2) Summerize the source and how it is useful to you:

The article focuses on the ruling of the International Court of Justice in late February absolving Serbia of direct responsibility for genocide committed during their war with Bosnia.

3) A quote from the article that is the main point or thesis of the the article:

“The International Court of Justice ruling in late February, absolving Serbia of direct responsibility for genocide committed during the 1992-1995 war with Bosnia, may actually be the biggest boon to capturing two of the former Yugoslavia's most wanted war criminals.”
