criminal tribunal
Felony trial venue
A criminal tribunal is a court or judicial body established to try individuals accused of serious crimes, especially war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide.
Unlike ordinary courts, tribunals are often created for specific purposes or periods: the Nuremberg tribunal, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
The term emphasizes formal legal proceedings with the power to render binding judgments and impose sentences.
