The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) struggled to apprehend and try high-profile defendants like
the Serbian leader Slobodan Milo evi, and often received more
criticism than praise. This volume argues that the underappreciated
court has in fact made a substantial contribution to Bosnia and
Herzegovina s transition to democracy. Based on more than three
years of field research and several hundred interviews, this study
brings together multiple research methods, including surveys,
ethnography, and archival materials, to show the court s impact on
five segments of Bosnian society, emphasizing the role of the
social setting in translating international law in domestic
contexts. Much of the early rhetoric about the transformative
potential of international criminal law helped foster unrealistic
expectations that institutions like the ICTY could not meet, but
judged by more realistic standards, international law is seen to
play a modest yet important role in postwar transitions. The
findings of this study have implications for the study of
international courts around the world and the role law plays in
contributing to social change.
