Bullet holes, bloodstains and brain matter marked the walls of an empty barn, a crime scene processed to document the worst crime in Europe since the Second World War: the deliberate killings of more than 7,000 men and boys from the Bosnian town of Srebrenica.
  • This week, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, set up to prosecute those responsible for this and other war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Yugoslav wars officially closes.
  • Though it leaves a mixed record, the Tribunal set an international template for using victims' own testimony against those responsible for their anguish.
  • When Bosnian Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic stood trial in 2001, HRW researcher Fred Abrahams was there toconfront him and provide evidence that linked his Serb forces to horrific crimes.
  • The investigators and journalists whose research helped create the Tribunal now look back at those brutal years and the elusive search for justice for the worst crimes.
