and Hercegovina, 7 J. Int’l Crim. J. 463, 467 (2009). Here, as in other areas noted in this report,
more effective outreach efforts might have at least reduced unrealistic expectations of what the ICTY
could accomplish and directed attention to the institutions that were responsible for vetting police
and other public officials. One aspect of the ICTY’s early years might, moreover, have contributed
to the expectations of those who thought the Tribunal would prosecute virtually everyone who committed
wartime atrocities: As we describe in Chapter II, the Tribunal’s early indictments focused on
low-level perpetrators.

220. The principal organization that has worked to achieve this in Bosnia is the International
Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP). A member of its staff who has worked with many victims
told us that her perception is that the families of victims who were killed want “truth” as their
“number one” priority—“they want to know what happened and who did it”; and “justice” as their
“number two” priority. “Both are very important,” she added. Asta Zimbo, director, Civil Society
Initiatives Program, International Commission on Missing Persons, Dec. 6, 2006.
