Tribunal Penal Internacional para la ex Yugoslavia

The Tribunal Penal Internacional para la ex Yugoslavia (ICTY) was an international court established by the United Nations in 1993 to prosecute individuals responsible for serious crimes committed during the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. It focused on crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Its goal was to deliver justice for victims and promote accountability for leaders and military personnel involved in atrocities like those in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo. The ICTY operated until 2017, contributing significantly to international justice and the development of laws regarding crimes in armed conflict.
