	Joining the Supremes - Interim, August 1999
		Louise Arbour, the prime minister's latest appointee to the Supreme Court of Canada, is a darling of Canada's liberal legal establishment, which, along with the mainstream media in this country, seems to be strongly supportive of the appointment.
		Arbour's reputation for being openly political, even when her behaviour risks undermining the reputation she needs to operate effectively in the courts, extends to the international sphere.
		How Louise Arbour handles herself at the Supreme Court of Canada remains to be seen, but her legacy thus far does not give pro-family forces much hope when it comes to future court rulings.

		Louise Arbour, top prosecutor at the UN's two ad hoc courts, said Friday that her sudden indictment of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic and three other Serbian leaders was not spurred by the fear that the alleged war criminals might bargain for personal amnesty in their impending peace agreement with NATO.
		Arbour denied that political pressure guided her decisions about when to issue the indictment, but admitted that her office has received more assistance in recent months from those with a political interest in dispensing of the Yugoslav leader.
		Arbour told reports in a press conference that she "did not rule out" the possibility of prosecuting NATO troops for war crimes, and said that she felt strongly that she should investigate the human rights abuses of the RPF, currently in power in Rwanda.

	Louise Arbour -- Unindicted War Criminal
		Arbour's and the Tribunal's intervention declaring the Serb leadership to be guilty of war crimes was a public relations coup that justified the NATO policies and helped permit the bombing to continue and escalate.
		So Arbour not only admitted awareness of the political significance of her indictment, she suggested that her possible interference with any diplomatic efforts was justified because the indicted individuals, though not yet found guilty, are not suitable to negotiate.
		Arbour has claimed that the Tribunal was "subject to extremely stringent rules of evidence with respect to the admissibility and the credibility of the product that we will tender in court" so that she was guarded against "unsubstantiated, unverifiable, uncorroborated allegations" (April 20).

	Canada's Supreme Court Judge Louise Arbour Speaks on UN Tribunal for Rwanda
		Canada's Supreme Court Judge Louise Arbour was in Paris recently where she delivered a key note address on her reflections about the International Court of Justice basing her views on the Stakes, Challenges, Hope and Realism of the New Justice system that came into effect on July 1 2002.
		Arbour: The Question of the role of the plane crash in the triggering of the genocide is a very complex matter, it situates itself in the mandate of the Tribunal but it is not necessarily clear that this event [the plane attack] in itself constitutes a crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.
		Arbour: Well, the question is not about what the UN has recognised, there is no question that there is a link between these events but where it situates itself exactly in the mandate of the Tribunal and what investigative work was possible and achieved is not something I can comment on.

		So Arbour not only understood the political significance of her indictment, she suggested that interference with diplomatic efforts was justified because the indicted individuals, though not yet found guilty, were not suitable to negotiate.
		In 1996 Arbour met with the Secretary-General of NATO and its supreme commander to "establish contacts and begin discussing modalities of cooperation and assistance." Numerous other meetings have occurred between prosecutor and NATO, which was given the function of Tribunal gendarme.
		Arbour's April 20 reference to the "morality of the [NATO] enterprise" and her remarks on Milosevic's possible lack of character disqualifying him from negotiations, as well as her rush to help NATO with an indictment, point to quite clearly understood political service.
