前南斯拉夫问题国际法庭（前南问题国际法庭）存在的体系问题是，它是在某种特定的政治背景下设立的，进而染上司法以政治目的为动机的最恶劣特点。其判决的统计数据和内容鲜明地证实：在巴尔干争端的一团乱麻中，哪一方被蓄意宣判有罪。我们应该记得那些年对前南问题国际法庭无罪推定这一标准原则的冷嘲热讽，即：所有人均假定为无罪，直到被证明是塞族人。
The systemic problem of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was that having been established in a specific political context, it went on to embrace the worst features of politically driven justice. The statistics and content of its judgments are a stark testament to which side in the tangle of disputes in the Balkans was deliberately pronounced guilty. We should remember the cruel irony of those years regarding the status of the standard principle of the presumption of innocence in the ICTY, which was that everyone is presumed innocent until proven to be a Serb.
