Painful lesson on peacekeeping

Article Abstract:

Arresting those guilty of the war crimes committed during the Bosnian war is desperately needed to prevent future war crimes in Kosovo and elsewhere. Foreign leaders have yet to muster the political will to arrest the Bosnian Serb political leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, and both were indicted four years ago for genocide and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The international community must demand that all outstanding arrest warrants for war criminals be enforced.

Hardball discovery.; for drama, the pre-trial in a claim of nicotine-spiked cigarettes could have been scripted for a movie. But these scenes are from real life

Article Abstract:

Tobacco giant Philip Morris's lawsuit against ABC news for its 'Day One' program criticizing tobacco manufacturing processes produced an enormous fight over discovery, eventually ending in settlement. Depositions of journalist Walt Bogdanich were especially vitriolic, and a lawyer was called in simply to mediate them. Rulings from Judge Theodore Markow often favored Philip Morris, especially regarding interviews of former employees, and his permission for seeking out a confidential source sets a disturbing precedent.

A tribunal waiting for work: trial likely soon for only one of 22 indicted for war crimes

Article Abstract:

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia is set to begin its first trial of Dusan Tadic, accused of genocide and rape as well as other war crimes. Tadic was surrendered in Apr 1995 while others, such as Omarska prison camp chief commander Zeljko Meakic, remain at large. The evidence comes largely from the scattered refugees and the court hopes to get more indictments from evidence from those who are tried. The court was authorized in May 1993 and has 90 employees.
