Tromp: Trial archives are valuable evidence for writing history
The author of the book "The Unfinished Trial of Slobodan Milosevic", Nevenka Tromp is participating in the international conference of the Institute of War Crimes in Kosovo.
The researcher of the Hague Tribunal for War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia said that trial archives are valuable evidence for writing history.
"The initial and major question is how can criminal trials of these crimes contribute to the writing of history? A very important thing is that trial archives are a very rich set of evidence, there are artifacts, audio and verbal testimonies. Now, where most trials have ended, there is a trial file, most of the evidence can be accessed by the public but it is not easy to access them. These are trial files, this evidence was exposed during a session to the outside world", she said.
While talking about the Milosevic trial, she mentioned the witnesses summoned and how this process did not end.
