HL Deb 24 November 1997 vol 583 c98WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they agree with the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Judge Antonio Cassese, who told the United Nations General Assembly on 4 November that "our most crucial and urgent problem is the need for more arrests of military or political leaders"; and, if so, what additional power or resources they believe S-FOR should have to enable them to speed up the arrests.

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

We fully support the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and have always stressed the importance of bringing to justice all those responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law in the former Yugoslavia. We demand that the responsible authorities surrender all indictees to The Hague.
