Abstract:
This article intends to explain the transformation of the foreign policy since the end of the Cold War through the hypothesis of the evolution of the interactions between the professional groups: military, diplomats and industrialists. Using the genesis of French civil-military activities in Bosnia and in Kosovo between 1992 and 2001 as empirical framework, we endeavor to objectify the cross-sector dynamics which permeate with the bureaucratic competition between administrations, the mobilizations of senior officials and the interministerial division of labor in matter of international crises management. We wonder to what extent the international crises “managers” form an institutional space, a professional group or a social field in process of empowerment within the current foreign and defense policy.

Abstract:
This article presents the principal results, the process, the working methods and the limits of the investigation carried out by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concerning the Srebrenica massacre of July 1995. This investigation brought to light a vast operation to forcibly displace the women and children and to execute the men. The executions were organised and took place in three phases: (1) a sporadic phase, (2) a systematic phase, and (3) a phase of moving and hiding the bodies. The investigation revealed the military architecture underlying this operation of prisoner extermination. Despite the immensity of the crime scene, the police commissioner uses classic investigative methods (crossing of testimony, search and seizure, etc.) and plays the role of coordinator for a team of investigators and experts (in archaeology, forensic medicine, ballistics, etc.), working to put together the pieces of a huge puzzle.  Cet article présente les résultats principaux, le déroulement, les méthodes de travail et les limites des enquêtes menées par le Tribunal pénal international pour l'ex-Yougoslavie (TPIY) sur le massacre de Srebrenica de juillet 1995. L'enquête a mis au jour une vaste opération de transfert forcé des femmes et des enfants et d'exécutions des hommes. Ces exécutions organisées ont été menées en trois phases, d'abord sporadiques puis systématiques, puis de déplacement et dissimulation des corps. L'enquête a révélé l'architecture militaire de cette opération d'extermination des prisonniers. Devant l'énormité de la scène de crime, le commissaire de police utilise des méthodes d'investigation classiques (croisement de témoignages, perquisitions, etc.) et joue le rôle d'un coordinateur d'une équipe d'enquêteurs et d'experts (en archéologie, en médecine légale, en balistique, etc.) pour rassembler les pièces d'un immense puzzle.
