Tokom nekoliko dana uţasa, više od 8.000 muškaraca i dječaka, bosanskih Muslimana, odvedeni su u zatočeničke objekte, zlostavljani, mučeni i pogubljeni.
Dok su njihova tijela padala u masovne grobnice, mašinerija poricanja ovih zločina je stavljena u pogon.
Međunarodni krivični sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju, ili MKSJ, istraţio je ove zločine, vodio krivične postupke i izrekao presude za njih.
In breaking new ground as the first tribunal of its kind since the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials after World War II, the ICTY has accumulated a wealth of practical knowledge and experience which is of significant value to other international criminal courts and tribunals.
This panel will provide an opportunity to discuss the Tribunal’s pioneering efforts and practical impact, and to debate the most important lessons that can be learnt by other international criminal courts and tribunals. Following some introductory remarks from the moderator, the panel will address various substantive areas in turn, allowing each panellist to share reflections on how their unique respective experiences with the ICTY were carried forward to other institutions.
At the end of the session there will be time for questions from the audience.

In a few horrific days, more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim boys and men were taken to places of detention, abused, tortured and then executed.
As their bodies fell into mass graves, the machinery of denial of those crimes was set into motion.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia-commonly referred to as the ICTY, investigated, prosecuted and passed judgement on those crimes.
This film tells that story.

This documentary provides an overview of the Tribunal’s achievements in this field of international criminal law.
Address by Saskia Bruines, Deputy Mayor for Knowledge Economy, International Affairs, Youth and Education, City of The Hague, on ‘Contemporary relevance of international courts and tribunals after the ICTY’ Remarks by Judge Carmel Agius, President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Remarks by Carsten Stahn, Professor of International Criminal Law and Global Justice and Programme Director of the Grotius Centre, Leiden UniversityPanel III: Discussion on ICTY’s Contribution to International Criminal LawInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2018-01-02 | The Tribunal has made enormous contributions to the development of international criminal law and international humanitarian law, not only through its jurisprudence but also its procedure and practice. In many ways, it was tasked with “filling the gaps” in its own Statute, as well as in the international community’s understanding of certain crimes and modes of criminal liability. These contributions can be broadly organised into three sub-topics. First, the ICTY has been a pioneer in defining modes of criminal responsibility. Second, the Tribunal has fleshed out the elements of several crimes under international law, clarifying various definitions and the factual scenarios in which they apply. Third, the ICTY has made significant achievements in relation to international criminal procedure. For each sub-topic, two panel members will have a moderated discussion contrasting different aspects of these contributions to international criminal law.

In breaking new ground as the first tribunal of its kind since the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials after World War II, the ICTY has accumulated a wealth of practical knowledge and experience which is of significant value to other international criminal courts and tribunals. This panel will provide an opportunity to discuss the Tribunal’s pioneering efforts and practical impact, and to debate the most important lessons that can be learnt by other international criminal courts and tribunals.

The first of these is the Tribunal’s mandate, namely what it was meant to achieve in the region – and conversely what it was not meant to achieve and never could have achieved, given its nature as a court of law and how to better manage expectations of affected communities. Second, with reference to the experience of the ICTY, the panel will discuss the nature and extent of the contribution that an international court or tribunal is capable of making in creating an historical record and thereby preventing denial of the facts. Finally, the panel will discuss the ICTY’s experience and contribution to the region through cooperation with national authorities and legal systems, referral of cases, enforcement of arrest warrants, and capacity building.

Each speaker will deliver a short but emphatic statement on the importance of international criminal courts and tribunals – particularly in today’s political climate – and the significance of the ICTY’s work on a global level. This panel event will be an opportunity for speakers to offer ideas and reflections that may serve as inspiration for the future, going beyond the field of law. This will be a truly inspirational and impactful end to the day’s events, and a fitting way to conclude the last ever symposium to be hosted by the Tribunal.

