Yes, the sad thing about these capital crimes is that there really is no sufficient remedy to fit it. In legal studies they taught us that in sentencing justice should have 5 key aspect at its most basic level. It must rehabilitate, punish, deter others, remove a threat to society and encourage the people to abide by the law. Rehabilitation isn't able to be fulfilled here, but the other four criteria can be fulfilled well enough with a severe punishment.

I think a lifetime of jail rape, lack of freedom etc would be worse than a quick death. My problem with life sentences is that they are so expensive, paying for his food, entertainment, shelter and guards (VERY expensive), medical bills etc is simply a drain on society. I am opposed to life sentences because of that, unless they make the person in question labour in economically productive activities.

I would estimate that close to half of all Bosniaks aren't concerned about punishments at all. It is certainly the second, if not the first, most common perspective on all this. Most people seem to simply want the guilty verdicts. So many people still deny what happened here, or try to equalize it between all three groups, that for every Bosnian Serb or Croat who is convicted, and every Bosniak acquitted, there is a great deal of focus on that moreso than on inidividual sentences.

The Jewish community here is pushing this the most. Jakov Finci gave a speech saying how 60 years after the holocaust, people still deny it took place. And now with the war in Bosnia, when everything was filmed and brought to the public in real time, there are still those who deny it - not just in Serbia, or traditional allies like Russia and Greece, but throughout the word. So the Jewish community maintains a list of all those accussed, all crimes, all massacres, etc...that took place.

They were the ones who actually produced the lists with every name of every civilian killed in Sarajevo, in addition to another list with the name of every soldier. They even detailed the age of every "solider" to demonstrate they're not talking about an army, but rather armed citizens of Sarajevo.

I kind of agree with this somewhat. I could agree completely if they were banned from ever returning to Bosnia and Herzegovina. But since they are allowed to come back, they should be punished for as long as possible - if only to keep them away.

On the topic of punishment, I saw the Danes are seriously considering to introduce castration as a punishment for the most serious rape crimes.

Ehh just another case of extreme alpha male behaviour, these things have stopped surprising me anymore but yeah he should probably get life in jail instead.
Now think about this:
Imagine if these type guys who are currently serving long sentences in the jails of the world got out one day simulaneously and were let lose in our gentle modern society. God be with you, your relatives but especially with your wife and daughers.

I have to do this again since u mention Serbs and Jews again:

"The crimes of the fascist Ustashe against the Serbs in the notorius camp of Jasenovac must be known-crimes that are the worst ones along with those commited against the Jews in Holocaust.''

                           Simon Wiesenthal

       www.jasenovac.org

And who denied that video(Srebrenica)?Most of Serbs were shocked.It was worse then a horror film-real people were involved.Yes,some claimed it was propaganda,that the whole thing was "directed"-but they quickly exhausted all their arguments.

All war criminals have to face their deeds.Includes Albanians-those two that went as free men from Hague...not the first time-many Bosniak and Serbian war criminals were sentenced to low sentences just because they admitted the crimes.One Serb whose wife was a Bosniak-who saved great no. of Bosniaks(they testified on his behalf) was sentenced on a long-term sentence cause he wouldn't admit something he never did(they offered him a ridicuolous sentence if he only admited).

Serbo-Croatian conspiracy?I'll try to find one interesting article...

This is so ironic that I dont know should I laugh or cry but this scenario actually happened in here Finland to Hazim Delic and Esad Landzo.

Both men were working(Delic second in command and Landzo a guard) in the consentration camp in Clebicin, Bosnia Herzegovina.
They were prosecuted for numerous rapes, assaults, murders, unlegal arrests and unhumane treating of prisoners.
For example beating a 70 year old man to death and then nailing the party's metal insignia to hes forehead. Burining genitals with a fuse. Lanzo forcing two relative men to have sex with each other while other prisoners watching. The list goes on and on.


Hazim Delic and Esad Landzo were senteced by The Hague.
The total years were Delic for 67 years and Landzo 57 but according to the tribunal each of the convictions could be sufferd simultainiously so the final convivtions were Delic for 18 years and Landzo for 15 years. After they were sentenced they were transfered to Finland and according to Finland's (perverted)law they will probably suffer two of third from their sentence. This means Landzo may be free next year and Delic during this decade.

Oh God, Hazim Delic was a monster. Landzo as well, but Delic especially. You know he actually had a crowd of more than one dozen supporters protesting on his behalf, for him to be acquitted?

