Multinational Conflict Management

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the devastating military conflicts of the Twentieth Century, the resultant carnage and economic destruction have caused a re-thinking that war should no longer be a major policy instrument. The paper then relates the development of multinational courts to manage the conflict of war. However, these world courts, the paper states, raise issues of frivolous prosecution and an inconsistency of norms of behavior, which are dangerous for individuals acting under different laws. The paper concludes that, when individual governments refuse to hold their citizens accountable, the world courts remain a way to achieve equity among the nations.

From the Paper:

"The trial of Slobodan Milosevic, president of what remained of the former Yugoslavia, represented the second major attempt at an international criminal prosecution of violations of norms of human and civil rights. Milosevic's trial was also the first to be carried out in accord with the principles of the Treaty of Rome. The United States, an original signatory of Rome, was instrumental in seeing that Milosevic was brought to justice. It was the United States, under President Clinton, that led the NATO coalition against the Serbs."
