NATO dominated court established to justify own actions and keep control over Western Balkans region. |
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 using the human rights angle, have had some internship or similar with the court.