Celebici might have been a small camp, given the size of the others operating on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995, but they certainly made up for it with their tortures.

Its funny how they exclusively mention either Croatians, Albanians and Serbs (Bosnians or not) uhuhuh very believeable . I find it hard to believe that Bosnians were the angels in this conflict, after all like the Kosovo Albanians they must have been involved as well in this same killing and slaughetring as the others did.

They mention our war criminals specifically as well. They just use the term "Bosnian Muslim" instead of "Bosniak", read the list again - they're there.

We may not have been the angels - but we were certainly the least armed. We also had all groups represented in our "army" - which was, more or less, an organization of civilians. For example, our general was a Bosnian Serb.

We didn't attack Serbia or Croatia, the same can't be said for them. We did not conspire with either of them to split the other in half, the same can't be said for them. We didn't kill roughly 10 per cent of their people and force more than half the population from their homes. We didn't adopt ethnic cleansing as an official policy, as something celebrated in the media with large public support.

Did we kill innocent Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats - of course. "Only" 80 per cent of war's victims were Bosniaks. That leaves 20 per cent who were Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats. Subtract those they killed themselves by bombing multiethnic cities like Sarajevo, and by Serb-led 'Croat cleansing' in places like Banja Luka, and by Croat-led 'Serb cleansing' in places like Novi Travnik - and that number will show you how many we killed.

Now does that make the individuals who committed these crimes as bad as any Croat or Serb war criminal, of course.

Does it suddenly make us equal partners in a war where we were clearly the target of genocide, as has already been shown by the ICTY? That's up to you. I could never think that way.

To me it is like using the Warsaw uprising to justify the holocaust. Using the massacres of German civilians to justify Stalingrad - which, by the way, is no longer the longest siege in modern, military history. Sarajevo has that title now.

The thing is that we did not have the ability to actually strike back if we wanted.  In 92 the weapons were moved out by the "jugoslav army." Out of croatia and bosnia before the wars even started the ethnic make up of the army by that time was overwhelmingly serb as was the cabinet and all chief government offices.  We did not start regaining lost territory untill 94 and then at Dayton we were made to give up all we gained pretty much and agree to that bs 49 51 division of the country.  And anyone that still considers this a civil war ask yourself why milosevic and tudjman were present at the dayton peace accords.

Oh civil war drives me CRAZY! It doesn't bother me from the West, they're thinking...civil war within Yugoslavia. But when they say civil war within Bosnia and Herzegovina, that's just stupid.

The first soldiers to attack Bosnia and Herzegovina en masse crossed from the "Serb Republic of Krajina" (Croatia). That's three countries involved the first week. And loads more found their way in.

I meant to say "almost exclusively" as I saw the names the first time around.

History many times over  takes the side of those who seem like the weak and helpless nation in conflict without first looking for the real causes of the conflict. In other words we hope to prevent things by  picking up obvious short-term cause and effect rather than to look back in time and see the situation as a whole.

Im not saying that Bosnians, or Kosovars or Croats were the ones who were the real guilty people of starting this war.But if you just look a while back at WW2 the Serbs were the victims of the atrocious Croatian Ustace movement which eliminated between 300000-600000 Serbs. In Kosovo, Nazis set up special SS forces (SS scanderbeg) of Albanians to clear out Serbs and I suppose something similar must have also happened in Bosnia.

Could it be possible that there is a lot more Bosniaks(muslims) who are hiding or are free because Bosnia was considered the victim nation?

Well there are loads hiding, but they've already lowered the scale.

The Bosniaks who were indicted were indicted for charges far less significant in SCALE - not in brutality, in SCALE - than their Serb counterparts. Serbs who did what these Bosniaks are charged with won't even be arrested, it was so common.

So they basically went after the top rungs of criminals from each group. If they had said, for example, we're only going to convict those who committed genocide - there wouldn't be a single Croat or Bosniak up there.

Yeah that is the thing.  They needed to garner up some Bosnians and Croats in order to balance out the war crimes tribunal due to the fact that if they were going by henious crimes alone they'd have like five on one side and countless on the other, while if they degraded the standard into lower crimes for both you'd have like fifty on one and ten thousand on the other.  The funny thing is that when you say that people say you're being biased, how am  I being biased when I know that the scale would be like that because I lived through that war.
