In the second episode, we cover how the Right to Truth is embedded in the complex politics of truth-seeking in international court procedures. Dr. Petrovic explains to us the achievements of ICTY and the long lasting challenges to peace and reconciliation. The immediate challenges concern the protection of victim witnesses and thinking about whether the disclosure of truth has made progress to their reconciliation. In addition to the persecution of key war criminals, he notes that it is an achievement that vast historical records were compiled and made public. However, he warns that the truth that came out of the ICTY is only a small, fragmented part of the whole picture of human rights violations committed in the Balkans.
