's Serbs, is in a Belgrade jail. He will be extradited to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague to face trial for crimes against humanity. His arrest on Monday by Serbian security services was akin to a scene from a Robert Ludlum spy thriller. Mr. Karadzic was on the run for more than 10 years. He hid in plain sight in Belgrade by sporting a long, flowing white beard and thick glasses. He posed as a doctor practicing alternative medicine.

(The United States refused to co-sponsor this slippery resolution, but did sign it.) Nowhere in the resolution is there a mention of insisting that Sudan disarm its horrifying Janjaweed militia, responsible for many of the 450,000 deaths of black Africans in Darfur (and now Chad)-as well as an untold number of gang rapes of Darfur women. In none of the American coverage of this UN Security Council action-which Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calls "historic and unprecedented"-have I seen mentioned what even Agence France Press notes is missing from the resolution: "It does not authorize foreign troops to pursue alleged war criminals sought by the International Criminal Court-an omission that drew a sharp warning from the tribunal based in the Hague.
A Serbian immigrant who has been living in Greenfield since 2004 has been charged with immigration fraud after his name surfaced in connection with the massacre of some 7,500 Muslim men and boys in the Balkan city of Srebrenica in 1995. Nedjo Ikonic, 40, has not been charged with war crimes. But his name is listed on documents used by prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Milwaukee. He is charged with lying about the extent of his military service when he entered the United States as a refugee.
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Sudanese hard-liners vowed Friday to defy a U.N. Security Council resolution referring Darfur war crimes suspects to the International Criminal Court, saying it was unfair for Sudanese suspects to face The Hague tribunal when Americans are exempt. Sudan opposes sending any of its citizens accused of committing war crimes during the two-year conflict in the country's west to a foreign court, saying Sudan's judicial system would take charge of any such prosecutions.
President Barack Obama has made no secret of his love affair with international organizations and we-are-the-world handholding. Yet he has not been equally vocal in the defense of America - especially in instances when multinational bodies might transgress the nation's sovereignty and work against our self-interest. These issues are now once again in the spotlight as the new administration provides a wholehearted endorsement of the world's first permanent tribunal, the International Criminal Court in The Hague. While the court might be able to do much good in bringing to justice some of the world's most notorious human-rights abusers, American support for the tribunal's activities must be counterbalanced with a prudent regard for our unique needs as the world's preeminent power and defe...
