This broadcast reports on Vukovar and the war crimes committed there, including a mass grave site where wounded soldiers from a hospital were taken out to a field and summarily executed. Featured footage shows British UN troops in a small Muslim village where a Muslim family of eight was burned to death. A civilian woman from the area being interviewed recalls young girls being raped. The report concludes with an interview with Cherif Bassiouni from the UN Commission of Experts on the establishment of the War Crimes Tribunal for the war in the former Yugoslavia.
