Prosecutor v. Kunarac et. al

International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
Case No. IT-96-23 & 23-1 (2001)

Facts

During an armed conflict, Bosnian Serb forces gathered all the Muslims in a town, separating the Muslim men from the women and children. The men were killed or sent elsewhere. The women and children were kept at central locations in the town. The women and children as young as 12 were enslaved by Serbian soldiers for months and subjected to repeated and often sadistic sexual violence. Dragoljub Kunarac, Radomir Kovač, and Zoran Vuković (defendants) were Serbian soldiers with positions of authority in the area. All three men personally participated in sexual violence against numerous Muslim women and girls. The three men also facilitated and encouraged sexual violence by other soldiers against the imprisoned Muslim women and children. The prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia charged all three men with multiple crimes for their actions, including the crime of torture. The trial chamber held a trial and then considered the charges.
