Prof. Dr. Robert J. Donia is President of the Council of the International Institute for Middle-East and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) in Ljubljana. He is a Research Associate at the Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Michigan, and a Visiting Professor at the University of California in San Diego. He is the author of numerous books, articles and reviews in scientific magazines dealing with the former Yugoslavia. He is also the counsellor of the The Hague War Crimes Trubunal.
Summary:
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia is about to close its doors. What has it done, if anything, to lessen the likelihood of future wars or to deter future human rights abuses should wars occur? Donia argues that a thorough, wide-ranging assessment of the Tribunal is imperative if we are to learn the lessons offered by the two decades of huge, costly undertaking of the Tribunal. He proposes areas that must be evaluated and offers a preliminary assessment based on his own participation in 12 different trials at the ICTY.
Attendance is free of charge. Please confirm your participation at telephone number (01) 430 15 33 or at ifimes@ifimes.org .
