asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there are any plans to review the future work of the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia. [HL4685]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The future work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is set out in its completion strategy, on which the ICTY reports at six monthly intervals to the United Nations Security Council. The next report is expected later this month when there will be a discussion of the future work of the ICTY.

Lord Astor of Hever

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What representations they have received from the United States Administration regarding the future of the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia. [HL4686]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The United States has made no direct representations to the United Kingdom regarding the future of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). However, we regularly discuss the ICTY with the US in the Security Council and other bilateral and multilateral fora.

The ICTY has an agreed completion strategy on which it reports regularly to the United Nations Security Council.
