Rome, May 9th, 1997- Keeping in mind that after four years in existence the International Court on ex jugoslavia succeeded in arresting only eight of the seventy four people incriminated and that the actual conviction of Dusan Tadic is, after the Nuremburg Trials, the first sentence delivered by an international body of justice, Olivier Dupuis declared:

" The world can no longer pretend that these instruments of justice don't exist: the mandates for capture must be obeyed, trials must be just, and they must be timely. The United Nations must empower the ad hoc Tribunals, but also work quickly towards the realization of the International Criminal Court which will judge on crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocides. Only a court that is just, efficient, and international can bring an end to the impunity of criminals that is the other face of peace after war, as well as an encouraging factor to the criminals while the wars persist. This is a political decision of the type that would change the destiny of the world, and one which can no longer be delayed."
