War Crime Tribunals

War crime tribunals are judicial processes established to investigate, prosecute, and punish individuals responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law during armed conflicts, such as genocide, torture, and crimes against civilians. They operate under international or national legal frameworks to ensure accountability and justice for victims. These tribunals seek to uphold the rule of law, deter future offenses, and promote accountability by providing a fair trial for accused individuals, often involving evidence collection and legal proceedings. Examples include the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court.
