| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Frederik Harhoff, a justice at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), recently charged that the American presiding judge at the tribunal pressured his colleagues to overturn decisions related to war crimes-cases in Croatia and Serbia. Harhoff's allegations subsequently triggered a number of similar accusations of political interference by tribunal insiders and observers. All of this reinforced what many observers have claimed throughout the ICTY's twenty-year existence-that to unacceptable degrees, the tribunal's work is determined not by impartial standards of justice, but by the great powers' political interests. |
