Acknowledgment, Taking of Responsibility, Remorse – The Way to Reconciliation

The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) welcomes the decision of former Bosnian Serb leader Biljana Plavšić to take responsibility for her conduct and actions during the armed conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina.  Her acknowledgment of the crimes committed, taking of responsibility for them, and the remorse she expressed are in the best interests of her own Serb people.  The HLC notes in particular that Plavšić’s decision opens the way to the reconciliation of individuals and ethnic groups, and to restoring the human dignity of the victims.

Prokuplje Court Hands Down Sentence For War Crime

The Humanitarian Law Center is pleased to note that the recent conviction of Ivan Nikolic puts an end to the longstanding practice of allowing war crimes to go unpunished. On 8 July this year, the District Court in Prokuplje found Nikolic (30), a former Yugoslav Army reservist, guilty of killing two Kosovo Albanian civilians, Vlaznimi Emini and Bahri Emini, near Penduh village in Kosovo on 24 May 1999 and sentenced him to eight years in prison.
