 Dodd Calls for Continuation of War Crimes Office   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
"By maintaining an office dedicated solely to war crimes we signal the interest and concern of the United States in war crimes issues and are able to ensure that the ad hoc tribunals now functioning with respect to the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda receive the support they need," the Senators continued.
"If we lessen the status of the war crimes office while active tribunals are still functioning, we run the risk of sending the wrong message to alleged war criminals on trial, and increase the chance that members of the military and militia forces will feel empowered to commit future crimes."
Dodd, whose father, the late Senator Thomas J. Dodd, served as a prosecutor of Nazi war criminals at the international military tribunal in Nuremberg in 1945, has long pursued the establishment of an International Criminal Court to investigate and prosecute war crimes.
