International Criminal Tribunal

In the 1990s, the United Nations created two International Criminal Tribunals (ICTs) to try the perpetrators of mass atrocities in both Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (1993) and Rwanda (1994). The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was the first international criminal tribunal since Nuremberg and the first ever mandated to prosecute the crime of genocide.
