Subject: War Crimes on all sides, including NATO

In re Mary Robinson, Head of INHRC:
 Referring to the International Criminal Tribunal for former
   Yugoslavia, she told the Commission: "Under the tribunal's statute,
   the prosecutor may investigate war crimes committed by any of the
   parties to the armed conflict.

   "The actions of individuals belonging to Serb forces, the Kosovo
   Liberation Army (KLA), or Nato may therefore come under scrutiny, if
   it appears that serious violations of international humanitarian law
   have occurred," she added.
   
  Mrs Robinson said the passage referring to potential war crime
   indictments, including Nato officials, was taken from a letter from
   Louise Arbour, chief prosecutor of the Hague-based tribunal.
