§ Lord Hardy of Wathasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many people from the former Republic of Yugoslavia have been indicted as war criminals; and how many of these have been taken into custody. [HL3562]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has publicly indicted 90 individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. In addition, it has issued an undisclosed number of "sealed" indictments.
Of the 90 indictees, six have since died; 18 have had charges against them dropped; and one is serving his sentence. Twenty-eight of the remaining 65 indictees are in the tribunal's custody, including six persons whose convictions are under appeal.
In addition, domestic courts in former Yugoslavia have brought some prosecutions against persons accused of having committed atrocities.
