For the first time, war criminals from all sides of a conflict were tried by an independent and international court. In more than 20 years, the ICTY sentenced 160 persons \u2013 from Milo\u0161evi\u0107 and Mladi\u0107 to ordinary men the war had turned into criminals \u2013 and exposed the Srebrenica genocide. Yet, its legacy is controversial. Today, the people of ex-Yugoslavia are nowhere close to reconciliation, and the idea of international justice seems utopian.<\/p>\n<p>Now, 30 years after the Yugoslav Wars broke out, we trace the story and impact of the ICTY with testimonies of prosecutors, defendants and victims, and with full access to the Tribunal\u2019s monumental archive. Did the ICTY succeed? Can it be a model for bringing justice to the victims of the wars of the future?<\/p>\n<p>Among the protagonists are survivors of mass executions in Srebrenica and Kosovo, the prosecutors of Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107 and Ratko Mladi\u0107, as well as two perpetrators: Esad Land\u017eo, a prison camp guard, sentenced for torture and murder, and Biljana Plav\u0161i\u0107, former President of the Republika Srpska and the only woman convicted by the Tribunal. While Land\u017eo now recognizes his mistakes, Plav\u0161i\u0107 \u2013 a Serb nationalist who was Karadzic\u2019s deputy during the war \u2013 admits in the film to have pleaded guilty only to get a milder sentence, as she considers the Tribunal \u201ca farce \u201c.<\/p>\n<p>In this 2-part documentary, director Lucio Mollica sheds light on the many obstacles faced by the Tribunal in its quest for justice and examines the impact of the trials on the region and on the people involved. While the verdicts did not bring reconciliation to everyone, they established the truth on the first European genocide since World War II in the eyes of many and the principle that war crimes must not remain unpunished.
