A quick definition of International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda:

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was created by the United Nations to hold accountable those responsible for the genocide and other serious crimes committed in Rwanda and neighboring countries in 1994. The ICTR is located in Tanzania and was given a deadline to complete all investigations, trials, and appeals by 2010.

A more thorough explanation:

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) is a court established by the United Nations to prosecute individuals responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Rwanda and neighboring states between January 1, 1994, and December 31, 1994.

The ICTR is located in Arusha, Tanzania, and was established in 1994 by the United Nations Security Council. Its purpose is to bring to justice those who committed crimes during the Rwandan genocide, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people.

The ICTR was given a completion strategy in 2003, which called for all investigations to be completed by 2004, trials by 2008, and appeals by 2010. This strategy was based on the model used by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

One example of a case tried by the ICTR is the trial of Jean-Paul Akayesu, the former mayor of a Rwandan town called Taba. Akayesu was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity for his role in the killing of Tutsi civilians during the genocide.

Another example is the trial of Colonel Théoneste Bagosora, who was found guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes for his role in planning and executing the genocide.

These examples illustrate how the ICTR is responsible for holding individuals accountable for their actions during the Rwandan genocide. By prosecuting those responsible for these crimes, the ICTR aims to bring justice to the victims and prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future.
