In particular, is its use of a temporary international criminal tribunal in the former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia an effective tool in resolving issues of human rights violations? I focus on the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina, where terrible violations of laws of war and human rights occurred in the 1990's. I have found that the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) has had some impressive successes due to the strong leadership of its Chief Prosecutor. However, the tribunal's effectiveness has been hampered by problems of custody of criminals, lack of resources, and dependence on cooperation from uncooperative states and NATO. These problems are part of the larger issues of state sovereignty, national interests, and balance of power that are barriers to its effectiveness.
The UN's use of the ICTY has been an example of the UN's growing and changing role that states are not ready for. The ICTY has struggled with problems resulting from die hard views of state sovereignty and national interests held by states. These views have had a detrimental effect on the UN's position in the balance of power, thereby reducing its effectiveness in resolving human rights violations issues. For the UN effective in its larger, more active role, states need to change ideas of state and national interests.
