Postcards from the Grave
& Quot;In May 1992, while Serb nationalist forces 'cleansed' the towns and villages of the Drina valley in eastern Bosnia of their formerly majority Muslim population - as part of Slobodan Milosevic's criminal attempt to carve an expanded Serbia from the successor states of the former Yugoslav federation - thousands of fleeing, desperate people converged on the small town of Srebrenica in search of refuge." "For many of them this would prove to be a fatal decision. Serb forces besieged the town for three years, undeterred even when it was proclaimed a 'UN Safe Area'. As more and more refugees fled to Srebrenica from the surrounding villages, conditions there became unbearable: near-starvatio...

Srebrenica MCMXCV
In July 1995 more than 8,000 people were murdered in Srebrenica. It was the worst crime committed on European soil since World War II. Such a tragedy must not be forgotten: this much we owe to those innocent victims and to future generations. This book preserves the memory of that event, and the story it tells serves as a warning.
Een landkaart van het verdwijnen
De verschijning van Emir Suljagić' Briefkaarten uit het graf, een van de eerste ooggetuigenverslagen van de genocide in Srebrenica, was in 2006 een gebeurtenis van formaat. De vertaalrechten van dat beklemmende en indrukwekkende document werden destijds wereldwijd verkocht. Suljagić, inmiddels directeur van het Srebrenica Memorial Center, heeft een gezin gesticht en leidt - voor zover mogelijk voor iemand met een dergelijke geschiedenis - een stabiel leven. In dit nieuwe boek, Een landkaart van het verdwijnen, schrijft Suljagić over zijn terugkeer naar Srebrenica, waar hij zijn ouderlijk huis weer betrokken heeft, over het leven na de genocide en over de gevaren van een herhaling.

Twilight of Impunity
An eyewitness account of the first major international war-crimes tribunal since the Nuremberg trials, Twilight of Impunity is a gripping guide to the prosecution of Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The historic trial of the “Butcher of the Balkans” began in 2002 and ended abruptly with Milosevic’s death in 2006. Judith Armatta, a lawyer who spent three years in the former Yugoslavia during Milosevic’s reign, had a front-row seat at the trial. In Twilight of Impunity she brings the dramatic proceedings to life, explains complex legal issues, and assesses the trial’s implications for victims of the conflicts in the Balkans during the 1990s an...
Voices from Srebrenica
In the hills of eastern Bosnia sits the small town of Srebrenica--once known for silver mines and health spas, now infamous for the genocide that occurred there during the Bosnian War. In July 1995, when the town fell to Serbian forces, 12,000 Muslim men and boys fled through the woods, seeking safe territory. Hunted for six days, more than 8000 were captured, killed at execution sites and later buried in mass graves. With harrowing personal narratives by survivors, this book provides eyewitness accounts of the Bosnian genocide, revealing stories of individual trauma, loss and resilience.
Some Kind of Justice
Through an in-depth case study, Some Kind of Justice offers fresh insights about two questions now the subject of robust debate: What goals can we plausibly assign to international criminal tribunals? What factors determine the impact of distant courts on societies that have seen vicious violence? The book offers a timely and original account of how an international war crimes tribunal affects local communities and the factors that shape its changing impact over time. It explores the influence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), launched in 1993 by the UN Security Council at the height of ethnic conflict accompanying the breakup of Yugoslavia, in two countries directly affected by its work. One, Bosnia-Herzegovina, experienced soaring levels of ethnic violence, culminating in the 1995 genocide in Srebrenica. The wartime government of the other country, Serbia, plunged the region into conflict. Operating until the end of 2017, the ICTY is the longest-running war crimes tribunal in history. Its record thus offers an incomparably rich case study of how a Nuremberg-inspired tribunal influences societies emerging from ruinous violence. Book jacket.
