The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was a United Nations court created by the Security Council to prosecute serious crimes committed during the wars that accompanied the breakup of Yugoslavia. It sat in The Hague in the Netherlands and was the first international war crimes tribunal established since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials after the Second World War. It tried political and military leaders on charges including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and it indicted figures such as Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. The tribunal helped establish important precedents in international law, including the recognition of sexual violence as a war crime. It closed at the end of 2017, and its remaining work passed to a residual mechanism.
