Title: Assessing the legacy of the ICTY
Description: "This collection of essays assesses the legacy established by the most important international criminal tribunal since the Nuremberg and Tokyo war crimes trials, and considers what might be done to enhance or modify the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), including improvement of the capacity of state courts in the region to prosecute violations of humanitarian law by using the Tribunal's documents, evidence, law, and practice. The essays are derived from a conference, Assessing the Legacy of the ICTY, which was convened in the Hague. Participants included over 375 stakeholders from the former Yugoslavia; officals from the Tribunal's Chambers, Registry, and the Office of the Prosecutor; justice ministers and other government officials from Europe; and all elements of civil society-representatives of nongovernmental organizations, lawyers, and academics"--Provided by publisher.
