Introductory Note

Abstract

This Introductory Note refers to the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 2016. During this period the Tribunal delivered three judgements, two by the Trial Chambers and one by the Appeals Chamber. The judgements of the two Trial Chambers have been appealed. The Šešelj case, in which the Chamber acquitted the accused, was appealed by the prosecutor. The appeals judgements are under the jurisdiction of the Mechanism and will be delivered in 2017 or 2018. There are still pending the Prlić case on appeal and the Mladić case in trial, both under the jurisdiction of the ICTY.
