International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was a United Nations court of law that between 1993 and 2017 dealt with war crimes that took place during the conflicts in the Balkans in the 1990s. It was created by United Nations Security Council Resolution 827. In accordance with its Statute, the ICTY has jurisdiction over the territory of the former Yugoslavia from 1991 onwards. Although the ICTY and national courts have concurrent jurisdiction over serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the former Yugoslavia, the ICTY can claim primacy and may take over national investigations and proceedings at any stage if this proves to be in the interest of international justice. It can also refer its cases to competent national authorities in the former Yugoslavia. 

The Tribunal has authority to prosecute and try individuals on four categories of offences: grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide and crimes against humanity.

This page contains the cases against 161 individuals initiated at the ICTY, including the 93 sentenced, 18 acquitted, 13 referred to national jurisdictions, 20 with the indictment withdrawn, and 17 who died during the proceedings. Additionally, it also contains 25 contempt cases.
