This is an edited sound recording of Kevin Parker, vice-president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), describing his response to the extent and gravity of war crimes and other human rights violations in the former Yugoslavia and in Rwanda. Suggesting that such crimes can be committed by 'ordinary' people in situations of 'mass emotion', he expresses hope that the work of international tribunals will help to prevent them recurring. The recording was made in July 2008.
