The war that broke out in the former Yugoslavia at the end of the twentieth century unleashed unspeakable acts of violence committed against defenseless civilians, including a grizzly mass murder at an Ov?ara pig farm in 1991. An international tribunal was set up to try the perpetrators of crimes such as this, and one of the accused was Slavko Dokmanovi?, who at the time was the mayor of a local town. Vladimír Dzuro, a criminal detective from Prague, was one of the investigators charged with discovering what happened on that horrific night at Ov?ara. The story Dzuro presents here, drawn from his daily notes, is devastating. It was a time of brutal torture, random killings, and the disappear...

This unique two-volume work seeks for the first time to address in a comprehensive fashion both "substantive" and "procedural" aspects of international criminal law as applied by international and national courts. Substantive topics include individual criminal responsibility, genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against UN and associated personnel, core crimes and defenses, while procedural aspects include the right of suspects and accused, the protection of victims and witnesses, and pre-trial, trial and appeal procedures and practices.

Unikátní svědectví českého kriminalisty Vladimíra Dzura, který byl dlouhá léta jediným českým vyšetřovatelem pracujícím u Mezinárodního trestního tribunálu pro bývalou Jugoslávii v Haagu. Jeho vyprávění o operacích, které vedly k zatčení prvního válečného zločince v bývalé Jugoslávii, a rovněž tak o vyšetřování a následném souzení celé řady válečných zločinců, si místy nezadá s opravdovým thrillerem. Jeho rozhodnost, houževnatost a vysoká profesionalita u akcí, při nichž měly být dopadeny osoby, mající na svědomí zavraždění mnoha nevinných civilních obyvatel na území Chorvatska, Srbska a Bosny a Hercegoviny, často rozhodovaly o životě a smrti mnoha dalších lidí, například stovek zaměstnanců OSN. Čtení je to strhující, jde o záznam očitého svědka následků válečného běsnění na Balkáně, které celý svět sledoval s hrůzou a s jehož stopami se setkáváme dodnes. Jde o napínavé líčení práce vyšetřovatelů tribunálu, které tu z pera českého autora ještě nebylo!

The evidential role of matter—when media records trace evidence of violence—explored through a series of cases drawn from Kosovo, Japan, Vietnam, and elsewhere. In this book, Susan Schuppli introduces a new operative concept: material witness, an exploration of the evidential role of matter as both registering external events and exposing the practices and procedures that enable matter to bear witness. Organized in the format of a trial, Material Witness moves through a series of cases that provide insight into the ways in which materials become contested agents of dispute around which stake holders gather. These cases include an extraordinary videotape documenting the massacre at Izbica...
In recent years, justice-related and human rights issues have figured more and more prominently on the international political agenda. This expansion of the justice space is a product of a growing demand for accountability in world politics. Whether the issue is addressing heinous crimes such as genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in situations of armed conflict, confronting the inability or reluctance of governments to protect their own populations, or responding to the challenges posed by transnational terrorism; the international community has witnessed the proliferation of institutions and mechanisms, as well as the dynamic interplay between domestic and international proces...
