New book on ICTY and conflict in the former Yugoslavia: “Joint Criminal Enterprise,” by Andy Wilcoxcson
A casual reader of this book would never suspect that its author is not a lawyer or historian but a person with a background in the technical sciences. With remarkable clarity and ample documentation, Andy Wilcoxson calls into question the major postulates of the “received wisdom” about conflicts in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and compellingly…
Srebrenica demilitarization agreement of April 18, 1993
This is the first Srebrenica demilitarization agreement signed in April 1993 (the second was concluded a fortnight later and also included the neighboring enclave of Žepa) providing for the handover of weapons and cessation of use of Srebrenica enclave as a platform for launching military attacks, in return for halting the Serbian offensive.

ICMP: The unseen evidence
One of the key evidentiary issues that arose during several ICTY Srebrenica trials was the right of the accused to conduct an independent examination of the forensic evidence used against them.

Popović judgment analysis: Does DNA help the faltering Srebrenica lobby? (2010)
Although originally published in 2010, this analysis of ICTY’s trial judgment in the Popović case is as pertinent today as when it was written. In particular because of legislation to ban “Srebrenica genocide denial” that is pending before the Canadian parliament. Interestingly, the same Srebrenica lobby outfit that unsuccessfully attempted to ban criticism of “Srebrenica…
