War Crimes Tribunal

A War Crimes Tribunal is a legal body that prosecutes individuals for serious violations of international law committed during armed conflicts. These crimes include genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Such tribunals aim to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities and ensure justice for victims. They can be established by international organizations, like the United Nations, or through specific agreements among countries. Notable examples include the Nuremberg Trials after World War II and the International Criminal Court. These tribunals seek to promote peace, deter future crimes, and uphold human rights standards on a global scale.
