In May 1993, the United Nations created The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). This was the first war crimes court created by the UN and the first international war crimes tribunal since the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals. The key objective of the ICTY is to try those individuals most responsible for appalling acts such as murder, torture, rape, enslavement, destruction of property and other crimes, namely genocide.

These pen & ink drawings are part of a series depicting some of the 161 indicted criminals from the former Yugoslav Territories. The drawings are executed on circulated paper currency from Yugoslavia dating from the conflict; money that was potentially in the pockets of both criminals and victims.
