Court Opens Bosnia Genocide Hearings
From Times Wire Reports
Bosnia-Herzegovina accused Serbia and Montenegro of taking non-Serbs on a “path to hell” in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, as the highest U.N. court launched its first hearings into state-sponsored genocide.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague opened the case 13 years after Bosnia sued the rump Yugoslav state from which it seceded in 1992, triggering a war in which at least 100,000 people were killed. If Bosnia wins, it could seek billions of dollars in compensation.
