DEADLINE URGED ON TRIBUNALS.(MAIN)

Byline: ELIZABETH NEUFFER Boston Globe

UNITED NATIONS -- The Bush administration Thursday urged two U.N. war crimes tribunals -- including the genocide trial of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic -- to focus on their ``endgame'' and conclude work by 2008.

The U.S. ambassador for war crimes issues, Pierre Prosper, told members of Congress that the tribunals had at times suffered from mismanagement and inefficiency that often had challenged ``the integrity of the process.'' Despite progress in both tribunals, Prosper said the administration was pressuring countries to cooperate so the tribunals could deliver justice in a ``timely fashion.''
