international criminal tribunals  

Definición

  • International criminal tribunals are criminal courts designed to investigate, prosecute, and punish the perpetrators of gross human abuses. Unlike the International Criminal Court, which is a permanent standing court, and the military tribunals of Nuremberg and Tokyo (1946), which the Allied powers created to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during World War II (1939–1945), international criminal tribunals are mandated or temporary courts established under chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
