Contents Summary
Program about Bosnian war criminals living in Gemany as refugees, alongside other Bosnians whom they victimized during the Bosnian conflict. The program also focuses on how justice can be achieved and implemented through the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, the first such court since the end of WWII. Many countries, including Germany, have to decide how to arrest war criminals and what constitutes evidence against them. Much of the report profiles Dusko Tadic, a Bosnian Serb indicted for crimes in Omarska prison camp. Interviews: Husein Bezic, a Bosnian Muslim refugee and former neighbor of Tadic (talks about war criminals residing in Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Braunschweig, Hannover, Hamburg, and Berlin); Fatima, who was imprisoned in a camp for women (identifies her Serbian neighbor, whom she encountered in Germany, as the rapist and murderer of a little girl); an anonymous Hamburg lawyer; a UN investigator of war crimes; Imin, a Bosnian Muslim who witnessed Tadic's crimes (recounts the June 17, 1992 torture incident when Tadic ordered him to castrate his fellow inmate, and other incidents of beatings and torture); Alija Kadenovic, former friend of Tadic and psychology professor (talks about Tadic's character and his involvement in the Serbian Democratic Party-SDS); Nusret, a Muslim policeman (indicates that Tadic helped Serbian soldiers to round up Muslims); Zeljko Mejakic, Omarska camp commander and acquaintance of Tadic; and Cherif Bassiouni, UN Commission on War Crimes (discusses Germany's willingness to assist the arrests of war criminals residing in Germany). Footage included: Dusko Tadic's arrest in Munich, Germany; Omarska camp and the garage where the June 17, 1992 incident occurred; Serb camp guards; Tadic in Kozarac; Manjaca camp; destruction in Kozarac; photos of young Tadic with Muslim friends (including Emir Karabasic, a Muslim friend later murdered in Omarska); Omarska camp after closing; and the Hague tribunal.
