HC Deb 20 July 1998 vol 316 c428W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on progress towards the detention of suspected war criminals in the former Yugoslavia. [49585]

Mr. George Robertson

Nine people indicted for war crimes have been detained in Bosnia by SFOR. Seven of these detentions took place in the British-commanded sector, and involved British SFOR forces, either directly or in support. A further fifteen indictees have surrendered voluntarily to the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.
