Milosevic “died of natural causes” 15:41 April 05 B92
THE HAGUE -- An independent investigation confirms that Slobodan Milosevic died of natural causes. According to the investigation conducted by the Dutch Government, the former Yugoslav president died of natural health problems and that is was not the result of any kind of “criminal activity.” The Tribunal has also stated that it is conducting an “internal investigation,” which is still ongoing, focusing on the medical treatment which Milosevic was receiving while in custody. The Tribunal stated that the investigation is nearing its end.

The Tribunal, a successful experiment 12:49 April 05 Beta
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Former Hague President Theodore Meron said that the work of the Tribunal has proven to be successful. Meron said that, regardless of the questions raised against the Tribunal’s legitimacy and objectivity, he believes that it has shown to be a successful judicial experiment. He added that he sees no reason to bring the Tribunal’s effectiveness into question following the death of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. “The fact that one of the indictees died while his trial was reaching its end does not call into question the dozens of others in which the international tribunal showed that the international law can be respected objectively and implemented and that those who does not abides by these laws, cannot expect to go unpunished.” Meron said. “The Tribunal took great measures to ensure that the Milosevic trial was fair, to give attention to his medical needs and his desire to represent and defend himself. More than anything, these were the reasons why the trial lasted so long.” Meron said. He added that the number of indictees extradited to The Hague increased by 50 per cent in 2005, and that there are currently 96 indictees in custody. Meron, however, made sure to mention his disappointment in the fact that Bosnian Serb military leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic have yet to be arrested and extradited.

Before there was Iraq II (its own little piece of history), there were the conflicts in the countries of the "ex-Yugoslavia." Now Kosovo is exploding again, and it seems as if all the media and the pundits can do is rehash the old stories while new bodies pile up. Here is a place where we will attempt to give you a sense of the bigger picture.
