International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia fr

General introduction
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established by Security Council resolution 827. This resolution was passed on 25 May 1993 in the face of the serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia from 1991, and as a response to the threat to international peace and security posed by those serious violations.

Since its inception, the Tribunal has become a fully operational legal institution rendering judgements and setting important precedents of international criminal and humanitarian law. Many legal issues now adjudicated by the Tribunal have never actually been adjudicated or have lain dormant since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials.

The Security Council approved a Completion Strategy envisaging the conclusion of investigations into new indictments by the end of 2004, the conclusion of trials at first instance by the end of 2008, and the conclusion of appeals – hence closure – by the end of 2010.
