Tribunal pénal international

The International Criminal Tribunal (Tribunal pénal international) is a court established by the international community to prosecute individuals for serious crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Its purpose is to ensure justice for victims, hold perpetrators accountable, and promote international peace and security. These tribunals operate independently from national courts and apply international law, often focusing on conflicts or atrocities that extend beyond a single country. They serve as a crucial mechanism for accountability when national justice systems are unable or unwilling to prosecute such offenses.
