UNV 100: Never Again? Holocaust & Genocide in the 20th and 21st Century

In July 1995, at the height of the Bosnian war, French policeman Jean-René Ruez, arrived in Sarajevo tasked with hunting down snipers. But after hearing rumours thousands of Muslim men were being tortured and executed, he quickly abandoned his original mission. Appointed Chief Investigator by the Hague, Ruez has spent the past 13 years working tirelessly to prove the massacres were planned in advance. Haunted by all he has learnt and worn down by the weight of his responsibility, Ruez has sacrificed everything to try and hold the guilty to account. Through his eyes, we gain a fresh perspective on what happened at Srebrenica.
