Until Tony Blair and Robin Cook became, respectively, Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom in 1997, four years after the ICTY was established, NATO troops in Bosnia failed to arrest indicted suspects even when they ran into them. By now, of course, 133 defendants from all parties to the wars in ex-Yugoslavia have appeared before the Tribunal, charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide.
在波斯尼亚的北约部队即使撞见了受到起诉的嫌疑犯都一直没有将他们逮捕，直到1997年布莱尔和库克分别担任英国首相和外相、前南国际刑事法庭建立四年之后局面才有所改变。当然，到目前为止，前南斯拉夫战争各方的133名被告都已经出庭，他们被控犯有战争罪、反人类罪甚至是种族屠杀。
