Formed in 1993 in the aftermath of the Balkan War and as part of a UN-lead effort to bring to justice those suspected of war atrocities and human rights violations, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has seen its role evolve as its mandate winds down in 2012.
Osnovan 1993. godine, posle balkanskih ratova i u sklopu napora predvođenih UN-om da se privedu pravdi osumnjičeni za ratne zločine i kršenje ljudskih prava, uloga Međunarodnog krivičnog suda za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ) razvila se i šire pred okončanje njegovog mandata 2012. godine.
