Milosevic's death in 2006 brought his trial to an abrupt halt just 10 days before its end, leaving the court, the people of the former Yugoslavia, and the world without a definitive legal resolution.
"The Milosevic Trial: An Autopsy" will address several key issues, including measuring the impact of trials in affected communities; devising case management and institutional design lessons for complex leadership trials; and considering the relationship between formal and legal processes and broader post-conflict transitional justice initiatives.
Conference participants include Zdenko Tomanovic, Law Office Tomanovic and Milosevic's legal advisor; Marco Prelec, director of the Balkans Project at International Crisis Group and former research officer with the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; and Nina Kisic, lawyer in the criminal defense section, Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The event is free and open to the public Feb. 19-21. More details about the speakers, topics, and a tentative schedule are available on the law school's Web site. The conference is co-sponsored by IU's Russian and East European Institute and Center for West European Studies.
