The Role of War Tribunals in Shaping Serbian Historical Narratives 2024 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/10321 https://doi.fil.bg.ac.rs/pdf/eb_book/2024/ips_hcmemory/ips_hcmemory-2024-ch21.pdf J. Pavlović This paper analyzes the role of the International Crim inal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in shap ing historical narratives of the Serbian role in the Yugo slav Wars. It explores criticisms of the ICTY’s perceived biases, its impact on conflict narratives, and concerns about its legitimacy. The paper discusses the portrayal of Serbian actions in the closing statements of Radovan Karadžić and Slobodan Milošević, highlighting the invo cation of historical contexts such as World War I and II. It concludes that while the ICTY has been instrumental in addressing war crimes, it has also contributed to a simplified portrayal of Serbs as aggressors, neglecting the complexities of the conflict and the diverse experi ences of the Serbian population. article https://doi.org/10.18485/ips_hcmemory.2024.ch21 1 417 419 978-86-7 History and cultural memory
