ABSTRACT
These tribunals have really broken ground. In a sense that you have these conventions and treaties and things like that sitting up there on the shelves gathering dust and we took them off, dusted them off, put them into the Statutes that create the two tribunals; and the judges have now applied them in real fact situations, so you have a development that is extraordinarily important and I don’t think that the International Criminal Court will ignore it. I think they may differ in the future on interpretations, but they’ve got a hugely valuable body of law to apply.
