The article presents information on various socio-political developments around the world. Fifty years ago, the Nuremberg war crimes tribunals set a precedent for accountability, but it was accountability borne of military victory. The Goldstorie tribunal in The Hague and a U.S. law-suit against Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic offer at least the distant prospect of something new, accountability without massive military intervention. In another development, world attention has focused on Nigeria in the wake of its November 10 hanging of prominent writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other critics of the military regime, on what are widely considered trumped-up charges with very real underpinnings of the politics of oil.
