ICTY decision to uphold Lukic convictions sparks anger

International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague has upheld the convinction of two Bosnian Serb commanders. The Lukic cousins tried to overturn their sentencing for the killing of Muslims during Bosnia's 1992 to 1995 war. But the verdict has sparked anger among Serbs. Charlie Angela reports.

hahahahaha you really are a fool.Imagine that I 4 years bombards your city and after 4 years you say enough is enough and have gone to counterattack and beat me. According to your logic I'm a victim, you're a war criminal

The ICTY is fucking bias - stupid pigs aren't there to deliver international justice. How is it that only Serbs have been found guilty, no Croatians or Bosnian Muslims have! It's a sick joke, the court is a joke.

While not limiting the issues of the Serbs during the war I do agree with you. It's been going on for a while, now recently it was these two and then Ramush Haradinaj gets off...again.

these leaders of the serb offensive do belong in solitary confinement. it's a shame that the icty hasn't convited the croats, bosnians, and albanian nationals guilty of civilian attrocities as well.

But, yes, I fully agree with others here that the ICTY is merely a sick joke, definitely not a deliverer of international justice. Obviously, that was to be expected since it is financed and controlled by USA and its key EU allies who were behind Croatia's ethnic cleansing campaign (the so called Operation Storm) in august 1995 as well as behind the NATO bombings in 1999. You can't expect a party to a conflict to be an impartial judge of that same conflict. That goes against basic common sense!

Yet again, the Serbs get shafted! The ICT is a joke. No objectivity at all.

I'm amazed at the amateurish reporting by Al Jazeera in this case. The protests mentioned have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with these two Lukic brothers, who are just ordinary dogs of war found on all sides in conflicts.

The protests have to do with the recent acquittals of several high-ranking Croat and Albanian war criminals, which is rightly seen as an insult to their Serbian victims as well as the nail in the coffin for any hopes that the ICTY would serve its mission of justice.
