These tribunals play a crucial role in addressing the legacy of mass atrocities, promoting transitional justice, and fostering reconciliation in post-conflict societies. However, the effectiveness of international criminal justice mechanisms in achieving these goals remains a subject of debate and scrutiny. This research project seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of international criminal tribunals in justice and reconciliation, with a focus on understanding their impact, challenges, and prospects for sustainable peace-building. By examining case studies and theoretical frameworks, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in the intersection of international criminal tribunals and transitional justice processes, and to provide insights into the prospects for enhancing their role in promoting justice and reconciliation in post-conflict societies.
