TO THE EDITOR: Bosnian Serb arrested for war crimes

Fri, Jun 20 2008 11:00 CET 272 Views

The arrest of Serbian war criminal Stojan Zupljanin is an important step forward for justice for the victims of the genocide in Bosnia-Hercegovina, as well as for humanity. Zupljanin is the third highest war criminal wanted by the United Nations, charged with genocide, mass murder and crimes against humanity.

The two remaining high-level war criminals include Radocan Karadic and Ratko Mladic who remain free and are believed by the United Nations to be in Serbia.
Could the arrest of Zuplanin signal that Karadic and Mladic's days are numbered, perhaps as Zuplanin is believed to have been a major supporter and protector of both Karadic and Mladic, both of whom are wanted in connection to the July 1995 massacre of 6000 Bosnian youth in and around the city of Srebrenica?

Justice has been slow but it is occurring. For such killers and these men to remain free after such horrible crimes, is an insult to humanity and to justice.
