Join us by telephone on Thursday, July 21, 2011, from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EDT for a free teleconference on the extradition of Ratko Mladić to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The program is sponsored by the International Human Rights Committee and co-sponsored by U.S. Lawyers Practicing Abroad Committee.Please note that the host has NOT apparently applied for CLE credit on this; however, from the content and speaker it appears to this editor that, in some jurisdictions at least, you would be able to apply for credit as an individual. Consult your credit-granting body.
The recent arrest of Mladić in Serbia and his extradition to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes has provided new work for the ICTY and affected its forecasted budget.
Linda Murnane, Chief of Court Management and Support Services, ICTY, will provide discussion, and William Dunlap, Professor, Quinnipiac University School of Law, will moderate. Ms. Murnane will discuss the arrest of Mladić; obligation of States to cooperate; legal process of transferring the accused; impressions of ICTY at time of capture; how Mladić's capture has affected ICTY's budget; and what happens next.
Ms. Murnane will also discuss her experience serving as ICTY’s Senior Legal Officer, Chief of Court Management and Support Services, and former Acting Head of Chambers. She will describe the different approaches to criminal conduct in war that are handled at ICTY and the U.S. Air Force where she previously served for ten years as a military judge.
A 30-minute question and answer period will follow Ms. Murnane’s presentation.
Ms. Murnane’s views do not represent the official position of the United Nations or the ICTY.

What It’s Like to Chill Out With Whom the Rest of the World Considers As The Most Ruthless Men: Ratko Mladic, Goran Hadzic and Radovan Karadzic (+) Confessions of a Female War Crimes Investigator By Jill Louise Starr NJ USA

Retrospectively, it was all so simple, natural and matter of fact being on a boat restaurant in Belgrade, sitting with, laughing, drinking a two hundred bottle of wine and chatting about war and peace while Ratko Mladic held my hand. Mladic, a man considered the world’s most ruthless war criminal since Adolf Hitler, still at large and currently having a five million dollar bounty on his head for genocide by the international community. Yet there I was with my two best friends at the time, a former Serbian diplomat, his wife, and Ratko Mladic just chilling. There was no security, nothing you’d ordinarily expect in such circumstances. Referring to himself merely as, Sharko; this is the story of it all came about.
