BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, General Mladic Is Waving

Topical drama providing an insight into the workings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, using verbatim transcripts from the Mladic trial. 

Transcripts and footage provided courtesy of the ICTY

Writer ..... Graham White
Director ..... Mary Peate

Broadcast the day after the verdict in the Mladic trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, this drama gives us a fascinating glimpse into the procedures of the ICTY during its final trial, based on the first hand experiences of the playwright and using verbatim tribunal transcripts. 

A play about the experience and meaning of the Hague Tribunal, a modern day Nuremburg, which, as it comes to an end, is perhaps more challenged and politically besieged than at any time since it opened, subject as it is to the conspiracy-theorising of internet echo-chambers and the 'post-truth' world.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
