With the start of Zdravko Tolimir trial, it has come to our attention that Judge Christoph Flügge is "presiding judge" of this landmark genocide trial. Let us remind the public that German Judge Christoph Flügge is a despicable genocide denier, and if the Hague Tribunal had any standards, they would have removed him from the bench.

Last year, Judge Christoph Flügge gave an interview to the German weekly magazine “Der Spiegel” in which he openly questioned the Srebrenica genocide. According to the article, Judge Flügge stated that “the term genocide to define these crimes is unnecessary” instead preferring to refer to it as “mass murder”. He claimed that there is no reason to differentiate between “a group that is murdered for their nationality, religion, ethnicity, or race, as is regulated by the Hague Statute” and a group that “happens to be gathered at a specific location”.
