		Trial of Slobodan Milosevic Fmr. Yugoslav Pres. Slobodan Milosevic went on trial Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2002 before the United Nations Int'l Criminal Tribunal for the frm. Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, Netherlands.

Milosevic is facing 66 counts on war crimes during the 1991-99 Balkan wars, including genocide (in Bosnia) and crimes against humanity, in three indictments covering Kosovo, Bosnia, and Croatia. His trial is expected to take two years. Opening statements by the prosecution and by Milosevic, who is serving as his own lawyer, took five days.

Milosevic argues that his arrest was unlawful, that the tribunal is illegal, and that NATO committed the war crimes in Serbia while he himself was a peacemaker.

Carla Del Ponte, Chief Prosecutor
Geoffrey Nice, Principal Trial Attorney
Dirk Ryneveld, Senior Trial Attorney
Ms. Hildegaard Uertz-Retzlaff, Prosecutor

Accused:
Slobodan Milosevic
