International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was a court established by the United Nations in 1994 to prosecute individuals responsible for serious crimes, including genocide, committed during the Rwandan Civil War. It aimed to deliver justice for atrocities like mass killings, sexual violence, and other violations of international law, ensuring accountability beyond national jurisdictions. The ICTR operated until 2015, contributing to international efforts to combat impunity and promote peace and justice in Rwanda and globally.
