The lawyers >presented what they believe to be compelling evidence of war crimes committed >by Nato in its bombing campaign against Yugoslavia. Arbour reaffirmed that >the tribunal has jurisdiction over any crimes committed by individual Nato >leaders in Yugoslavia and welcomed the submissions as useful to the Tribunal >in carrying out its mandate. Arbour did not disclose the nature of any >ongoing investigation of NATO crimes citing a firm rule of the Tribunal >against doing so before it is ready to announce an indictment. > >The lawyers charged Nato leaders with grave violations of international >criminal law in causing civilian death, injury and destruction.
