Scharf * Ten years ago, on May 25, 1993, the United Nations Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the first international criminal court since the World War II Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals. The success of the ICTY led to the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 1994, and according to the President of the ICTY, Judge Theodor Meron, these two tribunals have already produced more international criminal law precedent than all of the previous international and domestic war crimes cases combined. In honor of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Yugoslavia Tribunal and in anticipation of the opening of the new permanent International Criminal Court, the New England School of Law's Center for International Law and Policy hosted a major international conference entitled The ICTY at Ten: A Critical Assessment of the Major Rulings of the International Criminal Tribunal over the Past Decade, which featured international prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, diplomats, and scholars. The conference presentations were divided into six panels: (1) An Overview; (2) The Substantive Law; (3) Due Process; (4) The Role of Defense Counsel; (5) Defenses; and (6) The Big Picture. This volume of the New England Law Review contains a dozen articles generated by that Conference, which we believe represent a significant contribution to the literature about the Yugoslavia Tribunal and international criminal law and * Professor of Law and Director of the Frederick K.
