A comparative study of the ICTY and the ICTR and their “successes”: A deeper look at the legacy that will be left behind by these tribunals

Abstract

For my thesis I would like to focus on the two tribunals that are most well known in the world, the ICTY and the ICTR. These tribunals have not yet been completed and there are already tribunals set up in part by the UN that have modified the workings of the ICTY and the ICTR. I would like to take a look at the manner in which these tribunals have functioned over the years and what lessons can be learned from them in order to ensure that future tribunals, such as the tribunals mentioned above, can prevent the problems that have been endured by the ICTY and the ICTR.
