An excerpt from the thesis:

Criminal investigations whether domestic or international face the same inherent problems. Whether this is the investigation into acts of genocide in Srebrenica and Rwanda or the investigation of a multi-jurisdictional serial killer, common problems emerge. History provides us with several examples of the transitional justice, from an act of war to a criminal act when an individual becomes responsible for his actions. It is at this point that nations become responsible for the protection of their citizens and must investigate and prosecute the crimes. This is also where war crimes meet domestic crimes and the two proceed on a common path.
