Both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)
are now about to close. Bachmann and Fatic look back at the
achievements and shortcomings of both tribunals from an
interdisciplinary perspective informed by sociology, political
science, history, and philosophy of law and based upon on two key
notions: the concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. The first asks
to what extent the input (creation) of, the ICTY and the ICTR can
be regarded as legitimate in light of the legal and public debate
in the early 1990s. The second confronts the output (the procedures
and decisions) of the ICTY and the ICTR with the tasks both
tribunals were assigned by the UN Security Council, the General
Assembly, and by key organs (the president and the chief
prosecutors). The authors investigate to what extent the ICTY and
the ICTR have delivered the expected results, whether they have
been able to contribute to 'the maintenance of peace',
'stabilization' of the conflict regions, or even managed to provide
'reconciliation' to Rwanda. Furthermore, the book is concerned with
how many criminals, over whom the ICTY and the ICTR wield
jurisdiction, have actually been prosecuted and at what cost.
Offering the first balanced and in depth analysis of the
International Criminal Tribunals, the volume provides an important
insight into what lessons have been learned, and how a deeper
understanding of the successes and failures can benefit the
international legal community in the future.
