NYT: Genocide ruling on partial archive

Passages in the ICTY documents used by the ICJ were blacked out as a matter of national security upon the request of the Serbian government and the ICJ did not itself request the complete original archive from Serbia, the paper said.

The case against Serbia marked the first time that a UN member state has been tried for genocide. The separate International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has been hearing individual cases of alleged war crimes since 1993.

Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević was on trial at the Hague on genocide charges before his death last year. The court is scheduled to finish all trials by 2008 and all appeals by 2010, but the U.S. has urged the tribunal's continuation until police arrest two of the Hague’s most wanted fugitives - Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić and his military commander Ratko Mladić.
