"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"
The trial of Slobodan Milosevic represents a singular moment in
modern history. For the first time a former head of state must
answer charges before an International Tribunal for the commission
of war crimes.
Taking as its starting point the existing canon of international
law and conventions governing actions during war, Indictment at the
Hague, represents the most detailed examination of the conduct of
the Serbian authorities and the individual responsibility of senior
members of its leadership for war crimes.
Citing the precedent of the Nuremberg trials, Cigar and Williams
carefully link conscious decisions and specific deeds undertaken by
the Milosevic regime that violated the protections guaranteed to
civilian populations in war. The volume reproduces a collection of
key documents from the Hague Tribunal, U.N. Commissions, and Human
Rights Organizations which appear in print together for the first
time. Indictment at the Hague is essential for all those concerned
with the difficult task of sustaining the Geneva and Hague
Conventions, and those who wish to understand how in the era of
"never again" the crimes of war continue to challenge the
instruments of international law.
