THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA

Bringing war criminals to justice. Bringing justice to victims.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is a United Nations court of law dealing with war crimes that took place during the conflicts in the Balkans in the 1990’s. Since its establishment in 1993 it has irreversibly changed the landscape of international humanitarian law and provided victims an opportunity to voice the horrors they witnessed and experienced.

In its precedent-setting decisions on genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, the Tribunal has shown that an individual’s senior position can no longer protect them from prosecution.

It has now shown that those suspected of bearing the greatest responsibility for atrocities committed can be called to account, as well as that guilt should be individualised, protecting entire communities from being labelled as “collectively responsible”.

The Tribunal has laid the foundations for what is now the accepted norm for conflict resolution and post-conflict development across the globe, specifically that leaders suspected of mass crimes will face justice. The Tribunal has proved that efficient and transparent international justice is possible.

After the General Assembly and Elections that was held in Brussels on March 15, 2019, the new members of the Council and the Executive Committee were elected.

The following have joined the Council:

  • Basmah Alsaif (Kuwait)
  • Dragos Chilea (Romania)
  • Jaume Antich (Spain)
  • Pierre Kopp (Israel)
  • Nayma El Quazani Santi (Ecuador)
  • Ken Gallant (USA)
  • Juan Carlos Gutiérrez (Venezuela)
  • Il.lustre Colegi de l’Advocacia de Barcelona (Spain) renews its position
  • Illustrious Bar Association of Malaga (Spain)
  • Arab Lawyers Union (Egypt)
  • Unione de la Camere Penali (Italy) renews its position
  • Asociación Juristas de Iberoamérica (ASJURIB) (Spain)
  • Fondation Congolaise Pour la Promotion des Droits Humains et la Paix (FOCDP) (Democratic Republic of the Congo).

And the new Executive Committee consists of:

  • President Dragos Chilea (Romania)
  • Vice President Abouba Ali Maiga (Mali)
  • Secretary General Jaume Antich (Spain)
  • Treasurer Antonia Rocha (Spain)
  • Ken Gallant (USA)
  • Pierre Kopp (Israel)
  • Nguyen Dang Trung (Vietnam)
