The first lesson from the ICTY is that international justice requires persistence and time,” Janisiewicz said. The trial tribunal judgment was delivered on March 24, 2016, and the judgment on the appeal on March 20 this year. “Karadžić was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment by the trial tribunal, but the appeal verdict was life imprisonment. We had to wait 24 years for the judgment after the trial process began,” Janisiewicz added. The former ICTY prosecutor also emphasized the importance of evidence such as videos, images, and newspaper clippings.
