Roth wrote that genocide perpetrators should be held accountable.

The final trial against Mladic is a significant contribution to the prosecution of terrible atrocities committed in the former Yugoslavia. The perpetrators of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity must be held accountable. The reconciliation needs the truth and acceptance of the facts”, Roth said.
