Was there a Genocide?

According to the article posted on Aljazeera, Croatia demands that Serbia have committed a genocide on 1991-1995. Croatia has sue the Serbian country with in the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Not only Croatia has sue Serbia, but Serbia has also sue Croatia. Both of the countries are suing each other of genocide. The hearing are based on the series of events that had occurred in Croatia while it was part of the Yugoslavian country in 1991-1995 war that estimated approximately 20,000 people were killed. The hearing are based on what Croatia accuses Serbia of committing genocide but Serbia has not pronounce why are they suing Croatia for.

According to the International Court of Justice, the worst/baddest/most serious international crime of them all. As being the worst crime, it is also the hardest one to be prove, according to the article there has only been one time that has been said that genocide was committed. It was said when in 1995 the Bosnian Serbs army killed over thousands of Bosnian Muslins civilians. It was known that while the Court accepted that Bosnian Serb had commenting the genocide, the International Court of Justice has declared that Bosnian Serb were guilty but the Serbia country as it self was not. The final decision while take a long time in order for it to have a final veridic, it is know that it could take over a year o be completed, the sue can not be appealed from this point. It is now wonder is this hearings will help for both of the countries to heal differences and past wound or would it bring the countries further apart.
