In 1993, the United Nations established two ad hoc international tribunals to try those responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Ten years later, the International Criminal Court began its operations and is developing prosecutions in its first two cases (Congo and Uganda). Meanwhile, national and hybrid war crimes tribunals have been established in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, East Timor, Indonesia, Iraq, and Cambodia.Thousands of people have given testimony before these courts. Most have witnessed war crimes, including mass killings, torture, rape, inhumane imprisonment, forced expulsion, and the destruction of homes and villages. For many, testifying in a war crimes trial requires great courage, especially as they are well aware that war criminals still walk the streets of their villages and towns. Yet despite these risks, little attention has been paid to the fate of witnesses of mass atrocity. Nor do we know much about their experiences testifying before an international tribunal or the effect of such testimony on their return to their postwar communities. The first study of victims and witnesses who have testified before an international war crimes tribunal, The Witnesses examines the opinions and attitudes of eighty-seven individuals-Bosnians, Muslims, Serbs, and Croats-who have appeared before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. 606 $aLAW$2bisac 606 $aWitnesses$2bisac 606 $aWar crime trials$xPsychological aspects$zThe Hague$zNetherlands 606 $aWitnesses$xAtrocities$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aEvidence, Criminal 606 $aYugoslav War, 1991-1995 606 $aInternational Law$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aInternational Law - General$2HILCC 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 615 7$aLAW 615 7$aWitnesses 615 0$aWar crime trials$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aWitnesses$xAtrocities 615 0$aEvidence, Criminal 615 0$aYugoslav War, 1991-1995 615 7$aInternational Law 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aInternational Law - General 676 $a341.6/9/0268 700 $aStover$b Eric, $0598307 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781887303321 996 $aThe Witnesses$93852606 997 $aUNINA
