On Knife鈥檚 Edge: The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia鈥檚 Impact on Violence Against Civilians
The post-Cold War era has witnessed horrific violence against non-combatants. In the Bosnian War alone, tens of thousands of civilians died. The founders of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)鈥攁nd then of the permanent International Criminal Court (ICC)鈥攈oped these courts might curb such atrocities. However, we still know very little about their actual impact. This talk will draw on the ICTY鈥檚 experience as the first wartime international criminal tribunal to provide insight into how and when these institutions might affect violence against civilians.
