asked Her Majesty's Government:By what United Kingdom statute did the United Kingdom decide to participate in the activities of the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal. [HL1133]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal
The United Nations Act 1946 provides for measures to be taken in order to give effect to the United Kingdom's obligations under certain resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. An Order in Council (S.I. No. 716/1996) was made under the 1946 Act to implement Security Council Resolution 827 (1993), which established the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
