Tegucigalpa, Marzo 25.─ To flee the threat of gang violence, more than 100 residents left their neighborhood in Honduras' capital, authorities said Thursday.

This is the second time this week an exodus like this has happened in Honduras.

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić was found guilty of genocide and war crimes and sentenced to 40 years last Wednesday   

Mairobi, March 26.─ The verdict ends Europe’s biggest war crimes trial since Nuremburg, and hopefully brings some solace to the families of the victims of the ethnic cleansing in Srebrenica in 1995. Karadžić was the final case before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

The tribunal is one of a series of international courts created to address the legacies of large-scale human rights violations, push back against impunity and hold individuals accountable.
