With the establishment of the
Yugoslav and Rwanda Tribunal the international community was confronted
with the problems facing the tribunal in respect of the tracing of
suspected war criminals and foremost the great difficulty lying in the
fact that this new form of international criminal procedure may well have
a public prosecutor, a court of law and a prison, but it has no police
force. If we refer to cases such as those of Dokmanovic, Todorovic and
Milosevic, the complexity of the issue of arresting such suspects becomes
readily apparent. Firstly, there are major political and institutional
issues. Secondly, there are legal problems in the area of the rights of
the accused. Thirdly, there are operational difficulties in relation both
to the effectiveness of operations and the security of the units involved.
Furthermore, in concrete arrest operations it is extremely difficult to
uphold, in a well considered manner, all of the legitimate interests which
hide behind these issues, problems and difficulties.
In this book several authors
discuss many issues;
Present and future record of
arresting war criminals; The view of the Public Prosecutor of ICTY;

This unique collection explores
not only the formal constraints on the conduct of war throughout Western
history but also the unwritten conventions about what is permissible in
the course of military operations. Ranging from classical antiquity to the
present, the authors discuss the legal and cultural regulation of violence
in such areas as belligerent rights, the treatment of prisoners and
civilians, the observing of truces and immunities, the use of particular
weapons, siege warfare, codes of honour, and war crimes. This book in not
just another collection of documents. By comparing all publications on
this subject from the 19th century up
to now and adding hard
to find documents the
editors have made a unique collection of documents and background
information. Some special documents, seldom published together, are
reproduced. This book is a valuable source for anyone studying
International Law, Humanitarian Law and Laws of War.
