Notes
editWorld War II
editAmerican military tribunal at Dachau in 1946, tried 75 people for the Malmedy massacre. 73 of these were convicted.[1]
Yugoslav Wars
editAfter the Yugoslav Wars, an international Court was formed to try war criminals (ICTY). However, ICTY tried only a selected number of high-ranking people (a total of 161), with local Courts (in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia) starting trials mostly against inidividuals or soldiers who carried out orders of those high-ranking officers. Many of those have been convicted.
Croatia raised charges against 3666 people for war crimes, of which 1381 were dropped due to lack of evidence.[34]
