Recently, the United Nations Security Council established an International Tribunal1 to prosecute violators of international human rights standards in the former Yugoslavia.2 While this is a positive step in the development of international law, it is unclear whether the War Crimes Tribunal will be able to fulfill its mandate. This article contends that the Tribunal will face significant obstacles in attempting to gain custody of the individuals it wishes to prosecute and argues that only through the stringent efforts of the international community will it succeed in bringing war criminals to justice
