Backovic: I am not certain ICTY has accomplished its mission

NEW YORK - The UN Security Council on Wednesday held its final session on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which ends its 24-year mandate in December.

Addressing the UN SC members, Serbian envoy and Assistant Justice Minister Cedomir Backovic said he was not certain the Hague-based court had accomplished its mission even though its mandate was about to end.
