This report focuses on rape, which is recognized as a war crime by the War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. A UN commission has collected information on over 4,500 cases of rape in the former Yugoslavia. UN investigators estimate that more than 20,000 rapes have been carried out. Women on all sides, Muslim, Croat, and Serb, have been raped, but the patterns of reported rapes “strongly suggest that a systematic rape policy existed in certain areas” controlled by Serbs. Statements are provided by Samra Gluhić (Women's Support Group), Cherif Bassiouni (head of the UN commission investigating war crimes in Bosnia), victims of rape, and Borislav Herak, a captured Serb soldier who describes the rapes he committed. Images of women refugees included.
