| Title | Bursting The Hague's Bubble: The Evolution of ICTY Outreach |
| Summary | By the end of 2017, the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) will close its doors after more than two decades of operation. As the first international criminal tribunal since the Nuremberg Trials, the ICTY has been hailed as a monumental development in international law and the sign of a new era of criminal accountability and justice for war crimes. As the ICTY began its work and grew not only in its legal foundation but as an institution, changes were made in response to criticisms and challenges to its efficiency and impact as a mechanism of transitional justice (TJ). This thesis aims to provide insight on the use of international criminal tribunals as a mechanism for TJ, and investigate how the ICTY as an institution strove to meet its mandate and over time developed new strategies and mechanisms to try and fulfill its goals. The development of the Outreach Programme is examined as an important innovation in the Tribunal’s lifespan and as a case of institutional learning and adaptation in response to challenges and perceived failures. This thesis provides insight on factors involved in processes of change at international courts and is relevant to the study of international interventions for post-conflict reconstruction and future TJ efforts. |
