international landmark victim-related court cases  

Definición

  • Starting with the creation of the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo in the aftermath of World War II, the international community set up various international criminal courts over the course of the 20th century whose goal was to prosecute acts of particular gravity. Victims' rights before international courts, which were completely excluded from the proceedings in the early days of international justice, have considerably evolved in the last decade.
