UPDATE: July 30th, 2008 -- Karadzic, the Serbian leader accused of organizing crimes against humanity and genocide most notably against the 8,000 men and boys who lives were exterminated in the Balkans. -- This is the proof that justice can prevail, giving hope and ending impunity.

Radovan Karadzic personified impunity for more than a
decade, but his efforts to run the clock on justice have failed.
This arrest offers hope to the victims of the horrific crimes
that occurred there.

When ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo requested that an arrest warrant be issued for the Sudanese President al-Bashier, hope can again flourish among the rebel groups fighting for their homes, families and land.
