Prosecutor v. Radislav Krstić
Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
IT-98-33-T, Trial Chamber I Judgment (Aug. 2, 2001)
- Written by Kyli Cotten, JD
Facts
From July 13 to July 19, 1995, Serbian forces executed 7,000 to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim military-aged men in the town of Srebrenica. Serbian General Radislav Krstić (defendant) was charged with genocide for his involvement in the events. Krstić claimed that his actions could not constitute genocide, in part, because the killings were only against a select group of men in one town, which did not constitute a substantial part of the Bosnian Muslim group.
