Abstract

International Criminal Justice at the Yugoslav Tribunal – A Judge’s Recollection Mohamed Shahabuddeen (Oxford University Press, 2012, pp 264) It is now almost universally accepted that international criminal law has moved from an area of academic interest and study to a body of enforceable law, capable of bringing individuals to justice for serious breaches of international humanitarian law, including imposing punishment, such as sentences of life imprisonment, in appropriate cases. The work of the International Military Tribunals at the end of the Second World War was an important start in the process of transforming international criminal law into an enforceable feature of international jurisprudence. It was almost fifty years after this work was completed that the next chapter commenced, and unfortunately it took further atrocities on a grand scale, including a genocide in Rwanda, to revive efforts at the international level to hold individuals accountable for their responsibility in such crimes. In 1993 the Security Council of the United Nations created the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which was followed in 1994 with the creation of a similar Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). In June 1997 Judge Shahabuddeen, an eminent and experienced jurist, was appointed a judge
