In the case of crimes against humanity, the arc of the moral universe has been long...but this week, it's bending a bit more towards justice.

After thirteen years of hiding in plain sight as a natural health guru, indicted war criminal and former president of Serbia, Radovan Karadzic was arrested this week in Belgrade. The appointment of a new, pro-european government there late last month seems to have cleared the way. The EU - which Serbia hopes to join - has put considerable pressure on the new government to hand over indicted war criminals to the UN Tribunal at the Hague. Karadzic was indicted in 1995 on eleven counts of genocide, crimes against humanity, and atrocities including the shelling of Sarajevo and the massacre of 8000 men and boys in Srebrenica. Karadzic is being held in Belgrade, pending extradiction for trial at the Hague.

The arrest of Karadzic after years of evasion has led to clashes on the streets of Belgrade. It has also raised many questions. In this interview, GRITtv looks at the significance of Karadzic's arrest and what it means for the former Yugoslavia by looking back at the nuts and bolts of the genocide that took place in the Balkan states in the early '90s. Our guests are Ilan Ziv and Stacy Sullivan.

Filmmaker Ilan Ziv's Yellow Wasps: Anatomy of a War Crime documents the rise of a Nationalist Serbian paramilitary unit in Bosnia in the early 1990s, and the first war crimes trial in Serbia. The leader of the paramilitary killers "Yellow Wasps" protests that he was just a small fish doing his job. Ziv points out that bloody footage he uses in the film was "embargoed" by the Reuters office in Belgrade, and could have been broadcast the day the aftermath of the massacre was filmed. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Roy Gutman broke the story, and is interviewed on the "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia.

Stacy Sullivan is a senior advisor on counter-terrorism at Human Rights Watch. As a journalist in the '90's, Sullivan covered the war in Bosnia for Newsweek magazine. She interviewed Radovan Karadzic just before he was indicted and went into hiding.
