The plan to create a war crimes chamber within BiH's state court, which began in earnest in autumn 2003, was prompted by pressure on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to wrap up its work by 2010.
Plan za uspostavu odjela za ratne zločine unutar državnog suda BiH, koji je ozbiljno započeo s radom u jesen 2003. godine, potaknut je pritiskom na Međunarodni kazneni sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju (ICTY) za okončanje rada do 2010. godine.
