Croatian legal team argue case of genocide at the Hague

A Croatian legal team, today, told a top United Nations court in The Hague, the International Court of Justice (ICJ),  that Serbian leaders were ‘in denial’ over a policy of genocide that was carried out in the 1990s.

The head of Croatia’s legal team, Vesna Crinic-Grotic, argued to the court that,

“Many political leaders in Serbia have maintained an attitude of denial.

“We will show you that the crimes that took place in the campaign against Croats amount to genocide,” she further added.

An estimated 20,000 people died during Croatia’s four-year war for independence, with a further 2,000 people killed in another offensive against Croatia.
