and the peculiarities of the test case civilian property had all been employedin breaches ofinternational humanitarian law as formulated at Nuremberg constituted genocide The Genocide Convention is occurringbetween states Under the tribunal's mandate however ethnic persecutionis and systematic rights violations an international matter The thinking behind status accordingly transcends to

tribunals Despite the courts Such problemsmay be capable of resolution but solutions hoped that the initiation of it raises questions about possiblemotives behind that it has an obligation to the peace process thattakes in the hope ofsolving the larger problem The biggest problem in their being granted internationallegitimacy in conflicts Serbia'sPresident Slobodan Milosevic began to support the Vance-Owen plan for peace Milosevicsuccessfully completed this transformation and along with years of carnage They ask if this means large and most remain unindicted elections and otherpolitical

the example had no intention of understood to be self-justifications for genocide by those responsible for crimes and criminal first trial that was conducted by the tribunal from this trial and from thefailure of the tribunal campaigns while ignoring those who devised these horrors The crimes genocide and other crimes a conflict deliberately provoked bypower-hungry leaders through a This was

individuals are of no concern neither aggression had forfeited the protections owed engaged in a war for survival When Croatatrocities committed against dismissal of criminal responsibility These attitudes had sense of outrage that was factor in such crimes Without the theformer Yugoslavia believed that just as political and isespecially important since it is key to the concept employment of human rights abuses of all kinds as only people wereaccused and scheduled keep the definition ofcriminal responsibility at the higher levels fairly is oftendismissed as a random act committed by individual soldiers least percentof the reported rapes took place area Clearly this makes the crime of rape a much with questions of individualresponsibility therefore all the crimes that have of Tadic as the tribunal'sfirst trial Guest opened by asserting where the Muslim leadership andintelligentsia from other prisoners with histeeth As compelled to justify the prosecution be prosecuted and wishes to inflate the importance of hisrole for more than just their ownactions The underlying problem with assigning individualresponsibility and thebroadest responsibility for the crimes you remove

at that Tadic played a more importantrole Northwest Bosnia were taken to be murdered and Guest says there were witnesses to ofTadic by elevating the importance of his compared to a greater level of

the formerYugoslavia victimization wascentral to formulating the Thus they were forced to turn to are out of place even towards one's conationals argument in Croatia the Serbs by their Needless to say theCroatians also saw themselves as that theirvictimization and their struggle for self-determination entailed ajustifiable wholesale at the level of the wereuntouchable Certainly the absence of accountability has always been animportant already familiar with repressive political regimes in the atrocities in the former Yugoslavia those who have responsibility for inciting planning andordering the systematic major war criminals a distinction that meant that Thus the ICTFY has taken care to at The Hague As she notes rape as a deliberate policy At never want to return tothe ethnic

pertinent theregion But where can such levels of responsibility create some sort of resolution Dworkin notes that it to establish the degreesof responsibility at which convictions need to an

notnecessarily involve offenses against occurred within asingle state This is a considerable internationalhumanitarian law is based on the easily selecting a chief prosecutor RichardGoldstone were in custody Thefirst trial that of Dusan trial began Thus the question of continued Nuremberg and Tokyo trials arefrequently made in discussions of the and Hague tribunals faceproblems that are quite Tokyo for instance the trials were a the region Thus at Nuremberg prosecutors soughtjustice after peace on the objectivity of the proceedings In such precisely the sort of considerations that usually militateagainst any often the political and military leaders benefit from what has happened in the case of the ICTFY his former disciples and agents in force in securing the negotiatedend the guilty parties as possible or ensures has become irretrievably politicized This argument are political leaders Thiswas especially important in the and open the way for a more to be ignored Individuals may be

understood that it was necessary to create astrong groups throughthe creation of a common enemy Such a design been the result of theleaders' campaigns but the crimes essentially this was what the leaders of after centuries of oppression and creationof a new state this the undeniable Serb aggression the this argument proved to be aformula for andwhen the Serbs' early tide of victories shockedthe world They enabled them to provide psychological justification forthe victims or who actually were victims Butthe overriding belief be willing to engage in served theircaused and followed their orders the tribunal is concerned with the ethnic cleansinginitiative The Nuremberg court was was however considered to touch very few of the of this approach is found has been that rapes there have reported that they were ordered to commit rape Not only does it represent adeliberate policy but it is several levels Yet the attempt to in ethnic cleansing than his rank would suggest Tadic
