Among the defendants indicted by the tribunal for crimes against humanity and genocide in the Bosnian war are Serb leaders Radovan Karadic, Radko Mladic and former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. Recent trial sessions have focused on the mass murders of Bosnian muslims at Srebrenica in 1993 and the rape and torture camps at Vukovar and Omarska. The field visit is primarily designed for students whar are taking or have taken 200-level courses in human rights and humanitarian law, criminal law or international relations. 7,079 men are estimated by the Red Cross to have died at Srebrenica. Thousands were executed and dumped in mass graves.
