"What is more disconcerting about the proceedings currently underway at The Hague, which began a year ago this past February [2003] and are likely to continue for another two years or more, is the disjunction between what you see before you and the events being addressed: a decade in which a country's long-dormant potential for violent ethnic hatred became the central fact of its existence, many thousands of its citizens lost their lives, millions lost their homes and property, and many hundreds of thousands were either forcibly displaced within what had been a stable state or condemned to exile. But here all is calm and orderly." (HARPER'S) This article provides an overview of Slobodan Milosevic's trial and compares the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 (ICTY) to more conventional legal proceedings, specifically to those found in the United States.
