War Crimes Tribunals are legal bodies established to prosecute individuals accused of committing serious violations of international humanitarian law during armed conflicts. These tribunals aim to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, ensuring justice for victims and promoting the rule of law.
Notable examples include the Nuremberg Trials, which addressed crimes committed during World War II, and the International Criminal Court (ICC), which prosecutes individuals for crimes like genocide and war crimes. These tribunals play a crucial role in deterring future violations and fostering reconciliation in post-conflict societies.
