Zusammenfassung:On Feb 28, 2013, the appeals chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (Tribunal or ICTY) decided Prosecutor v. Perisic, a case involving three of the most significant atrocities of the 1990s war in the former Yugoslavia: the shelling of Sarajevo from Aug 1993 until Nov 1995, the massacre at Srebrenica in Jul 1995, and the shelling of Zagreb in May 1995. Less than one year later, a differently constituted ICTY appeals chamber, presided over by Judge Liu, decided Prosecutor v.Sainovic,, a massive case involving six defendants accused of forcibly displacing part of the Kosovo Albanian population by criminal means between Mar and Jun 1999, both within and outside Kosovo, with a view to changing the ethnic balance in the province and ensuring the continued control by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbian authorities over it. Like Perisic, Sainovic addressed a particularly grievous dimension of the war in the former Yugoslavia, the "ethnic cleansing" of Kosovo by Serb forces, which ultimately provoked a NATO military intervention. Here, Stewart describes the two cases and its implications.
