On
February 12, 2002, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia began the trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic
for war crimes committed during the Kosovo conflict in 1999. The trial,
which is expected to last up to two years, is the first in which a
head of state has been indicted while still in power. Charges for
war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia are expected to follow.
In
the coming weeks and months, the Crimes of War Project will feature
articles and analysis by legal experts on the implications of the
trial on international humanitarian law.
The
trial is being broadcast live on the Internet in Holland, Serbia,
and the United States in English, Serbo-Croat and French at http://www.un.org/icty
The
Milosevic trial RealAudio and RealVideo will be archived on the
FreeSerbia Tribunal site http://tribunal.freeserbia.com

a good connection to Internet you should be able to watch this video.

listen.
Windows Streaming Media format is in 32 kbps format; demands on
your
connection are the same as for RealVideo.

follow
soon.
As
I am writing this, Mirenko is still working on Domovina's Tribunal
webpages to reflect all the changes; on the UN's ICTY website all
links
are already in place - http://www.un.org/icty
- and the FreeSerbia website
is also ready for your visit at http://tribunal.freeserbia.com
I would like to thank our sponsors, XS4ALL Internet, the Open Society
Institute (CH), Real Networks and Internews for their generous
donations. Many people helped te set up this project. It would be
impossible to mention them all, but special credits must go to Sjoera
and Nic at XS4ALL in Amsterdam, Stanimir and Jovan at FreeSerbia
in
Belgrade, Frederique, Vincent, Liam, Olga and Gerry in the Hague,
and
last but not least Jonathan, Eileen, Ellen, Andras, Tom and Lorraine
in
the US. Without their support Tribunal Live would not be there tomorrow.
