Abstract
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was created by the Security Council in 1993, that is, 47 years after the Nuremberg judgments were rendered. The new Tribunal was first praised as a revival of Nuremberg, a court where perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide could be tried and sentenced under fair procedures by impartial and independent judges of different nationalities.
