KARADZIC: UNGARO (EXPERT), "WORK TO MAKE THE ICC KEEP WORKING AFTER 2010" (2)

"Counts (as many as 11) against the Serbian leader – states Ungaro – range from genocide to extermination, from deportation to crimes against humanity, from the deportation of civilians to the violation of war laws and customs… The judges of the Court, chaired by the Italian Fausto Pocar, will have to review a huge heap of documents and will have to consider Karadžiæ’s possible request to defend himself (as Miloševiæ had done): which would mean a further deferment of the dates. And, considering the timing of the first degree and the appeal, we time will probably and dangerously get close to the deadline of 2010". And if, in any case – goes on Ungaro –, Karadžiæ is eventually tried, what will happen to those who are still on the run? First and foremost, commander Ratko Mladic". According to the expert, "the big powers, if they really want to do justice to the eight thousand victims of Srebrenica, are morally bound to do something in time so that the Court may keep working even after the fateful deadline of 2010".
