Dr. Milenko Kreća is professor of international law at the University of Belgrade and was a judge on the International Court of Justice panel which considered Bosnia and Herzegovina’s application to ICJ to find Serbia guilty of genocide for certain events which took place on its territory during the conflict in the 1990s. Kreća’s separate and partly dissenting opinion dealt with a range of pertinent issues, but in particular how the Convention on genocide should be interpreted and applied under the particular circumstances. We share his opinion with our readers because it constitutes a cogent critique of the interpretation of the Convention commonly found in the judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, in the media, and in politicians’ the casual pronouncements.
