As documented by the International Center for Transitional Justice, the U.S. insisted that the war-crimes trials would follow "an Iraqi-led" process. Though the U.S. said it welcomed international participation in the trials, Administration officials pointedly ruled out th e idea of creating international courts modeled on the U.N.-run tribunals for Rwanda (based in Tanzania) and the former Yugoslavia (based in the Hague.)
