SARAJEVO, April 17 (FENA) - Former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and President of the Mechanism of the International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) Judge Theodor Meron visited today the Museum of Crimes against Humanity and Genocide 1992-1995 in Sarajevo.
President of the Association of war camp detainees of Bosnia and Herzegovina Jasmin Mešković presented the museum artifacts to Judge Meron, especially placing the focus on the most horrible crimes committed in Prijedor, Srebrenica and many of the concentration camps that existed throughout BiH, which judge Meron knows quite well.
“The Museum of Crimes against Humanity and Genocide must be visited by all those who cannot comprehend the scale of cruelty of one human being over another,” Meron told FENA.
In a conversation with Mešković, Meron emphasized that during his work in the Tribunal, he was most sensitive to crimes against children, as well as children who testified before the Court.
Judge Meron is staying in an official visit to Sarajevo from April 17 to 19. It is the first official visit of Judge Meron to a country of former Yugoslavia since the closure of the ICTY in late 2017 and the transfer of the remaining obligations of the ICTY to the Mechanism.
