International Court Hearing Begins On Genocide Charges Against Serbia
The International Court of Justice heard arguments Monday by Bosnia accusing Serbia of genocide. This is the first time that a state, rather than individuals, has faced trial for humanity's worst crime. The Canadian Press reports that the hearings come 13 years after Bosnia filed the lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro - the successor to Yugoslavia - charging it with a premeditated attempt to destroy Bosnia's Muslim population.
