International tribunals and court

In 2007, the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 (icty) made significant progress towards accomplishing its mandate by 2010 by adopting a number of concrete measures, including various rule amendments aimed at increasing the efficiency and efficacy of trial and appeal proceedings. For the first time in the Tribunal’s history, its three Trial Chambers ran seven trials simultaneously, three of which were multi-accused trials involving 18 accused. Two arrests were made during the year. With the exception of those two arrests, the Tribunal expected to be able to complete all of its trials by the end of 2009, and possibly all appeals by the end of 2011.
