THE HAGUE, Netherlands ? Legal experts are hailing the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal as a trailblazing institution that will underpin global efforts to end impunity long after it closes its doors.
The court is aiming to close in 2014. Analysts say legal precedents set during dozens of trials will live on at the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal, the International Criminal Court.
Alison Cole, of rights group the Open Society Justice Initiative, told a conference Tuesday the tribunal "led the way in forging a new path to justice."
Greeted with skepticism when it was established by the Security Council in 1993 with war still raging in the Balkans, the tribunal has taken into custody all 161 suspects it indicted, including key political and military leaders.
