The former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic went on trial on February 12, 2002 before the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia(ICTY) in The Hague, Netherlands. Milosevic was charged with 66 counts of war crimes during the 1991-99 Balkan wars, including genocide (in Bosnia) and crimes against humanity, in three indictments covering Kosovo, Bosnia, and Croatia.
The trial was expected to take two years. After four years and with fifty days of hearing scheduled Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in his cell.
Did he die of natural causes as the tribunals appointed medical team stated, was he murdered as some of his supports are claiming or did he deliberately take his own life?
Can there ever be any real justice when trials last so long?
