Summary
With NATO not being passed in the UN and Canada still participating, things were beginning to become intense. And to add to that the Republic of Kosovo wanted independence from Serbia and so a Kosovo Liberation Army began rebelling and the Serbiand began an ethnic cleansing of driving out or killing those who were not orthodox. And when the UN reported that nearly 850,000 people had fled their homes, NATO stepped in, despite the UN voting against it. Bombing Yugoslavia, a member of the UN, was heavily criticized as well as for the number of civilian causalities. But the goals of the campaign were achieved: Withdrawal of all hostile military, police and paramilitary forces from Kosovo, the stationing of UN peacekeeping in Kosovo, the return of all refugees and building of a political framework for Kosovo. There was also a war between Serbia and Croatia, but despite Canadian peacekeeping the two Republics formed their own countries.
Both of these tribunals helped pave the way for the International Criminal Court which was set up in 1998 to charge those involved in crimes against humanity such as genocide, terrorism, or any attack directed against any civilian population.

USA voted against ICC
Summary
The introduction of both Rwandan and former Yugoslavian Criminal Tribunals influenced the creation of the International Criminal Court, which charges those guilty of crimes against humanity. All of these courts were introduced in order to bring those that had committed such crimes, to justice, because their actions affected all of society not just the people they targeted. The first to be charged was Slobodan Milosevic who was involved in the Kosovo ethnic cleansing. The chief prosecutor was a Canadian, Louis Arbour, and even though the US voted against it ICC has judged and convicted many people guilty of such immoral and gruesome crimes.
