Labour: We owe it to the victims of Srebrenica

Douglas Alexander MP, shadow foreign secretary, comments on the arrest of Ratko Mladic:

“This is a welcome and important step forward for the Western Balkans and a significant moment for international justice.

“The people of the Western Balkans deserve a future free from conflict and we owe it to the victims of Sarajevo and Srebrenica to ensure Mladic now faces the judgement of international law.”
