Indictment at the Hague: The Milosevic Regime and Crimes of the Balkan Wars

Paul Williams, Norman Cigar, Ivo Banac. New York University Press, $50 (340pp) ISBN 978-0-8147-1626-7

In Indictment at The Hague: The Milosevic Regime and Crimes of the Balkan Wars, Norman Cigar (Genocide in Bosnia), who teaches at the U.S. Marine Corps Command and Staff College, and law professor Paul Williams (American University) join forces to examine the evidence for the former Serbian president's responsibility for crimes against humanity, as well as the culpability of his associates. They draw on documents from U.N. commissions and the Hague Tribunal (there are over 150 pages of reproduced reports, charges and letters) as well as a strong understanding of international law and precedents set by the Nuremberg trials.
