The ICTY is a UN court, not a "Nato court." The UN
resolution that established the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) had the unanimous support of all UN
Security Council members, including Russia and China.

The ICTY's statute does not set a time limit to the court's mandate. It reports to the UN Security Council, which approves budgets and appointments. If Russia uses its veto to block the ICTY's
UN-funded budget after 2010, the court could continue to operate with donations from willing UN member states and from other donors.

In fact, it was thanks to
outside donations that the Tribunal managed to survive its difficult early years, when the UN did not allocate a budget sufficient to fund its operations. That could happen again.
