Europe pursuing foreign war criminals

In a report on interviews it had with judges, investigators, lawyers and officials in eight European countries, Human Rights Watch said governments in Britain, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands have created special war crimes units to conduct investigations across the globe.

The agency also noted those opposed to the concept, such as the Bush administration, say it can be misused against US officials and service personnel. But it said universal jurisdiction is an effective road to justice for victims who have nowhere else to go.