It will leave behind a rich legacy not only for the region of the former Yugoslavia but also for other international courts and tribunals, many of which are located in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Throughout the years the Tribunal has benefited from the generous support of many United Nations Member States, including in particular the Host State, the Kingdom of The Netherlands. In 1993 when the ICTY was established, it was a bold experiment in international justice. It is with great pride that we can look back today and say that – despite the numerous challenges – this experiment has been an unexpected success and, in the words of President Agius, the ICTY “will continue to serve as a reminder of what is possible in the fight against impunity”.
As the last in a series of events entitled ICTY Legacy Dialogues, the official Closing Ceremony promises to be very special and indeed an historic occasion. The ICTY is looking forward to marking this event together with many of its contributors and supporters, as well as other illustrious guests. We are particularly honoured that representatives from countries from the region of the former Yugoslavia will be joining us, and it is our sincere hope that the Tribunal’s legacy will contribute to a lasting peace in the region and continue to inspire the work of other courts and tribunals in this field.
Attendees The Tribunal’s official Closing Ceremony will be a high-level event attended by representatives of States, courts, international and regional organisations, and members of civil society. His Majesty King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres will grace us with their presence, along with other special guests. The Tribunal has also invited all former ICTY Judges, Prosecutors, and Registrars, as well as a number of staff members, to attend this historic occasion.
The Venue It is a tremendous honour for the Tribunal that its official Closing Ceremony will be held at the Hall of Knights (Ridderzaal) at the Binnenhof in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Justice At Work, the first in a series of ICTY's documentaries is a rich and informative presentation about the inception and inner workings of the world's first truly international Tribunal. The film presents the circumstances surrounding the Tribunal's establishment by the United Nations Security Council and its evolution into a ground breaking legal institution that has become the model for other Tribunals to follow. Featuring International Judges and officials of the ICTY, Justice At Work details the the structure, investigations, trials and judgements that have formed the most complete record of events that befell the peoples of the former Yugoslavia.IIHL Roundtable, “The Contribution of the ICTY to IHL”, Sanremo, Italy, 8 September 2017International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2017-09-18 | The International Institute of Humanitarian Law (IIHL), in co-operation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), hosted the 40th Roundtable on Current Issues of International Humanitarian Law from 7 to 9 September 2017 in Sanremo, Italy, marking the 40th anniversary of the 1977 Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions.
The Roundtable comprised three days of panel discussions on international humanitarian law (IHL) and the Additional Protocols, on topics including the conduct of hostilities, treatment of persons deprived of their liberty, and sexual and gender-based violence in armed conflict.
In a panel dedicated to “The Contribution of the ICTY to IHL”, ICTY Vice-President Judge Liu Daqun and Judge Fausto Pocar, current President of IIHL and Judge of the ICTY Appeals Chamber, were joined by Professor Patricia Sellers Viseur, advisor to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and former staff member in the ICTY Office of the Prosecutor, and Dr Suzannah Linton, a Distinguished Professor at Zhejiang Gongshang University's Law School and a former staff member in the ICTY Chambers.
Moderated by ICTY Registrar John Hocking, the distinguished panelists discussed different facets of the ICTY’s legacy in respect of IHL and the Additional Protocols. Reflecting on this, Registrar Hocking stated that: “With its groundbreaking rulings - from wartime sexual violence to cultural heritage destruction - the ICTY has inspired and given durable tools to courts, policy makers and civil society all over the world, which today make the ICTY’s legacy immortal and the global fight for justice irreversible. Among these tools is the ICTY’s pioneering contribution to the development of international humanitarian law.”
In a dynamic discussion, Judge Liu delved into the ICTY’s relevant jurisprudence, emphasizing that “the ICTY has significantly contributed to the application of the Additional Protocols and more broadly the development and understanding of international humanitarian law”. In this respect also, Judge Pocar noted that “One of its greatest achievements has been to apply the grave breaches regime not only to crimes committed in international, but also to the violations committed in non-international armed conflicts, expanding its application beyond Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I, and thus contributing to a coherent and consistent system of international criminal law with respect to armed conflicts and in international humanitarian law."
Professor Sellers assessed the ICTY’s significant contributions in prosecuting sexual violence, particularly rape, during armed conflict, as well as the way a gender analysis has driven genocide jurisprudence over the life of the Tribunal. Finally, Professor Linton illuminated the impact of the ICTY’s jurisprudence regarding IHL and the Additional Protocols on hybrid courts and domestic trials, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
This panel discussion is part of the ICTY Legacy Dialogues series of legacy and closing events, aimed at ensuring that the Tribunal’s contribution to accountability for international crimes endures long after its doors have closed.Pravda na djeluInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2017-09-05 | Kako Međunarodni sud radi na učvršćivanju svog naslijeđa ispunjavajući svoj mandat i priprema se za zatvaranje, ponovo je objavio dokumentarni film Pravda na djelu, koji se bavi počecima, izazovima i uspjesima prvog međunarodnog krivičnog suda na svijetu od Nurnberga i Tokija.
Pravda na djelu, prvi u nizu dokumentarnih filmova u produkciji MKSJ-a, predstavlja vrijednu i informativnu prezentaciju početaka i unutrašnjeg funkcionisanja prvog istinski međunarodnog suda i izazova s kojima se susreće. Ovaj film prikazuje okolnosti pod kojima je Tribunal osnovan od strane Savjeta bezbjednosti i njegovu evoluciju u pravnu instituciju bez presedana koja je postala uzor drugim međunarodnim sudovima. U filmu Pravda na djelu, u kojem se pojavljuju međunarodne sudije i zaposleni MKSJ-a, dat je pregled strukture suda, istraga, suđenja i presuda koje predstavljaju najdetaljniji zapis o događajima koji su zadesili stanovništvo na području bivše Jugoslavije.Kraj nekažnjivostiInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2017-08-30 | Međunarodni krivični sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ) osnovan je 1993. godine kao reakcija na masovna zvjerstva počinjena tokom sukoba u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. MKSJ je bio prvi međunarodni krivični sud poslije Nirnberga i Tokija, nastao kao prvi savremeni pokušaj procesuiranja ratnih zločina, zločina protiv čovječnosti i genocida, počinjenih u sukobima.
Uprkos tome što je na početku vladao opšti skepticizam da će ikada postati funkcionalan, i iskušenjima ranih godina, MKSJ je postao prvi sud u istoriji koji je protiv nekog aktuelnog šefa države podigao optužnicu za zločine protiv čovječnosti, a kasnije stvorio pravnu i procesnu osnovu savremenog sistema međunarodnog krivičnog pravosuđa.
Tokom svojih suđenja, Međunarodni sud je saslušao blizu 5.000 svjedoka; utvrdio činjenice o brojnim stravičnim zločinima počinjenim u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, uključujući genocid; usvojio i implementirao brojne inovativne pravne presedane; te je dokazao da vođe mogu biti pozvane na odgovornost za međunarodna krivična djela, pod uslovom da postoji politička volja međunarodne zajednice. Gotovo četvrt vijeka poslije svog osnivanja, MKSJ ostavlja iza sebe bogato naslijeđe kao solidnu osnovu za dalji razvoj međunarodnog krivičnog prava u godinama koje dolaze.
Video prikazuje inovativna dostignuća MKSJ tokom poslednje 24 godine.End of ImpunityInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2017-08-30 | The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established in 1993 as a response to mass atrocities committed during the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. The ICTY was the first international criminal court after Nuremberg and Tokyo, created as the first contemporary attempt to address war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed in conflicts.
Despite wide-spread initial skepticism that it would ever become functional, and the trials and tribulations of its early years, the ICTY became the first ever court to indict a sitting head of state for crimes against humanity and would go on to create the legal and procedural basis of the contemporary system of international criminal justice.
Through its trials, the Tribunal has heard close to 5,000 witnesses; established facts about numerous horrific crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia, including genocide; adopted and implemented many ground-breaking legal precedents; and proved that leaders can be held accountable for international crimes, subject to the political will of the international community. Nearly a quarter of a century after its establishment, the ICTY is leaving behind a rich legacy as a solid basis for the further development of international criminal law in years to come.
The video depicts the ICTY's groundbreaking achievements over the past 24 years.Fighting Impunity – John Hocking on the UN Mechanism for International Criminal TribunalsInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)2017-08-16 | Remarks by UN Assistant Secretary-General, Registrar, John Hocking, in Arusha, Tanzania, on 2 July 2012.

