Duško Tadic a/k//a/ ‘Dule’, International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia Since 1991, Case No. IT–94–1–T, 7 May 1997, para. 9, p. 4.

10. One observation that can be made, however, is that although the Tribunal has cited Bassiouni's book on Crimes Against Humanity (see n. 1 above) in its Opinion and Judgment in the trial of Tadic (see n. 6 above), the Tribunal has not cited the current book. That, of course, does not mean that various members of the Tribunal have not considered the book.

13. At p. 215, Bassiouni discusses the judicial independence of the Tribunal without considering the implications of the creation of the Tribunal by executive decision. Later, (see p. 251) when Bassiouni considers the likely prospects for the Council's continued support for the Tribunal, he does not discuss the undesirable possibility of the Council terminating the work of the Tribunal by another resolution, even if the Tribunal is acting in a highly effective manner.
