In August 1992, Vulliamy and British television reporter Penny Marshall managed to gain access to the notorious Omarska and Trnopolje camps, operated by the Bosnian Serbs for mainly Bosnian Muslim and Croat Catholic inmates.

Their graphic accounts of the conditions of the prisoners were recorded for the documentary Omarska's survivors: Bosnia 1992.

Discovery of the camps was credited with contributing to the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.

He remained in Bosnia for the bulk of the remainder of the war, covering ethnic cleansing from the inside, and the siege of Sarajevo.

For his coverage of the war in Bosnia, Vulliamy won most major awards in British journalism and became the first journalist since the Nuremberg trials to testify at an international war crimes tribunal, the ICTY.

From 2003 onwards, Vulliamy has worked along the US-Mexican border, reporting on organised crime, narco-traffic, cartel wars, security and migration.

2013

This work led to his book Amexica: War Along the Borderline, which in 2013 won the coveted Ryszard Kapuściński Award – named in honor of the writer, creator and master of the genre.

He was among the first reporters to reveal the laundering of proceeds of narco-traffic by mainstream high-street banks (Wachovia and HSBC) on a massive scale.

Reviewing 'Amexica' in the New York Times, Tamara Jacoby wrote: "Vulliamy, with a mix of irony and pathos, writes like a latter-day Graham Greene — the detached foreign observer who has seen it all yet really cares".

Vulliamy also writes about football, music and painting.

The book explores music and conflict, and features the last interview with B.B. King.

In September 2022, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra - conducted by Ciarán Crilly with soloists and choir - premiered a Cantata about the Irish Civil War, 'Who'd Ever Think It Would Come To This?', for which Vulliamy wrote the libretto.
