Documentary on crimes against cultural heritage screened in Belgrade

Belgrade |

The Tribunal’s Outreach Programme screened today its latest documentary, Dubrovnik and Crimes against Cultural Heritage, in Belgrade, Serbia. The screening was organised in cooperation with the Youth Initiative for Human Rights and was attended by young people interested in transitional justice and human rights, as well as by members of the diplomatic community.

The screening led to a vivid discussion among the attendees, with participants stressing the importance of communicating the facts established by the Tribunal to audiences in Serbia. The audience members stated that the Outreach-produced materials are an excellent tool in making sure that the work of the Tribunal is better understood in the region of the former Yugoslavia.

Dubrovnik and Crimes against Cultural Heritage is the sixth documentary film produced by the Outreach Programme as part of its efforts to bring the work and achievements of the Tribunal closer to audiences in the former Yugoslavia and around the world. The film provides an overview of the Tribunal’s work in adjudicating crimes of systematic destruction of institutions dedicated to religion, education or culture.
