The armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s were marked by extensive violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. To ensure some measure of accountability for the widespread killings, rapes, destruction of property, and massive displacement of people, the United Nations established the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
