1. ICTY – International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
Mirna Babović

2. On 31 January 1946, the new constitution of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, modeled
after the Soviet Union, established six republics, an autonomous province, and an autonomous
district that were part of SR Serbia. The federal capital was Belgrade.

5. The Bosnian War was a result of multiethnic strife within
Bosnia. Bosnia has been traditionally multicultural and has
created territories within its borders to accommodate Serbs
and Croats that do not consider themselves part of
mainstream Bosnian culture.
Because of this, there has been much debate as to whether
the Bosnian War was a civil war or a war of aggression. Many
Bosniaks and Croats believe that the conflict was a war of
Serbian and Croatian aggression, while most Serbs believe it
was a civil war. Bosniaks are predominately Muslim, while
Serbs are Eastern Orthodox, and Croats are mostly Roman
Catholic. At the time the war started in March of 1992,
Bosniaks consisted of 43% of Bosnia, while Serbs accounted
of 31% of the population and Croats 17%.
