Genocide Trial

A genocide trial is a legal proceeding where individuals accused of orchestrating or participating in genocide—deliberate acts to destroy a particular group—are brought to justice. It involves examining evidence, witnesses, and legal arguments to establish guilt or innocence based on international laws. These trials aim to hold perpetrators accountable, ensure justice for victims, and promote rule of law. Notable examples include the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which work to address crimes of mass violence and prevent future atrocities.
