British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has lauded Radovan Karadzic’s transfer to a UK prison. But so long as Western leaders who start wars are immune from prosecution, virtue-signalling on ‘international justice’ is misplaced.

LONDON: Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, currently behind bars in The Hague, will serve the rest of his sentence for the Srebrenica genocide in a British prison, the government in London said Tuesday.
“We should take pride in the fact that, from UK support to secure his arrest, to the prison cell he now faces, Britain has supported the 30-year pursuit of justice for these heinous crimes,” Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said as he announced the prison transfer.
“Radovan Karadzic is one of the few people to have been found guilty of genocide,” added Raab. “He was responsible for the massacre of men, women and children at the Srebrenica genocide and helped prosecute the siege of Sarajevo with its remorseless attacks on civilians.”
