Progress and jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
Article Abstract:
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was set up by the UN Security Council in May 1993 to prosecute suspected war criminals in what had been the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the 1990s. After a period of organization, the first ICTY trial of a suspected war criminal ended in conviction in May 1997. Though criticized for failing to deter further atrocities, the ICTY has achieved great progress in international humanitarian law.
