International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established by Security Council resolution 827. This resolution was passed on 25 May 1993 in the face of the serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991, and as a response to the threat to international peace and security posed by those serious violations.

The Court of Appeal held, inter alia, that Erdemovics guilty plea at his initial appearance had not been informed and thus remitted the case to a new Trial Chamber, which rendered its judgment on 5 March 1998.
