An international tribunal was set up to try the perpetrators of crimes such as this, and one of the accused was Slavko Dokmanović, who at the time was the mayor of a local town. Vladimír Dzuro, a criminal detective from Prague, was one of the investigators charged with discovering what happened on that horrific night at Ovčara. The story Dzuro presents here, drawn from his daily notes, is devastating. It was a time of brutal torture, random killings, and the disappearance of innocent people. In addition to the story of the pursuit and arrest of Dokmanović, The Investigator provides a realistic picture of the war crime investigations that led to the successful prosecution of a number of war criminals. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Yugoslav War, 1991-1995 |xAtrocities. 650 0 War crime trials |zNetherlands |zHague. 650 0 Trials (Crimes against humanity) |zNetherlands |zHague. 650 0 War criminals |xTrials, litigation, etc. 650 0 War crimes investigation. 650 0 Detectives |zCzech Republic. 650 7 Atrocities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 Detectives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00891581 650 7 Trials (Crimes against humanity) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01156320 650 7 War crime trials. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01170459 650 7 War crimes investigation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01895839 651 7 Czech Republic. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01256743 651 7 Netherlands |zHague. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204787 600 17 Dzuro, Vladimír |d1961- |2gnd |0(DE-588)1199009954 650 7 Ermittlung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4070924-3 650 7 Jugoslawienkriege. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4875209-5 650 7 Kriegsverbrechen. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4033151-9 647 7 Yugoslav War |d(1991-1995) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01183774 648 7 1991-1995 |2fast 852 0 |bscstacks |hDR1313.7.A85 |iD9813 2019
