Subject
-people of greatest concern are going to be those giving orders
-Perisic: which countries and what particular crimes
•Zagreb— capital of Croatia
•from Serbia
•chief of the general staff of Yugoslav army
•indicted him for not punishing those who shelled Zagreb and killed innocent
civilians
•punished them for losing the Kraina, not for shelling Zagreb
•the appeals chamber revoked all sentencing— just because he punishes them later
does not mean he had control of them during the time of the crime
•there was an alternative chain of command and how they could not control the men
•aiding and abetting was also thrown out by the appeals chamber— aiding and
abetting has to be directed at the specific criminal activity
-not just helping people who are waging war in general
-a few others have been acquitted:
•Ante Gotovina: Croatian accused of another shelling
•Jovica Stanisic: head of Serb intelligence service
-these acquittals have led a number of people to question where this is headed— is it
a failure?
-similar at ICC— hard to try Thomas Lubanga-Dyilo
-Ndugolo Chui— DRC
-Germain Katanga— DRC
-short answers: 2-3 sentences, just explain what it is, if you want you can saY the
significance
