Title: Yugoslavia War Crimes Tribunal: Current Issues for Congress
Authors: Julie Kim, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: Congress has not had to consider ratification of U.S. participation in the Yugoslavia Tribunal, since it was not established by treaty, and in general has been supportive of the Yugoslavia Tribunal's activities. With many Members of Congress either vehemently opposed to or wary of the International Criminal Court, some observers have expressed concern that any debate in Congress about the ICC might have an adverse effect on future congressional support for the operations of the Yugoslavia Tribunal.
