Fifteen years after the Srebrenica genocide, this event examines the impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and marks the launch of That Someone Guilty Be Punished, a report exploring victims' views on the ICTY in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The report was written by Professor Diane F. Orentlicher before she began her current post as deputy ambassador for war crimes issues in the U.S. Department of State. It follows up on her 2008 report, Shrinking the Space for Denial: The Impact of ICTY in Serbia.
The launch event will involve a panel discussion with time for questions from the audience. A light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
The Open Society Justice Initiative and the International Center for Transitional Justice are cosponsors of this event.
