Judgement Day The Trial Of Slobodan Milosevic

For the first time in recorded history, a world leader has been brought before a court that has a valid claim to represent all the other nations of the world. Judgement Day tells the remarkable story of the International Criminal Court, the world's first truly global war-crimes court, how it came into being, and the lengths to which its prosecutors went to in order to indict its most notorious defendant, Slobodan Milosevic. Author Chris Stephen, the Hague Tribunal project director, has unprecedented access to the prosecution and defense lawyers, politicians, and court officials charged with trying the former Yugoslav president, who stands accused of the most heinous crimes committed in Europe since World War II. At the heart of the story is the brooding, brutal, swaggering figure of Slobodan Milosevic himself, who with the help of a team of legal experts conducted his own defense with a wealth of information provided to him by the Serbian secret police via telephone links to Belgrade. Judgement Day is a riveting and authoritative account of the most important international trial since Nuremberg.Stephen, Chris is the author of 'Judgement Day The Trial Of Slobodan Milosevic', published 0013 under ISBN 9780871138828 and ISBN 0871138824.
