THE HAGUE/ZAGREB, Jan 14 (Hina) - The Hague-based U.N. war crimes tribunal has again issued warrants for the arrest and extradition of 12 former members of the army and police of the Bosnian Serb entity, accused of genocide and war
crimes in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The difference between earlier and the new warrants is the fact that the latter have been forwarded to all UN member-states.

On 10 December 2003 the prosecution of the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) asked the tribunal to
re-issue arrest warrants for 12 indictees who were on the run. The
previous warrants for their arrest were issued together with their
indictments but the documents were sent only to a certain country and
did not refer to all UN members.
The warrants authorise all UN members to search for, apprehend and
detain the indictees and transfer them to the ICTY in The Hague.
