The UN has taken it's sweet time about all this!

It looks to be a sound and thorough verdict at least.

It looks like people in Bosnia are pleased with the verdict.

And news of testimony in the Karadzic trial. It is pretty harrowing actually:

Well just getting these three links was a big deal, something is slowing things up on me. However, they are the links I thought mattered most for today.

There seem to be mixed feelings, as for example Gvero may not serve any further time if he gets early release for "good behaviour". But you're absolutely right, this is s a very important decision. After the appeal Krstic was found guilty of being simply a bagman for genocide, but Popovic and Beara have been found guilty of the crime itself (subject to confirmation after appeal) and an important part of the hierarchical chain of responsibility. A damning verdict. But will it mean anything? The European Union seems keen to get back to business as usual and ignore the inconvenient fact of Mladic still being at liberty.
