Reports said that he pointed out that this apprehension sends a powerful message that those who are alleged to have committed such crimes cannot evade justice and will be held accountable. UN, U.S. welcome arrest of Goran Hadzic Ban commended Serbian President Boris Tadic and the Serbian authorities "for their leadership in ending impunity for those indicted for serious violations of international humanitarian law," the statement reads. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay concurred, stating that "the arrest sends a strong message that those who commit human rights violations will be held accountable, if not by domestic judicial processes, then by international justice mechanisms." "Hadzic’s arrest marks a watershed in the important work of the Hague, 18 years after it was formed," she said, adding that she expects that "the momentum created by these latest developments in the Hague will serve to strengthen existing processes and initiatives in the field of international criminal justice, not only in the region, but also elsewhere in the world." The White House has welcomed the arrest of war crimes indictee Goran Hadzic hoping it will bring satisfaction to war crimes victims, their families and the entire region. The U.S. congratulated Serbian President Boris Tadic and the government on making sure the last missing indictee of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (Hague) was brought to justice. In its statement, the White House expresses hope Hadzic's arrest, which came less than two months since the arrest of Ratko Mladic, will bring satisfaction to the victims of war crimes in Croatia, their families and the entire region, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency. Hadzic's arrest is a warning to all war criminals around the world, letting them know that they too will face justice some day, the statement reads. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said Wednesday Hadzic's arrest was a turning point for the Hague and an opportunity to do justice. Goran Hadzic at the Special Court on Wednesday (Tanjug)
