Abstract
It is argued that the 'Final Report to the Prosecutor by the Committee Established to Review the NATO Bombing Campaign Against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia', 13 June 2000 was an inappropriate basis for assessing grave allegations against NATO personnel. Both 'general issues' and 'specific incidents' in the Report are analysed, raising important questions of law that were not appropriately or correctly dealt with. Ongoing and fresh comments and allegations regarding NATO's actions, such as those raised in the trial of Milosevic, serve to maintain and reinforce doubts on how the Prosecutor had dealt with them and has the effect of diminishing the credibility of the otherwise successful work of the International Criminal Tribunal of the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
