International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established by UN Security Council Resolution 827 (1993) as a response to serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991, and the threat to international peace and security which they posed.
The ICTY has authority to prosecute four categories of offences, committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991: grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide and crimes against humanity.
To date, 161 persons have been charged by the ICTY and proceedings
against 94 accused have concluded. An Irish lawyer, Judge Maureen
Harding Clarke has served as an ad litem judge on the
Tribunal.