Da bi rad i naslijeđe MKSJ-a mogli imati pozitivan uticaj na procese tranzicijske pravde u zemljama bivše Jugoslavije, potrebno ih je prenijeti i objasniti građanima i institucijama u regionu. Outreach program MKSJ-a je tokom posljednjih 16 godina razvio niz sredstava i projekata usmjerenih ka približavanju MKSJ-a zajednicama na koje je imao najviše uticaja. Ipak, potreba za informisanjem o radu i naslijeđu MKSJ-a neće prestati poslije njegovog zatvaranja. Naprotiv, na drugim akterima će biti da nastave i dalje obogaćuju komunikaciju u vezi s naslijeđem MKSJ-a.
Ovo pokreće niz značajnih pitanja za budućnost: (i) šta je Outreach program MKSJ-a učinio da ohrabri i ojača aktere u regionu da nastave i preuzmu njegove napore i projekte i koje su tekuće i planirane aktivnosti lokalnih aktera usmjerene ka prenošenju naslijeđa MKSJ-a; (ii) kakvi trebaju biti ciljevi outreach aktivnosti poslije zatvaranja Međunarodnog suda i koje su potrebe lokalnih zajednica u vezi s naslijeđem MKSJ-a; (iii) šta je odgovornost raznih društvenih aktera kao što su političari, novinari, pravnici, ili civilno društvo u prenošenju naslijeđa MKSJ-a.
