A rally in Belgrade today in support of General Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb military commander. Rumours have been flying around for days that he's on the verge of either being captured or giving himself up. Until his name is cleared in an international court of law, it will always be inextricably linked with one of the worst peacetime atrocities of the last century to have taken place on our continent.

I don't pretend to be an authority on the Balkan conflict of the mid-90s. Neither do I know whether the blood of over 7000 men and boys from the town of Srebrenica lies on Ratko Mladic's hands.

But innocent or guilty, he must be able to provide some answers - and that, surely, is the very least that the victims and bereaved of Srebrenica deserve.
