Person: Mladic Ratko Archives

During testimony by Dutch officer Pieter Boering, prosecutors at the trial of Ratko Mladic again showed footage in which the Bosian Serb commander, on seizing Srebrenica in July 1995, told Muslim captives they could survive or perish.

Most of the hearing in the case of Ratko Mladic held at The Hague was closed to public, because a Prosecution witness, whose identity was protected, testified behind closed doors.

Testifying at Ratko Mladics trial, former Chief Hague Prosecution Investigator Jean-Rene Ruez describes the discovery of several locations at which, according to the indictment and previous International Tribunals verdicts, Serb forces shot thousands of captured Muslims from Srebrenica in July 1995.

Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic launched a tirade at the judge after he was ejected from his Hague trial for calling a witness who survived the Srebrenica massacres a liar.

Hague Tribunal prosecutors plans to present evidence about the Srebrenica genocide were disrupted when doctors ordered Mladic to rest after a minor operation.

The trial of Ratko Mladic, who is charged with genocide and other crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has not continued for a second day running because he was not able to appear in court due to illness.

The Hague Tribunal has wholly or partly paid for the defence of most of the suspects tried for wartime violations, but cannot reveal the amount of money actually spent.

On Wednesday, March 27 the Hague Tribunal is due to pronounce a verdict against Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin, who are charged with persecutions and other crimes against the non-Serb population.

The impact of Yugoslav general Momcilo Perisics acquittal illustrates the insurmountable distance between the Hague Tribunal and people in the Balkans, who must take responsibility for dealing with their past.

As the trial of Ratko Mladic continues, The Hague Prosecution presents maps on which the Republika Srpska Army, VRS Command planned an offensive on Srebrenica in July 1995.
