Simonovic was a host to a group of representatives of some 200
leading world law libraries.
The International Association of Law Libraries is holding a session
at the Yale University Law School this week and its participants
yesterday visited the UN headquarters.
Simonovic spoke to the librarians about the importance of justice
in the establishment of peace in formerly war-affected societies.
Commenting on the work of ad hoc international courts such as those
for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, Simonovic touched upon the
"Bobetko case".
He said that the ICTY and the ICTR had an important task of assisting
the development of the rule of law avoiding in the process effects
which could destabilise certain societies.
