Fair? I doubt Milosovic agrees with you, given that he refused to even recognize the legality of the court. And his status would also still be in doubt if found guilty - after all, who is to say some random country (Serbia) won't put him on trial afterwards?
This court is no more fair than any military tribunal; ask the US government... they won't support the new UN war crimes tribunal because of it.
And while we're on the subject - what is "fair" anyway? Fair for whom, and based upon which cultural system? Military courts would certainly be more fair than Sharia courts in former Afghanistan, for example. How do you know whether the inmates at G'bay wouldn't want a military trial? Hell, they might prefer an (unfair) Islamic court for all we know...
