Rwanda (ICTR)

The Rwanda International Criminal Tribunal (ICTR) was a court established by the United Nations in 1994 to prosecute individuals responsible for serious crimes during the Rwandan genocide, where around 800,000 people were killed. It aimed to deliver justice for crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The ICTR operated until 2015, when its remaining functions transitioned to a new national tribunal in Rwanda. Its work helped to hold perpetrators accountable, promote reconciliation, and strengthen international efforts to prevent and address mass atrocities.
