The U.S. Department of State expressed satisfaction with the fact
that the former commander of the "infamous concentration camp" of
Jasenovac was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes against
humanity.
State Department spokesman James Rubin in particular commended the
turnout of the witnesses who spoke before the court of their
suffering and the conditions in Jasenovac.
The U.S. says the verdict is significant as confirmation of the
determination to punish war crimes regardless of the passage of
time.
