On 24 March, the Hague tribunal handed down its verdict in the case against former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadžić for genocide and other charges – the most significant verdict yet in the tribunal’s history. The event looked at the ICTY’s track record about the future direction and potential of the International Criminal Court.
