This book provides the most comprehensive and scientific assessment
to date of what it means to appear before war crimes tribunals.
This ground-breaking analysis, conducted with the cooperation of
the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) Victims and Witnesses Section, examines the positive and
negative impact that testifying has on those who bear witness to
the horrors of war by shedding new light on the process. While most
witnesses have positive feelings and believe they contributed to
international justice, there is a small but critical segment of
witnesses whose security, health, and well-being are adversely
affected after testifying. The witness experience is examined
holistically, including witness' perceptions of their physical and
psychological well-being. Because identity (gender and ethnicity)
and war trauma were central to the ICTY's mandate and the conflicts
in the former Yugoslavia, the research explores in-depth how they
have impacted the most critical stakeholders of any transitional
justice mechanism: the witnesses.
