Read those websites from the Balkans, they bust people from all-sides practically every day for those wars in the early to mid 1990s. This is not to single out one nationality.  And at least, the government of Croatia, not some international tribunal is doing this.

Croatia Tries Soldier for Operation Storm Killings

Fifty-nine-year-old pensioner Rajko Krickovic’s trial started at the county court in the coastal city of Rijeka on Monday, with the ex-soldier accused of shooting 73-year-old Mara Sovilj and her 43-year-old son Radomir, and killing his 45-year-old sister Mira by burning her alive in their house in the village of Kijani near Gracac in the central Lika region.
