The European Court of Human Rights ruledthat Britain s ban on homosexuals in the armed forces violates the rightto privacy, contravening Article 8 of the European Convention on HumanRights. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslaviaindicted Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic during a NATO bombingcampaign to force Yugoslav forces out of Kosovo. Milosevic remains inplace in Belgrade, but Austrian police, bearing a secret indictment fromthe International Criminal Tribunal, arrested a Bosnian Serb general whowas attending a conference in Vienna. In economic affairs the World TradeOrganization(WTO) Appellate Body found in favor of the United States andagainst the European Union (EU) regarding European discriminationagainst certain Latin American banana exporters.
