Of course it's biased. Look at the judges - 90% of them are from NATO countries.
OK, there's a point. It would have been better to have Russian, Chinese, African and South American judges as well.
Of course it's biased. Courts are ALWAYS biased to reflect political orientations. From the Inquisition to modern day Italy (where Berlusconi has completely fucked up the legal system for his personal benefit).
So we might as well abolish the whole silly notion of independent judicial review? Trials are always scams designed to cover the actions of repressive state intervention with a veneer of plausible deniability? Judges are universally corrupt and submissive to the whims of shadowy political masters?
Of course it's biased. The ITCY will never bring to trial those who ordered and executed NATO bombings against civilian targets in Serbia - against the Geneva convention and without UN approval.
And that is relevant to whether Serbian indictees committed war crimes in which way, again?
Of course it's biased. Whereas a large portion of the Serb political and military LEADERSHIP has been indicted and convicted (or died in the process of), the same treatment was NEVER applied to Croats, Albanians or Muslims.

Of course it's biased. The ratio of indicted and convicted to civilian casualties from the 4 ethnic and/or religious groups STRONGLY SUGGEST that Serbs are getting the most severe treatment...
I completed a statistical analysis to test whether the difference between the means of the Serb data set and the non Serb data set was significant. The results indicated that, indeed, the means were significantly different with a 95% confidence interval.
No, it did not. It indicated that your understanding of statistics is significantly deficient, with a 95 % confidence interval.
Jake and Migeru have criticized this that and the other assumption, indicator, test used, etc. to demonstrate that in fact... what?
That you have not made a case.
What is it that you want to demonstrate? That the ICTY isn't biased?
That there has been no good evidence on display so far on ET that would indicate that the ICTY is significantly biased.
Is that what you believe? If yes, can you offer evidence to back your claim?
You're the one making a big production about that court.
