The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)[1] was a body established to prosecute the war crimes that had been committed during the Yugoslav Wars and to try their perpetrators. Formally a body of the United Nations, it was heavily dominated by NATO war participants. The tribunal was located in The Hague, Netherlands.
William Blum and others accused the court of having a pro-NATO bias due to its refusal to prosecute NATO officials and politicians for war crimes.[2]
Many later deep state actors, especially the ones working the human rights angle, have had an internship or similar with the court.

Some deep state operatives
"Legal" basis
It was established by the UN Security Council Resolution 827, in May 1993.[3] By doing so, the UN Security Council usurped the legislative and judicial powers it simply did not possess, and even empowered the tribunal to write its own rules and laws.[4]
Theoretically impartial and independent, in practice the tribunal has been funded by the US and its allies and relied on NATO for arrests and enforcement.[5]
Deaths
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic mysteriously passed away in March 2006, before the conclusion of his process. Just a few days prior, another ethnic Serb politician, Milan Babic, allegedly committed suicide at the Scheveningen jail.[6]
In October 2015, Serbian forensic pathologist Dusan Dunjic was found dead in his hotel room in The Hague. The cause of his death was quickly ruled natural.[7] Dunjic was a defense witness in the process against the Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic.
In 2017, the ICTY rejected the appeal of General Slobodan Praljak, who had been sentenced to 20 years in prison. He then took a vial of poison from his pocket, drank it, and passed out. He later died in hospital. There has been no explanation how Praljak obtained the poison, or how he was able to bring it into the courtroom.[8]
CIA assets "on trial"
Some Serbs were protected and released by ICTY, in various moments, since they were Western assets in Serbia. Some of those who were sent to The Hague Tribunal in order to be protected were Jovica Stanišić[9] and Momčilo Perišić.[10]Their stay in prison and even more their acquittal, helped in building the image of the tribunal as a impartial and lawful institution.[11]
