International Criminal Tribunal

The International Criminal Tribunal is a court established to prosecute individuals for serious crimes that affect the international community, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It operates independently and aims to hold responsible those who commit these offenses, ensuring justice for victims and deterring future crimes. The tribunals can be temporary, set up for specific conflicts (like Rwanda or the former Yugoslavia), or permanent institutions, like the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Their establishment reflects the global commitment to upholding human rights and promoting accountability in the international legal system.
