So Ratko Mladic's war crimes trial is finally starting. If you don't know who he is, here's the crash course: big player in the massacre at Srebenica and all around ethnic cleansing in Sarajevo. So all in all, not the greatest guy.
In college I took a class on global human rights and one question we discussed I would like to pose: is it better that we have these war crimes trials, or should the justice be swifter, considering that most times a trial is at The Hague, the evidence is stacked against them. Also, for trials such as this, should the death penalty apply?
