Extract
In periodic trips to the former Yugoslavia during and after the 1990s conflicts accompanying its implosion, I saw how urgently victims of wartime atrocities yearned for justice, investing soaring hopes in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. Across the first dozen years of the Tribunal’s working life, I was in frequent contact with Bosnian and Serbian advocates who sought to bolster its work by, for example, ensuring the ICTY gained custody of those it had indicted. Thus I had ample grounds to believe global efforts to support the Tribunal were in line with the aspirations of survivors and of local citizens who championed their calls for justice. Even so, once the ICTY successfully addressed early, fundamental challenges to its work, it seemed crucially important to take a deeper look at how citizens of the former Yugoslavia were experiencing Hague justice.
I approached Aryeh Neier, then president of the Open Society Institute (OSI), with an idea I hoped OSI would support: researching and reporting on the Tribunal’s impact in Bosnia, where the vast majority of atrocities prosecuted before the ICTY occurred, and Serbia, whose wartime leader plunged the region into calamitous conflict. Aryeh readily agreed, and convened a meeting of leading human rights experts to advise me on the project’s design. Other members of what is now known as the Open Society Foundations (OSF), including Beka Vučo, Laura Silber, Kelly Askin, and Jim Goldston, provided invaluable suggestions and guidance.
