UN establishes International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals
22 Dec, 2010 Balkanblog
By a vote of 14 to none, with Russia abstaining, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1996, establishing the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT). The new body will finish remaing tasks after the mandates of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) complete their mandates.
The branch for Yugoslavia will commence in 2013 and will finalize the work of the ICTY after its operations will end in December 2014.
