the trials of war crimes were very much in the forefront of the news during the years immediately after the end of World War II. They then ceased to be of news value except on rare occasions such as the My Lai Massacre, and even then much of the media did not really view that as a war crime. With the events in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Rwanda, war crimes trials have once again become front-page material.
