Peace vs. Accountability in BosniaAnthony D'AmatoNorthwestern University - School of Law January 31, 2011 American Journal of International Law, Vol. 88, p. 500, 1994 Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 11-15 Abstract: Hovering over the peace negotiations in progress in former Yugoslavia is the international community’s determination to bring to trial as war criminals those political and military leaders responsible for atrocities in Bosnia. The question clearly presented is that, however desirable the idea of war crimes accountability might appear in the abstract, pursuing the goal of a war crimes tribunal may simply result in prolonging a war of civilian atrocities. Is it not conceivable that, in return for securing a peace treaty, the UN officials may have extended some assurance to the leaders in former Yugoslavia that, one way or another, war crimes trials will not take place?
