1. Cite an example where United Nations functions as an International

Tribunal. Cite discussion on the outcome of the UNs decision? (100-150
words)
The UN has been involved with several tribunals established to bring justice to
victims of international crimes. The Security Council established two ad hoc
criminal tribunals, the ICTY and the ICTR. The UN has also been involved in various
ways with the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), the Extraordinary Chambers in
the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), and others. Though the UN continues to be
actively engaged in transitional justice and rule of law matters, the ICC is
mandated to be a permanent international criminal court, fulfilling the role of
these ad hoc criminal tribunals. There are many secondary sources of information
that can support research on various aspects of the work of the tribunals.

2. Cite discussion on the challenges encountered by the UN in implementing

the cited decision on the issue. (100-150 words)
International Criminal Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for
Genocide and Other Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law
Committed in the Territory of Rwanda and Rwandan Citizens Responsible for
Genocide and Other Such Violations Committed in the Territory of Neighbouring
States between 1 January and 31 December 1994.
