Re: Ratko Mladic war criminal.

While most people welcome, and in some cases are trumpeting, the arrest and detention of Mladic it is important to note the fact that he was apprehended, and that he may well be tried, is due in no small part to the Human rights Act and the ECHR.

As such statements such as "Yes l agree with you that they should get the same treatment as they dished out to their victims" or "he should be made to suffer by having no contact with Anyone except the person who brings his food" are emotive, juvenile, baseless and indeed contrary to the very principles which might yet bring him to justice for the obscenities with which he is charged.

People would do well to contemplate those facts the next time they switch into [Daily mail] rant mode [/Daily Mail] in an (ill informed) attempt to attack the existence and exercising of Human Rights.

All things considered Mladic was an altar boy by comparison to Bernard Munyagishari who was also recently apprehended as a result of ongoing investigations brought about - again in no small part - by people and organisations who believe in the exercising of Human Rights.

That said - and political opportunist scepticism aside - Rwanda is not lobbying to join the EU any time soon.
