Manuel Avila Camacho vs Zeljko Raznatovic

Ávila Camacho assumed the presidency in 1940 and led Mexico through World War II. He shifted Mexico from neutrality to active support for the Allies, declaring war on the Axis powers in 1942 after German submarine attacks on Mexican ships.

Ávila Camacho strengthened ties with the United States through economic agreements and military cooperation. This included settling oil expropriation disputes and allowing U.S. military bases on Mexican soil, which bolstered the Allied war effort.

Ávila Camacho signed the law creating the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), providing healthcare and pensions to workers. This institution became a cornerstone of Mexico's welfare state and social policy.

Raznatovic commanded the Serb Volunteer Guard, known as 'Arkan's Tigers,' a paramilitary unit that fought in Croatia and Bosnia. The unit was accused of ethnic cleansing, mass murder, and other atrocities against non-Serb civilians.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia indicted Raznatovic for war crimes, including murder, persecution, and deportation, committed by his paramilitary unit, the Serb Volunteer Guard, during the Bosnian and Croatian wars.

Raznatovic was shot dead by gunmen in the lobby of the InterContinental Hotel in Belgrade. The assassination occurred before his trial at the ICTY, and the perpetrators were never definitively identified.
