Description
Book SynopsisTaking as its starting point the existing canon of international law and conventions governing actions during war, this title represents examination of the conduct of the Serbian authorities and the individual responsibility of senior members of its leadership for war crimes.
Trade Review""Combining legal expertise with the scrupulous analysis of a mass of evidence, Cigar and Williams were the first to make a compelling case for the indictment of Slobodan Milosevic as a war criminal. I believe this work is one of the most important public ions to have appeared in the aftermath of the Bosnian war. It lays down a challenge to the international community that must not go unanswered." -- Noel Malcolm,author of Bosnia: A Short History
