Abstract
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY, composed of Serbia and Montenegro) provides another telling illustration of the flaws of the rogue state doctrine. In the 1990s Yugoslavia richly deserved the designation of a rogue state and was in fact treated as such by the US – yet Yugoslavia was excluded from Washington’s core group of rogues. True, the FRY did not pursue WMD or engage in international terrorism, two cardinal sins of rogues, but its behaviour at home and in its immediate neighbourhood violated settled, high-consensus international norms. This conduct, together with the international adversity it provoked, made Yugoslavia a full-fledged member of the league of deviant states.
