Violence is beginning to become a way of life for the many different people that make up the former Yugoslavia. This one is no different and threatens to cast new doubt over indictments brought against alleged war criminals. No doubt there will be accusations brought about as a result of this conflict, rightly or wrongly, just like the ones being levelled at Milosjevic.
So, is he guilty? If he is then what about the rest of his henchmen, because there most certainly are others - his wife?
In fact, he is the first head of state to be brought in front of this international court. Interestingly, this is a court that is unrecognised by two of the great adversaries of the western world's economic dream machine: China and Russia. What about the other heads of State involved in the war prior to the Dayton Peace Agreement - are they suddenly exempt?
The very fact Milosjevic refuses to recognise the court, instead he ridicules it, displays an arrogance probably illustrative of the regime that saw many innocent lives lost, and countless others without friends and family. Despite the misgivings of the court, this man has rightly been brought to justice. However, just how that justice should unfold, and in which setting, remains open to debate.
